The theory of th members has been that their own pri- vate offices were no different from their dwellings and that it was no violation of the Volstead law actually to_drink an intoxicating liquor.

OBSERV- |Tut’s Neglect o Invest Cost Untold Wealth BALTIMORE, Md., February 24.— It has been estimated by Lord Car- narvon, discoverer of the tomb of Tutankhamen, that the total value of all objects found in the tomb is about $15.000,000. Somebody with a mathematical mind popped up in Baltimore and asked: “How much would that have amounted to if. instead of having’ been buried with the king 3.400 ¥ ago, it had been put out in afe 6 per cent bonds and com- pounded up to the present day?" Here is the answer: $14,25%.000,000,000,000,000,000,000 €00,000,000000,000.600,000.000,00 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,- 000.000. This is_the figure of Dr. John Rogers Musselman, assistant pro- fessor of mathematics at Johns | i 1 Hopkins University, but the figure of another well known mathemati- clan is: $4,800,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,~ 000,000,000,000,000 | 000.000.000,000,000,30 000,660,000,000. 1t should be explained that the latter is the larger sum. group is not numerically large. but its Support is nevertheless valuable, As for the prohibition officers of the executive branch of the government. they have no jurisdiction over the members of Congress; in fact, they are embarrassed by the fact that other officers of the government are not obeying the Volstead act. President” Harding has endeavored to correct this situation by his ex- hortations to officials to set an exam- ple to the rest of the nation. The knowledge that the President officially frowns upon violations of the Vol- stead act by officers of the govern- ment {5 beginning to percolate {through and will have an important effect on the situation before long. Indeed, things are far different today ifrom what they were two vears ago. There {s less drinking in public places orat semi-offical functions by officials of the government. Fake Liguor Disclosure. An important influence on the local {situation has been the disclosure of {fake lquor.

The principal person taken ikind today are served at the White| | it jeral months ago to abandou | sensed possible embarrassments H Watching Each Other. First, the embassies and legutions watch each other carefully and there is no telllng when one of them would be the means of telling about the gift-giving of the other. Broadly speaking, the giving of wines and liquors to American officials by their | embassy friends is not pra ed for any particular purpose, but there is always the chance that the influence of foreign governments mizht be ex- erted through such indirect methods on pending legislation or on acts of departmental officials, Congress itsel | has never taken official cognizance of | this, but recently the Housg has pass- ed a resolution inquiring of the De- partment of State as to the amount of liquor permitted to enter the! United States for use in embassies | and legations. Such information is| intended to develop whether a rea-| sonable or unreasonable supply is be-| ing imported. | Then there fs the question ofl whether the imported supply may be used in an embassy for entertainment purposss and for the ambassadors own table or whether it can be de-! livered to the homes, flats und apart- ments of the dozens of lesser attache who are usually included in the privi- leges of diplomatic immunity on the theory that they and their effects are | o part of the cmbassy household. | Congress may some day seek to T strict the meaning of diplomatic im- | munity in the United States, but the | chances are the Department of State will voluntarily work out the problem ! with the embassies and legations, 5o there will be no need of publicity or' controversy in Congress, Washington ftself is not a “dry city in the sense that western mu- nicipalities are. Being close to Mary- !and, where there isn't even a state enforcement act and where the gov- ernor is a “wet,” the opportunities for the liquor traffic are almost the same as in other eastern oities. Somb; of the biggest raids of the prohibition | cra have been staged in the National | Capital. Moonshine from the Vir- ginia hills comes in regularly. More | deceptions are practiced here, perhaps, than elsewhere. Use Embassy Bottle: i “Bootleggers” who have hered up empty bottles used by the em- bassies boldly proclaim that they are selling embassy liquor or else the pretend they have imported their goods through embassy influence Recent_ investigation of dozens of samples bought from “bootleggers” in | the District of Columbia revealed the | usual amount of diluted whisky and| poisoned substances. So far as the non-official class is concerned, it isi as much the victim of the “bootleg- | ger” trade as the population of ar | other city on the Atlantic seaboard. | though the police here are more ac- | tive in pursuing_‘“bootleggers” than is the case in other cities. As for the officfal class, the prohi-| bitlon organizations are trying by every subtle means in their power to persuade those higher up to set an example and practice self-restraint, so that the cry of hypocrisy raised outside of Washington shall not im- pede the development of a public sen- timent throughout the nation. There are, of course, those Who be- lieve that as the National Capital tightens up and liquor gets scarcer and scarcer the ruling class will be more appreciative of the demands of | the populace for a light beverage for table use. Whatever be the result| of law enforcement or obedience to the law on the part of those who make and administer the laws of America, the big development of th hour is that officials, high and low, are waking up to the fact that the eves of the nation are turned on them and that the gossip of the past ac- cusos them of failing to practice what they preach. Under such cir- cumstances the inevitable tendency | is to drink less conspicuously or not at all, and the absence of good liquor | is makirg the latter a matter of ne- | { | | cessity rather than choice.
