Reports of the Bureau of Efficiency
on the proposed merger of Washing

report of DR.. Milo r. Maltbie, the COM
nittee's expert, already on file, Chair
man Capper win make immediate ar
rangements for meeting of the merger
subcommittee as soon as he receives
the findings of the bureau.
Although the Maltbie report is not
to be made public until the Senate sub
committee meets, it has been indicated
that DR.. Maltbie made definite recon-
mendations for changes in the plan of
consolidation as it now stands.
The extent to which these changes
go will not be definitely known until the
report is given out, but the fact that
notifications have been recommended
is taken to mean that the subcommittee
will go into the provisions of the
merger agreement in detail before de-
Gliding what it will recommend to the
Senate.
1t is expected that after the first
meeting of the subcommittee there will
be lull in the proceedings to give in

The ballroom of L'Aiglon has
been tastefully arranged and decorated
with potted plants and palms. Long
rows of cages extend up and down the
room and around the sides and the
elaborate dressings of individual cages
Surpass those of any previous year.
Many mother of infants might receive
inspirations for nursery decorations by
a visit to the cat show. Three cages,
housing the entries of Mrs. Frank
Thompson of Washington, are richly
lined in heavy silk with numerous play
things scattered about to entertain and
amuse the kitties should they become
too bored with the show. Rattles, balls
and mirrors, are among the articles
seen in these gayly decorated cages.
A particularly conspicuous cage was
a vision of lovelinesS, hung and padded
with heavy lavendar satin, satin bro
caded cushion placed at one side in case
the feminine feline should become
fatigued with the long hours she will
be forced to keep.
Outside contributors to the Cat Show
come from Virginia. Maryland, Pennsyl-
vania New York, Massachusetts, Illinois
and Indiana.
Many prizes, including cups, trophies.
money and attractive articles, have
been donated by individuals and cat
clubs.
The Cat Show this year is probably
the largest held here for several years.

away No cat may be entered in the
show unless properly entered in the
catalogue, and this must be done at
least 10 days previous to the opening of
the show.

In continuing his address this morn
ing on the past years activities of the

sert its influence politically as has cor
porations, individuals or agencies.
The speaker also suggested that the
cause of prohibition can be served By
a revision Of the treaty with Canada tc
tighten border restrictions on contra
band liquors. DR. Wilson advocated Z
general educational campaign to enlist
the cooperation of the public in dry
law enforcement, and to circulate {
modern replica of the old-fashioned alb.
stainers pledge.
With Congress just opening its shor
session here, Dr. Wilson touched on th'
phrase to the effect that, IF Congress
men voted as they drink, we'd get ri;
of prohibition" This sentiment DR.

the expression of propagandists for we
interests.

late the price at which oil. other than
royalty oil, shall be sold by lessees of

The petitioner says it has con-
tract with the Cody Petroleum Co. of
Wyoming to buy oil at SO cents bar

barrels a day, and will be financially
affected if the department carries out
a threatened order to the Cody Co.

1t is alleged that the law does not
repose in the Secretary the right to fix

that in attempting to do so he is vio-
lating the contract rights of the petit
toner. Attorneys Palmer. Davis and
