tions in the good old days." when
big three and four mast schooners
brought ice to Washington and un-
loaded it at the ice houses on the
river front. 1t was quite common TO
have things go wrong with ice. One
summer we would have an ice short
age because i'll the preceding winter
the ice on the Kennebec and Penob-
scot was too thick to cut and the
next summer we would have another
shortage because the ice was too thin
TO cut the winter before. Washington

THE WAYS OF WASHINGTON
BY WILLIAM PICKETT HELM.

What are the ways OF Washington
when it comes to letting the money out
Of the Treasury? How does 1t spend
the millions tho taxpayers give IL each
year?
Suppose you pay the goveElnIent 800
in taxes, what do you get III return?
How is the money spent? What does
the government buy? How much Of 1t
goes to pay interest on the natioal
debt? How much for civilization of the
Sioux" How much for the printed
speeches of our statesmen and near
statesmen on Capitol Hill?
Or do You just forget il after you've
paid your bin?
Here is the way rncl, Sam spends
every 500 you pay him:
lie pays for new warships. $3.49.
lie pays the Navy. s4.l7.
The Army gets $l.2i.
For carrying the Army over the rail
roads and highways, 55 cents.
For the QuartermaSter Corps in the
Army, $2.SS; subsistence in the Navy,
80 cents
Oil and coal for our warships, etc,
S19S.
For the air service Of the Army. sc
cents.
For repairing vessels in the Navy. 81
cents.
Expenses Of maintaining the Marine
Corps. ~ cents
Rather warlilie. t.h" Well. We started
with that subject but il doesn't mean
that most OF our national bill is for the
Army and Navy. hut while were on
the subject. let's 90 Il little deeper into
the Army'S expenses. Here. are some
more: Subsistence of rhc Army. 81
cents: uniforms, cents: chemical war
fare service, d cents: West Point. d
cents, medical department uf the
Army. cents: maintaining fortitica :
i&ons 10 cents: maintaining soldiers
homes. % cents; rational cemeteries II
cents: Panama canal. ! cents.
Uncle sam spends II cents Of our
Sf01 in recruiting for the Navy and in
Navy transportation expense Public
works incidental to the Nays opera
ton cost % cents. and the clothing and
small stores fund calls for S1.03.
The Veterans Bureau calls for 50 -
out OF our 500 bill. Almost half of
the money goes for vocational re-
habilitation-s4.3 in 1921. to be cx-
act.
Military and naval compensation 10
the disabled calls for S3.0S.
|. Three cents is given as an allow
ance to the families Of disabled Vet
Grams.
Military and naval insurance costs
sa.03. Hospita! and medical services
and facilities take another bite of
sl.72 ont Of our 500 bill.
These Veterans Bureau items total
more than 500 There's a book X eep-
ing drawback which offsets this-itf
least that's what The estimates and
appropriations say.

All told. the government hands
Sll.OS to the War Department., $11.62
! to the Navy Department, 1895 to the
Veterans bureau and s619 to the
Pension Office. That accounts for
almost $40 of our 500.
NeXt-or, perhaps. first of all
Uncle Sam pays the annual interest
on his debt That is the biggest
single item of outgo. 1T calls for
S24.1S.
Then some instaIlment payments of
various kinds on the principal of the
| national debt. These amount 10
| $l031 more.

That's "a pretty high price for war.

BY THE ,IAnaUIsE DE: FoNTENoY.

There are two distinct characters i'll
the makeup OF Lord Robert Cecil,
who is arriving in New York within
the next few days, for the purpose OF
delivering Il series of public ad-
dresses throughout the country. One
character is that of a shrewd and
successful lawyer, who will not hesi-
tate to resort to legal artitices, and
even trickery, to win his case. The
other is that OF a politician-almost
| of a statesman-of strong convictions
! and of high principles, to which he is
prepared to make the greatest sacrl-
! fees.
| 1t would be interesting to know in
what capacity Lord Robert is coming
/ to America. He Indignantly repu-
dates the idea that he Is visiting the
| United States with the idea of UNDER
taking any British propaganda in be-
half of the league of nations. In
deed, he processes the greatest ab-
horrence for anything in the nature
of foreign propaganda. which he
rightly denounces as an impertnence
and as an insult to the intelligence
of the American people. But, most
with the same breath. he proclaims
Ibis intention of making the league or
nations the principal theme or MS
public utterances while in America
This is a piece OF caSuistry, SuEgeS-
! tive of the lawyer rather than or the
statesman crusading in hehalt OF ms
| settled convictions, and of what he
has made his chief object in life.
j; X x !:
| AS an Illustration OF his casuistry, l
lmay recall a case in which, even be-
fore his election to the house OF COM
mons, he appeared before one OF the
most numerous parliamentary COM
mittees as counsel for those who OPP
posed the project of the metropolitan
authorities for the extension OF the
| Chelsea embankment of the Thames,
an extension involving the disappear
ance of what was known as Chelsea
reach. Despite the fact that in his
speech he never once made use OF
the word sand" or "Shingle," Lord
Robert became so intense and ear
nest in his argument against the
apparent act of vandalism to natu-
| rally pretty spot that he was able 70
Impress upon the imagination OF the
| members of parliament the picture
, of a delightful stretch of exquisite
marine scenery with children dis
porting themselves on the foreshore,
on the sands and shingles. He wound
up his address by boldly inviting the
members of the committee to visit
| the spot, to judge for themselves;
arranged to accompany them as their
guide and so time the trip that they
went there at high tide.
| on the strength of what they saw
they unanimously voted against the
measure and pronounced themselves
against the extension of the Chelsea
| embankment. 1t was only after this
had been done that some of them.
prompted by the angry protests of
| the London county counsel, visited
| Chelsea reach at low tide and were
treated to the sight and the smell of
an expanse of. malodorous Thames

cision of the committee was reversed

presentation of the case before the
/ committee was denounced as typi-
cal piece of Cecil Jesuitism.

Somewhere within this prospect chill

Lie hid the beauties of the blushing

Somewhere the mathis iridescent tear
Waits for the petal where it may

Though storms may threat and clouds
may darkly lower,
The violet, patient and observed by
none,
Attends the message of the springtime
shower
To keep it's love tryst with the faith
full sun.
Though grief declares that JOY shall

And shadows seem to reign in SON.

The Gum Craze.

Chewing gum! Everywhere.
How the scent pervades the air,
Breath of the vanilla bean,
Peppermint and wintergreen,
How they come
In the gum,
Mingled with petroleum.
Maggie sticks it in the mirror;
Willie leaves it in the chair.
Gertrude likes to have it nearer;
Bites off some and keeps it thel
Chewing.
Chewing.
Chewing.
Chewing.
Men and women, old and young,
Nothing doing
Except chewing
Till our jaws are fairly wrung
With the awful fascination
OF this wholesale mastication.
At the playhouse, at the church
You may find it without search.
On the chair it seeks retreat,
To the floor it CLUES your feet.
Baby smears it everywhere,
On your shirt front, in your hair,
Doggie nearly chokes to death
And the cat is short of breath.
The canary's sick and glum,
All laid out by chewing gum.
What are people coming to?
What's the country going to do
If we cease all conversation.
And unite as one great nation
And do naught on earth but
CHEW?

pretty and, not having that worry to
contend with. she is able TO act in an
easy, natural manner.
The biggest thrill that many Of us
grownups knew as children was the
horse-drawn fire wagon pounding and
roaring its way in answer to an alarm.
Many children of this generation will
never experience that thrill, as the fire
horse is rapidly becoming extinct. The
chugging Of an auto engine never can
be so wildly exciting as the thudding Of
horses koofs.
The passing Of the fire horse serves
as the basis for new film called The
