But it seems to be getting no-where. One of the details of the plan la to abolish the Department of the In-terior and establish In Its place a De-partment of Public Works, In which would be grouped the constructive ac-tivities of the various departments, the other activities of the department to be transferred as seems fitting. The plan has been worked out to the last detail. , The American Engineering council of New York Is getting Impatient for action. The council, composed of fed-erated engineering societies through-out the country, makes public Its off-icial view that ttie Department of the Interior Is an "outworn organization, which, owing to the employment of methods current in early days. Is an-nually wasting millions of dollars." Engineers of International promi-nence In the council are urging that the department be abolished. They suggest that the supervision of public works be in one groirp, to eliminate duplication, and that the various bureaus and subagencies be regrouped Into other departments. At present the secretary of the Interior does everything, he council says, "frbin running hospitals, an Institu-tion for the deaf and a university, to keeping the Indians sober." In order to conduct its campaign more effectively the council lias organ-ized a congress of engineers to meet annually In Washington, together with an administrative board and an execu-tive committee. The president of the council is former Gov. James Hart-nes- s of Vermont, who hopes that the engineers can give the government technical advice at all times. "Because of the Tenpot Dome In-vestigation Interest In the administra-tion of the public lands has been heightened," Mr. Hartness said. "Un-der the engineering plan of reorgani-zation nine of the ten agencies having public land functions would be con-solidated under one departmental au-thority, so that these closely related matters may have a common Jurisdic-tion and not be distributed among three federal departments, as at pres-ent." The first meeting of the new admin-istrative board will be held In Phila-delphia May 23 and 24. At these ses-sions the public works plan and nu-merous other national questions, In-cluding reforestation, will be dis-cussed.

I told ner I would be the happi-est woman on eBrth if I could become a mother, but I always had terrible cramps, backaches and headaches. She then told me of a woman sr s knows who took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for the same troubles and it helped her greatly. I took about a half bottle and found that the following month I did not suffer any pain, so I kept on taking it I have a wonderful baby boy six months old and he is at strong and fat as any one could wish a baby to be. I still take the Vegetable Com-pound regularly because I have looked fine all the time and felt fine and my mother told me that was the reason. I will be glad tohave you publish my testimonial with my name and ad-dress." Mrs. Edward Werbeck, 1824 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn, N.Y. Free From Old Trouble Auburn, Maine. "I suffered with Inward weakness for ten years and had doctored all this long time but never got any help. One day I saw my siBter and she told me of Lydia E. Pinkham'a Vegetable Compound and I went and got me a bottle of it I took two bottles and a half and I was just as free from my old troubles as I could be, I bad only one child and I was afraid that I could never have any more, for I had been told that I never could have a living child for I was not strong enough to carry one. But they were mistaken and I had anice baby boy and now I have five children. I can't praise your medi-cine enough. My youngest sister has taken it, too, and praises it" - Mrs. G. L. Wiswell, 43 Mechanics Row, Auburn, Maine. These cases are similar to many others reported to us. It is well for women to carefully consider such statements and to give Lydia E.

When he hud seen all there was to see, George said to his companion : "Now we'll go for a Joy Vide ,In one of the machines." "I may be but I don't care very muph for going on a trip in one of these new-fangle- d things," re-plied Jim. "Oh, don't be n fool!" laughed the other. "Why, you may live to see air-planes running like omnibus services I" "Yes, I may, If I keep out of them," was the cautious reply. Why Is Washington a "Deadly Dump"? a letter today that delighted 11IAD writes Clinton W. "The Dally Mirror of Wash-ington," Philadelphia Public Led-ger. I reproduce It here without the name of the writer, since It was pe-rsonalIn spite of the fact that I have had to sacrifice my natural modesty by putting It Into print. It is: ' "Your dally column is a pip. Any guy who can write interesting stuff dully from that deadly dump deserves a' diamond medal." The writer la a famous cartoonist. Now, why is Washington a "deadly dump?" Just because the crushing hand of uniformity has pressed It Into the pulp It now Is. When I first came to the capital a few years ago there were picturesque personalities still left In the senate and the house. There was Ollle James, bigger ttian any two men ought to be, with his frog's mouth, his gargantuan appetite, his rollicking humor, the source of endless stories. There was Boles Pen-rose, another giant, with his feudal lord's contempt for the virtue of re-spectability and a great stomach for ! life. There were John Sharp Wil liams, Jim Marline and Uncle Joe Cannon at his best, and a little before that was the picturesque though really very regular and proper Theodore Roosevelt. These are only a few. Who Is there now that It's really fun to write about? I asked Russell Barnes, wtio knows the house well, the other day, "Is there a picturesque or Interesting or outstanding figure In the house?" lie thought a long time, "Well," he replied, "there's (I've forgotten his name already), who wears his hair a little longer than most people do." Why, I can't even think of a big man like Ollle James or Boles Penrose. It seems as if the collective will to make everybody ex-actly alike was even exercising its ef-fect upon the pituitary glands. There isn't a really fat man so far as I know. Of course, there Is Jim Reed wlio Is a personality. But I'm going to tell him right now that Jim Reed will pay for his personality' by not being nomi-nated for the presidency. Caraway has a quaint, savorsome backwoods-nes- s about hhn.

Detroit News. Wasp Was the First to Make Paper From Pulp The principle of paper making from wood pulp hns been In use by the hum-ble wasp for several thousands of years. The ordinary wasp's nest is con-structed of papier mache. In its con-struction the queen of the swarm utilizes the "modern" method of con-verting woody tissue Into thin sheets. She constructs a cluster of five or six cells from the frayed fiber from weather-beate- n boards or dead trees, Entertaining "I've been reading a good deal about this ere new game of Mah-Jongg-said old Ulley Itezzldew of Petunia.

Fifty Postal Bills Are Before Congress to some general SUBMISSION as a congressional of all projKisals af-fecting Increases In salaries and rfionges In conditions of employment Involving Increases In pay for postal service workers was recommended by Postmaster General Harry S. New to Chairman Grist of the post office cym-niltt-of the house In a letter made public. Sir. New pointed out thnt there are more thnn fifty postal bills now pend-ing In congress and It was probable a readjustment for the whole service along lines provided In the bills would Involve an Increase annually of $150,-000,00- In addition, he said, there are a number of bills proposing a re-duction of postage rates. Certain classes of employees are not provided for In the bills, Mr. New said, and any readjustment of salaries must necessarily Include the whole postal establishment. Consideration of the proposals for Increases as wholly separate from the fiscal condition of the Post Office de-partment seemed to him Impracticable and an Increased expenditure ap-proaching that Involved would render one of two things Inevitable either to Increme the rates of postage or to meet It as other expenses are met, by draft on the general treasury. The postmaster general said the deficit for the present fiscal year la now estimated at $.'10,000,000. Sugges-tions that the Increases could be met by a revision of postage rates, espe-cially upon fourtli-clas- s (parcel post) matter, he asserted, were not based on reliable Information which would Jus-tify them. A detailed cost ascertainment, data for which Is being checked, arraneed and tabulated, will be ready with-in a few months, he said, adding that no readjustment of postage rates or fees for special services could be made Intelligently until this report had been concluded. Readjustment of salaries, he de-clared, should not be made until It Is possible to determine their probable effect on postage rates. C. P. Fr nclscus, president of the United National Association of Post Otfice Clerks, declared In a statement that the clerks should not be disheart-ened over reports of opposition by 'resident Coolldge as well as Mr. New to salary Increases at this time. Postal saa:Ies need not lie paid from tax revenues, Mr. Franclscus In-sisted with reference to the Presi-dent's objections, but should be pro-vided through a revision of postnge rates, especially on parcel post mat-ter, which, he asserted, are "absurdly low" as compared with express charges. Both the future and the past are near relations to the present. New Boast for the California Boosters Native Sons have CALIFORNIA'S record on which state of their birth. A bulletin Issued by the Department of Agriculture announces that the high-Jum- record for fleas Is held by a California flea. The Cali-fornia Infect also holds the hrond-Jum- p record. The department has neg-lected to state the name and pedigree of this flen, but does give that of the scientist who reported upon 1ilm- - a distinguished entomologist named Mitzmim. The high-Jum- rerord Is Inches and the broad-Jump- , 1.1 Indus. The btirenu of entomology has pnld a good deal of attention to flcns, Imt apparently has done so reluctantly, for It prefaces Its moKt comprehensive report on the subject with the state-ment tlmt "fleas lnne forced them-selves en man's attention for many centuries." The report notes that Ileus are annoying to mankind and are a source of eoiiHlilernhle worry to ilot;s and other animals. Rut It also Is stated that their presence Is more e- - Y rlous than mere annoyance ; they are carriers of disease germs, particularly of the piHgue. Leprosy and other dis-eases also are declared to be trace-able to the annoying flea. The government scientists did a thorough Job of Investigating fleas af-ter they had forced themselves on their attention. They discovered that there are more than too different va-rieties of this tiny, predatory Insect and that some creatures, notably rnts, may be Infected with at least twenty dlffereut species. Tliere are only two kinds which usually pay any attention to man, for-tunately. These qre the human flea which has the Impressive Latin namn of pnlex trritans. and the dog flea, ctenoeephrilus canus. The flen Is produced from ect's of which some 450 are laid every d iy by the female Insect. From two to twelve itays are reiiilreI for the hatching of these enss. When first hatched the Ilea Is not very active, lacking eyes and let;s. Of course thess embryo creatures art err small |
