This objection, kowever. should not We permitted to deluy authorization of the construction program. The gov- ernment needs these buildings urgent- ly. It is paying heavily in rents for privately owned quarters that are not adequate in size or accommodations, are not so located as to promote de- partmental efficiency and do not solve the government's building problem. With the addition of four working buildings and a structure for the storage of archives a great advance will be made toward the attainment of the satisfactory outtit for the pub- lice service that has been so long lacking. True economy demands immediate beginning upon such & program. The proposed expenditure will be spread | over a number of years, and the sum ! now paid in rentals annually will go far toward meeting the cost.

Early History of Important Civic Development. The parking of the Anacostia flats goes on but slowly. yet the comple- tion of the undertaking can be fore- seen. It may be said that Potomac Park was not made In & day or in a &eneration. To many persons the ne cessity of converting the Anacostia river into a park was regrettable. It was & river of width, depth and shoreline beauty; and rivers are few, while land available for park uses is common in the District and the Maryland counties of Prince Georges and Montgomery. But the erosion of the hills and sandy shore lands, ihe short-sight of man in making sewers of rivers, the dredging of the navy yard channel and the dumping of the dredged mud in the shallows of th Anacostia made its “reclamation,” or filling in, unaveidable. Due to the progress of the reclamation work, that part o. the District has been much changed, and a fair park, with a broad, deep strip of water on its northern side and a number of clear lakes, will be a vast improvement. _The beginning of agitation for fill- ing in “the flats” goes further back in our history than many persons know.

Speaking of bathtubs, as every one is nowadays when house-hunting, did it ever occur to you that in grand- fathers day there wasn't a house in the city of Washington that had a tub? Sixty years ago less than a dozen Washington residences were equipped with stationary bathtubs. Bathing then was discouraged. Boston had a law against bathing in the winter. In Philadelphis, any one taking a bath between November and April Was|one of the stalwarts in the organiza- subject to a fine. tion.

But her husband refused. “They are too busy, for one thing, he said, “and I don’t want to start a precedent, for another. Mrs. Baker sent for Frank Jones, The chief of the Boy Scouts of America, James E. West, protests that it is not fair for the government to spend $6,000.000 on taking care of the pigs of the country and only half a million on the boys and’ girls. He should remember that “pigs is pigs” and soon become fat enough to kill, while boys and girls develop only into men and women and run for tie presidency or for Congress. And 80 why expect the government to in- vest as much in one as the other animal? a fixed weight of gold or trying to make the gold elastic to keep pace with the = market quotations ~ on onions and salt, cabbages and kings. The Einsteln theory of relativity will perhaps be useful in making a!l things simple when the débaters get at the true inwardness of elastic yardsticks as compared with gutta percha or brass. Under the mew basls we may no longer read that wheat closed on the Minneapolis market at $2.07%. but rather that wheat remained wheat—"as good asx gold"—and that the gold dollar soid yesterday was sold for twenty-seven pounds of wheat, No. 1 northern, and that United States bonds of $100 par commanded ®0 many more penny- weights of depreciated gold than they did last week.
