MTIQNAi OMTÄI AFFAIBS

Have Been Scenes WASHINGTON'. Like the Home of old, Washington has its road of fame, its Appian way. On Pennsylvania avenue, familiarly known to Washingtonians as "the Avenue,' some of the most notable events of our national history have occurred. Here pased the conquering hosts of the country's brave, as in lWt. 1S08 and 101S. Here, too, march with the halting step that tells of age and feebleness, the veterans of internecine strife. Along the same way Presidents ride to take the oath of office. One of the twain hears the cheers with restrained gladness, the other knows a bitterness he cannot conquer as he rellects'on the "changes and chances of this mortal life." Another celebrated avenue is Connecticut avenue. In the spring the display there of dress and wealth rivals that of the famous Fifth avenue in New York city. On this street are legations, both splendid and imposing of great sister nation and stately homes of famous men and wmen. It is the most cosmopolitan

A TTOltNKY General Daugherty, in an opinion now being drafted for the guidance of ail members Of the cabinet, hold that the old law of 1S7.' forbidding former officials from appearing before government departments in cases which are pending (luring iheir terms is sufficiently drastic when placed parallel with other statutes to insure penalties for practitioners who would abue their former connections. The Department of Justice, it was said, now holds that passage of lite 1'dmonds bill, pending in Hie house, providing amendments to the law of IS". in the shape of lines and jail terms, is not necessary to a more complete readjustment of the rules of procedure governing practice of lawyers before the departments. As a result of this opinion, therefore, department heads immediately will direct the chiefs- of divisions in all branches of government activity that hereafter the appearance of former otficials of the government in cases which may have arisen when they were in office can be made the basis for drastic action in the

Engineers Seek Uniform Boiler Law

"yj. iü f FA1I.UKI-: to regulate the steam boiler has cost the United States thousands of lives and miliums of dollars, according to a statement issued by tho American Society of Mechanical Knineers. which, through its Lailer code committee, is seeking to bring about uniform standards in this country. The statement pointed out that 20 states are joining in a nationwide movement to lessen the industrial accidents by eliminating the dangers that lie hidden in the steam boiler, called by engineers, more dangerous than dynamite. "In the boiler code of the American SiK'iety of Mechanical Kngineers the country has a standard worthy of Ship Board Starts HIPS owned and controlled by the I nited States shipping board ar' to be thoroughly Americanized, as j are all the district and foreign offices of the board, it has been announced. Changes in the personnel of the board and the men aboard ships soon will probably make the entire force employed by the shipping board 100 per cent American. Wherever it is possible to obtain services of an American, It will be done. The hoard now is conducting an investigation of the clerical forces at home and the men aboard ships to see what cuts will be necessary to bring about the desired change. The change will also probably bring about a severe cut In the personnel of the shipping board and he Emergency Fleet corporation, deduction in the number of employees will be made gradually after investigation.

street in Washington. Even the African race has a representative there. As neighbor to a marble mansion Is the modest home of a darkey pater tamlllas, whose little ebony children tumble and play, all undisturbed by the vicinity of their fashionable neighbors. The stranger in Washington would conclude, strolling along V street, that it resembled a country street more than the main artery of the capital of a vast nation. Here and there are passers-by leisurely sauntering and chatting, but nowhere is there congestion of the ordinary large city. No crowds. Ah, wait a minute! It is 4:00 and the clocks around toll out the half hour. The doors of the government buildings open. Out pours u throng of men and women, and all in a mad rush for home. In this crowd the man from Connecticut may find an. old neighbor or boyhood chum. One from Texas, too, could find old friends here. With the soft insistence of the southern tongue mingles the nasal twang of the "down Käst" Yankee. IJut there is grod comradeship. Uncle Sam provides for that. He insists that ''polities and-religion should not he discussed in mixed company' The streets of Washington present an interesting study in nomenclature. It is rather amusing to discover a street with a long name sometimes, but an alleyway named after some hero of American history, who would disown 'the passageway If he but knew it. ATTORNEY si CM PRAMS o way of penalties that may be applied in the discretion of the head of a particular department. Officials of the Department of Justice estimated that at least ."00 lawyers, now stationed in Washington ami elsewfiere, will be affected by the new ruling. Most of the attorneys whose, practice deals with department claims, or other litigation of that character, are here. Many who are not quartered in local office buildings are members of firms which have been established for some time. Not a few of the linns which are to be hit by orders now to be issued have only been operating since the close of the Wilson administration. general acceptance," said the statement. "If all boilers were made in accordance to well-known principles, boiler explosions would be of rare occurrence. "In an effort to secure the universal adoption of this code in lliis country the Uniform Holler Law society lias been organized and lias done a great ileal more owl than shows in the lisis of stales and municipalities that have actually adopted the ciwle, in promulgating an understanding of it ami creating a sentiment in its favor that will result in a rapid falling into line of the remaining states when the line is a little more pronouncedly established." The statement indicated that the National Hoard of Holler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors is working on several problems designed to preclude boiler explosions. These include an interstate inspection and the stamping of boilers by the manufacturers. The latter plan is intended primarily to keep a record of a boiler from the time it leaves the manufacturing plant until it is scrapped. Ousting of Aliens ' v i has had several talks witn noard officials and Is saidto be in thorough accord with the policy of making the personnel of the board 100 per cent American. One of the first offices to be Investigated and probably one of the first in which a shake-up will take place Is tho London office of the board, where Americans will be Installed to handle the work now done by P.rltishers working for the shipping board. It was said the force of the London office will be cut and that an effort will be made to have all the employees Americans.
