NERO 0UT-NER0ED

The ridiculous artifices which are being used by campaigners here and there constitute one of the sor- riest comments 0n present day po- litical methods. Senator Robinson of Arkansas, Democratic leader in the Senate,is the latest to take liter ally to tub-thumping. Not to be outdone by Huey Long, who won Arkansas for Mrs. Caraway with phonogragh records and amplifiers, Senator Robinson is touring his State with a set of comic characters he calls the Arkansas Hillbillies. !" Equipped with saws, brooms, wash tubs. fish poles, suitcases and what not, they whang and beat away for the political edification of those who turn out for the Robinson meetings

oNE.H0USE LEGISLATURE

Colorado newspapers are giving publicity to one of the most sen- sible suggestions that could be put before a state. The proposal is for a one-house legislature. The advan- tages of efficiency and economy which a one-house legislature would have over the present two-house ar engagement is obvious.
 In the national government a senate and house are desirable, but in a state the two houses constitute, as 1t has often been charged, the biggest and most active trading post in the state."
 The proposal made in Colorado is to have one house of 25 members to be in session all the time except when it recesses to study proposed legislation. Laws enacted would go into effect six months after the governors signature, and the body would convene, not at stated inter vals or on the call of the governor, but at the will of majority of members of the house. With only 25 members, paid decent salary, the legislature might thus get some really able legislators.
 Because the suggestion is sen- sible, and would promote economy and efficiency in state government, it is apt to get scant attention. People shout for economy but sell dom vote for it.

BANK MYSTERY SOLVED

An illustration of how slight thing may give the clue to crime mystery, with a negro bootblack in- nocently pointing out his friend as the criminal, was contained in a recent case in court in a Texas county when Allen Jones, a negro admitted getting 5000 while serv- ing as janitor in bank. The appre- hension of Jones lifted load off the minds of the bank employees.
 A farmer had sold tract of land and got a check for $3000, which he presented at bank for hour of the bank and the cashier got the cash and turned it over to the farmer, but they talked of keeping the money in the bank, so it was decided to leave it on de- posit. The money, which was in two envelopes, was laid to one side while the deposit slip was made When it was missed there was no accounting for it's disappearance,

the cashier believing he had re- turned it to the vault Nothing outside the bank was said of the shortage.
 Jones claimed he found the money in the waste basket while cleaning up. Anyway, he took it to his room in the servants quarters at the home of the bank president, and there left it for several weeks. Later he gave up his janitor's job and left town.
 Some weeks later, the bank presi- dent was having his shoes shined and casually asked the bootblaek how his friend Jones was getting along and the youth just as inno- gently said Jones was having a good time off the 5000 bonus he got from the Government. The bank of ficer immediately got busy and in less than three hours Jones was ar rested in San Antonio and $500 was recovered. Jones wife who had re- ceived part of the money was ar rested in another Texas town and $500 was recovered from her.

GERM OF LAZINESs

A lot of people no doubt will feel like giving vote of thanks to Dr. A. B. Jackson of the Harvard Uni versity Medical School who de- clares laziness is a germ.
 Dr. Jackson reports to the Medi- cal Journal and Record that those whom the world calls lazy actually may be victims of kind of 'slow poisoning" caused by germs that live within the body and usually are classed as normal body flora, 5 not considered dangerous. The doc tor said he had successfully treated number of students.
 Thus after discovering that lazi- ness is a disease, pr. Jackson went a step too far and spoiled it all for many by also furnishing a treat ment to remedy the trouble. He says magnesium salts were found to be the best remedy.
 However, it surely will take some time to perfect the cure for so seri- ous a malady and even then the cure may not be certain to work in all cases. In the meantime, those of us who sometimes plead illness to escape some unpleasant bit of ex- ertion have the word of a noted authority to lend credence to our claim.--EX.

Reno divorces obtained by men or women residents of California were dealt a severe blow recently when Superior Judge w. S. Baird of Los Angeles ruled, in effect. that they are illegal Judge Baird declared null and void, a decree obtained in Reno by Los Angeles man and a. warded a divorce to his wife. This ruling complicates the status of hundreds of Californians who hur- ried to the Nevada court mecca rather than be forced to obtain in- terlocutory decrees in their own state, and wait a year for final decree.

OLD MALL Tunnel
TO Be PUMPED DRY
Curious Finds in Marine
Growth, Fish or AMI
mails Anticipated.

The unknown contents of an old wa
ter tunnel running from the Tidal Ba-
sin across the Mall to the corner OF
Fourteenth street and Constitution ave-
nue. soon may be known, as pumps are
to start drawing out the water to pre-
pare the tunnel for use in the cooling
system for Government buildings.
What curious sort Of marine growth,
fish, or animals, may have found refuge
in the length of this old tunnel has
been the source of much conjecture.
The old tunnel was formerly used by
the Potomac Electric Power Co. to sup
ply water for its powerhouse at the
corner of Fourteenth street and Con-
stitution avenue. where the new De-
partment of Labor Building is to be
erected.
Cofferdam Sealed.
The cofferdam to keep Tidal Basin
been completed and was being sealed
tight yesterday The pumps had been
started yesterday to empty the old
tunnel. but the cofferdam was found
to leak, SO had to be sealed tighter.
It is expected the pumps will be started
today and It will probably take about
two weeks to empty the water from
the tunnel A new concrete inlet Is to
be constructed
Through the old tunnel will flow wa
ter to be used in conditioning the air
in the new Government buildings in
the Federal triangle. As gravity is to
be used to obtain water frcm the basin,
the new tunnel to be dug from the
corner of Fourteenth street and Con-
stitution avenue is to be quite deep.
First work on this new part of the tun-
mel, between Sixth and Seventh streets
on Constitution avenue. has sunk the
tunnel to depth there Of about IS
feet, by the use of sheet piling.
A return tunnel also is being con-
structed along Constitution avenue to
pour the used water. which has been
warmed by heat from the air in the
buildings. back into sewers. The re-
turn line for this water is about so
per cent complete.
Another Series Built.
Another series of tunnels is being
constructed in the downtown area for
an entirely separate purpose, to carry
steam from the new Government heat
ing plant to be erected in the south
west section to many Government
buildings. In this distribution system
also. an old tunnel is to be utilized.

the heavy 18-inch steam pipe has been
laid in this old tunnel across the Mall,
and starting across the Elhpse. An
other spur Of this heating system in the

structed along the line Of Twelfth

PLEASURE BOAT OWNERS

Revenue Bureau Instructs Collec-

Calls Attention to Penalty.

Failure of many owners Of yachts
and pleasure boats to pay the special
tax levied on their craft by the 1882 tax
law caused the Internal Revenue Bu-
reau yesterday to issue instructions to
its 64 collectors throughout the country
to get after the money.
Up to the end of August, it was re-
ported, 9,125 owners had paid $3.50, ,649,
although the Internal Revenue Bureau
estimates $500,000 should come from
this tax on pleasure boats, which covers
both motor and sailing craft. This diff
ference led officials to believe many
owners have not paid.
Attention was called to the fact that
there is a penalty of 25 per cent Of
the tax for failing to make a return.
