The house has been the scene Of
many delightful parties for M. and
Nine. Naoumoff were very popular in
Washington and frequently enter
tanned at dinner parties, their guests
never many in number.
The house first was occupied by
Mr.. and Mrs Edward S. Perot, who
moved there in 1926 from the house
at 23l4 Wyoming avenue. They re-
manned on Woodland drive until
they moved to New York in 1884
and leased the house to the Bull
garian government.
Present House Was Scene
OF Two Debuts.
The present embaSSy-or what has
served as the embassy and was the
legation for several years before
that-was purchased from the estate
of the late Rear Admiral and Mrs.
Richardson Glover. 1t was in that
house that Mrs. Thomas Holcomb,
formerly Miss Beatrice Glover, made
her debut and her sister, Miss Eu-
dora Glover, now living in France,
also was presented. The former
President of Panama, Senor DR.
Don Ricardo Alfaro. completed the
purchase of the New Hampshire
avenue property while he was Min
lister at Washington and after his
regime as head of the Panama mis-
sion the building was remodeled,
making the chancery entrance on
Eighteenth street. However, since
the legation was raised to an en-
bassy and work of the staff was in
creased because of the war, larger
quarters became necessary.

PAPER TO BURN

Latest reports from the home front tell us that there is no paper shortage Some paper mills actu- ally are out begging for orders. It that our frantic efforts to paper inspired by the fear of scarcity, rather than any actual proof of such shortage that there would be one.
 Washington got all excited about what would hap pen if there was scarcity and announced that We would need paper than our present mill capacity could produce
 Governmental agencies started sending out releases typed both sides of the paper Newspaper city editors got all excited and their reporters scur rying after feature stories about how housewives would be carrying the old market basket again and forth.
 One lady actually go excited about the an nouncement that she rushed out and bought $75 worth of toilet paper
 One printer who usually bought only several tons of paper stock at a time purchased 20 tons
 Washington agencies threatened to take 30 percent of the present stock
 It a very sad situation
 Whoever started the stampede forgot to take into consideration the fact that ordinary civilian con- sumption of paper already was tremendously cut down for natural reasons. Many products packed in cardboard cartons have been curtailed Automo- bile manufacturers quit sending out large buks of promotion material, as did many other industries
 The sad result of all this is that the paper busi- ness now is in a slump, a lower sag than if the scarcity boogey hadn't been waved from Capitol Hill
 Today, some mills only operating three days week. The Government is asking curtaiment of wastepaper campaigns.
 This is not the first conservation boner that has been pulled It probably will not be the last The Government is trying to win the war as quickly as possible and tread on few toes as~possble in the

PERSONNEL PROBLEMS

Take the Nebraskan who enlists in the Army because he loves horses. He is shipped to an east ern post, and finds nothing but machines in this Army. He makes morose and difficult soldier. An interview discloses the cause, and he is shipped to unit which still has some horses.
 The little East Side New Yorker IS bad actor, making trouble m hls un't. An officer suggests he take some time off and go home on leave. "I can't go home,' he says. Why not?" He points to his arm. No stripes" He won't be seen by the gang at home until he is at least corporal.
 Somebody discovers that he is a professional entertainer, and he is asked to be master of ceremonies at the posts next show. He eats it up. His mood changes. His sol- dlerlng improves. He wins the chevrons of corporal, and after that you can't hold him.
 One young fellow, the son of an

open in other parts of the country, run by graduates of this school
 There are many courses, all on how to make the Army more ef- ficient. Take the Chinese boy who was serving as waiter in the mess hall, because some officer thought restaurants were Chinese special ties. A personnel officer discovered the boy qualified as an interpreter, and he was transferred to G-2 Military Intelligence). He doesn't wait on tables any more.
 Personnel problems are only one angle of the business of increasing Army efficiency-but perhaps the most important angle. At Fort Washington, Major Yale Nathan son, former University of Pennsyl- van1a psychology professor, is now teaching officers how to spot the square pegs.

How Canada Does It
(Ketchikan Chronicle)

ihetcnlKan Chronlcle)
 There's saying in Washington that if you want to know what the U. s. will be like in six months or so, look at Canada. Canada has been at war longer than we.
 In January, Canadas dominion income taxes were so heavy that it was necessary to suspend collection of income taxes by the provinces and municipalities the taxpayers just couldn't pay both For example, if man in Montreal had made $2O00OO under the double taxation his tax bill would have exceeded his income
 Canadas taxes are said to be the worlds largest.
 Single men making $2000 pay $500 income tax 'married men with two children, $215) In addition, there is compulsory savings plan running from S2O for single people making $700 year. Too, there is an per cent manufacturers sales tax, 25 per cent luxury tax.
 No one can be fired in Canada no one can quit no one can change from job to another And no one can accept or no give increase in wages to anybody. Exceptions made of course, but only with government approval a"
 Too prices are far more rigidly frozen in Canada than in this country. The cost of living has gone up little more than per cent since last fall
 Canada's wage control law provides a bonus for workers If the cost of living goes up But 1t not an overall bonus For example in this country some people think that if the cost of living goes up 10 per cent, then wages should go up 10 per cent But m Canada if prices go up 10 per cent, then wages go up only 10 per cent of the first $25. That is every worker getting $25 week or more gets S25O a week increase. The man getting $25 is boosted to S275o The man getting $100 is boosted only to $10250.
 Canadas finance minister says its taxation repre- sents the "extreme limit of what the country do"

NICK NAZI RUMORS

A Wife back home writes to the company commander complaining that her soldier husband doesn't write to her. The soldier confesses to an officer that he has heard his wife is unfaithful The officer recognizes one of the commonest rmors in army camps, a rumor which the Germans used svstem- atlcally to undermine morale of French soldiers. He quashes the rumor and starts the correspond ence again between soldier and wife.
 Skill in detecting maladjustment, and correcting it, is not part of the average officers equipment. It cannot be learned from a manual. It requires the sort of clinical pro- eedures taught at the Adjutant Generals School.
 To some extent it is a parental influence, and some Army old timers call it coddling. But Col onel Holdridge believes it's the only way to meet the manpower short age. That shortage requires some thing far more intelligent than in- creaSlng the number of draftees- 1t requires the efficient use of every man within the age limits.
 The Air Corps, for example, is using men trained as pilots, to do administrative jobs in the Air Corps. But the Adjutant Generals S School will pick up job-Iot of "B-l" men, the men with missing teeth, deafness, or lameness, and flnd that, though they are far from pilot material, they are quick at mastering administration. Thus the flier is freed to fly.
 The American Army is 20 years behind in this business. The more efficient Germans have mastered it long ago. But there is hope for improvement, as a result of the school at the bend of the Potomac.

Pass the Cheese,
Cincinnati Ennl1irerl


 Along with the announcement that before very long we are to be ratoned for meat it is inspiring to have the Agricultural Adjustment Administration urge us to eat cheese. No such urgence is be- ing handed out by the corresponding agencies of the Continent the United Kingdom There are shouts of joy when the stevedores come upon lease lend cargo of cheese from Wisconsin, Ohio and New York. Our buddies in the AEF. affect not to care for the beers, ales and stouts of Britain but the English workmen long since have bewailed the lack to them. Yet despite the fact that we have made quite a little cheese these last several years it prin- cipal part of diet. Half a billion pounds of cheese sounds like lot of cheese to make in year beside erstwhile sizabe imports of cheeses from abroad. But cheese to most of pie-eating Ameri- cans is little hunk to go with apple pie-you know the yellow kind, so little appreciated that we don't call it Cheddar but store" or rat" cheese
 There are signs that the government and the ed- ganda to get to eat what is really good for us and delicious, too Perhaps they going at it the wrong way. For what do you suppose would happen If they put priorites very successful native Edams, Camemberts, Rocheforts Danish Bleue Cor gonzolas, not to mention very own Liederkranz and Philadelphia Cream?
 Still 1t may be enough to tell the truth about cheeses to an America already keen on the trail of vitamns and calcium content.

ARMY'S SCHOOL OF ADMINISTRATION

To inaugurate this new system, the Army has set up its own School of Administration, which in way might be compared to the Harvard Business School which trains man agement experts for big business. This school is training officers who will go out and train more off cers, and it is located at Fort Washington, 16 miles down the Potomac from the Capital, not far from Mount Vernon.
 Its headmaster is quick -witted far-sighted Colonel Herbert C.. Holdridge, all his life regular army officer, who even in the last war saw the need of an army ad- ministration to fit men into the right groove, and who in this war finally carried his point at the War Department.
 The school stands on that bend Of the lazy Potomac, where Secre- tary of Navy Frank Knox comes ashore from his yacht every morn ing for perspirational walk up the hillside, before going to his desk in Washington. It nestles among the old oaks and naples which George Washington could see from his lawns on the Virginia side.
 Starting with 200 students last January, the enrolment today is 2000. Other schools are about to

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 bat do not compel"
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 26

Adverse aspects rule today. Avi- ation is under rather uncertain planetary influences and there may be disquieting war news.
 HEART AND HOME; Women are under benefic aspects today. The stars appear to presage for all who are in Government positions good health and physical endur- ance. In auxiliary branches of the Army and the Navy girls will win high praise, for they will serve the nation efficiently A few wo- men will gain lasting fame. This is an suspicious day for romance Girls may expect determined suiS- ors. It is a happy wedding day
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Housing construction on an immense scale, which marked the summer months, will be carried on in many states through the autumn. Much work for winter exigencies is forecast. Carpenters will be employed in re- pairs and improvements in which will be developed many novel household conveniences that sim plify domestic tasks. Women who work in factories and shops will devise clever menus in which food ;c eoia,,tifinallxy YNraf1orad
 NATIONAL ISSUES: As fall ex- penses increase for the average family the ten per cent contri- button from regular incomes will be cheerfully met each month, as- trologers foretell. Increased taxes. however, will be irksome as the number of Government employees scars and reports of waste of pub- lie money are encouraged by fifth columnists. The stars presage a wave of economy which will not gain momentum until after the autumn elections.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Amateur prophets multiply at this time when the direst predictions may be expected While all de- clare victory for the United Ma tions, conscription of labor, prop erty and financial holdings is fore told The soothsayers declare that the United States will be placed under military rule, the popula- tion of millions becoming a vast army. The spiritual center of gravity will move westward to the Pacific coast, they foretell, where the capital of the federated na- tions of the world will be es- tablished Several years would be required for this evolution which fortunately is not foreseen by as- trologers. n
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year in which it is we'll to be on guard against extravaganza and business reverses. Common sense will assure good luck -.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be extremely gifted in the arts. They should be gener- ous, kindly and lovable Success and happiness are prognosticated for them.

KOREAN CHERRY TREES

To Washington, to the nation,
to all the United Nations-and to
the little men of Nippon: It was all
a mistake. A mistake of forty years
standing. And the announcement
came by telegram from the Amer
ican-Korean Council to the Secre-
tary of Interior, the District Com
missioners and the Board of Trade.
The wire said, in effect, that the
Japanese cherry trees" are no
such thing; they are properly Kor-
can cherry trees.
In explanation, the Council said
that our fragrant trees are descen-
dants of those which once grew in
the Yang Ju Valley of the Korean
Peninsula and were later carried
from the homeland by Japanese in
vaders. Today the poisoning trees
in the Valley are but reminders of
the terror of foreign aggression, for
in Yang Ju is the Tomb of Queen
Mimi, killed by the Japanese.
"A 1884 circular of the Agriculture
Department which changed the
name to "Oriental Flowering Cher
ries" is cited by the Council as
further proof.

Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob Smith, Of New
Holland, Pa, miraculously escaped
death on Saturday, when a tractor
with which he was working, ran
lengthwise over his body. He suffer
ed fractured bones in his right
hand and abrasions, and received a
severe case of shock.
The accident occurred when a
wheel cleat caught In his belt and
threw him over in front of the
tread. Seeing the wheel aimed for
his head, he threw 1t aside and the

by the foot.
AS no aid came to him he sought
to release himself by pushing the
starter with his hand. This he final
ly succeeded in doing, and freed
himself. However, he could not call

At last he crawled upon the trac-
tor and was able to drive it and the
