—— : powder for making ice cream, ‘THE EVENING _ There is a “big six” of House em- ployes—veteranservants—whoseyears of faithful service added together would extend back about half a cen- tury before the Constitution was rati- fied. These six men have served a total of 179 years, as follows: William Tyler Page. a clerk of the House, thirty-nine vears. WILLIAM TYLER PAGE. Elliott Woods, superintendent of the Capitol building and grounds, thirty- six years. Joseph Ro arms of the Hous Bert W. Kennedy, ty-ome years. : John H. Hollingsworth, chief clerk, twenty-nine years. Frank W. Collier, postmaster, thir- teen years. In their appointment. the House for the first time gave these positions to old employes on account of efficient service—and they come from states well scattered over the map—Page from Maryland, Woods from Indiana, Rodgers from Pennsylvania, Kennedy from Michigan, Hollingsworth from New York and Collier from Wiscon- sin. William Tyler Page is the first old employe ever chosen clerk. The office has usually been filled by a former member. Champ Clark accuses him of having been born in the Capitol. As a matter of fact, he came as a Elliott Woods_first came under the big dome as a House employe in 1885. Bert Kennedy came in the Fifty-first Congress as_a page, and now has all the pages uflder him. “Joe" Rodgers came in at the same | time, and was at first on the Capitol police force, and now one-half of the hc‘apltol police force is appointed by im. “Johnny" Hollingsworth came in the Fifty-second Congress, also as a page. He was a House clerk for more than twenty years, and it was his work that brought about the creation of pair clerks, as the House increased from 357 to 435 members. He is still considered the expert on pairs. Frank W. Collier came in as a page and was later a messenger in the House post office, where now he is Postmaster. Recently the enlarged eppropriations committee did him the honor of saying he is the best post- Mmaster—for services rendered—of any in the recollection of Congress. Of the hundreds of business men who have testified before the ways and means committee seeking guidance preliminary to tariff revision, proba- bly no one proved more interesting than did a_colored man—George W. Carver of Tuskegee. Ala—appearing at the request of the United Peanut Association. Mr. Carver had a box from which he brought forth all Sorts of commodities made from pea- nuts as an_object lesson for 'the committee. He only had ten minutes’ time and so could not take as many things from his box as he promised to later. “This crushed cake.” he said, “has many possibilities—for flours and meals and breakfast foods. Then we have the hulls ground into a meal for burnishing tin plate. Next there is an interesting confection—peanuts covered with chocolate. Here is a breakfast food. a_combination of the two greatest products God has given us—the peanut and the sweet po- tato. If all the other vegetable food- Stuffs were destroyed a perfectly balanced ration with all the nutri- ment in it could be made with the sweet potato and the peanut. From the sweet potato we get starches and carbohvdrates and from the pea- nut we get all the muscle-building Pproperties.” Again. he showed a peanut bar with the binder made from sweet potato sirup. He showed the pea- nut stock food, and peanut meal for eandies. doughnuts, gingerbread, etc. He showed peanut hearts for feeding plgeons, a new peanut combination “far ahead of any flavoring yet found for ice cream,” he said. He showed f about thirty dyes made from the lit- ! breakfast foods. tie skins that come off the peanuts, and more than a dozen kinds of He told the com- mittee that milk is being extracted from peanuts. He showed punches with orange, lemon and cherry. He showed evaporated milk and Worces- tershire sauce, a bottle of curds to be worked into fancy cheeses and samples of salad oils. “The sweet potato products now number 107. The peanut products are going to beat the sweet potato by far” he sald. Almost anything the committee asked for he produced from his magic box—even to a bottle of ink, hair oil, varnish, This witness was a student at the Iowa Agricultural College and for I o T | | The Early Bird | Breakfasts Well E morning freshness i s in’the milk, %3 cream and eggs, its crispness in the toast and bacon; its promise in the savor of the coffee and .. flavor of the disc cakes, those brown luscious ones with the tantaliz- ing taste of golden griddle h o m e-mades. * Toast fresh from our single service toaster —no warmed overs, | each slice evenly done. .

THE HAGUE, February 19.— The American consuls in the embarka- tion ports of northern Kurope have asked the State Department in Wash- ington to synchropize the ex passport vise stahdards of tral European consulates with their embarkation inspection standards in order to avoid the tragic separation | barkation.

This synchronization of regula- tions, officials here say, is particu- larly necessary now in view of the typhus outbreak.

MEXICO CITY, February 19.—Sal- (| vador Atvarado, former secretary of the treasury, announced to the news- paper men that he was working on a manifesto to the Mexican people, to be issued shortly, calling for the or- ganization of the “Mexican socialist party,” which would take an active part in politics. Senor Alyarado denied that he was rebellious against the present gov- ernment in his ambjtions, or that he had any idea of working for the es- tablishment of a soviet in Mexico, as some of the newspapers have charged.
