By RODNEY DUTCHER (NEA Service Writer) Washington, April 13.—The old- fashioned private shaving mug, re- posing in a special barber shop niche with its owner's full name and mid- die initial painted on the hull in large gold letters, still survives in the base- ment clipping and shearing establish- ment below the senate wing of the capitol. Time was, no doubt, when the mug tack represented a directory of con- temporary American statesmen. To- day only a few mugs remain and the absence of brushes within them in- dicates the sad estate to which that ancient and honorable tradition has fallen. Only two of the current sen- ators are still represented, Henry F. Ashurst of Arizona and Joseph E. Ransdell of Louisiana. Most of the other mugs have been left as relics of senators passed to their reward. Senator Ashurst, at least and how- ever, will not desert foaming bowl. Just the other day he walked in proudly with a brand new mug, splendent in its gilded rim and the r’s full name. Some customers have since demanded that it be cov- ered with a towel to save them be- dazlement. ‘Two cups bear the name of John J. McGrain, the ‘senate's deputy ser- arms, but it doesn’t mean “He shaves himself now,” ic barber. . se & One of the heartiest dislikes exist- ing in Washington is that between Senator Carter Glass of Virginia and ex-Senator Bob Owen of Oklahoma. These two were not only born in Lynchburg, Va. They were also born in the same block. Glass is 65 and Owen is 67. It may have been the difference in ages or a complete in- difference to each other which kept them from being playmates, although they were acquainted through boy- hood days. Glass stayed in Virginia, while Owen moved to Oklahoma. Glass had been several years in the house when Owen reached the senate in 1907, Glass was the principal leader in the house for the Wilson the Crystal noticed three things that at the time seemed trivial, but which later were to assume terrifying sig- nificance. The first was that the maid's impassive “Telephone for Misi Tarver” brought Tony to her feet shefore her name had actually been uttered, as if she had been expecting the call; the second was a swiftly cx- changed glance between Tony and Dick, an involuntary glance from which Tony recoiled with an almost visible shudder; and the third was the fact that, when Tony had left the Jonson living room to answer the call, Dick Talbot became deaf to the conversation about him, nervously clenching and unclenching his laced fingers. In a very short time Tony re- turned.- Dick Talbot's brooding black eyes fixed themselves on her beauti- ful face with a fierce intensity, but Tony did not glance toward him. “I’m.awfully sorry, Cherry,” Tony began in-her clear voice, “but I'll hhave to dash back to town after din- . Pat demands my presence. Very mysterious, but: firm.” Cherry raised her brows; her topaz eyes made no secret of their mocking skepticism. “Fathers are apt to be like that, aren't they? I'm going to train Nils to be more considerate of Hope ... Mr. Tarver isn't ill, or ee commonplace like that, is rf “Judging by his voice, he seemed 1o be in his usual robust health, thanks,” Tony answered lightly. “I what a gorgeous time I'm having here, and I hope to be back by mid- night. Just in case though, I'll pack my bag. . . Can you drive me in, TRIBUNE’ administration's fiscal program which Produced the Federal Reserve Act and Owen occupied a similar position in the senate. No sooner had Glass uttered a blast at the action of President Charles E. Mitchell of the National City Bank, in extending aid to borrowers a! 1g Mitchell all right and Glass all wet. Glass came back, asserting in effect that for anyone who pretended to have had anything to do with the Reserve Act, Owen showed a sad! ignorance of its text. Owen. has grown up into a cold, austere person. As a prohibitionist he deserted the Democratic ticket last fall. Drinking wine makes him ill. He has been a progressive. Glass is distinguished, among other things, for his fiery temper and his sense of humor. He stood by Smith in the campaign and publicly defied the powerful dry leader, Bishop Can- non. He is a conservative Democrat. * * * A Texas congressman found his campaign enemies spreading thi ry that he was sending out many thou- sands of printed copies of his speeches at government expense and conceived the idea that this should be specif- ically denied whenever members of congress sent out such propaganda in the future. Other senators and rep- resentatives realized that the misap- Prehension was common and seized upon the idea. Now the printed speeches which are sent out—millions of them in any election year—bear the notice: “Not. Printed at Government Expense.” The Government Printing Office charges, of course, for printing and envelopes, using the type as set up for the Congressional Record. For instance, Tom Heflin, warming up for the 1920 campaign. is barrag- ing Alabama with his speech: “The American Flag.” This runs eight Pages and cost him $11.15 for the first thousand copies, plus envelopes, and $2.86 for each additional thousand. There is no charge for postage, but the member bears the expense of addressing them to his constituents. Dick? Sorry to drag you away from the party—” _ As if that had been the cue for which he had been waiting, Kk Talbot answered promptly: fectly all right, Tony. As a matter of fact, I was going to have to drag myself away first thing in the morn- ing. Some business that has come up since I left, Cherry,” he turned to his hostess to explain. “Grocery store business?” Cherry asked impudently. “Oh, well, one alibi’s as good as another! I know darned well you're taking no chance on being stuck out here if Tony has to stay in town—as I suppose she will, By—the—way,” she said slowly and with great emphasis, “this is be- ginning to look suspiciously like an elopement to me! Why not have the wedding right here tomorrow? I could—” “Cherry!” Nils cut her short with @ voice that was like the crack of Lena announced briefly, “You won't have to hurry away be- fore dinner, will you?” Cherry asked, her lovely little face flushed from Nils rebuke. “Just try to send me away without my dinner!” Tony retorted gaily. “There's really no great hurry. I hope you'll let me have a dance or two before I have to face my stern Parent. I'm trying to think what sin he’s found me out in.” Crystal had a faint, still not very troubling suspicion, that Tony was chattering more volubly than was quite normal with her. And certainly Dick Talbot's lame excuse to cut short his own visit had deceived no one... E “But how silly I am!” Crystal scolded herself. “Tony Tarver's no Nar! I never knew her to tell a lie.” ° IN NEW YORK : 2 New York, April 13.—Manhattan’s zy avenues are fertile recruiting : for “summer cowboys.” . : and.

I am told that 75 per cent of the letters of inquiry that reach the ‘dude ranches” come from New York and its environs.
