OUT BY D. c.
WOMAN
Mrs. Hoes Volume on
Costumes Rouses
Much Interest

In terest in the little volume,
| 1.-THE Costumes of Mistresses Of
the White House." by Rose Cover
neur Hoes, which has just come
from the press, is especially keen
here in Washington, where Mrs.
Hoes has lived the major portion
of her life and where she plays a.
prominent. role in the cave
dweller" group of society
Herself the granddaughter of
President James Monroe, Mrs.
House and the women who have
been it's presiding genii has been
increased By q lifelong study of
the early history and manners of
our country. and it was she who
started the extremely valuable cos
tune collection in the National
Museum, a section of which is de-
voted to the gowns Of Mistresses
Of the White House. In the as.
sembling of this collection Mrs.
Hoes has had an important part,
aided for many years by the late
Mrs. Julian James, she has per-
sonally supervised the installation
Of most of the costumes and she
writes from a sure knowledge and
with facile pen.
Not the least interesting feature
of. the little album, in which one
comes face to face with the ladies'
of the White House from Martha
Washington to Florence King
Harding, is the series of plates
showing each of them in the gown
which has been contributed to the
collection, in most instances by one
of her descendants. Opposite each
is a sketch which tells something
OF the fashions thus reflected in
the formal dress Of the First Lady.
Of the Land, the materials used, the
manufacture thereof and the meth
cd of fashioning into garments,
with sidelights on the inspiration.
of many style features. The book,
therefore, IN addition to it's histori-
cal interest, has added value as a.
study of the fashions of 100 years
Mrs. Hoes has but recently re-
turned to her home in Washington
after spending several weeks at
Cape May, where her son, Law
renee Noes. was convaiescing after
an illness.

"A ing of the Congressional clans
in Washington until December, the
town has begun to take on its
n1id-season air and one is likely to
run into a Senator or a Congress
man around any corner.
The return Of the President is in
part responsible, for many Repub-
ncan stalwarts of the Senate and
House have been drifting into town
to confer with the party chief. The
imminence of the French debt
funding elaboration and the air
craft investigation now in progress

serving to draw our legislators to

of them are coming home In ORDER

they may scatter again once that

Senator George Wharton Pepper,
who has been in and out of Wash

The Senator was among President
Coolidge's callers yesterday.

Senator William M. Butler, Of
Massachusetts, who was here a
week or ten days ago, is coming
back today, this time accompanied
by Mrs. Butler. Presumably,
however, their visit will be Of short
duration. They are to stay at the
Willard-unless they are gathered
int the White House fold as has
happened several times before.
Senator William Z. Borah and
Senator Reed Sm0ot are certain to
be on hand as long as the debt
negotiations are pending; and Mrs.
Borah, who returned with the Sen
ator from the West, has settled
down at their home in Wyoming

is here. a member Of the aircraft
Investigation board. Senator Wal,

to discuss with President Coolidge
his plan for reorganization of
the government departments. but
has returned to New Jersey. And
presumably it viii be some time
before he and Mrs. Edge come to-
town for the winter, as the house
in Eighteenth street which they
purchased from Mr.. and Mrs. r. s.

NOCRISHING DOORS

Among the thousands OF suggestions sent to Brig.
Gen. Denhardt in charge of the work at Cave
City, Ky, this curious from a Washington
engineer:
While the work proceeded, the rescuers were to
enable starving Floyd Collins to hold out by spraying
the cave mouth with soup. The idea was that ''rch
soup vapor carried to the prisoner by the downdraf
in the cave would nourish him and sustain his life.
This need not be set down absolute foolishneSs.
Old mythoogy-which means old relgions-usually
represented the gods as being nourShed by the
Of food offerings reaching them from the earth This
idea seems have been at the bottom of altar sacr
fees Even the Hebrew Jehovah often represented
as smelling the burnt offerings of his worshppers and
being influenced accordingly.
There is usually some grain Of truth, at least, in
old ideas once widely accepted. 1t might be worth
trying, in the of person unable for any reason
to take nourishment through his mouth, to if he
could be nourished through the nostrs by the minute
" fine particles which affect the sense of smell. But
most of US healthy flesh-and-bood creatures so
gross and maeralistc that food vapors only make us
hungrier.

TAKING THOUGHT FOR FORESTS

Winter is the season of dangerous fires in cities.
Summer and autumn the seasons of forest fires.
The problem of forest fire prevention is great that
it is subject for thought and discussion all the year
around.
gathering looking to cooperation in forest fire
fighting has recently been held in Toronto, Ont, to
which officials and representatives of the Cana
dian National railways, the dominion government, the
local Ontario and Quebec governments the forest
departments of all of these and also of the state
of New York.
There We're discussed the most up-to-date methods
of fighting forest fires, including the small power
pumps and railway firetank and also the possi
blity of determining forest fire weather through the
meteorological bureau.
1t is a question of increasing interest to the whole
public. AS the forests Of the North American CONT
nent dwndle in extent, their Importance becomes more
evident and greater efforts taken protect them
LAUNDERING methods have been greatly improved. Re-
forestaton is being undertaking an overwhelming
scale. There is more efficient of materials form
erly wasted But all of these things fail of their pur
pose long the annual fire loss remains heavy
Campers, hunters and railway trains going
farther into the forests depths and wherever there is
the least careesness they carry the danger of fire 1t
is vastly important that everybody concerned should
cooperate in fire prevention work when opportunity
offers.

Many Are Paying
Income Taxes in
Full This Year

More full paid income tax returns
were filed in Southern California
during January and February than
for any similar period in the history
OF the internal revenue district, Col
!ector Rex B. Goodcell announced
Yesterday
IN past years from 10000 to
$4,000 taxpayers have met their in
come taxes ON the quarterly pay
ment plan but this year the number
of partially paid returns will be
reduced 10 Il minimum.
The amazingly large number of
full paid returns is 80 doubt attri-
butable to two causes. Collector
Goodcell said. The tax rate on
personal income has been reduced
one-half and "a further reduction of
2J per cent is allowed on earned in
come. such a reduction encourages
the taxpayer to pay his tax in full
and get il off his miad. Then. too,
there must be plenty of money in
circulation in Southern California.
\ man does not pay his income tax
in full when he is allowed 70 meet it
IN four quarterly payments unless
he has ready money on hand for
which he has no immediate use.
More than 100000 returns mast
be filed during the next - days.
Collector Goodcell urged taxpayers
to file at once before the rush be-
gins on March !.

Coolidge Plans a
Summer Absence
From Capital

WASHINGTON, Mar. Pres
ident Coolidge probably will estab-
lish Il 'summer. white house, first
at his fathers home and later at
Swampscott, Mass, it was learned
authoritatively today. His absence
from Washington probably will be
several weeks, necessitated by re-
pairs to be made on the mansion
during the summer.
Tho President altered his original
plan to remain in Washington this
summer, it was said when he found
that the white house was in such
dangerous condition it would be
necessary to repair not only the
roof but the wiring throughout.
Congress recently appropriated $50,
coo for this purpose.
Swampscott, Mass, is the scene
of Frank w. Stearns summer home.
In order to maintain close touch
with the executive business, Mr..
Coolidge will take staff of white
house clerks and stcnographers,

KEEPING THE HONE FIRES BURNING

In 1923, the people OF our country destroyed BY
fire S535 372,782 worth of property. This almost
believable loss is twice that Of 1913 and nearly
three times large the loss Of 1903.

tive chimneys and fiues which caused loss of 500

with S1G,110945 sparks roofs, with $15,93l ,342,
and electricity, with S14,09l 789.
If this aggregate fire loss in 1893 is to be any less,
ii must be accomplished by individual effort If the
loss continues to mount by 1888, this ALSO will have
been accomplished by individual effort, or it might
better be said, lack Of effort. Which way will the
