Guides at the Capitol are a protec-

Benjamin J. Cady. chief guide, who
has been q member of the force since

1shed to protect the people" Mr..
Gady said today. we feel that we

He showed letters from railroad COM

others. thanking him for the service
rendered by the guides. Mr.. Cady
does not feel that anything would be
gained. he said. by putting himself
and his twelve comrades upon the
government pay rolls, as has been
advocated.
Seventy five per cent of tho sight

Mr.. Cady would not tell what he
and his companions were earning,
but intimated that those who thought
sums were very much in error.

Five Guides are Veterans.
Chief Cady was born in Maryland.
He has made special study of the
Capitol and other government de-

is always available to tourists. who
ask him thousands of questions.

COLOGNE July 30.-SIow starvation,
which has been the constant nightmare
of the Ruhr population since the begin
ming of the French occupation, is now
becoming a serious danger. Originally
the French gave a formal promise not
to interfere with the food supply. Tech
nically they have kept that promise ex-
cept in isolated instances. where, ap-
parently, subordinates exceeded their
authority. Practically, however. during
the past six weeks the food supply has
been continuously though indirectly
hampered by French measures.
The seizure of all the main railway
lines and the blocking of many of the
secondary lines has made food dis
tribution precarious. Food trains and
terference, chiefly from Ruhrort and
Dortmund, but the problem OF distribut-
ing the food from those points among
a population of 100000 is extremely
difficult.
Used Trolley Lines.
A month ago the French seized the
railway at Essen and Dortmund. which
had been the backbone of the food dis
tribution. Then the Germans used the
trolley lines, but the French ordered the
trolley service to be reduced to the pre-
occupation scale. Next the Germans
Communicated all available automobiles
and these became the sole means of dis
tributng the food supply to many a
Ruhr city. The complete blockade of
the Ruhr area from unoccupied Ger

At present the situation in many
localities is precarious. Essen is re-
ceiving only one-third of its normal
supply of meat at the municipal

Gear. An ironing board should be
exactly the right height, just as a
sink should. If anything, an ironing
board should be a little too low
rather than a little too high. for it
is necessary to bear down hard on
padded embroidery and the linen
around the edges of filet lace, in
order to bring out perfect smooth
ness. Then. too, there will be less
effort in lifting the iron from it's
standard If you do not have to lift
from the shoulder. Experiment with
it until the height is exactly right
for you.
Next. be sure that your electric
iron-for / see you use one-is
neither too near the plug nor too far
from it. If it is too near the cord
will be in your way and will drape
itself around your working arm. If
it is too far there will be an occa-
sional pull upon the iron. Either
condition is apt to annoy you a little
and so weary you.
Finally, be sure that your clothes
are of just the proper dampness. II
they are too wet they will become
stiff and unyielding under your iron.
II they are too dry they will not iron
easily and will not take that satin
polish that linen should have.
"And. last of all. don't attempt too
much ironing at one time. Stand
ing so long on your feet will tire you.
and l think it is better to dampen
down q few things at q time and then
iron a. few at q time than to iron until
you are thoroughly tagged and never
