Mrs. Eagan's Letter.
Said Mrs. Eagan. in her letter to
the President:
ut was printed in yesterdays Wash
ington Evening Star that you would
refuse to call a one-day extra session
of the Senate to swear in Mrs. FELTON,,
newly appointed senator from Geor-
gia, owing to the expense. The rumor
surely does you grave injustice. You
have the vision and Imagination
(without which a people perish) that
will enable You to see that our ma
tons noble obligation TO woman
kind is indissolubly bound up in see
ing that Mrs. FELTON, reaches the seat
10 which she has been commissioned
by a sovereign state. The economy

represents the highest political
achievement of the women OF the re-
public) would be reactionary. destruc-

great. free people.
Il feel that / voice the desire Of
multitudes of woman voters, who Will
shortly be approaching the polls. In
supporting Mrs. Lonstreet's appeal
for a one-day session of the Senate
perceive, the House of Representa-
tives would not have to be assembled.
The only extra expense in calling to-
gether the Senate would be the mile
age. which would amount to only
about $4,000.
when, in all our history has the
cost of 1t deferred our government in
the performance of a noble duty? A
man-made government has left wom-
an heritage of loose laws. All our
lives the heavy penalties of mems
omissions and commissions have been
unloaded on our weak shoulders. May
we be relieved of being made the VIC
conspire with chivalry to open the
way for Mrs. FELTON, to take her seat
Her triumph is the triumph Of q
cause, and it is the triumph of the
women of a proud nation. Are you
willing to deny US the full fruits of

MAIL-B0X SALESMAN
is ACCUSED OF FRAUD
High Prices Declared Paid Because
Profiteering Agent Claims Post
Offices Sanction.
To the Editor Of The Star:

TO the Editor Of The Star:
l wonder if The Star would not be
doing the community worthwhile
service by calling attention to the
TACT that the recent order requiring
mail boxes by January l does not re-
quire any particular type of box. My
reason for suggesting this is that ex-
treme profiteering or just possibly
outright fraud is being perpetrated
under the opportunity offered by this
order.
In the Chevy Chase region a Young
man is taking orders for boxes, an
nouncing at the door, I'm from the
post ONCE" and so securing hearing
that perhaps another agent might not
be accorded. and. apparently under
this impression of official sanction, is
selling almost every house not al
ready supplied. which means nearly
all of them. The boxes are priced be-
Iyond all reason. box that undoubted-
ly could be made and sold at a eoodly
profit If priced at SO cents and which
is purchasable in hardware houses
of the city at Is cents, Is being sold
by this agent at S1.65. other models
and sizes in proportion.
1t is true the purchaser buys with
his eyes open and pays for the box
on delivery, but he is also buying
under the impression that the article
and the price are matters of official
sanction and therefore. however ex-
orbitant 1t may seem, must neverthe-
| less be met. ]. NJ. SKULL.

Nature study teachers have pointed
out to the children that the Tussock
catterpillars. distinguished by their
furry coat Of yellow and black offset
with caps or red. have done untold
damage in feeding upon the leaves
of elm. maple. horse chestnut and
many other trees. After eating their
fill, the teachers told the pupils. the
gay marauder spins his blanket about
him and goes comfortably to sleep
in some Granny Of the bark. to emerge
later as a moth. each pair of which
produce hundreds more Of the cater
pillars. From roots to crown the
trunks and branches of such pretty
trees as the elms facing the new
National Museum. the horse chest
nuts of Iowa circle and countless
others are dotted with the cocoons.
