A WASTE OF WORDS

1t is announced that the cost of printing the Congressional Re-
cord for the recent and final session of the Sixtyseventh. Congress
was more than 100000. Four thousand dollars a day to lay before
the people the priceless aPhorisms, the soaring eloquence, the con,
edition of the Record not out nearly two weeks after Congress has
devoted to speeches that, paradoxically, never were delivered.
Included in this and other recent editions OF the Congressional
Record are speeches that might just as well not have been delivered.
They were the addresses utilized to hold up and defeat the shipp-
ing bill. They had not the slightest relevance to that meritorious
measure. They contributed no enlightenment on that or any. other
subject. But they took up the atime-and later the space in the
Congressional Record. And the people foot the bill-Pittsburgh

CARE Of LUMBER
TELLS IN BUILDING

Care of lumber prior to use for build :
Ing purposes and its condition at the
time OF use often determine to large
extent the value of the building and the
rate at which depreciation will take
place.
Green or partially dried lumber when
not properly piled will twist and warp
in drying and will retain this twisted
and and warped condition after being taken
from the pile. Green lumber when
closely piled or stored without ample
provision for the circulation of air is
very likely to stain and become infected
with decay. This is especially true in
warm. damp weather. Decay once
started in ID timber will frequently con-
tiuue after the timber has been placed

building III Il fairly green condition
and so inclOSed as TO partially cut off
circulation of the air. are very likely to

Napwood is much worse than heartwood,
although in the strength of the sound
material there is no difference.
Little Attention to Piling.
When the rough lumber is delivered
A, a building site but little attention is
generally paid to the pilng or to the
sunshine. II is common practice to use
some of the building material for con-
crete forms. This material when re-
moved is not infrequcntly thrown

on lumber of such treatment and the
ensuing wctting and drying are often
quite disastrous, resulting in develop

DENIES PARENT
BLOOD MARKS
OFFSPRING
Test Would Not Identify Child,
Dr.. J. H. Burton Says-Dr.
Reichert's Older View.

Blood tests cannot determine the
parentage of child, in the opinion
of DIR. John Henry Burton. 1915 U
street northwest, who specializes ii
making diagnoses for physicians. He
said that the question was brought
to the attention Of the American
Medical Association. and that or
ganization made an official inves-
tigation. Reports on the findings
showed that the blood OF child is
not an index to its parentage.
On the other hand, determination
OF the parentage of child through
blood tests involving an analysis
of the blood of the mother. and that
of the alleged father was declared
possible by DR.. John Reichert. re-
sylvania, in 1912, when he startled
the scientific world by demonstrat.
ing that the blood Of no two human
beings is alike.
According to DIR. Reichert the
composite blood Of the child, when
broken down, would show the char
acteristic markings Of that OF each
OF its parents.
Sure Of His Test.
The analysis necessary to def
mite Identification of parentage, he
declared, was necessarially OF an
extremely delicate character. and
would require a period Of several
weeks to complete. He was GER
tain, he asserted. that the result
would prove conclusive, however.
and where the importance Of the
determination warranted the ex-
pense OF the test. the latter could
safely be employed.
In discussing the character OF
human blood he stated that the
unsatisfactory results attending
numerous blood transfusions up to
that time could be traced to the
mixing of human bloods having an,
tagonistic or unharmonizable char
acteristics and that the more salts
factory results followed where
blood of a common origin. as in
family stock, was used, or that OF
nonrelatives having well defined
common factors with that Of the
patient.
Based on Girls Suit.
The question arose in a discussion
of the case of Charles F. Miller.
former captain in the District fire
department. who is being sued for
$4,000 by jeanette Frances Decker.
eighteen years old. who was stenog-
rapher to Miller. Miller is wealthy
concrete and coal dealer of Bethesda.
Md. Elmer G. Decker. s114 Four
teenth street northwest, is Joint
complainant against Miller. Miss
Decker gave birth tosa baby week
ago.
Miller. in denying the girls
charges, told his attorneys that he
was willing to accept the challenge
that a test be made of his and the
baby's blood in order to determine
the parentage. The suit was filed in
the Rockville court. Miss Decker is
represented by John A. Garrett,
Washington and Rockville attorney.
