U. s. Keeps Traditions
 Eren If Britain Slips
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON May 28.-Even the dictionaries and encyclopedias will have to be changed as result of the discovery that the Lord Cham cellor's woolsack is filled with horse hair, and it may fall to the United States to become the nation willing and eager to uphold tradition when England fails.
 For hundreds of years, ever since Elizabethan days, the Lord Chancellor supposedly has sat on a sack of wool, later framed into the seat of chair, while dispens- ing orders. It was designed as a gesture to recognize the impor- tance of wool in British commerce.
 Yet only a few days ago it be- came known to the public that the famed woolsack seat for many years has been filled with horse hair.
 Even our office dictionary and encyclopedia report in all inno- cence that the seat is filled with wool and there isn't as much as an asterisk to refer a guileless reader to the foot of the page where he might learn that the wool has been displaced by horsehair.
 But Washington has it's traditions, even if 1t has no Lord Chancellor, and they are preserved intact-that is, almost intact.

 ALASKA FISH
 AT SEATTLE
Superior Court Ruling Is Made - Shipments of
 Herring Involved

SEATTLE, May 28-Under a Su- perior Court ruling, the King County assessor moved to assess aproximat- ely one million dollars worth oi hitherto unassessed fish and fish products stored here after shipment from Alaska.
 The court ruled that 35,000 barrels of Alaska herring stored in 1886 is taxable because a portion was sold for delivery outside the state and had not been earmarked or separ- ated from those barrels for which no buyer had been found
 Deputy Prosecutor Lloyd Shorett said the decision means that the assessor now has a right to assess all fish and fish products whici, come here from Alaska unless it definitely appears the products are held for shipment outside of the state'

SNUFF-NO TAKERS

So far as we know not a single Senator takes snuff, although some may do so in the priycay of their offices. Yet beside the cloakroom door in the Senate chamber sits a little enameled snuff box filled to the brim with snuff. It was put there when post-revolutionary war mem bers took their snuff and brushed the stray bits off with lacy hand kerchiefs.
 Long ago blotters proved to be superior to sand for drying off sur plus ink. but each senatorial desk is supplied. not with blotter. but with a sand cellar from which sand may be sprinkled upon a stray sig nature or letter the Senators may choose to write while in session.
