Cleaning the Capitol

the vast amounts of metal attract
lightning. Time and again the God
dess of Freedom has been struck by
lightning, but the extraordinary
lightning decoy system has always
been efficient in Turing the barbed
darts of fire away from the Capitol
before they could effect any damage.
y -
livery couple of years the bronze
IL effigy of Mistress Freedom is
bathed and cleaned Generally, the
job costs about $4,000. 1t takes a
Ealf-hundred riggers the greater part
of a week to remove the weather
stains and spots from the huge
statue, which is nineteen and one-half
feet high. With it's mass of under
lying ironwork in the dome, the great
statue weighs more than 9,o00.O0o0
pounds. The task of cleansing the
large bronze figure is difficult, because
of the hazards which the workmen
run in 1aboring on tiny ladders and
swinging scaffolds 2S7 feet above
the ground. The Job of painting the
Capitol dome is almost as risky. II
takes 1900 gallons of paint to cover
the huge skyline hemisphere.
More than 10000 pounds Of soap
powder are used annually in main
tanning the Senate Office building
scrupu1ously neat. Correspondingly
larger amounts of the material are
used here and there and every
where throughout the Capitol and
House Office building Fifty barrels
of sawdust and dozen gross of corn
and hair brooms are consumed month
ly in the maintenance of the Senate
office building. To keep the hands
and faces of our national congress
men bright and clean requires the
use of more than 2,270.0o0 towels
a year. The campaign OF orderly ap-
pearance even is extended to the
Capitol grounds and plazas. It costs
about $4,000 every twelve months
to give the lawns their regular shaves
and haircuts.
No hospital or scientific laboratory
in the land is more fresh and clean.
pure and wholesome than the in
teriors of the extensive structure
that governs the destinies of the

eight states which soon will resound

Pelham leaned eagerly forward.
That's exactly what l want to hear.
To whom have their checks been pay
able?"
ITO cash." replied the banker.
But that's incredible" cried Pei
ham.
Nevertheless. it's true. They've
deposited. in one afternoon, checks
from fifty brokerage houses. On the
next day they have come to the bank,
one or the other of the partners. ac-
comDanied by bodyguards, and have
Withdrawn as much as a million dol
lars in cash"
Pelham stared at him. '"why?" he
demanded.
The banker smiled. You're the
one to answer that, not l."
Pelham sat up late that night, 60
ing over the matter with Jerry Tryon.
THE only thing" said Jerry, to-
ward the end of their talk, that
seems to shed any light on the situa-
tion is the mention by Carey, the
banker. of the Gray Ghost"
81 don't see where he comes in"
objected Pelham.
That's exactly the point" retorted
Tryon. when you don't see his hand,
you can sort of figure that it's there,
somewhere"
Pelham chuck1ed. Jerry, you're an
old woman"
Maybe So" Jerry was stubborn.
You and I certainly do differ on the
Gray Ghost. One day you see him
everywhere. and he don't even creep
into a corner of my eye. Next day
I spot him in something. and you're
