Representing your country in Con- gress isn't always a money making busi- ness. Nents are high, exorbitantly high, in Washington, and the cost of living quite. different from the old home town with the hams on the rafter and the hens as vocal as the best publicist.
 Dress is another hurdle to leap. Ger tain clothes are required for certain functions and the cost must be met. It is all vesy well fer the millionaire senators and the near-rfch. But the man who carries his stock in trade in his head and turns that over to the country finds 1t very hard to make ends meet.
 Dress is a subject which requires both time and money if you mean> to specialize in it. Some have the time, but not the money. Others have the money, but are cursed with appalling ideas. You generally find the latter starting the day cncrusted with bead- work and bad taste. Bejeweled for. breakfast, dinner means merely the elimination of a few more clothes. half a sleeve and a slice of bodice. Some know more about trucks than tucks while others get more thrill = out of politics than petticoats. You get. them all ways.
 We heard great deal about the limitation of armaments. But the naval race was nothing compared with the social race and yet we hear no sug- gestion of a conference for the limita- tion of, social armaments.
 In this arena competition is so fierce that unless limit is set twill not oply deter worthy aspirants from. contesting congressional honors but, prove disastr ous to those already here.
 They are facing further plunge or social extinction. In that case they may as well be dead as live in Wash ington. Finding Home A Hard Task
 Yes, l know that many of the coun- trys representatives are dollar kings of the copper, coal or cash variety. While they sit in the Senate their wealth grows overnight. Others are merely rich. Quite few whose wealth is won with head or hand find all private income stopped when they divert their own machine to the manufacture of more laws. AH3 It is bad enough with congreksen. but few degrees worse for thes tors and the salary leave, an ugiR sssis between the ins and outs, where Gplsl lars are concerned.
 To find n home in Washington A, the first and worst problem. TKe city knows you must come and exacts d premium on the inevitable faou phy heavily fo- the privilege. The lfaeeebe gins here. ~

Major Magruder Will Lecture
 Of Tactics Thursday

Major Bruce AIagruder will deliver an> address on "The Battilion In De fense" at the regular monthly meet ing of the Reserve Officers association to be held at the Greenwood cafe Thurs day evening.
 The subject of the talk, field prob lem demonstrated at Ford Benning by student officers of the national guard and organized reserves during the re- cent visit of Johp R. Quinn, nation al legiona commander, is expected to be of unusual interest to members of the association. Major Magruder was in personal charge of this problem, which, with the use of live ammunition and an observance of actual war con- ditions, was considered one of the most magnificent ''sham battles" ever pro- duced. ..<
 Beside Major Magruder's talk. other forms of entertainment are on the pro- gram together with the annual cleo tion of officers.

ROADS PROTEST
 TRAIN CONTROL
Seek Modification Of Order To
 Install Imperfect Device

WASHINGTON, March 4.--Bighty- nine first class railroads asked the in- terstate. commerce commission today to modify its order for installation of automatic train control devices.
 The joint petition declared that auto matic train control devices, intended to stop a train when it enters a danger zone. are as yet imperfectly developed and that the experimental, operation of them does not justify extensive utiliza- tion. It was declared also that install lation of such devices would require the railroads to ''spehd many millions" without assurance of return and with out effectively increasing safety.
 The petition asked rehearing as to the entire scope of the second order and another years postponement of the ef- fective date on the first order.

TOO MUCH PAVING
Delegation Protests Rear Lot Improve
 mentS

One paved street in front of the house is enough for anybody, and an- other paved street in the rear is too >much-if the same property owners have to paysa share of the cost
 This was the opinion of a delegation of citizens before the city commission Tuesday regarding the Gibson place in West End. s
 The delegation said they never knew there was to be another street in the rear of their 140-foot lots and that it wouldn't add any value to their prop erty.
 Ordinances for the work have already been adopted, and confirmed and so the delegation was instructed to confer with Commissioner W. E. Dickson and Engineer A. J. Hawkins to see what could be done about the situation.
 The street in the rear was spon- sored by Mir. Gibson, who desired an inlet to his property, it is understood. The delegation said it didn't mind Mir. Gibson having the street, but didn't want to help him pay for it.

STOCK LETTERS

NEW YORK, March 4.-while trad- ing has continued in light volume and to considerable degree professional, prices in the afternoon have shown some improvement following some- what irregular morning session. This improvement is attributed chiefly to a statement that President Coolidge is still strongly in favor of the scientific Mellon plan.
 It is hoped that this may have some influence on the action of the Senate in considering the bill. A distinct ad- vance in the price of copper metal of late is noted, and this has helped to steady the copper shares, somewhat un- settled by the passing of the Anaconda and Inspiration dividends last week. Rails are steady and there has been some .recoverN in the northwestern shares from their recent low figures. The, railroad outlook seems encourag- ing. The initial selling of oils was over come by later improvement. The oil investigation in Washington Is offset bys the improved trade prospect. On the whole,4 the market acts well and shows an underlying strength, which speaks well for possibilities if Washington de- become more favorable. To- tai sales, 656,000.-Post & Flagg to Shannon & Co.
 NEW YORK, March 4.-Prices were again irregular and trading compara- lively quiet in today's market The street" appeared to be waiting for news from Washington. and the stocks that were at all conspicuous. were in- fluenced by reasons directly connected with the investigations. American Wool opened with a large block, an advance of 'S3 from last nights close. There has existed large short inter- est in woolen, and some ideas must have been conveyed to the shorts that the regular dividend would be de- clared. Mack Truck sold off when the regular dividend at the $6 rate was declared, as there were rumors in cir culation that the dividend would be increased to an $S basis. Disappointed selling caused a. decline of about $2 in Central Leather on prospects of new financing, which caused renewed sell ing. They; have over $22000.000 per cent bonds maturing next April. Corn Products published an excellent state ment for 1923, estimating the entire S16,- 000,Oo0 good will.
 Coppers continue to drag along, while the sugars have received a slight set back in consequence of a lower price for the raws.
 St. Paul issues were ih good demand. The final trend was the opposite of yes- terday's closing. ..

COTTON LETTERS.

NEW YORK, March 4.-Postponemen of the arbitration of the labor trou- bies in, Manchester to the. latter part of the week brought very heavy realiz- ing this morning. This cotton was well absorbed, with the tendency on the part of the trade, especially the mills. to pick up little cotton on the idea that the liquidation was over and that we would be entitled to some recovery in the not-distant future. The market has all the signs of having been we'll liquidated; and, as Is the case at the top of an advance as well as at the bottom, we can expect the market to back and fill for few days while 1t srecovers its equilibrium. It is cloudy and raining in parts of Texas, and If .this develops into another period of wet weather preparations for the new crop In southwestern Texas will be seri- ously delayed.
 Liverpool futures are due tomorrow: May, 16.37d. and July, 1608d.--Hubbard Bros. & Co.
 NEW YORK, March 4.-The. market showed continued firmness during the early afternoon with. May selling up to .2S.70c, or 75 points from the low level of the morning, and 35 points net higher.
 The relative strength of March in New Orleans yesterday, which was 60 points over March in New Work, is attributed to the small inspected stock there and to the fact Nthat a prominent New York southwestern spot firm, long of March in the New Orleans market, has sold a good deal of cotton for March shipment and may demand ten ders on March acnntractp. in sthe New York market. Reflecting ths9 strength of March in some measure. May In the New Orleans market, which not long our k..f May, closed yesterday practically even with May in the market here. The New Orleans inspected. stock is now 1S,000 bales. The market here was quiet around 2.30 at reactions of 10 or 12 points under realizing. A telegram from York, s. C., said: Good export inquiry, small mill in market for quick, Farmers offering nothing. ."-Post & Flagg to shannon & Co.
 NEW YORK, March 4.-The market today was featureless from a stand point of fresh news. There waS re- ported heavy spot demand, and Worth street advices said there was business pending under the market which might materialize if prices steadied themselves for a few days. a,
 The weather was not considered fa- Yorables and. private forecasts predict days yet. 3
 Sentiment here might be called a lit- tie less. pessimistic. Purchases on the sharp dips are still being advised. The short side is considered dangerous after the 10c break and the probability of a settlement of the German reparations. At the close, the ticker carried an item from Paris saying the Dawes commits sion of experts have formed a plan for organization and exploiting of Ger man railways as basis for an interna- tional loan.-Fenner & Beane to Kahn 6 Virgin, s-
