This service | Thomas Crawford, the sculptor, and has been established by M. W. Picker ing, who is in charge of the Housc majority room, and who for fourteen years has been of very great help to members of Congress, irrespective of party affiliations. Hundreds of sec- retarius, clerks and stenographers secure employment each year Wit members of Congress through Mr. Pickering’s introduction. ‘The maimed heroes of the world war have also found Mr. Pickering a ready and capable friend. One day he wis sitting at his desk and heard the measured tramp of a man in the marble corridor outside. He stepped to the door to offer him a chair, real- izing that he was waiting for some member whose door was locked. Ie found a veteran from Walter Reed| Hospital, both of ‘whose hands had been cut off at the wrist. The veteran was waiting to see a congressman’s secretary, who had promised to help him get his discharge. Knowing that the secretary was oat of town for a few days, Mr. Pickering offered to help the maimed soldier. Through the of- fice of Representative Thompson of ©Ohio he got immediate action on the resealse. The young soldier's arm stumps had healed and he had been waiting more thaa six weeks to get mechanical hands. while eating his heart out with desire to get home to see his mother. Mr. Pickering took this handless man to lunch in the members’ dining room. The result was that a number of the members, including Representative Rucker of Missouri, called on Mr. Pickering, of- fering any assistance in their power. The result was that this war hero is now drawing $156 a month com- pensation and is enjoying a four- vear college course. Recently Mr. Pickering was again at his desk and heard the tap of several pairs of crutches in the marble corridor. It proved to be a delegation from Wal- ter Reed of disabled men, who waived | aside his offer to do something for them, but said their own object in calling was to express appreciation| because he had been so kind to their buddy. . Representative W. A. Rodenberg of Tllinois sat down the other day and figured out just what “Uncde Joe” Cannon stands for as a landmark in the country's development. He finds that since Representative Can- non came to Congress for the first time in 1872 the following have hap- ned: pePoDulnHon. from 40,596,000 to 106,- From thirty seven states to forty- eight. ‘P\:hllc wealth, from $30,000,000 to $300.000,000.000.

She has been struck by lightning several times, but precaution was taken against this, and no serious damage was done. Visitors at the Capitol have been speculating regarding the scaffolding and blank space in the cyclorama un- der the Capitol dome. The fact is that Charles Ayre Whipple is producing & panel entitled “The Spirit of 1917” in the historic frieze to flll the space left vacant by Brumidi more than thirty vears ago, when he died after having worked for more than a quarter of a entury in decorating the Capitol.

Anarctic birds, such as penguins, and antarctic types of sea lions are living on small islands off the coast| of Peru within relatviely a few miles of the equator. Fish teem in the Wwaters nearby as in few other places | in the world, and fish-eating birds| cover the islands like swarms of beos on a limb. These paradoxes in natural history are due to the cold Humbolt current, the reverse of the gulf stream. which sweeps up from below Cape Horn, according to Robert Cush- man Murphy, curator of natural science of the Brooklyn Museum, who spoke yesterday afternoon and even- ing at the New Masonic Temple be- fore members of the National Geo- graphic Society. The cold current which bathes the Peruvian shores is a storehouse of marine life, the speaker said. The Peruvians have not developed a fish- ing industry of any consequence, how- ever, and imports thousands of dollars worth of fish from North America an- nually. - The economic importance of the bird life on the islands has been to $437.000,000.

He says no one ever objected to any of his prayers except Speaker Gillett, who thought he was praying for “the” league of nations when he prayed for “a” league of nations. He thinks Representative James R.

Guano i collected from the E certain vi sold for fertilizer, | o oi® and s More than 90,000 tons is now col- lected annually. The product is worth $75 to $85 per ton in Peru and much more in distant markets, and its sale is helping materially to reduce the Peruvian national debt. To further complicate the strange animal life on the islets off Peru, the speaker pointed out, pelicans nest there, curlew from Alaska .spend a part of the year on their shores, and the mighty condors volplane down now and then from the crestg of the Andes, 15,000 and 16,000 feet aBove the a. The most important bird in uano production is the white-breast- | ed cormorant, whose numbers almost defy enumeration. It is_estimated | that one of the many colonies of these : birds numbers more than 5,000,000 This single 'colony, it is! computed, removes more than 1,000 tons of fish from the sea each day. The chief food of the birds is a fish comparable to the sardine. To an ob- server whose boat is passing through a school of these fish, Mr. Murphy said, the creatures seem to be packed into the sea as tightly as sardines are | packed in a can. Such schools are often acres in extent. MYSTERY BOAT CARRIER OF THE WHISKY RUNNERS Stories Told of “Wild Nights” ‘Within “Three-Mile Limit” of Maryland Eastern Shore. BALTIMORE, January 22 (Special). —Nestling in the waters of Still Pond, Kent county, Md., is a pretty little ship of mystery, whose reputation is at stake with stories of many wild nights of whisky running within the “three-mile limit” of the eastern shore up to a short time before the Christmas holidays. The ship was seized recently under libel proceedings and is to be sold at auction, under an order signed by Judge Rose in the United States dis- trict court, and United States Mar- shal Stockham is making arrange- ments for the sale. The only marks identity on the craft is the name ma Conga on the bow, with the mystic figures of 4249. According to government officials the vessel is a gasoline yacht, fully equipped and with fine furnishings, which is be- lieved to be worth at least $10,000. She made_ her appearance first on Novem- ber 25, a few hundred yards off shore, near the property of Wilbur Walbert, in Kent county. Walbert watched the vessel for sev- eral days and noticed that there were no signs of life aboard her. On De- cember 2, there was a heavy blow and the yacht, torn from her anchor- age, drifted ashore. Walbert boarded her and found no one. After making repairs he succeeded in floating the vessel and towing her into deep water. He then filed a libel in the United States Court, claiming salvage. = salary and allowances of ent of the Frewch The sresid THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, JANUARY 22, WASHINGTON 1921 —PART 1. Open 9AM.
