TOWORK AT N ONREORGANIZATION Senator Smoot Announces Program of the Joint Con- gressional Committee. Senator Reed Smoot of U h de- clared today that night sesslons three times ‘a week will constitute the working program of the joint cea- gressional committee on reorgani: tion of the government departments. Stating emphatically that the com- mittee will do its own work and not turn the detatls over to the United States bureau of efliclency or any other agency, Senator Smoot indicated that regular meetings of the commit- tee might begin during the recess. Formal organization, Senator Smoot stated, would be effected before the close ‘of this session, in order that preliminary meetings could be held during the recess to map out a course ot action. Will Do Its Own Work. The novel plan of three night ses- sions a week will mean that the new committee will get down to hard work, and, unlike many other con- gressional committees, will not call in “ex to do the “truck horse ThiE Store Is Closed — ut the year, with the exception of July and August, when it is closed all day i Saturdays.

But this committee will do its own work, if I have anything to do with it. Senator Smoot indicated that the committee, of which he is most likely to be chairman, will not confuse re- classification with _reorganization. | “These issues are not the same thing,” he said. Much Information Ready. The bureau of efficiency will have a vast store of information ready for the reorganizers. Herbert D. Brown, chief of the bureau, told representative of The Star today that his bureau has been collecting such material for the past year and 2 half. Mr. Brown's idea is that reclassi- fication is in a sense a component part of reorganization of the depart- ments, and it seemed his belief that Senator Reed Smoot would So.re- gard it. Mr. Brown said that he would be glad to help the reorganization com- mittee with all the data his bureau has collected and also gmive it the Dbenefit of the reclassificatin material he has gathered.

Far from the thzongs which loll about the peacockalleys of effete hotels and Broadway's daintiest tom~ rooms each afternoon, soven sturdy men partook of nearly & thous cups of tea in the workaday en- vironment of & government ware- house. Scores _of samples were offered these official connolsseurs. They sniffed, sipped, tasted and then used n glgantic cuspidor for a tar- get, They determined whether each spocimen had enough or too much_theine, sometimes known as @ kick. The Beven of them com- posed the United Btates board of tea experts. One member of tho board came from each of the fol- lowing cities: New York, Boston, Charleston, San Francisco, Tacoma, Chicago and Bt. Paul. Each year they choose eight minimum standards, and no tea below the fixed quality, purity or fitness for consumption may be im= ported. ; Tea, they exclalmed between tasts is the superb ' stimulant. It keys up the brain without caus= ing remorseful hang-over. Swiss guldes favor it and Peary drank it exclusively in his final dash for the pole. Furthermore, they said, tea is just as cheap now aw twenty- five or fifty years ago. 000015 SOUGHT FORY. W.C.A. WORK Responsibility Put on Individ- ual Member and Subscriber in Campaign Just Begun. Individual responsibility on the part of both members and subscribers, a responsibility taking the tangible form of a pledge for financial sup- port, is the keynote of an intensive drive just undertaken by the Y. W. % A. of the District to raise the difference between the estimated in- come and estimated expenses of the organization for 1921. This tentative difference amounts to $40,000. “To you who have been a friend and subscriber to our work for girls in this city, we are making an ap- peal for a continuation of your in- terest and help,” runs a letter which was sent out last night to every former gubscriber to the funds of the assoclation, and which is signed by Mrs. John C. Letts, chairman of the 'An inclosed folder made in the past amplifi- finance committee. shows the progre: twelve months, styling the. cation and increase of the ac- tivities “dividends on the amount in- vested” by the subscriber heretofore. Attention is directed to last year's subscription, and the hope i8 ex- pressed that the association again can count on the recipient's assistance in making it a yet greater influence for the girls from all parts of the coun-! try to whom it ministers here. In another letter signed by Mrs. Robert Lansing, corresponding secre tary, every member of the association is appointed a member of a “special finance committee” in charge of rais- ing the needed budget funds. The di- rectors say that they feel sure the member will willingly assume a defin- ite responsibility in sharing the finan- cigl obligations the association, and to this end aske for an individual pledge of $5 or for the procurement of | | five new members, dues from whom would total the same sum. “If every member does her part,” Mrs. Lansing writes, “it will not be necessary for us to haye a finance campalign this spring.” Returns from both sources are to be made on or be- fore February 22. A tea held yesterday at headquar- ters, 1333 F street northwest, at- téended by some 200 women and girls, at which Miss Gertrude MacArthur of the national board and “Miss Pearl Trench of England were guests of honor, marked the formal beginning of this “drive which is intended to do away with a drive.
