GoWdy: General, pardon a per sonal observation, but I've noticed time and time again that before you use a piece of silverware you wipe it on your napkin. If the silverware isn't properly polished, you should report if to the house committee"
 Gen. Baker: "Mr. Gowdy, it's a habit. A habit, MT. Gowdy. If you had eaten in officers mess as often as I have, you'd have that habit too."

ANTI-SALOON LEAGUES EFFICIENT METHODS

As everyone knows. the Anti
 Saloon Leaue has withstood attacks
 that would have been devastating if
 levelled against any ordinary lobby.
 The barrage of shell and gas turned
 upon 1t by the metropolitan papers
 has been consistent ever since pro-
 hibition became more or less Of a

 government appointees, wherever
 their degree of moisture was an
 issue, have been quite dry. Con- Sress has continued preponderating-

 The sole reason may not be be- cause the Anti Saloon League hap pens to be so active, but it is a fac tor. When it is a question of electing q dry congressman in the 3rd district Of Nebraska, or the first district of ldaho, or any other district, it is the league which is on the job early, usually before the vets know about the pending political fracus. If a wet congressman runs in a primary somewhere, the league knows about It as quick as telegraph wires inn part information, and some influen- tlal dry aspirant announces his next day. While the league is electing its man the New York World is writing few editori- als about it's impudence. It is the votes, and not the Worlds editorials. which decides the election out in the 
 The league leaders are Intense political realists.' A man may be d lusty drinker and yet receive the ardent support of the league if he votes dry-which must account for some of the personally wet, officially Try, congressman. He may be a, tee otaler and find himself savagelv at- .acked if he objects to prohibition. Ills attitude toward the tariff. the arm problem, campaign slush unds, or any other issue, doesn't in crest the league at all. It has only one test.
 These are conditions as they 'Xist If the business of running a obby in Washington under the guise 't Headquarters were illegal the eague officials could be jailed. But is legal and nobody is jailed. An Association Opposed to Prohibit lon' exists, but compared with the Nnti-Saloon League is like the standard Oil compared with a corner grocery.
 If the ti-prohibitionists want to 'ght the Anti Saloon League the 1 {1 I way to do 1t is not to make so much !, lolse in the papers, but to streneth- n themselves in the wide open paces, where the majority of con- ,ressmen come from. That may be | possible CT it may not be possible. i 'erhaps the dry czars have a not 1 hle advantage there.
 By the way, how many Connecti- , ut congressman are wet? And hou many vets in Connecticut-yoters 'ho talk and dream liouor-have 'oted for dry congressman The Sh'l-Saloon League may be well with it's work in Connectj- ut In spite of the prevailing renn- a'l"n of the state for anti-prohibi- | ion.

CAT SAVESFAM|LY
|NFLAM|NG HOUSE
White Angora, Recently
Given Away, Returns to
Rescue Couple.

Whitley. a cat that came back, claWed
and mewed his way into the annals
of animal heroism early today, arous-
ing his master and mistress. Mr.. and
Mrs. George F. Baxter, 2047 Twenty
fifth street southeast, just in time to
enable them to leap through their bed
room window from a fiame-filled
house.
Had it not been for the cat, a
great white Angora, the family might
have perished in the fire. FLAMES
had already burst through the door
of their room on the first floor When
the frantic scratching of the cat woke
them up. The great cat had jumped
upon the bed and almost clawed the
covering to the floor in his efforts TO
awaken the sleeping couple.
Grab Up Rescuer.
Mr.. and Mrs. Baxter escaped in
their night clothes through the WIN
dow, sustaining slight injuries when
the sash fell on them. They had
grabbed up their mewing rescuer as
they fled The house was virtually
destroyed.
Yielding to the entreaties for
friend who had taken particular
fancy to Whitley, they gave him the
cat. which they had had since kitten
days. That was about a week ago.
But three days ago, as Mr.. and Mrs.
Baxter were at dinner. there came
a clawing at the door knob.
"In bet that Whitley has come
back" exclaimed Mrs. Baxter, and
she was right. The big white cat
was standing on his hind legs scratch
ing at the door.
Loss Is $4,000.
Nothing would induce either Mrs.
Baxter or Mr.. Baxter to part from
Whitley now, for they feel that the
CIT returned just in time to save their
lives.
He gets a gold collar and will live
off the cream of the land from now
on" declared his master this morning.
Like most genuine heroes, Whitley
was modest when it came to posing
for his picture. In fact, he didn't
seem to realize what 1t was all about
and had TO be coaxed from retirement
beneath a discarded bathtub in the
basement of the store of his masters
father, George F. Baxter, 2703 Good
Hope road, where the little family fled
at 2 o'clock this morning when their
home burned down.
The loss, which is only partially
covered by insurance, was estimated
to be $4,000. The house, two-story
frame dwelling, was almost destroyed,
by the time the firemen reached there.
Origin of the fire is undetermined.

BORAH WILL POLL
COMMITTEE VIEW
Seeks Sentiment on Right of
Foreign Relations Group
Meeting.

All members of the Senate foreign
relations committee will be consulted
by Chairman Borah as to the author
ity and wisdom of having the commit
tee function during the recess of Con
gress.
While some administration commit
teemen opposing any further inquiries
into the Mexican and Nicaraguan sit
uations have reluctantly come to the
conclusion that the committee has
the power, Senator Borah said yester-
day he was not certain that this was
the case.
Doubt About Power.
Some members of the committee
are IN grave doubt about the power
OF the committee to act" he said,
and some seem to think it has the
power. | shall, of course, do nothing
until l have consulted with the other
members. / will see those who are
here and communicate with those who
are absent / will have to be guided
by the views of a ma ajority.
"Of course, it is not a question of
mere naked power for the committee
to meet. but a question of propriety
and wisdom of it, on all of which, as
L have said, l shall want the judg
ment of the committee"
Question of Funds.
While some administration Sena-
tors hold to the view that a resolution
adopted by the Senate in 1921 author
izing the standing committee to act
until their successors have been ap-
pointed still is in force. the question
of whether funds could be obtained
for the conduct of hearings or inves-
legations remains in doubt.
The foreign relations committee
could obtain no money without the
approval of Chairman keyes of the
Senate audit committee. and he al
ready has refused to approve expen-
ditures by the Reed campaign funds
