OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
(From National Editorial Associatian)
Especial to Chronicle)

Especial to Chronicle)
Washington, February with 26
legislative days remaining before
the adjournment of the SiXty-ninth
Congress, the problems of the legis-
lative leaders become more acute.
1t appears that many measures
which are sent to conference as the
result of disagreements between the
Senate or House will bring about
marked congestion during the last
days of Congress. 1t is an old-time
political stunt to have one of these
legislative bodies pass a measure
which they know full well will be
rejected by the other, and the re-
sponsibility for failure is placed
upon four or six men designated as
conferees, whose duty is to smooth
out the differences. Today Wash
ington is crowded with prOpagan-
dists and lobbyists representing a
multitude of causes, all desirOus of
making some headway with their
projects before the hour of adjourn
ment.
From a political standpoint the
situation in China is not provoking
alarm. The movements of the Am
erican feet, and the safety of the
American citizens depends upon the
executive department, principally
the naval establishment. The Mexi-
can controversy is gradually sim
mering down as the result of the
resolution passed by the Senate last
week, recommending an arbitration
policy.
With reference to economy in gov
ernmental expenditures cropping up
in Congressional debate, the annual
report of the Public Printer sent to
Congress this week shows that they
have a fertile field for economical
practice in their own Offices. 1t is
an easy matter for legislator to
prescribe rules and regulations for
other people, but it is another mat
ter to be governed by them himself.
The Public Printer complains ell
ing wastebaskets Of nation" and
boldly declares Congress permits
the preparation and printing of mil
lions of pamphlets and books that
have little or nothing to do with the
proper functions of the Federal Gov
ernment. It is recommended that
Congress appropriate money for the
advertising of useful government
documents rather than for the wan
ton waste of taxpayers money for
advertising congressman and sena-
tors by an extravagant system of
free distribution. The idea is not
making much headway in Congress
sionaI circles. Government docu-
ments in 1926 increased more than
100000 copies over 1925 and an
overwhelming number were sent
out on free lists maintained by the
Department of Congress.

the jelly will line the mold. Now fill
with chopped and cooked ounces and
the apples. Cover with jelly and set
away to chill. Invert on a cold dish
and fill the center with sweetened
cream or pour 1t around the mold.
Garnish with Drowned almonds.
Grape Nectar.-To a quart of grape
juice add a pint of strip and the
juice of four oranges. Chill and when
serving add bottle of charged water.
Pineapple Drink.-Add pint of
prepared sirup (water and sugar

pineapple. Set on ice for three hours,
add bit of lemon juice, strain and

Grape juice prepared as a drink is
delightful with addition of bottle of

er one cupful each of sugar and water,
add one-half cupful of lemon juice,
cook few minutes and bottle. Keep
in the ice chest until it is ready for

ter of the tub, fastened either to the
clothes first in one direction and then
in the other. The corrugations of the
sides and bottom of the tub help to
cleanse the clothes partly by friction.
In the oscillating type of machine,
the tub itself rocks and tits back and
forth, tossing the clothes from one
end to the other, and the water moves
in curving path.
The vacuum-cup type Of machine is
a development of the funnel on a
stick device in vogue twenty or more
years ago. The soapy water Is forced
through the clothes by the pressure
and suction produced by the cups.
When buying an electric machine,

Consider the shape and size of the
machine in relation to the room, where
you expect to use it. Be sure it is
not too large. Choose a fiat top if
you are likely to want it for a working
surface between wash days. Buy a
machine of the right capacity for your
average washing, and of the right
height for you to operate. Find out
whether the manufacturers repair
service is easily available. Simple
construction is advisable. The frame
should be strong And rigid, but it
should be possible to roll the machine
about on casters. The mechanism and
gearing must be properly covered for
safety and cleanliness, and the motor
should be located where it will not
get wet Ask how often the machine
must be oiled and whether that can be
done easily. Any movable parts, such
as cylinder, should be light in
weight and easy to handle. The wa
ter outlet should be practical for easy
drainage See whether the wringer
can be used when the machine is wash
ing. Consider the possible advantages
of centrifugal drier.

Colorful Velveteen Jackets and
Skirts for Collegiate Wardrobe

black and green, the latter from light
to dark. Then there is the new print
ed velveteen, which makes up SO clev-
erly into the separate blouse.
Youthfulness, that so-much-to-be-de-
sired quality in schoolgirl clothes, is
Stamped all over the coed outfit in the
picture. 1t is really astonishing what
miracles a little velveteen jacket like
this one can perform in solving the
what to wear" problem of school-far-
ing young women.
Here are several ways to make one
velvet jacket do duty as part of many
ensembles. Suppose, for instance,
complete little suit consisting of jacket
and skirt of velveteen with a simple
little matching sweater-blouse of jer-
sey, plus lingerie blouse or two, con-
stitute the original purchase, and oh!
yes! do not forget to order separate
belt of the velveteen. Just think Of
the changes afforded in this initial in
vestment.
Next, in buying the one-piece cloth
dress which is inevitable in every
school outfit, choose wool crepe and
match or blend it's color to that of the
coat of ones velvet suit. Here is
where the velvet belt plays its part.
This cloth frock topped with the vel
vet jacket will achieve an ensemble
costume, as will be seen in the illus
tration.
To further the wearableness Of the
velveteen jacket pose it over two
piece knitted or jersey frock, the kind
that are ''all the rage" having a sweat
er blouse with skirt of same either
plated or gathered so as to attain the
fashionable full hemline. OF course
stitched matching velvet hat is final
touch of chic.

Down by one bank of river was
a row of weeping willow trees, and on
the opposite side stood a row of pop
lar trees.
One day the brownies thought they
would like to have breakfast party
lows.
"Yes," said one of the elves, when
the brownies were inviting them to
their breakfast party, II think it
would be fine idea.
"But somehow, we've always felt
sorry for those poplar trees standing
opposite.

"We'll each have breakfast party,
and then we'll tell our experiences.
"How about it, brownies?'
The next morning the brownies with
picnic baskets, and The elves with
their picnic baskets started off for
their breakfast parties.
They went in boats of pond lily
leaves down along the river until they
came to the weeping willows and the
poplars, and there they separated.
"Good-by," they shouted to each
other.
And soon they could be seen from
either side unpacking their baskets.
"Well," said the elves to the pop
lar trees, we've come to honor you! !"
And they made deep, low bows be-
fore the poplar trees.

Most women realize the convenience
of washing machine, especially if it
can be run by electricity, but they are
often puzzled when 1t comes to making
a selection from among the many diff
ferent makes. All of the makes on
the market can be classified into four
types, according to the principle on
which they operate. Selection be-
comes a matter of personal preference
for a particular operating principle.
Each type has its advantages. In all,
the washing is done by some device
that forces soapy water through the
clothes until they are clean.
The bureau of home economics of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture has permanent loan exhibit
of number of makes, differing within
each type only in detail of construc-
ton. A visit to this exhibit would be
a help in deciding which machine was
best for ones purpose.
The cylinder type of washer has a
perforated cylinder of metal or wood
in which the clothes are placed. This
revolves in an outer container holding
soap and water. The cylinder has
blunt projections on the inside, which
carry the clothes along as it revolves.
1t reverses it's direction automatically
from time to time. The water gushes
through the perforations and cleanses

Make Use of Hot Oven
for Scalloped Potatoes

When the oven is in use for other
cooking, take advantage of it to have
scalloped potatoes. While it is pos
sible to cook them in the oven from
start to finish, it takes less time, and
in gas oven, less fuel, if you par
boil them first. If the oven must be
hotter for something else than the
potatoes require, set the baking dish
in pan of water as you would in
making a custard. If the potatoes
cook too rapidly the milk will boil
over and not only be difficult to clean
from the oven, but will also make a
disagreeable odor all through the
house.
TIL bureau of home economics gives
the recipe below:
Scalloped Potatoes.
8 potatoes. medi- 2 tablespoonful
UNI size flour
/ pint milk 2 tablespoonfuls
4 to tablespoon chopped parsley
fuls butter
Wash and cook the potatoes in boil
ing sailed water until half done. Skin
the potatoes and cut them in cubes.
Grease baking dish or pan, place
in it a layer of the potatoes, sprinkle
them with some of the flour and dot
with the butter. Continue until all
the potatoes are used. Pour sufficient
milk to almost cover the potatoes.
Bake in slow oven until the potatoes
are brown on top and soft throughout.
If the potatoes become dry, add more
milk.

STATES IN WEST
 FACE AN ACUTE
 WILD FOWL CRISIS
CONTINUATION OF POISONING MILLIONS BIRDS THREATEN
 DIFFERENTIATION

NEW YORK, Jan. 21. (P)-Follow- ing a thorough investigation of the conditions affecting waterfowl of the Rocky Mountain and Pacific Coast regions covering several months, Dr. F. w. Nelson, chief of the Bureau of Biological Survey, made most il- luminating report at the National Game Conference held by the Ameri- can Game Protection Association in New York City.
 In word, Dr. Nelson's conclusions after this most comprehensive survey are that the entire waterfowl situa- tion in that region is deplorable and exceedingly acute. Conditions are becoming steadily worse and the need for constructive work to check the tremendous loss of birds is very urgent.
 During the past few years in ex- cess of ten million wild ducks and vast numbers of other wild fowl have died in the western states. Due to poisoning contracted in the restricted water areas at points of congestion in their line of migration.
 The wild duck supply of the west is largly dependent on these areas and if the sport of duck hunting Is to be saved on the western coast very prompt action must be taken. Otherwise waterfowl shooting in that region will be only a memory.
 The birds affected supply the shooting for eleven western states, consequently the problem is obvious ly a national one, as each state can not be expected to deal adequately with it, though each can do some thing. Utah has already made a beginning by building dykes and raising the water area in a consid- erable area.

 Several times this year intruders have entered the grand dukes villa during his nocturnal absences. On the latest occasion an intruder was frightened away by Boris mother-in- law at 3.3O a. m. It was sometime later before the grand duke and grand duchess returned from party in Paris.
 Boris is the brother of the Grand Duke Cyril, chief of those who would be King. They are cousins of the late Czar.
