This phase of the maneuvers,
known as Problem 49," is a test
of the facilities of the harbor here
and Is regarded as very important

Officers pointed out that lack
Of proper base facilities would
greatly handicap fleet operations
in the Pacific or elsewhere. It
was declared a base should be able
to accommodate an entire fleet
with drydocks and other facilities.
Among the first vessels arriving
at Pear Harbor today, in addition
to the Pennsylvania, carrying Ad'
miral Joseph M. Reeves, fleet COM

and cruisers.
Preceding the first contingent
Of surface vessels into the harbor

Greatest Show On Earth
By John Snure, T.

The staff is large, the Suld-
rieS moderate, and the arrests
fen.
When trouble occurs the Capt.
toll police Invariably call in the
District police for aid.
Now there comes a new pro-
gram.
They want FIREMEN FOR
THE CAPITOL.
In supplemental estimates for
the legislative establishment,
there is a request for $S1,15O
for firemen to prevent cOnfla-
gratiOns in Uncle Sans big
building.
First, the request for firemen
went from Charles F. Pace, fl.
nancial clerk of the Senate, to
D. w. Bell, acting director of
the Bureau of the Budget. Then
it went to the President and
back to the House Appropria-
tons Committee.
The requested appropriation
would pay fourteen firemen, five
of whom would be sergeants at
$4,000 annually, and nine pr.
Yates at $1,000 per year. For
uniforms and equipment $1,000
is requested.
At the rate of one and four
titthS tiremen for each sergeant,
the contlGgrGtionS should be
kept at a minirS0n.
Of course the only serious
blaze occurred a few years back
when some careless person
dropped a cigarette in a small
room in which, documents were
stored.
That was the first decent
blaze since the British fired the
Capitol in 1912.

Dawes was Vice President and

you surveyed your outstanding
assets-your talents and parlor
tricks. With what apprehension
you studied your handicaps.
There were, you perceived,
plenty of faults. You were
lazy-no use denying it. You
fibbed plenty and frightened
easy, and sometimes you sulked.
Yet, on the whole, you decided
you were a Good Fellow, gener"
Gus and friendly, loyal and reli'
able. Maybe your performance
wasn't always up to standard,
but your motives were okay. If
people would just give you a
chance, you could always make
good.
So you built up your picture
of Your Self. And you went
about the job honestly. No mat
ter how much you might alibi
or pretend to the outer world,
you didn't want to kid yourself.
You really wanted the true low
down on Exhibit A. Having
gotten it, you stored it away for
reference.
But how many years Is it now
that you've carried that picture
of yourself? Five-10-30? And
isn't it possible that, in all those
years, that picture may have
changed?
Everything else in your life
has changed. The furniture
you've used has grown shabby
and scarred-has been replaced.
You've changed your job many
times. Moved, perhaps, to a
new town. Formed new friends
new habits of life.
YET STILL YOU CLING TO
THE PICTURE YOU MADE OF
YOURSELF AS AN EAGER,
NEROUS. FIR ENDLY
YOUNG SOUL AND BE-
L1EVE THAT OTHERS SEE
THE SAME IMAGE.
THE ANSWER
But they don't. Other people
see you as you are NOW-not
as you were when you gradu-
ated from high school. And
other people see your actual,
outward acts, not your vague
inner motives. And proceed to
treat you accordingly.
You've wondered why you got
such a strange deal from the
rest of the human race-tried,
in vain, to tie that deal up with
your own performance. Well
there's the answer. They've
been seeing one person-you've
been seeing another, a person
who disappeared years ago
who, perhaps, never existed at
all!
So what? So it's up to you.
You can, if you wish, see your
self as others see you-and be
freed from plenty of grief. Or
you can go on kidding yourself.
And see what 1t buys you.

If you do say it yourself.
You've always been swell to
everyone. So why should
people treat you like that
suspect you so unjustly-be-
tray you so treacherously-
punish you so cruelty?
But ARE you a Good Egg?
What makes you so sure you are
one? Is there, perhaps, a mis-.
take in that audit of yourself?
And does most of your misery
arise from the fact that you're
not the sort of person you think
you are, not by million miles!

parently plausible reasons, have
been kept earthbound.
Nearly every rural community
has it's haunted house. In fact,
nearly all ghost stories have
their locale in lonely, out-of the
way places.
For some reason ghosts do not
seem to frequent our modern
metropolitan centers. No one,
not even a superstitious scrub
woman, has reported seeing a
ghost in the Empire State Build
ing, or in any of our up-to-date
hotels. Ghosts have never been
seen in the Grand Central Ter
minal, in New York City, nor in
any subway train.
STRANGE SOUNDS
The latest ghost story from
real life is an example of how
opposite conclusions may be
drawn by different minds from
the same evidence.
A man and wife had rented a
very old house on Cape Cod.
They had occupied the house
about a week when they were
awakened one night by shut
fling sound in the attic.
1t seemed to them that shut
fling footsteps approached a
door at the top Of the attic
stairs, paused and shuffled back.
Upon his wife's insistence, the
husband investigated. found
neither man nor ghost, and
stated that it looked like a rat
or a mouse to him, although he
could not account for the shut
fling.
A few nights later the sounds
returned. The young wife be-
came nervous and insisted upon
another investigation. Nothing

is explicit that where such per.

Examine the Record
By James T. Williams, Jr.

As Ue look back ouer our
country'S history We find that
it tDds those men tDho told the
people the Whole truth-or
tOhGt, at least, they themselves
honestly believed to be the
t0hole truth-tDho most often
succeeded in carrying their pro-
poSGlS through. In these mat.
tiers, Which touch the Uery life
and soul of the Nation, all drti-
flee is out OF pldce.-Fronl OIL
Der'S "OrdeGl by Battle"
Barring grave national
emergency, Congress will not be
in session at this time next
year.
Next year about this time the
members of "the great jury of
the people" will begin to study
the evidence that they may be
prepared to render their YER
dict when judgment is passed
on election day, November,
1885, upon the 435 members Of
the House and the 80 members
of the Senate who will then
come up for reelection.
Under the American system
of government, Representatives
in Congress are required to sub
nit themselves once in every
two years to the people for
Judgment and one-third of the
members Of the Senate are
under the same wise compul-
sion.
COMING EVENTS
It is because the shadows Of
coming events have already be-
gun to fall that the present
session of Congress is an haraSs-
ing one for it's members but a
helpful one for the people. The
people can tell in every con-
gressional district whether they
are worthily represented in the
national House of Representa-
tives. All they have to do is
take the time and the trouble
to examine the record of the
present Congress.
If the people in any congress
sional district wish their repre-
sentation in Congress to reflect
their own love of liberty, their
passion for Justice, their respect
for the American system OF
government, their loyalty to the
flag and all that it symbolizes,
they can have it so. Theirs is
the sovereignty and the polls
on election day are the places
set aside for the exercise OF
that sovereignty.
If the people prefer that their
representation in Congress
should be of a lower order than
is their better self, they can
have it so. They can be, if they
so wish, represented in Congress
by a man who preys upon their
ignorance instead of appealing
to their intelligence; by a man
who inflames their prejudices
and arouses their passions in
stead of quickening their love
of truth, their sense Of honor
and of obligation as citizens pos.
sesSed Of sovereignty.
The present House Of Repre-
sentatives seems to have been
dominated from the day it came
into being by members in both
parties who despise the people,
hold in contempt their fitness
for sef-government, their ma
tional aspirations, and their
very allegiance to the Govern.
ment of the Constitution.

along the floor.

or spook, rushed to the attic
this time, hoping to take the
maker of the noise by surprise.
The attic was empty, and the
windows we're nailed tight, just
as he had left them, and he so
reported.
THE SOLUTION
There now arise the question,
whether the manifestation was
supernatural, or the result of
some natural cause.
The wife insisted the evidence
was conclusive that it was
spirits. She bee m e highly

insisted there was a natural
explanation, and in time he
would find it.
On the third night he deter
mined to remain awake at the
top of the attic stairs, and
when he heard the sounds, to
throw open the door quickly.
Near midnight the Shuffling
noise returned. Grasping the
door knob and throwing the
door open he surprised a huge
rat with a small mouse trap
caught on one fore foot.
Suppose now, the husband
had not happened to catch
sight of the rat. His wife would
have been convinced a spirit
