Washington Letter
BY HERBERT c. PLUA1MER

WASHINGTON, July 8-For SO a month you can
have a Washington mailing address.
In one of the out of way office buildings here may
be found a man who is making big money with this
idea. He makes a regular business of providing
Washington mailing addresses for people or COM
panies that are located elsewhere.
Often his clients send him huge packages Of let
ters by parcel post. He remails them here 50 that
they will bear a Washington postmark.
People who are selling something by mail or solic-
iting subscriptions think it helps to have their letters
bear a postmark of the national capital. At the pres
ent this man is handling the mail Of some so people.
His charge is $40 a month.
All Of which, according to postal authorities, is
strictly legal.
CHEW GUM
The associate professor Of English at George
Washington university has been chosen to teach the
ways Of Americans to a 1O-year old Siamese prince.
The prince is a nephew of the king of Siam. He
was sent to Washington in charge Of the Siamese
minister to this country to learn to speak English.
The minister turned him over to Mr.. and Mrs. Rob-
ert w. Bolwell.
Prof. Bolwell says the young prince is acquiring
American ways rapidly. The other day he was in
vited to a birthday party to be given for another little
Siamese boy. Six or eight Of his fellow countrymen
were present.

purchase. After the party has was asked what he
bought.
Chew gum" replied the prince. whole dollar
worth. Boys all like"
Subsequent inquiry revealed that 80 packages Of
gum had been bought. at the bargain rate Of three
for a dime, and that the guests had chewed gum all
the afternoon.
Chew gum is the best thing in America" explain
ed the prince when he was asked why he chose such
a gift.
He also said the other boys concurred in his opin-
ion. They were especially fond Of it because they had
never seen or heard Of chewing gum in Siam.

What Sugar VIII Cost a Consumer

A noted expert authority for an American con-
irolled refinery in Cuba has warned the American
public that the house differential on refined sugar
would cost American consumers between $3.50, 900 900
and $685., 000,00 annually. If this should happen
there will be a nationwide organization of American
housewives who will make trouble for the practical
politician. They have the allot now. They buy the
household supplies and they know when they are
pinched in the pocketbook.

The Once Over
RADIOS AND COWS
BY Fl. Z. PHILLIPS

Dairy COWS like radio programs. There is nothing
better than a good rousing ginger ale, baking soda,
automobile, canned soup or salad oil hour to make
them contented. Western dairymen have been exper-
imenting with radios in the cowsheds and they re-
port that the bovines seem happy, calm and more eff
ficient when being sprayed with tenor solos, jazz mel
odies, bedtime stories. ct cetera.
The COWS no longer have to be driven home by a
shepherd dog. They come in when they hear "Heigh-
no. Everybody, Heigh-ho!" you Wouldn't Fool Me,
Would You?T or Button Up Your Overcoat."
If the milk doesn't taste right these days, don't
blame the COW it may be static.
Extensive tests are now being conducted from
coast to coast by nearly every farmer with one or
more COWS. Tune in on your fayorite station and
get more milkl" is becoming a broadcasting slogan.
You're the Cream in My Coffee has produced the
best results to date, according to returns from Is
states, with 1877 cowbarns missing.
There is only one number the dairy farmers won't
allow played to the COWS under any circumstances
That's Hold Everything"
Elmer Twitchell is among those experimenting.
He is always trying new stunts with his radio set,
and when he read about this he Immediately went
out and bought himself q COW. He says the radio has
worked wonders with her. THE COW" says Elmer,
has taste. She likes classical stuff. 1 got three
quarts more milk than her schedule calls for the other

Fart, too.
She don't mind NANNY songs and will even
listen contentedly to beauty talks, Rotary club
speeches and the baseball scores, but she rebels at
radio setting up exercises, international Kiwanis mes
sages, the stock market prices and talks on dog
breeding.
"Toscanini is one of her favorites and she will
come ~galloping out Of a brook any time to hear some
thing by Tschaikowsky. The only time I ever knew
her tn rebel at anv radio number VIZ NIGHT before
last, when a quartet sang The Old Oaken Bucket
She's a good COW and gives honest milk"
Mr.. Twitchel is thinking Of swapping the COW for
a bull. He wants to determine how it will react to the
Tcreador song.

WOULD you like to take a
lesson in weaving. III 80,
here is your opportunity to
weave a simple paper pattern
and solve a fascinating puzzle at
the same time.
Perhaps you have at some time
or another tried your hand at
weaving. A great man. girls
and boys. and older folks, too,
find this work very interesting.
During their earliest school days
they learned this art, especially
that of basket weaving and have
produced many beautiful objects.
This puzzle, when solved, how
ever, viii not give you q basket,
but a simple, woven pattern in
paper on which Is printed one Of
the most familiar Of all the
Mother Goose rhymes. So get
out your scissors and proceed as
follows:
First cut the large check
erboard rectangle at the right.
Next cut il into halves. which will
give you eleven rows of letters in
each half. Then cut each Of the
halves into eleven strips, bearing
the letters which read from left
to right. BE sure to keep the
strips Of letters in their correct
order. Yon can do this by num-
bering the rows before cutting
the rectangle into strips.
Now you are ready to weave
your pattern and spell out the
Mother Goose rhyme. This Is
done by the very simple process
OF weaving the strips under and
over one another just as children
are taught to do in the kinder
garten grades when they are
weaving skets.
When your pattern Is correct
ly woven you viii have the COM
plete Mother Goose rhyme.

Washington, Feb. 7s R-Anxious to complete the selection of his cab met, President Elect Hoover con- ferred over the breakfast table to- day with William J. Donovan. as- sistant to the attorney general who is now prominently mentioned for the post of secretary Of war.
 After the conference, Donovan, who took a leading part in the Hoover campaign. declined to dis cuss the trend of his conversation with MT. Hoover. After the election. speculation as to Donovan's status placed him in the attorney general ship. Now, however. the names or William D. Mitchell. of Minnesota solicitor general of the United States, has taken a leading place in the speculation over that post. Pre- ,ious opinions of political cabinet makers have given Silas Strawn, ot Chicago, the best chance for it. Mir. Mitchell is listed as democrat. but he has had support from several strong republicans.
 There were only a few other call CTS at the Hoover home today. Sen ator Hastings and Senator-Elect Townsend, of Delaware. presented their respects. Senator Moses oi New Hampshire called to introduce a constituent Associate Justice Stone of the supreme court and Ralph Arnold, a republican leader of Los Angeles were other visitors
