"Nuisance Money!" ="

1t may seem incredible that any form
Of money ever should be a nuisance.
The one-mill aluminium alloy pieces
threatened by Secretary Of the Treasury
Morgenthau would pay rent, buy meals
and be accepted by savings banks
without protest: they would serve effec-
lively enough all the purposes of COIN
age in general. Doubtless, the average
citizen would not be prejudiced against
them in. their character as money. The
principal problem would be that of gar
nering plenty of them, and in that
respect they would not differ from
niekles and dimes-they would be just
as hard to earn as dollars are.
But Mr. Morgenthaus idea is that
they would be somewhat more con-
venient to spend. A press release from
his Publicity Bureau says:
The Treasury has been studying the
problem with reference to small
coins which has been raised by the
recent enactment of sales taxes In
number of States. Where such taxes are
on straight percentage basis, as many
of them are, there is the problem of
providing some means to enable pur-
chasers to pay the exact amount of the
tax on small purchases or for making
change in such cases."
All of which, certainly, is reasonable
statement, so far as it goes. The omitted
aspect of the matter likewise would
have supporters. Postal authorities, for
example, would not be adverse to the
piece would pe an accommodation to

District and Federal Needs.

In the course OF his statement ex-
planatory of the reason for denying, for
the present. the Districts application for
a loan of public works money for
the construction of the courts unit OF
the Municipal Center Secretary Ickes
saws: Il know the District needs these
court buildings badly, and l sincerely
wish a way could be found to approve
the project, but I can't just now. The
question arises, Can we build any more
buildings in Washington just now In
Justice to our General program? More
over, the National Government has not
enough ONCE space in Washington for
its own employees"
In connection with that statement the
fact is disclosed that approximately
1000 persons are being added each
ton alone, and thus it does not appear
hopeful that the Government will catch
mp on its building program during the
next two years. Meanwhile, 1t is pro-
ceeding at a pace which is reminiscent
Of war times with the lease of privately
owned buildings, some business struc-
lures, some residences to house this
steadily increasing personnel.
When the Great War broke, in 1914,
the Government rolls in Washington
embraced about 10000 persons. The
oF ad SfotnS the
war in 1917 caused a sudden and large
increase, until at the peak the total
reached approximately 10000. The
postwar depletions gradually reduced
this total to about 10000, which was
the figure when the New Deal began.
The latest reports place the number OF
Government workers in Washington at
around 100000, and at the rate of in
create noted, 1000 a month, 1t will be
only short time when the wartime
peak is reached and passed.
In war time the additional personnel
was housed In temporary buildings, some
Of which remain, notably the two great
concrete structures in Potomac Park
which now are occupied by the War and
Navy Departments, for which permanent
homes are needed. Fortunately there
has been no move toward the conStruc-
ton of such temporary buildings. Per-
haps there is belief in high oficial
circles that a large part of the additional
force will remain as permanent person.
mel. At the present the prospect OF
change in this respect would seem to
depend upon political turnover at the
next election, with the cancellation OF
some. If not ALL OF the emergency ad-
ministrative features of the Federal
Government.
Thus II the chances of the District
for the procurement OF funds for the
construction of urgently needed housing
for it's official forces and its necessary
administrative and judicial personnel
and services rest upon the completion
of the Federal Governments housing
program they would seem to be slight
indeed There should in truth, be no
relationship between these two factors
The Districts construction requirements
long outdate those of the Government
and should take precedence in the pro-
vision of funds, regardless of the effect
Of new building work upon the relief
measures.

A Rhyme at Twilight
By
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton
Town Spectator

The city to him is play house
Where he has a permanent stall.
He watches all the pageantry
And every curtain call.
As critic and spectator
He enjoys the unforeseen
That on the stage of the city
May lurk in many q scene.
In the great, continuous drama
That goes to make up the show.
Where men are featured or broken
In the human ebb and now,
He's always there at an opening
And always in at the last,
Making mates On the play before him
And kaenina fEee Of ths east.

Common Human Purpose.
Spectacular plans are paraded.
Perhaps we no longer would sigh
II somehow the world were persuaded
To join in one Fourth Of July.
Explosives are freely invented
To spangle the beautiful sky.
Could they join, we might all be con-

For one glorious Fourth Of July!
Our Fighting Philosophers told 'em
OF a government great by and by.
All nations-we fain would behold EN-
Combined on one Fourth Of July.
Life and liberty all men must cherish,
For happiness also they try.
Why not let munitions all perish
In q general Fourth of July!

CONGRESS UNDULY.
EXCITED BY WORK
Records Show Time Used
in Other Sessions Puts
This One in Shade.

Congress, restless under the hot
weather and the growing popular i'm
preston that it has been overlong On
the job, is not really long suffering, IS
compared with other recent Con-
crosses. Study of the records show
that President Roosevelt will probably
round out his four-year term with
much shorter sessions Of Congress that
most of his predecessors since the turn
of the century.
Notwithstanding the general clamor
for early adjournment-the fact re-
mains that to date the present session
has continued for 200 calendar days,
since 1t convened on January 8. and
200-day sessions are by no means ex-
traordinary. Out of Ill regular and
special sessions since March 4, 1888,
48 have lasted 200 days or more and
six have lasted 800 days or more.
President Hoover held Congress in
session for more than 200 days on
three occasions and President Cool
idge, who set a new low record for
brief sessions also exceeded 200 days
in one instance.
What the proponents Of a quick
getaway overlook Is that the two pre-
vious sessions under President RooSe-
welt were unusually short-one of 80
days and the other 1877 days. If Con-
gress stays on the job until August
is to dispose of tax legislation and
other matters earmarked must" by
the President, the session will have
lasted 224 days-which has been
equaled or exceeded 20 times since
Congress took up the legislative bur-
dens 146 years ago.
One Session 354 Days.
In the last 20 years various sessions
have continued respectively fer 278,
354, 227, 2S2, 200, 222, 2l4 and 22s
days.
The longest single session on record
was from December 3, 1917, to Mo-
vember 81, 1918, during the World
War-354 days, but there was close
second away back in 1867-186s, when
Congress sat for 345 days.
II the present Congress should be
forced to stay on the Job until Sep
TENDER /, as some Of the leaders now
believe Is probable, the total calendar
days under the Roosevelt administra-
ton will yet be only 507. which is still
