Criticism In Paris.
BH United Press
PARIS, May 2.-Criticism arose
in certain Partisan quarters today
of Frances intention to hold her
most formidable demonstration OF
naval strength since the World
war.
Objections to the grand fleet
review and naval maneuvers of AL
geria and in the Occidental Medi-
terranean were based chiefly on the
possibility of Italian resentment.
It was felt that to stage such a
demonstration so soon after the
London naval parley and so near the
IT. ian coasts would arouse in Ital-
ians a feeling that France was at
tempting TO fiaunt her empire and
naval strength.
President CASTOR Doumergue left
Paris Thursday to review the COM
bined fleets.

-Bowser the Hound.

Flip the Terrier was so excited that
1t seemed to BowSer the Hound as If
Flip would turn himself inside out.
You see, Flip was having q new expe-
rience. He had found over in the
Green Forest queer fellow. Anyway,
it was a queer fellow to Flip. Bowser
the Hound saw nothing queer. He
merely saw an old acquaintance. You
see, that queer fellow really was Prickly
Perky the Porcupine.
However, Flip had never seen him be-
fore and hadn't even heard of him.
He never had seen any one at all like
Prickly Perky. You see, there is no
one else who Is at all like Prickly
Perky. Just now Prickly Perky had his
head under log. The thousand little
spears, which you know are called quilts,
were standing out in all directions. Flip
thought these quilts were simply stiff
hairs. He thought them very funny
hairs, but hairs just the same. Flip
also thought that because Prickly Porky
had his head under a log, he thought
himself hidden.
Now, Flip was getting drawer and
Drawer He could see no reason why
he shouldn't jump right on the back
of Prickly Porky and seize him by the
back of his neck. Flip is very cour-
ageous little dog. With Bowser look
ing on, he wanted to show how very
brave he was. He wanted to show that
he wasn't afraid, even if Prickly Perky
was such a big fellow. He ran back
and forth from side to side, barking
at Prickly Perky, but keeping a short
distance from him AS Prickly Perky
did not move, Flip gradually drew
nearer. His courage was growing every
instant. Bowser stood watching him.
Flip didn't notice how closely Bowser
was watching him.
At last Flip made up his mind to at
tack Prickly Porky. His bark changed
to a Snarl, and he started a rush at
Prickly Porky. Something happened!
Something hit Flip so hard that 1t
knocked him right over on his back
at some little distance away. 1t was
so unexpected that it frightened Flip
more than it hurt him and he yelped
right out. That something that had
hit him was Bowser the Hound. When
Flip discovered this, he lost his tenn

by that?" he snarled.

cellar warm and wet in Winter. Wet
down the floor Of the cellar twice
day. Keep the coal wet and the cellar
floor damp. We were warned against
damp cellars in the old days, but these
were damp, cold cellars. What we
plead for today is warm, moist cellar
with more heating comfort, less ex-
penditure for fuel less dust in the
house.
Another pertinent observation DR..
Goler made in this same radio talk was
thiS-and I commend it particularly to
the attention of the people who would
question the soundness of some teach
ings of mine about the same subject:
THE evaporation of about a quarter
of barrel of water daily is required to
furnish SUFFICIENT moisture for the air
of a modern six-room house in zero
weather If the indoor temperature Is
maintained at 10 degrees F"
A quarter Of a barrel is perhaps nine
gallons. That is necessary for six
room dwelling In actual practice I
have found that the quantity of water
DR.. Goler mentions is, If anything, not
quite enough to evaporate daily, to keep
the air in ideal condition, in very cold
WeaILleT. i nc IltIlc IIOt-WdOSE pdlA Al
furnace is not worth the trouble of
filling. The attempt to evaporate water
from open vessels is futile.
DR.. Goler's method, wetting down the
cellar floor twice day, would be a
good one If the cellar were warm
enough. If the cellar is cold, water will
not evaporate rapidly enough. There
are excellent automatic systems on the
market, which are built in and require
no attention afterward. Every one
building a home should plan to have
such a system Of air-conditioning in 1t.
The thing will pay for itself. When
such humidifying equipment is not
available, the next best thing, believe,
is the use of suitable reservoirs on radi-
ators or registers or even on the stove,
or cloth like Turkish toweling suspended
over and dripping into the water. Such
humidifiers do evaporate large guam
tity of water, but, OF course, they must
be refllled once or twice day, from
bucket with a convenient spout.
The ideal atmosphere indoors in very
cold weather is q temperate one, as
nearly like a perfect Autumn day out
doors as we can make it. The tenn
perature is from 64 to So degrees F.,
and the humidity 35 to 40 per cent.
When you heat the air above SO de-
greeS it becomes increasingly difhcult
to maintain anything like fair humid
ity. But any one may determine from
actual experience that an indoor tenn
perature Of 81 degrees F. with falr
humidity Say IS per cent? is more com
Portable than temperature OF II de-
grees F. with humidity of only IS or
20 per cent.

SUB ROSA
A Dead Old LADY,

| Ever since Darwin started the idea
that we folks were evolved from the
| earth, the scientists have been digging
| in the ground. They want to open
Adams grave or find the missing link.
| Up to date they have found an ape
man, a Java man and a few other
| specimens.
But the news of the day is to the
effect that they have found the re-
mains of q human being who lived a
million years ago. Not only that, which
would be enough of sensation, but
! the skull seems to be that of a woman.
| She is some old lady who fourished
those thousands and thousands Of
| years ago.
This, believe, is the first time on
record when the evolutionary sample
| has been of the feminine gender. All
the rest of the fossils have been men.
If her prehistoric husband was buried
by her side in the immemorial past
! there's no trace of him now.
But we can't get much of kick out
of the idea that woman put in an
appearance so long ago, for If there
| is anything woman desires 1t is to
be lp-to-d date and clothed In the latest
fashions.
The real evolution of woman is a
matter of recent memory. In our very
century she dCQuIcQ IklC Ud4AOCb ACpb
her old job, bobbed her hair in the
nouveau manner and evolved from the
Rainy Daisy to the girl-woman Of the
short skirt. What happened to her in
the million years before that didn't
count.
The evolved woman of our day is
the real woman whose advent wasn't
even thought of in the dim and distant
past. During the past eras most of
the evolving was done by man, who
came out of the cave, washed and
dressed and shaved and began to de-
velop civilization and organized base
ball.
All this time woman was hanging
back, waiting for her chance to do
little evolving on her own account.
But once she started, as she did in the
second Roosevelt administration, there
was no stopping her. She caught up
with man and now threatens to pass
him in the race.
But well make a mistake II we
imagine that woman was ever supposed
to evolve into a different sort of crea-
ture. She was meant to be woman
from the beginning to the end of the
chapter. If we think she Is to evolve
into a man we don't dope evolution
down in the right way.
With all that has taken place in her
life, woman is the same creature as
the lady who went to sleep million
years ago-the Eternally Feminine.

the one room in a small apartment that
can express the personalities, the Spe-
cial preferences and tendencies Of the

can have such individuality. The Selec-
ton of the living room furniture is,
| therefore, one to. which most attention
should be given.
If some one is a musician, plano

If, however, person has literary bent
bookcases would be imperative, and a
piano a luxury. If couple are very
hospitable or If they are in a city not
far from one of the families SO that en-

1t may be added that such a piece of
furniture is desirable in any event, but
as indicated it would be a necessity in
the first instance. 1t may be that a
handsome sofa is chosen instead, in
which case, it should be long enough for
person to lie down on comfortably.
Assuming a sofa or its substitute Is
one needed article, others would be a

large rug or several scattered rugs, and

living room would be insufticiently fur
nished that did not include the things

Washington History
By DONALD A. CRAIG.

March %, 1S55.-The Washington
HighIanders, one of the city'S militia
ORGANIZATIONS, met this evening and
elected John Watt as its first lieutenant.
Mr.. Watt is well known to the people
of Washington as the genial superin-
tendent of the grounds around the
Presidents Mansion. He is q High
lander from Scotland, but is always
ready and willing to answer the sum-
mons of his adopted country.
The unmanly practice of wife-beating
continues in Washington, despite the
strictness of the local police in making
arrests for this offense during the last
few months. Patrick MCGUIRE was ar
rested today for whipping his wife. He
was taken before Capt. Birch. who sent
him to jail in default of bail to keep
the peace.
1t will be recalled that Congress at
THE recent session voted a large sum of
money to carry forward work on the
Capitol extension. Among the items
was an appropriation for iron domes
for the new Senate and House cham
bers and new dome for the central
rotunda.
The work of making the iron castings
for the Senate dome has been awarded
to Messrs. Newsham & Co. of Balti-
more. Many of the castings have al
ready Deen competed at the 1OunQry
on Fremont street in that city. The
heavy castings for the framework of
the dome are as smooth as forged iron,
while the joints fit together as If they
were reduced to a square with file or
Slotting machine.
1t is intended to have the whole i'm
provement completed, If possible, before
the next session of Congress begins.
Cunning for skylarks in the District
of Columbia by small boys is a popular

one of the boys, the son Of Mrs. Hugh
Hughes of the First Ward, while gun
ming for skylarks, accidentally shot an
other boy, the son of Mrs. Barton Hack
ney. The load of shot entered the boys
abdomen and inflicted a very serious
would. 1t may be impossible to ex-
tract it.
Most persons here are wondering why
such accidents have not been more fire.

One mother says:
When Neva and Vivian started to
school Lucille felt left out of all the
pleasurable excitement and found life
rather dull, so decided to give her a
little special attention. AS most moth
ers know busy child is happy child,
so gave her little chores to occupy her
hands and mind. let her smooth the
beds as they were being made, set the
table, wipe the silver and help me in
whatever I was doing. Though it did
slow me up little in my work, felt
repaid by the happy little girl had be-
side me. When school clothes were
planned, Lucille, too, had some new
things. Colored crayons, cheap tablet
and gay new pencil made her feel
that she had some of the equipment of
her school-going sisters and were a
source Of great satisfaction to her.
