TWO FEARFUL ACCIDENTS

Automobile accidents are becoming
alarmingly numerous, and the aw-
fulness of many of them, it seems,
would make drivers more careful ;
but is it having that effect? 1T APP
pears not.
At Porterwood near Parsons, last
Friday, an auto containing two men,
G. F. Waldeck and A. G. Hargett,
both of Thornton, in some way went
over a high embankment onto the
railroad, and were struck by a
freight train. The former was killed
and the latter died in the hospital
the following day.
On Saturday, near Thornton,
another accident occurred, in which
Mr.. and Mrs. Ara Clevenger, OF
Clarksburg, were very badly injured
Both Clevenger and his wife are in
the hospital at Clarksburg in dan
gerous condition.
The cars in these wrecks were
totally ruined it is said, one going
down bank rs feet high, and the
other so feet.
The Clevengers are former Bar
bour people, he being son of James
X. Clevenger of Simpson Greek.

LIVER TROUBLE
Louisiana Man Tells How He
Keeps up and Going"

1T doesn't matter how strong

Mr.. w. S. Reynolds, OF Arcadia,
La, every once in while, in

little something for the liver.

certainly recommend it."
Black-Draught liver medicine is
made from pure, medicinal roots
and herbs and contains no harmful,
habit-forming mineral drugs. In
an easy, natural way it helps
cleanse the system of poisonous
impurities and tends to leave the
organs in normal, healthy con-

The Departmental Force.

According to figures just compiled
the Government employees Of the Dis
trict of Columbia at present total
66,224. This is a reduction of 51,536
since the armistice in 1918. The re-
duction is greater than has been real
lied. About two years ago it was esti-
mated that the permanent force of
the Government service would not fall
much below $4,000 when all postwar
reductions were effected. It has, ii
would seem, gone to nearly 10000 be-
low that point, and reductions are
still continuing.
These figures indicate that at the
time of the armistice there were under
the civil service in Washington H.
760 persons. Others not under civil
service rules. but in the Government
service, probably brought the total
number to 100, ,0O9 There has there
fore been reduction of nearly one
half Of all those working for the Gov
ernment. not in military services, at
the Capital when the war closed.
Before the war the permanent de
partmental force here in Washington
was about $4,000. There has thus been
a net increase in the departmental
population within 10 years of approx
mately 10000.
The violent fluctuation OF the Gov
ernment force has caused a considera-
ble dislocation in local conditions.
When the war started great numbers
of people were added to the civil es-
tablishment, coming here from all
parts of the United States. The in
crease was about $4,000. or more than
200 per cent. To accommodate these
newcomers put a severe strain upon
Washington facilities. In the later
shrinkage it was necessary to read
Just. The shrinkage, however, did not
come as rapidly as the increase. That
is one of the reasons for the unsettle-
ment of housing conditions at the
Capital. With all the reductions, the
number of persons accommodated
with living quarters in this city who
are engaged in Government work is
nearly double that before the war.

a desire to establish a. national botanic
garden which would be comparable
with extensive botanic gardens in
America and with government gar
dens in Europe. A body of men emil
nent in the natural sciences and in
which the science of botany and it's
sub-science dendroIogy were repre-
sented by famous men was chosen to
make a report on these matters. The
commission examined many sections
OF the District and decided that the
large tract of country between the
Washington Baltimore road and the
Eastern Branch was the best adapted
That section of woodland and farms
has been generally called the Mount
Hamilton tract, because the wooded
and rounded hill bearing the name
Mount Hamilton rising east of the
road and opposite Mount Olivet Gem
etery is the most conspicuous feature
OF the landscape. At various times
this tract has been recommended by
scientific and civic bodies as the best
site for an arboretum and a national
botanic garden, and its advantages
have been set forth.
