He regards prompt action necessary to save for the use of this state the .$812,000 of federal funds that have accumulated in the last three years, and he fears that the policy of the federal government may put a serious limitation on highway improvements, except on a relatively few roads that would be of special value in the promotion of the Avar.

Washington Sentries Have Many Amusing Encounters WASHINGTON. Contrary to general belief, the sentries guarding Washington's military establishments, bridges and public buildings are not automatons. They can and do saunter, talk, laugh and otherwise act like human beings. But not on duty. But

if you can chum up with the chap in khaki at an opportune time, you may be told some funny things all about strange prowlers seen on the midnight trick, sinister-seeming contrivances discovered under culverts, officers whose identity Is mistaken and other things. A few nights since a half-frozen sentry before the side gate of a big military establishment here beheld a solitary' and stooping figure creeping

along and eying the portal dubiously. This kept up several minutes, and finally the guard thought it time to interfere. He approached the suspect. "What do you want around here?" he asked after the sad-eyed person had halted, as directed, swaying slightly. "Wanna go on In house, but the oV woman ish waitinV forlornly replied the "suspect." "That's Uncle Sam's house, my friend," replied the sentry, seeing he had a "stew" and not a spy. " 'Sh my house," insisted the one with the "merry mucilage." "G'n tell it by front gate." It took ten minutes to persuade him that ho was wrong. There is a famous bridge near Washington where several months ago a man leaped down to his death. It is closely guarded, for it carries a big water main. Not long after the tragic occurrence, a night wanderer on the bridge came near losing his liberty when a guard saw him stop and commence searching carefully on the sidewalk. "Whaddye want, a good place to jump from or to put a bum?" queried the man in uniform. "I want my fountain pen I dropped; got a match?" was the answer. The pen was found soon, but remembering tales of explosive pens discovered in abandoned German trenches, the guard nearly wrecked the inkspiller before satisfied it was not full of T. N. T.

There is a strong reason for this. 8 If you feel that you must take home a typewriter now and then, please leave the desk. We can get new typewriters, but desks are hard to get. 9 -Just because they are using a lot of ammunition in Europe, don't think that you have to powder your nose every ten minutes. 10 Make the world safe for democracy; stop throwing milk bottles out of the windows. 11 As Abraham Lincoln said in his famous Gettysburg speech: "Eight Hours a day for the man who works, Seven hours a day for the government clerks." 12 Save a loaf a week. .Tust because you have a crust, don't say you can loaf around this office, even if you are well bred.

Her Darling Boy Was Only 0IT' ERE'S Illv darling boy!" VJ standing on Tenth street, just thoroughfare as fast as her feet would ner, and tins woman, too, set a hot pace in the direction of the afternoon promenade. When a woman suddenly yells out on a crowded thoroughfare, "Oh, there's my darling boy," you sort o' get interested in the darling one. When the two women got to F street they stepped across the sidewalk to the curb. There was an automobile standing there, with a young man and a dog ou the front seat. The woman in search of her dar

ling boy threw her arms around the neck of the dog and said: "Oh, you darling thing! You're the prettiest dog in town." The woman had a good eye for dogs. "What kind of a dog is he?" asked the woman. The chauffeur winked at the dog and replied calmly: "Mexican fish hound."

Mrs. Hoover's Cook Becomes an Ardent Hooverizer IN ALL the land no housewife follows more closely the rulings of the United States food administration than does Mrs. Herbert C. Hoover, wife of the food administrator. The Hoover cook, who has a wide reputation in most exclusive circles of Washington, was

sional pride the cook became under the direction and persuasion of Mrs. Hoover, as enthusiastic ove: producing delicious meals with the least possible outlay of wheat, meat, sugar and fats as the strictest "Hooverite" could wish. Almost every day is meatless day with the Hoovers, poultry, sea food or occasionally game replacing the beef or other meats that may be shipped across the sea. The servants, of course, have to have meat oftener, but for the family perhaps once a week, generally less frequently, there is a roast for dinner and what is left over is carefully utilized in some form for luncheon the next day. Sometimes a chop is provided ät that meal for the ten-year-old son, who is recovering from a recent illness. Meat is never bought for soups, which are made from vegetables or the parts of poultry not served the wing tips, feet, neck and gizzard. Not only are Tuesdays and Saturdays porkless days, but the other five days of the week as well, despite the confessed fondness of the food administrator for his breakfast bacon. Pork, either as ham, bacon, sausage, lard or in other forms, never enters the big red brick house on Massachusetts avenue, where the Hoovers are domiciled. For cooking various vegetable oils or other substitutes are used for lard and butter.
