Around
The
Capital
By JOHN SNUJRE. Jr.

The visit to Washington Of
Laurence Stallings, the noted
author, recalls the occasion
when he was Sunday editor Of
The Washington Times, as well
as o copy reader who INDUCED
in poetry.
A girl on the staff was always
late In turning in her Sunday
copy. One day Stallings be-
came exasperated and told her
Q few things that forced her to
tears.
He wrote an apologetic poem.
one verse Of which went some
thing like this:
"And when ct last I take my
place
Among the copy boys OF
Hades,
Say, He deserved shame, dis
grace!'
He raised his sword against
the ladies!"

Paige shook his head. ''Not
an enemy in the world. Every
body liked Sunny. She was
awfully popular"
''Was there anything In her
life before you knew her-some
disgruntled lover or anything
like that?"
But again Paige shook his
head.
"How are your servants?"
"Old Peter has been here
since before I was born. Mrs.
Deane was Sunny's nurse in
London when she was a baby,
and then returned to her en-
ploy as a personal maid shortly
before we were married. I can
tell you that they are both
above suspicion and it's no use
to waste time on them"
Had she ever mentioned any
specific person whom she feared
or miStruSted or who had
threatened her?"
''Never."
"Just one more question, Mr..
Paige" said Anderson. "You
understand that these questions
are more or less general. We
have to ask them as a matter
of routine. Had you and your
wife quarrelled within a reason
ably short period before her
death?"
Paige flushed with anger.
Certainly not" he said
promptly but he dropped his
eyes as he spoke and his tones
lacked conviction. Mrs. Paige
and I were ideally happy to-
gether."
But" Anderson seemed
at a loss how to continue.
Then he contented himself
with drawing out his envelope
and making another note.
Very well, Mr.. Paige. I un-

American democracy and new stim-
ulus to patriotism and good citizen
ship.
AS residents of this beautiful Capt.
tai City we enjoy great privileges and
these privileges carry with them equal
ly important responsibilities, which we
must assume as good citizens and as
individual home and property owners.
Cleanup week is designed to stress
our personal responsibility for civic
cleanliness. There are many ways in
which this obligation can be dis
charged; by the removal of accumu-
lation of trash and rubbish in homes
and outbuildings; by repairs and re-
painting, and by the planting Of trees
and flowers in our front yards and
gardens.
The District Commissioners have
officially proclaimed the period from
May 7 to IL for observance as Clean
up week. This gives all of us the
opportunity to put forth renewed ef-
forts to do our part as individual citi-
zens to make Washington the clean
est as we'll as the most beautiful city
in the world.

While no Developments were reported.
1t was announced that Senator King
Of Utah had referred to the white
metal with this statement:
"The discussions on the subject
with the President are still In prog
ress and it Is expected that some
measure may be brought forward be-
fore the end Of the session"
Silver advocates on the House side
of the Capitol, however, conceded Mr
Roosevelt at least one point in his
effort to ward of the demand for
compulsory silver legislation.
The Goldsborough bill to establish
Federal monetary authority to con-
troll all currency and prescribe silver
purchases at q rate Of $4,000, ,00(

ploye for each retailing establishment
subject to the retail code.
The notice calls attention to Presi-
dent Roosevelt's executive order Of
April IS last, to the effect that nom
payment of assessments to code au-
thorities is q violation of the code.
"The Retail Code Authority for the
District of Columbia" delinquents
were notified, has been directed to
prepare a list of those subject to the
retail code who have not paid their
assessment, and certify the same to
the local compliance director by May
z. He will be compelled to withhold
issuance Of the new code eagle to
such merchants or to withdraw the
same If it has been issued"
The authority points out further
that merchants need display only the
code eagle for the trade in which
they primarily are engaged, and pay
assessments only to the authority for
that code.
Payments have been received from
a large number of Washington retail
ers, Edward D. Shaw, secretary of the
local Retail Code Authority said, but
there still remain many who have not
taken care of this obligation.

Recorded Sign Language.
Before they parted they gathered
before a movie camera and went
through once more the signaling and
semaphores of the primitive Esperanto
Of the plains. The result is an i'm
perishable record, now on file in
Washington, of a language which
otherwise would have died with those
who used it.
In his dealings with the red men,
Scott was known as a conciliator,
diplomat, a white man to be liked
and trusted, although feared If
aroused. From the day he set foot
on the plains he made a sincere ef-
fort to understand, the Indians and
their ways, a practice he continued,
retrospectively, in the last days of his
retirement at his quiet Princeton
home.
Gen. Scott gravitated naturally to
Princeton after life of rowing which
took him to Manila. Cuba, the Far
West, the Mexican border and even
Siberia. Although born in Kentucky,
the roots of his family were entwined
in the scholastic traditions of Prince
ton where his grandfather, Rev.
Charles Hodge, was for many years
head of Princeton Theological Sem
mary, and where his father, Rev.
William McKendry Scott, prepared
for the Presbyterian ministry. and
his brother. Prof. William Bergman
Scott, was for so years a professor
of geology and paleontology.
Gen. Scott's family includes three
daughters, Mrs David Stockton and
Miss Huston Scott, both of Princeton,
and Miss Mary Blanchard Scott Of
New York, and a son, Lewis Merrill
Scott. Another son, Col. David
Hunter Scott, died in active service
in the World War.

AskOy Loses First Debate to
Sandstone.

The first debate of the season was
held at the Askov high school assem-
bly, Monday at 2 o'clock. The ques-
ton this year is, Resolved: That the
United States should adopt the Brit
ish system of radio operation and
control. Both teams waged right into
the question and good arguments were
presented on both sides. After an
hour and a half of hard and exceed
ingly interesting debating the judges
rendered the negative victorious with
2 to 1 decision. The affirmative
was upheld by Thyra Henriksen, Sig
urd Buck and Ruth Hansen, while the
negative was upheld by Bertram
Klein, Gordon Lundberg, and Hor-
tense Larson. The Askov team was
faced by misfortune when Mildred
Sandager was taken i'll. She was,
however, valiantly replaced at the
last minute by Sigurd Buck.

This weeks games are as follows:
Bruno at AskOv; Barnum at Sand
stone; Rush City at Moose Lake; Pine
layson; and McGrath at Brook Park.
Sandstone defeated Barnum % to
Is ON January %. Brook Park, the
surprise of the district, soundly
whipped the Hinckley boys 20 to 16.
North Branch edged out Pine City
% to II and in turn was beaten by
Hinckley 25 to ~. Finlayson lost to
Barnum.
In non-district games West Duluth
and ChiSago were both nOsed out by
one point. Barnum defeated West Du-
luth "a to 33 and North Branch beat
Chisago % to %.
Hinckley made a clean sweep of its
three games with Askov January 26,
by defeating the Askov freshmen,
first team, and town team.
Hinckley's freshmen team swamped
the Askov freshmen 80 to 9. They
built up big lead in the first half
and then sent in a long string of
substitutes. The local boys were
forced to play without relief during
the entire game.
The Askov first team was not up to
its usual strength and their shooting
was off color. The boys attempted
to vary from their usual game and
shoot from the center line which
proved disastrous. AS whole their
teamwork was very ragged, and they
fell down on their passing game.
The final score was 3S to IS.
Friday, Feb. 2, in one of the two
remaining home games the Bruno
boys and girls teams come here to
play the Askov high school boys and
girls teams. This is the only home
game for the girls. Elaborate plans
have been made for the game. The
cheering section will be decorated
and new cheerleader, Doris Jacob
sen, has been chosen to help Doro-
thy Grafelman and John Clegg. There
will be a novel entertainment for
which committee has been selected.
Lunch will be served for a small ad-
ditional charge.

slow to use the authority that is
sought to be given him.
Speaking of this income-taxation-
initiation question, an admirable edi-
torial from a recent issue of the Phil
adelphia Record is inserted here and
now. It's a gem:
wall Street bankers are respon-
sible for a widespread authorization
campaign, featuring the distribution
of 1OO,OOO-mark notes of the German
initiation period. Each note is &C
companied by letter explaining that
the enclosed bill was worth $4,000
before the war and was virtually
worthless after the initiation.
Pretty cute. But if inflationlsts
cared to stoop to this kind of STRAIT
egg, they could easily answer Wall
Street by distributing $4,000 checks
in American banks, which closed dur
ing the Hoover regime, and which
aren't worth a nickel today because
of the deflation. The truth is that
either uncontrolled initiation or un-
controlled deflation can wreck a ma
TONS financial structure. Only con-
trolled initiation can stop the con-
tinuing deflation."
Minnesota's Governor Olson, &C
companied by his administrator DR..
Lambie, are in the Capital earnestly
working to speed up approval of pub
lie works projects and to assure ex-
tension and expansion of civil works
and emergency relief funds for the
Gopher state, and cooperating in that
regard with the writer and others
who have been in constant confer
ence with the administration over
these matters.
Minnesota has a splendid record
as compared with other states, In
getting these funds put to quick and
efficient use. Naturally, such large
expenditures and such a necessarily
speedy program have caused local
complaints and scattered instances OF
individual errors, but in the present
regrettable revelations of political
and financial crookedness in cOnnec-
ton with these OUTLAWS, Minnesota
can proudly point to a completely
clear record.
