Plan Was Reported
 Washington, April 9 P>-The Hoover law enforcement comnlis- sions legislative program to strengthen dry law enforcement and relieve congestion in the federal courts was brought up today by the house judiciary committee with view to reaching a decision on it's approval or rejection.
 Several administration members were doubtful of the possibilities of reporting the program to the house for action at this session because of the opposition that has developed.
 Commissioner Plan Attacked
 The Wickersham measure to broaden the powers of United States commissioners by enabling them to hold juryless trials of casual offend CTS of the dry law has been attack ed by several members of the com mittee on constitutional grounds. The commission bill to authorize district attorneys to charge offend CTS with a felony if they failed to accept the ruling of the commission CTS on a misdemeanor charge also has met objection.
 A third bill recommended by the commission to authorize state off cers to seize automobiles transport ing liquor in violation of the federal law also has been assailed because of it's language which would author ize governors, state treasurers and other officials to make arrests Of this character under the national prohibition act.
 Only one of the commission's measures, introduced by Represen- tative Christopherson, republican South Dakota, has been approved by the committee. The bill would facilitate paddock proceedings by authorizing the serving of a sub poena through publication of own CTS of speakeasies, night clubs and other places selling intoxicating liquor illegally.
 Today Set Aside
 Chairman Graham of the commit tee set today aside for the specific purpose of taking action on the commission bills, although it was considered doubtful whether con- sideration would be completed be- fore Thursday Representative Schafer, republi- can. Wisconsin, prepared a state ment for the committee urging a favorable report on one of the reso- lutions before the group calling for repeal and modification of the eighteenth amendment. He charged that after ten years of prohibition we find drunkenness rampant throughout the country" and that it had "created an incorporate nation instead of bringing about sobriety as we were promised"
 The committee plans to hear the wet forces rebuttal testimony on the measures to repeal the eighteenth amendment week from Thursday before it considers taking action on them. The vets on the committee. consider it doubtful if any favorable action can be obtained this session,

M DONALD A. CRAIG.

August %, 1794.-Gustavus Scott OF
Maryland was officially appointed Is one
OF the members of the Board Of District
Of Columbia Commissioners today by
President washington. It is understood
that DR.. william Thornton, author OF
the accepted plan for the Capitol, viii
also soon be appointed.
Commissioners johnson and Stuart
have for some time desired to be re-
lieved Of their duties In this regard ana
have asked President washington to
name their successors as soon as posi-
bic.
II was anticipated that President
washington might ind difhculty In
locating men for these places who were
not too closely connected with District
AFFAIRS. The selection Of Mr.. Scott and
the anticipated selection OF DR.. Zsorn-
ton are believed TO avoid this dimcuity.
Nevertheless, in the case Of Mr.. Scott
the President has continued the policy
of selecting g. Commissioners OF the
Federal District men who are familiar
with the locality. Mr.. Scott Is . native
Of Prince william County, Va, which
adioins on the west and south Fairfax
County Of which the City Of Alexandria
has been the county seat, although 1t Is
now included in the Federal District.
Mr.. SCOTS father, who was an Epis-
copal minister, came from Scotland and
settled In that part Of Virginia In 1850.
Mr.. SCOTS birthplace, where he con-
tinues to have property interests, Ii
therefore quite near the city that he
has been chosen to help govern.
The new Commissioner was educated
at Aberdeen, Scotland. Returning to
Virginia, he began his career in that
State as q lawyer. Subsequently he
moved to Maryland, where he became
identified with the American cause
when the Revolutionary War and the
events leading up to it doomed on the
horizon. He served on the public COM
mittees Of the Revolutionary period and
was q member Of the convention that
framed the Constitution Of the State OF
Maryland in lT7e.
Mr.. Scott, the new District Commits
sioner, served In the Continental Con-
gress 40 q delegate from Maryland in
l7S4. He was one Of the organizers Of
the Potomac Canal Co., Of which Gen.
Washington was president.
At the present time Mr.. Scott ts living
In Baltimore.

Even the great Julius Caesar had his
hour Of dark suspicion and jealousy.
Out Of II came that historic saying
which Is variously quoted: 1.-THE wife
Of Caesar must be above suspicion"
Powerful. influential and talented as
he was--he was the FIRST general, states
man and, excepting Cicero, orator Of his
times Caesar did not escape the fate
Of so many husbands. His third wife,
Pompeia, daughter of Quintus Pompeius
Rufus, was In love with another man ct
the time Of her marriage. He was Pub
Illus Claudius, famous for his prohigacy
and his bitter enmity toward Cicero.
Caesar, learning Of this attachment,
angrily set both himself and his moth
er, Aurelia, to keep close watch on
Pompeia. The result was that she
found IL impossible to arrange meet
ing with Claudius.
An idea came 10 her. During the
celebrations of the festival Of Venus no
men were allowed In Roman houses.
Even male animals were driven out and
the pictures and statues Of men were
yelled. Pompeia's plan was that
Claudius, young. handsome and beard
less, should visit her during the fes-
tival, disguised In woman's attire.
Unfortunately, one Of Aurelia's worn-

POSTPONED FOR AN INvALIDs TABLE.

"A folding card table can be put to
many uses in home other than that
for which it was originally intended.
It Is piece Of tuck-away furniture of
the kind so usual that 1t Is sometimes
omitted from this classification, Just as
q camp stool, and camp chairs are also.
The interest in the article on the many
uses to which camp stool can be put
suggests that q similar treatment Of the
card table would prove helpful. The
adaptability OF the latter, while not so
wide, makes 1t among the conveniences
20 desirable to have that 1t becomes
almost o household necessity.
As styles and prices vary to suit all
purses, cost is not q consideration. The
one essential Is that the legs Of the
table work independently, or at least
that but two are simultaneously ad-
Ju-table. The type in which all legs
open out or fold back when one leg is
positioned does not lend itself to mani
fold purposes, although its readiness in
adjusting Is excellent when the table
Is used solely as O table.
A handy invalid's table can be made
from q folding card table. Open two
legs on one side, slide the top over the
bed and rest the unsupported end on
pillow, so that the top Is level and firm.
Every sick person who has eaten from
tray resting insecurity on covers or o
pillow over the legs Will oengnC IN the
card-invalid's table. It leaves the per-
sons legs free beneath; it is spacious
and adequate; 1t Is SO easily adjusted
that The attendant, who may be busy
mother or daughter, finds no extra work
accrues. A convalescent who wants TO
read books heavy to handle or papers
that are awkward, who enjoys soii-
taire. who Is able to write an occa-
sional letter or do bit Of fancy work
will find this improvised invalid's table
o blessing. The healthy woman who
enjoys having breakfast in bed or read
ing at night after retiring will also
find this table arrangement most con-
venient at times.
A folding table adjusted as described,
with but two legs on one side opened
out, makes O. good reading desk or

that 1t would be Q wonderful thing TO

"Puddler Jim" and Jimmie from

appealed TO them. It would be rather
nice, they reasoned. for two such good
friends to serve In such high position

So they set out--one for Pennsylvania
the other for West Virginia. Thus far
there has been no hitch In their plars,
