PLACES CLAMP
 ON SENATORIAL
 EXTRAVACANCE

WASHINGTON, June 12.-Congress still talks itself to the point of fatigue. But no longer can it talk, and have the printed eloquence circulated without limit among the dear people back home. It's a new day for Congress. Economy, mapped out by the Presi- dent, is being swallowed by Congress. Congress gurgles and chokes in the process every perceptibly, but with out any feeling of grave concern at the executive end of the avenue.
 The President has called a real halt to the abuse of senators and congress men tanning the mails with speeches intended to improve the statesmen's political standing. The printing bill is being cut to the bone. Uncle Sam is gaining by the process. The tax payers also are benefited. Under the tax burden now borne they may not feel it much, but the saving occasioned by trimming the Capitol's spending for literature printed at government expense is real, and it all helps to make the economy drive genuine.
 Latest figures submitted to the President show that the governments printing bill, which in former years has run about SIP 2,O00,O0O, will not ex- ceed $9,000,OO during the fiscal year ending next June. A saving of $3,- 000,000 has been possible by restrict ing the demands of Senators and Rep resentatives to actual and cOnserva- tive limits. A Senator can no longer throw demand at the public printer for odd and fancy binding unless it meets with the approval of the gov ernment's new printing committee, es- tablished as a clearing house for the Capitol and departmental needs.
 Congressmen have been stopped in the game of former years of filling the mails with volumes of government re- ports of every kind and description, a large percentage of which may not be read or digested after they reach their destination. In fact, government departments are not squandering money as in the old days printing highly technical treatises on this or that topic of no special public interest. This waste has been checked. There must be a real reason for the publica- tior of government documents or they are barred.
 Thousands of tons of such literature based upon government inquiries of all kinds have rolled up government ex- pense in previous years. Not small item, too. in the general expense has been the cost of transporting such mat ter through the mails. The govern ment pays the railroads a specified rate for carrying the mails. Govern ment publications make up an aston ishingly large percentage of all gov ernment mail matter.

Carrying On With the American Legion

A community playground will be made by the Legion at Nashville, Tenn, the ex-soldiers bearing the ex- pense of apparatus and upkeep.
 In Korea, American ex-soldiers, most of them missionaries under the leader ship of a Southern Presbyterian mis- sion, have formed post of the Le4 zion.
 During the war it cost Uncle Sam $500 to clOthe each of his soldiers. The present doughbOy is garbed in cloth ing costing, but $1S9, the War depart ment states.
 The only woman field clerk in the army Is Miss Jean Hodson of San Francisco, Cal, secretary to Major General Morton. She holds the rank of sergeant major.
 The Legion in both North and South will henceforth observe the birthdays of Generals Lee and Grant, rival lead CTS of the Civil war. The birthday of General Grant was observed on April 27 this year and that of Lee will be ob- served January 19, 1923.

Utica is frightful one-night stand
and Syracuse looks as If it had been
knocked together" but this time, al.
though he reads 10000 New Yorkers,
somehow he keeps his privacy, Stan
ley T. Williams writes in The North
American Review. In the quiet of his
room he has his first cocktail, q
Rocky Mountain sneezer," made of
brandy, rum and snow. American
crudeness on this second journey
seems less horrible and funnier. In
st. Louis an old man submits para
phrase of the entire book of Job. He
wants to read 1t aloud to Mr.. Dickens
and get his opinion of 1t. A letter
comes from the south asking for an
original epitaph for the tomb of an
infant. Another southern lady solicits
an autograph copy of the lines by Mrs.
Leo Hunter to an expiring frog" But
in these state competitions New Jer-
sey bears the bell. A lady offers to
submit record of all the funny
things which have happened in her
family during the past 100 years. Out
of this material Dickens is to create
a novel and share the profits with
the aforesaid lady. What could be
more delightful?

cRoSs-0vER BODICE RETURNS
Supple Materials With Plenty Of Full
ness, the Proper Thing for
Garment

The cross-over bodice with a deep
V neck effect has come back again. 1t
Is a welcome relief after the plain
chemise front that has held sway so
long. Supple materials, with plenty
Of fullness, are the proper thing for
the cross-over bodice. The gowns
which feature this new-Old fashion
usually catch the bodice at one side
with little bouquet of silk flowers.
Most of these cross-over effects have
rather long waistline, and sometimes
a sash that ties at the left side with
ends hanging to the hem of the skirt.
The new fiecked feather is much in
evidence. A fawn crinoline hat had
fawn feathers tipped with orange.
Other hats are showing brown feathers
hecked with gold, fuchsia with silver,
gray with light blue. A black and
white costume was supplemented with
hat of black plush on which stood
up cluster Of white ostrich tips
flecked with black.

LOOKS LIKE SWEATER
Garment Is One Of the FancIes Of the
Season; Russian Influence 10
Quite Prominent.

The blouse that looks like sweater
is one Of fashions fancies this season.
Blouses appear in-various cOlors and
color combinations, the most effective
by far being those In white with multi
cOlored embroideries. Worn with white
linen or silk skirts, such blouse
would be smart for summer.
Blouses seem to have arrived at
happy medium so far as length Is
concerned, few Of the very long over
blouses being seen now, and those that
reach barely to the hips or at most
only an inch or two below are in the
majority. This length avoids the
definite break at the waistline, which
Is often unbecoming.
The Russian influence is quite prom
inent in the seasons showing Of
blouses. The Russian peasant sleeve,
the round neck with low outstanding
collar and the embroidered motifs that
trim many of the blouses all carry out
this suggestion.
A good deal Of attention Is being
given to blouses in high shades, and
certainly such a blouse is smart with
dark colored suit
The vogue for Paisley prints con-
tinues, and crepe de chine printed In
small flowers and figures is also being
used to make some attractive blouses.

Lovely Lace Gown,

One of the gowns worn by a Ion
don debutante for presentation at
court has revived a fashion that bids
fair to become popular this summer. 1t
is the skirt of graduated ruffles of fine
lace. The titled debutante who wore
the original with such grace selected
point desprit net as foundation. Over
thls-the gown being all white-the
tiny flouncess of lace were arranged
in graduated tiers from hem to normal
waistline. The bodice was simple,
kerchief effect, crossed at the waist.
The sash and train were of white
satin, with panel Of the point d'esprit
down the center.

WORN WITH THE LINEN SUIT
White or coIored Blouse May Be Used;
Hat, Hosiery and Gloves
in Keeping.

With linen suit of white, either a
white or colored blouse may be worn
effectively, and the hat and hosiery
and gloves may be In keeping with
the general color scheme.
Gingham blOuses and linen or cot
ton blouses trimmed in glngham are
much approved this season. Hats and
parasols Of gingham to wear with
them are being shown. Such acces-
sories would be smart for occasional
wear with a white linen coat and
skirt suit.
A charming linen suit recently seen
featured loose-IIne coat fastening al
the neck. with a detachable self-fabrie
vest. The vest was trimmed with
crosswIse rows Of hemstitching. Tho
coat proper was plain. but the skirt
was striped at intervals Of about two
inches by hemstitching. and two patch
pockets we're similarly finished.

An American, who has spent much
of his time in Scotland, tells of a
comicaL blunder which an eminent
citizen of Glasgow was eager to per
petrate upon the city's statue of Mel
son. Nothing florid in the way of an
inscription was wanted, but something
the merit of which would consist in
it's brevity and sincerity.
"Glasgow to Nelson" was the ad-
vice given by the American when ap-
preached by the city fathers.
"Aye, very guid suggestion" said
one of the citizens. "And, as the tOon
O.. Nelson is close at hand, micht we
no just say, Glasgow to Nelson, sax
miles, so that it MIGHT serve for a
monument and milestone, too?"

LIVES IN BORROWED SHELL
Hermit Crab Has Peculiar Habit OF
Seeking Out Shells Of Dead Mol
lusks for Domicile.

The most peculiar thing about the
hermit crab is his curious habit of
living in the shell of dead mollusks.
His motive is to protect his hind-bOdy.
The fore part of his anatomy is COW
cred with a thick, horny crust. His
abdomen is soft and invested with a
delicate membrane. The slightest rup-
ture or abrasion to this abdomen COW
ering is almost certain to be fatal.
With it's belly, the hermit crab holds
on to its portable home. Occasionally
1t will change one acquired shell for
another. When exchanging shells it
must act with utmost caution and dis
patch lest it be harmed by some en-
emy who may be lurking near.
This exchange is often made at the
mere whim of the animal, but after
each moulting is compelled to find a
larger home to accommodate its grow
ing body.

An expedition was moving through

They emerged one day from the dense

anger, for another voice broke in:
