Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

May 16, 1S62.-There are now at the
Soldiers Hest" in this city a number
Of Confederate prisoners captured at
the Battle of Williamsburg, Va. Among
them are the following AlexandrianS {:
J. F. Simmons, Charles H. Murray,
George Craven, George w. Snyder, John
Donnelly, John Paine and E. A. Walker.
There are also two from LeeSburg, j.
w. Wallace and Lafayette Parker, and
w. H. Painter from Warren County.
They report the following from Alex
andria killed or wounded: Clinton
Ballenger, Andrew F. Skidmore, James
Grimes and Thomas Padgett, killed;
Patrick Lanahan, reported killed; Corp.
Barber, Segel Pitts, Joseph Penn and
Henry Bradley, wounded.
These prisoners say that the 18th
Virginia Regiment was in the thickest
Of the fighting at Williamsburg and
must have lost terribly in killed and
wounded.
Gen. Sickles was today ordered to re-
sumo command of the Excelsior Brigade
and he will Immediately proceed to join
the Army Of the Potomac for that pur-
pose. He spent last evening here with
the members Of the brigade, who, hav-
ing been made prisoners at the Battle
Of Williamsburg, were paroled and ar
rived here a day or two ago. At their
request he endeavored today to induce
the War Department to make an ar
rangement for their exchange, in order
that they may promptly join their sew
eral commands.
According to a dispatch received in
this city today, Gen. Mcclellan made
the following address to the Union SOL
diers after the Battle Of Williamsburg:
MY lads: I have come to thank
you for your gallant conduct. BY your
bravery and steady discipline you saved
the day. You have gained honor for
the Army, for yourselves and for the
States which are proud to own you as
their sons. You shall have Williams
burg emblazoned on your banners. You
have stood by me faithfully. Continue
to do so and your grateful country will
never forget you"
It IS understood that quite number
OF writs have been issued here ,1lder
the fugitive slave law, at the instance of
slave holders from MARYLAND, whose
slaves have escaped to this city.

AS a result efforts to communicate in
formation are almost as difficult as
though the various persons concerned
were employing different languages:
Uniform description and nomencla-
ture will eliminate this.
But Rear Admiral Hicks says there
is an even greater need than this. He
believes that the catalogue will fill
vital need of the Nation in case OF war.
He referred to the Navy in illustra-
ton. Since 1915 the Navy has had a
standard stock catalogue. During the
war navy vessels and bases in Europe
were able to make known their needs
and obtain them with certainty while
operating 5000 miles from the sources
of supply.
The same conditions should prevail
in every other branch of the Govern
ment. This catalogue. in time of war,
would acquaint industry with the Coy.
ernment's needs and industry would
be prepared to meet them with the
least delay and confusion.

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Mrs. S. writes: "I read all your ar
ticles which certainly must do a world
of good to all young mothers. So far
I have not seen an answer to my
questions. What causes a 1-year-old
child to sweat around the head, espe-
cially when eating? She has had cod
liver oil for six months, one quart of
milk and vegetables and cereals. She
is still on a bottle and it is necessary
for some one to sit and hold it while
she takes it. You would think she
could hold her own bottle. She sits
alone on the floor and so far has made
no effort to stand beside anything or
even creep. She is very good, takes
her last bottle at o'clock and sleeps
until Z the next morning. She weighed
S pounds at birth and now weighs 18.
us it necessary for a child to wear
a sleeveless band as well as shirt? I
always kept one on efter taking off the
navel binder, and when doctor came
to see my son who had whooping
cough, he told me it was not necessary
after the second month. My baby
seems to have gotten along better
without it than the other babies did
with one.
What words should a child of /
year be able to say?"
Answer.-The head sweating may
possibly be due to taking bottle CT
very warm milk, or to being rather
warmly dressed in q warm room taken
in conjunction with the warm milk
and the exertion of eating. You know
that when you feel chilly and begin
to eat you rapidly warm up. So does
baby.
But this child should be more active

No dident ma sed. When was

than she is at her age, so in spite of
the cod liver oil and the good diet, do
have her looked over for any possible
ricketts,.
I think the use of bands can be
purely matter of choice. They hold
the diaper in place neatly. If they
contain a small amount Of wool, and
thus make possible shirt with no
wool at all, this seems to me very
desirable thing except in the coolest
climates in Winter. Babies wear them,
babies go without them, and babies are
neither better nor worse because of
them. In Summer they can be the
sole garment Of the baby from six
weeks up with no shirt at all, ana the
bit of wool there Is in them Is a pro-
lection. For all such garments should
be only part wool and never all wool.
Make your own decision. Personally I
like them.
Gesell in Mental Growth of the
Pre-school Child" states that the child
of one year says two words besides
dada" and mamma" Just what those
two words are will depend upon what
words have been most stressed before
the baby, and Of course some babies will
have a more extensive vocabulary and
will say "bye-bye" or mana" or bow
wow" If these have been said re-
peatedly before him.

A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK
BY HERBERT C. PLUMMER.

It is surprising how many there are.
In some instances these little known
workers are to be found in places lar
off the beaten track. They start
job, work at it day by day, and often
finish it with only a few outside their
immediate Offices knowing anything
about 1t.
our latest find was just the other
day in the Navy Building. 1t was a
Federal board working under authorl-
cation from Congress, compiling a
Federal stock catalogue.
Investigation revealed that the board
was doing just what the name suggests.
There was being listed in orderly and
classified arrangement all supplies reg
ularly procured, sorted and issued by or
for the vraious branches of Government.
Also there was being furnished in the
case of each item the information nee
essary for procurement, storage and Is
sue.
In other words, the Government Is
doing pretty much the same thing that
mail order houses have done. 1t Is
taking inventory Of supplies 1t has on
hand, listing those that the various
branches require and simply telling
them where they can be obtained ana
at what cost.
Rear Admiral T. H. Hicks. chairman
of the board, gave us an idea as to the
magnitude of the task and the necessity
for such catalogue.
The Governments requirements in
the way of supplies cover very great
variety. This is reflected in the catalogue
by the segregation into 81 classes Tor

clashed on the floor nevertheless their
friendship never has been threatened.
It is not uncommon to see theM-eVen
after the most heated tilts-Stroll arm
in arm out of the House chamber down
the corridors of the Capitol.
So. at the opening of the special ses-
sion. after Longworth had defeated Gar
ner, 254 to 143, for the speakership and
the fiery Democrat had been chosen to
present the new Speaker to the House,
every member settled comfortably in his
seat.
They knew nice words were in the
offing.
Garner started by saying that it was
q distinct privilege as well as real
pleasure In this instance to present the
Speaker-elect of the Seventy-first Con,
gress. Then he became more informal
and personal.
at SO happens that we came to
washington as Representatives at the
same time. We have been associated
together on committees as well as in
the House for the past quarter OF a
century.
"He certainly has been one Of the
most impartial and fair presiding Of
ficers that has ever occupied this ex-
allied position. He Is beloved by the
afhliation.''
And then, as the House broke into
prolonged applause. Garner presented
ga great statesman, a real outstanding
American, Nicholas Longworth Of Ohio.
After bow and warm handclasp
TO Garner it was Longworth's turn.
Turning to the House he said that he
had just been presented by man who
received the unanimous vote of his
party for Speaker, thereby carrying with
it as a necessary incident his elevation
to the leadership Of the Democratic
party in the House.
II congratulate you members seated
upon the east side of the aisle upon the
wisdom of your choice. The gentleman
from Texas and I entered Congress 26
years ago:
the estimation of his constituents, is
made clear by the fact that his service
has been continuous. Mine was inter-
rupted by a vacation Of two years, by
no means on my own motion"
The Speaker concluded his tribute by
saying that Senator Foraker of Ohio
once coined phrase exemplifying the
activities and future of his party. II
was: Vim, vigor, victory" Then turn
ing to the Democratic side he said:
Under the leadership of the gentle
man from Texas I formally guarantee
to you the first two"

BEAUTY CHATS
Farm Woman's Problem.

have always q certain number OF
letters from farmers wives, usually
women who do not get into town often,
who want cosmetics that can be made
at home, or a diet that fits in with the
rather heavy and highly nourishing
foods Of the farmhouse table. and
treatments that can be managed In a
life full of hard work.
The farm woman has a special sort
Of problem, when she considers diet and
beauty treatments, but she has many
advantages, too, over the woman who
lives in town. She may work hard,
but, except when there is illness or
overstrain, work is exercise and hurts
nobody. When it comes to diet, she
has all the advantages. for while the
farm table is usually rich in potatoes,
meat, butter and cream, and while
there Is usually a lot of baking, rich
cakes and buildings and such, in the
farm kitchen-still, the farmers wife
can grow all the mountaineering, green
vegetables she needs and they cost
nothing. She can plant as large a
lettuce bed as she likes and live on
salads. She has all the fruit she can
eat, and can put up fruit and vegetables
for Winter-time diet.
I've often said that diet of 1900
calories a day is a good standard re-
duction diet. If the farmers wife works
hard, she can reduce on 1900; even
LOO, If she works very hard. The
reduction diet should be 1000 less than
a normal maintenance diet. AS eggs
are 80 calories each, as skim milk or
buttermilk is easily obtainable and 80
Galleries a glass, as potatoes, butter,
bread, buildings, cakes, can be eliminat-
ed altogether, and salads and fruit sub
stituted, the farmers wife should have
no trouble keeping down to this caloric
amount. Meat one day! Even the
Woodworking women can get along on
that. An average helping of meat is
800 calories, often more. Egg dishes
can be substituted, and fish when pos
sible.
T. J. F.-A severe case of dandruff
would not leave much hair if it contin-
ued for long. Try the tonic for a few

There are times when no general tonic

New Hats Which Are Flattering
BY MARY MARSHALL.

Reboux, who ranks among the f1ve or
six most influential of French millinerS.
They were similar to hats that have just
been made in Paris for an ever-increas-
ing number of we'll dressed French and
American women who are asking for
hats that are definitely f1attering-
women who accept the severely simple
hat of felt or straw to wear with sports
or tailored street things-but who want
something more alluring for wear with
picturesque afternoon dresses.
One -brimmed little hat OF
black bangkok was raised at the back
to reveal a row of curls across the nape
Of the neck and there was row OF
small pink roses across the back just
above the curls. Almost every hat in
the collection showed trimming either
Of flowers or feathers.
There are, to be sure, two decided
disadvantages to this sort of hat-diS-
advantages from the point of view OF
the woman who wears them, not OF the
milliner They are of necessity more
expensive than the simpler sort of hat
and they are far less hardy. OF late
years we have become accustomed to
hats that will stand fairly hard usage,
hats that will go through dampness and
even light showers without murmur,
hats that are easily packed and that can
be replaced at not very great expense.
In the meantime for resort and coun-
try wear there are all sorts of prac-
tical hats of linen, pique or other fabric
to wear with cotton or linen sports
dresses.
This weeks circular gives the dia-
gram pattern for charming little poke
hat that can easily be made at home.
1t is designed for a young girl, but may
quite easily be altered to suit larger
or smaller head size If you would like

addressed envelope and will send you
