Henry U. Johnson s machine gun style., of oratory while a member of Congress is still well remembered by the corps ' of stenographers of the House of Representatives, in Washington. Attorney Johnson, of Richmond, who is widely known in Washington, even talked faster, when he was a member of Congress, . than Billy Sunday, the rapid fire evangelist, who spoke in the House of Representatives the other day. The evangelist prayed for two and ane one-half minutes, and there were 619 words in his prayer, which is slightly more than 247 words a minute. Johnson talked at the rate of 230 words a minnte when he was in Congress, and "kept it up for hours," according -to Fred Irland, dean of the House stenographic corps, .as. he is quoted in the Washington Times. The following is reprinted from the Washington newspaper: "Mr. Sunday is a fast talker, but he is not the most rapid speaker to talk from the floor of the House, in my experience here, which covers twentyseven years." said Irland. "Taking them all as they come, the House corps can report speeches as fast as they can make them. "The worst man to report in my experience was Henry U. Johnson of Indiana. He used to talk at the rate of 230 words a minute, and keep it up for hours. And he spoke frequently, too." Metz Sets Record. "The greatest speed that I recall was stained by Congressman 'Met?;,

of New York. He delivered 250 words a minute, but his speeches were rarely over five, minutes in length, and he did not speak often. - "The average rate of the House is about 150 words a minute, which means that the speeches will vary from 100 words up to 225 words a minute. And, of course, the rate of a given man's delivery wil vary with the intensity of his thought- ' "President Wilson talks at about 115 words a minute. His enunciation is clear and his delivery steady. Speaker Clark is a deliberate talker as was the late Speaker Reed.

On The Boards

"So Long Letty." the musical play which comes to Washington tonight, is entirely different from the usual run of musical comedies. The producers, Oliver Morosco, is a native of California and he has made this a California play. The scenes are laid in California, the story deals with dwellers in the "horse car colony," which is distinctive to the Pacific coast and the chorus is made up entirely of young women from the Golden West. And as another unusual feature for a musical comedy, the offering has very much of a plot in fact, the story is taken from a successful farce, "His Neighbor's Wife," by Elmer Harris, one of the co-authors with Mr. Morosco in making the musical version.

RELIEF FROM

Continued From Page One. night. It was the first train to leave for Dayton since Friday afternoon. Service on the G. R. and I was at a standstill until Sunday evening, when train No. 6 from Grand Rapids, which was due at Richmond early Saturday morning, was able to get out of a drift near Lynn,. Ind. It arrived in Richmond at 7 o'clock Sunday evening. This was the first train to reach

! Richmond on this road since Friday.

Worst They Ever Saw. Conductors and other trainmen who have been in service for many years say that the blizzarad and its results was the worst they have ever experienced. One conductor had been out all night. - No freight has been moved since the storm tied up all of the lines. It is probable that it will take several days for schedules to revert to normal. Postmaster Beck said there were only four mail trains here Sunday. The mail came on the eastern trains. There were no trains west from Chicago, none from Grand Rapids. Rural Mall Carriers Start. As the rural carriers were unable to leave Richmond Saturday morning the

mail . was heavier than had been expected Monday morning when they

started out to make their first delivery

since Friday. The postmaster said, "I am expect

ing the rural carriers in most any time now for I am sure they cannot get

very far."

Mail for Richmond was very light

Monday and Postmaster Beck said

there would be no trobule in making

delieveries. Most Churches Closed.

A number of smaller picture houses closed Sunday but the Murray, Mur-

rette and Washington did business. "Most of the Richmond churches postponed services Sunday. There were no services at the South Eighth Street Friends, St. Paul's Episcopal, United

Brethren,. Reid Memorial, West Richmond Friends and Second English Lutheran church. The other churches held services in the morning. The Western Union Telegraph company was a busy place all day Sunday. Manager Ryan said business is usually so light on Sunday that only a few employes work. Sunday all the employes werewere busy. The company has wires from Colum

bus, Cincinnati and Indianapolis and is doing all its Chicago business by these lines. "We have experienced Tery little wire trouble," said Manager Ryan. "However there is much congestion in the west and northwest. We have no complaint whatever to make."

EATING OF MORE POTATOES URGED TO SAVE WHEAT

Food Administration Asks Americans to Utilize Big Crop. WASHINGTON, Jan. 14. The eating of more potatoes for supper, or for luncheon if the family is accustomed to have dinner at night, Is a suggestion of the United States Department of Agriculture, in order that the tremendous crop of tubers produced in the United States this year may be utilized as fully as possible and spoilage avoided. Such increased use should, at the same time, bring about a saving of grain since one common result of eating more potatoes is the eating of less wheat bread, which is a reasonable suggestion when one remembers that both of them are used as a source of starch in the diet. This reduction In grain cor.?jmption is desirable, the department points out, and there is great need of grain for shipment to our soldiers and to the soldiers and civilians of other countries engaged with us in the war against Germany. Many Different Forms. The use of more potatoes for luncheon should be a simple matter, in the opinion of specialists of the Department of Agriculture, since practically all Americans like potatoes and since there are numerous ways in which the tubers may be prepared to avoid a sameness in the diet. Potatoes, even in their simplest forms baked and boiled make good luncheon dishes. They may also be used for making a variety of dishes, such as creamed and escalloped potatoes, with or without cheese; stuffed potatoes; potato croquettes, and so on. Combinations dishes, such as hash, stews, meat pies with potato crust, and bo on, in which a considerable amount of potatoes is used with other foods, may constitute practically an entire luncheon, being hearty enough to -serve for the purpose with a little salad or fruit or 6weets. - The following recipes for potato dishes are a few of the many which the housewife will find useful in preparing supper or luncheon : -Panned Potatoes. Cut cold boiled potatoes into quarter-inch slices; dredge lightly with flour and fry in pan with a little butter. When light brown, heap on side of pan; let sand a few minutes, then loosen with a knife and turn out on a platter in much the same way that an omelet is taken out. Sprinkle with salt and serve at once. Potato and Pork Stew. ' Three or 4 slices salt pork cut in small pieces, 4 medium-sized potatoes, 1 onion, cup water, teaspoon salt, teaspoon pepper. Fry the pork" in a deep frying pan until it is light brown; then to the pork add the potatoes cut in- inch slices, and thinly sliced onion and seasonings. Add the water, cover closely and cook until the potatoes and onions are soft. The mixture should be stirred occasionally in order that the park and vegetables may be thoroughly mixed. The "stew," as it was called in old times for it is an old fashioned dish should b moist but not thin. Scalloped Potatoes. Wash and pare potatoes; let them soak for a half hour, and cut in -inch slices. Butter a baking dish, put in a layer of the sliced potatoes, sprinkle with salt and pepper, dredge with flour and dot over with tablespoon of putter. (A little grated cheese may be sprinkled over each layer if desired). Repeat until the baking dish is nearly filled, then cover with hot milk. Bake li hours in a moderate oven, or place on the back of the stov and cook slowly. Potato Salad. Cut cold boiled potatoes into halfinch cubes and season with salt and pepper, or a few drops of onion juice if desired. Heap in a mound in a salad dish and pour over all a cooked salad dreeing; and, if one wishes, garnish around edge with a circle of lettuce and hard-boiled eggs. For variety add to 2 cupfuls of potato one-half cupful of diced cold boiled beet and 2 tablespoons chopped parsley or cheese; carrots and a little chop.

ped celery leaf may be used if preferred. Many cooked or canned left-over vegetables may be attractively used for salads. Diced turnips and carrots are often used in potato salad. Left-over beans, peas, etc., with finely diced potato, may be used to fill tomato cups and served with any preferred dressing. Cooked Salad Dressing. Two eggs, 3 tablespoonfuls vinegar, 3 tablespoonfuls water (cold), Vz teaspoonful salt, 2 teaspoonfuls sugar, teaspoonful mustard, if desired. Beat the eggs until light," then add salt, sugar, mustard, water and vinegar and beat thoroughly. Cook over boiling water until thick, stirring constantly. Pour the hot dressing over the cold potatoes, and set away until cold. If preferred one can let the dressing get cold before using it, and this is best if other vegetables are used with the potato.
