Things Hubby Might Do
Before Reproving Wife

Remove your umbrella and rubbers
from the front porch and place them
neatly in the closet. Wipe your feet
carefully on the door mat and enter
the hall. Look about carefully for
your belongings. Take your hammer
and screwdriver from the front hall
table and place them In the tool box
in the cellar. See that your walking
stick is in the closet and not in some
corner.
Next go to the desk and collect all
letters addressed to you that do not
require an answer and throw them
into the wastepaper basket. Put your
account book and check books in the
cubbyhole where they belong. Re-
move your pipe from the desk and
blow into a dark corner any ashes
that may have fallen from 1t. Search
diligently for all burnt matches and
clear them away.
Take the book that you were read
ing and left in the chair and place 1t
in the book rest. Remove your fur
mace gloves from the sofa and collect
any hats, gloves, mufflers or other
articles Of clothing that may be lying
about. See that your can Of smoking
tobacco is not on the mantelpiece but
on the smoking table where 1t be-
longs. Collect the travel circulars,
announcements from bond houses and
reports of corporations that you have
been meaning to read and the proxies
that you have been meaning to sign
for meetings that occurred several
months ago and conslgn them to the
waste basket. ISL .euth
Now 60 upstairs and Inspect your
quarters for soiled shirts and under
wear and socks left on the bathroom
floor or on the guest-room bed. Look
out of the window and make. sure
that no hoes. picks and other garden
ing tools or coal scuttles or brooms
have been left outside and assure
yourself that the keys are not In the
car or in your pocket, but hanging
on the little nail in the hall. '
When all Of these things have been
attended to with care you may now
safely criticize your wife for having
left her hat and coat on the hall
chair. That is, unless you have over
looked the pliers on the living room
floor where you were working on the
lamp cord.

Evolution Of "s,.,sroom,

Doctor Vlzetelly says that the evo.

"stateroom" was taken over from the
British navy. There Is a note In
Pepys' Diary which gives a clew to
this (April "A, 1900 every pleasant

SHRINE POTENTATE
PRAISES D. C. TEAM
Tells Toronto Delegates Ceremony
at Almas Temple Was
Inspiration.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

TORONTO, Ontario, June 11.-Almas
Temple, A. A. o. N. M. s. was con-
spicuous yesterday before the Shrine Of
North America, when Imperial Poten-
tate Leo v. Youngworth, in addressing
the delegates in his annual address
referred to his special visitation to
AlmaS Temple on April 8.
He said: 1t was my privilege to pay
an official visit to AlmaS Temple, where
1 enjoyed one of the most unique cere-
monial sessions Of the year. Through
the efforts of Potentate James c. Hoyle,
a degree team, composed Of past
grand masters Of the District Of Column
bia, conferred the work. It was beauti-
fully done, a real inspiration. I was ad-
vised that there were 81 past grand
masters of the District Of Columbia
present. As witnessed the wonderful
work Of these great cMasons was i'm
pressed with the desirability Of the
Shrine keeping in closer touch with
Masonic bodies, and believe that the
efforts Of Almas Temple are worthy Of
emulation and I suggest that all tenn
Piles pursue q like activity and thereby
secure the close cooperation of our
Masonic brethren in the work of the
Shrine. cannot commend this cere-
monial too highly. James c. Hoyle,
illustriouS potentate Of Almas, is bring
ing Masonry and the Shrine into closer
relationship and harmony and the I'M
perial Council Is indebted to him for his
vision and sane leadership"

ASKS FOR
HOOvER'S RETURN
Edison Holds President With.
out Blame in Most "Ineffi-
Gent" Government.
BY the Associated Press.

BY tne ASSoclAteu TTebS'
FORT MYERS, Fla, June H.
Thomas A. Edison told interviewers
here yesterday that he would urge
President Hoover to seek election for
a second term.
The aged inventor was buSily engaged
in packing in preparation for starting
to his home at West Orange, N. j..
today, but he paused to talk with his
visitors.
He said, "The United States Govern
ment Is the most inefficient big bus
mess organization in operation today
but he added he did not blame the
President. The vast size Of the bus
mess, he said, was responsible.
Asked concerning the soundnesS OF
big business mergers, he replied:
Mergers are sound up to the point
where the vast size Of the business
tends to announcement The Gov
eminent Is the worst-managed business
in the United States"
Turning to the recent big drop In
crude rubber prices, the inventor, who
is seeking a synthetic substitute for
rubber, said they are selling crude rub
Der below the cost of production. This
Is a poor thing for everybody. Labor
in the rubber countries gets only 80
cents a day.
Asked II he favored high wages for
labor, Mr.. Edison, who works IA hours
a day and enjoys it, said:
Certainly, why not give the laborer
a good wage as long as the business he
works for is making money.
Henry Ford's idea in that particular
case is right I agree with him there. "
The inventor said there are more than
700 varieties Of plants growing around
Fort Myer and he had tested all Of
them.
About 10 per cent Of the lot con-
tanned rubber, but golden rod is still
the best. 1t Is growing fine and making
more rubber every day, he added.

DRY LEAGUE ASKS
PAY BILL PASSAGE
City viii Suffer if Measure Is
Not Enacted, Shoemaker
States.

From the ONCE of the Anti-Saloon
League of the District OF Columbia,
Supt. Albert E. Shoemaker has issued
an appeal for passage Of the fire and
police pay bill, declaring that increased
pay for the city'S protectors would go
a long way toward improving law en-
forcement.
He declared that the public would
regard Chairman Simmons of the
House subcommittee on appropriations
as a "dutiful public servant" II he
would wait until the next session TO
remedy any wrongs In the bill and
permit 1t TO pass now without further
delay. II the bill fails now, Shoe
maker believed, Washington would
suffer. Simmons has blocked passage
of the bill
IT believe the Anti-Saloon League
Of the District of Columbia. while It
has taken no formal action on the
matter" said the statement, made
public today, naturally joins with all
good citizens In favoring prompt en-
actment of legislation granting ade-
quate pay to the policemen and fire.
men of the District The league is
interested in law enforcement and
satisfactory pay for the public'S pro-
tectors will go long way toward I'M
proving the morale of both policemen
ment In law enforcement.
With this in mind. 1 hope Repre-
sentative Robert G.. Simmons OF Ne
braSka will withdraw his opposition TO
the long-pending bill increasing the pay
Of District policemen and firemen, In
order that it may be enacted before
Congress adjourns.
1.-The public will regard Mr.. Simmons
as a dutiful public servant, II now,
% Hnta
in existing laws, he allows the pay bill
to be enacted. There will be time
enough at the next session Cf Congress
TO remedy any wrongs in existing law
and / am sure the various committees
OF Congress and the business and cit
izen associations OF the city vii CO.
operate at that time in perfecting such
legislation.
The defenders of the lives and prop
erty of the people should be fairly COM
penSated, we all agree, and that Is
why the citizens of Washington favor
this increased pay bill. And aside from
its other benefits. increased pay scales
will attract to the ranks of the two
departments better class of men.
The time for adjustment of Con-
gresS is nearing and If this bill fails
of enactment, the Nations Capital will
suffer. There has been a marked in
crease in morale in the police and fire
departments ever since Congress began
consideration of this bill. The men and
officers have realized that Congress is
as interested in perfecting the govern
ment of our city as are It's citizens.
And the work of these two depart
ments has improved as a result in the
last few months.
IF this bill now fails, there Is Ger
tain to be q letdoWn in the efficiency
and morale of both departments and I
responsibility"
