ISKED IB HOUSE
Nation's Offices Overflow With
Exhibits, Cumbering Halls and
Using Needed Desk Space.
By JONATHAN WINFIELD
WASHINGTON, I>*r. 6 Govern-
merit departments. in Washington
within the next few years will resem
ble aw curiosity shop. If the pres
» nt rate Is kept up In accumulating
antiques and curios. Although the
National Museum, the United States
Museum, the Smithsonian Institu
tion, Medical Museum and Congres
sional Library are filled with things
that are of interest to the visitors,
each Government department has Its
own little museum or collection which
it strings along its corridors for the
benefit of tourists In some of the
buildings there is not space enough
to show the collections that have been
gathered and they have overflown to
the storage rooms in the basements of
the building*.
To remedy this plans are afoot for
building a great Hall of Records. Con
gress has been asked to give the need?
ed funds.
In the War Department, for In
stance, the upper floors of the big
building are crowded with exhibits
of all kinds. Not only can one see the
various uniforms worn by the sol-,
licrv of the United States Govern
ment at different periods from pre-
Revolutionary days to the present
t ine, but one can see exhibits of the
v ulptors work and models of the de
ft rises of t lie United States along the
oasts and inland waters, as well as
of battleships.
All of these exhibits are placed In
the corridors of the buildings, usual
ly on the ti p floor, this part of the
building not being used to the extent
“f the low<°r floors.
Portraits Adorn Walls,
in the State Department wing of
the State, War and Navy Building the
portraits of former Secretaries of
War, of Senators and foreign diplo
mats adorn the walls of the Secre
tary of State’s office and of tlie offices
.»f his subordinates. In one instance
the picture of a foreign diplomat has
Seen relegated to the messengers'
i non),
On the Navy side, the corridors are
tilled with models of the first and
last step in uiav.il areniteebure ami
const rm-tion. The model of “Old
Ironsides" looks like a penny sail
boat of childhood days alongside the
modern dreadnought an typified by
the model of the Wyoming, which
stands just outside of the main en
trance to Secretary Daniels’ office.
Submarines, aeroplanes, wireless
- ruisers and the navy hospital ship,
the Solace, can be seen In these mod
els. The model of the Arkansas, a
sister ship of the Wyoming, cost the
t inted States Government $25,000 to
build. Many other models of the
earlier vessels of the navy are kept
in packing cases in the cellar of the
building.
In the Treasury Department the ac-
umulation <4 paintings of the for
mer Secretaries has overflowed from
the walls of the offices of the Sec
retary and his two assistants into the
corridol’s adjacent to the Secretary’s
office. The Revenue Cutter Service,
which also is In the Treasury De
partment. has an interesting exhibit.
ut only part of it can be seen, as
there is not sufficient space in the
building to display it.

URGED ID SIB?
. FOREST FIRES
Damage Is Done for This Year,
but Co-operation Promised
for Next Season
ATIliSNS, Dec. 6.—Professor Alfred
Akerman, head of the department of
forestry of the Georgia State College
of Agriculture, has returned from
North Georgia, where he has been ad-
: dreusing meetings of citizens In three
; of the mountain counties about the
Importance of protecting the forests
from flres In the fall.
At the time of the meetings the
atmosphere was pungent with odors
j of burning leaves, smoke hung like a
; pall over all the mountain country,
and the nights were lit up by fires
that consumed the leaves and under
brush of the forest areas
The heavy rains of the early part
of the week quenched the fires, and
the damage which the fires will dot
this year Is over. At least It Is ex
pected that there will not be any
more Important outbreaks
Professor Akerman told the moun
tain people of the great losses which
they were suffering each year from
carelessly setting leaves on fire.
Young sprouting trees are destroyed,
shrubs aDd well started young trees
are either completely destroyed or are
done Irreparable harm; the litter and
humus of the virgin soil is so dam
aged as to cut off a part of the fu
ture food supply of the forests, while
even the large trees are checked In
their growth and their value as lum
ber depreciated by the ground fires.
The people who attended the meet
ings expressed a determination to
exercise greater care and to see to
It that the careless who do start
such flre« are taught a lesson.

Part of Oklahoma.
mess tent than you earned But let's
sit down and talk It over"
In an hour Ringling had agreed to
come to Oklahoma, look over Ha-
mon'a proposition and build the rail
road if the enterprise had merit.
Rlngling’s fad Is the building of
short-line roads, though Hamon did
not know It. Ringling has built fif
teen or twenty such railroads. He
takes the keenest Interest in the
growth of rural communities whose
resources are undeveloped, of which
there are many throughout the West.
He likes farming and owns a ranch
of 70,000 acres in Montana that pro
duced more than $50,000 worth of
crops last se- 9on, not counting the
output of live stock.
Has Good Roadbed.
The "Ringling Road,” as it is
called, will carry even circus trains
with safety. Few of the trunk lines
will have a better roadbed.
A regular freight and passenger
service will be established in a few'
days. The company’s yards at Ard
more are filled with loaded freight
cars for delivery along the line.
Much of the material is for the newly
discovered oil fields in Carter and
Rove Counties. These Supplies have
been hauled by wagon at great ex
pense.

tune of $.'540,000, William Rohrer, an at

ARDMORE. OKRA., Dec. 0.—A
claim for $3.90, unpaid for more than
20 years, is largely responsible for
the building of the Oklahoma, New
Mexico and Pacific Railroad, now un

place.
This claim brought together a rich
man whose hobby is the building of
short line railroads and a lawyer pol
itician who had grown weary of
practice In a small town, and dis
gusted with politics. The two Joined
hands and are now’ running a rail
road through an undeveloped section
of Oklahoma.
Nobody knows better than Jacob B.
j Ilamon, of Bawton, Okla., how hard
I It was to get money for a new rail
road.
When he told his townsmen that he
was going to New York to get money
arid that he would stay until he got
it, they bade him good-bye and said
.that they were sorry that he would
be so long away from home. That
was nearly two years ago. Hamon
paid his own expenses.

After long waiting, good luck came

In a fashionable grillroom Hamon

'You owe me $3.90, owed it for
20 years, and I am In need of the
money,” said Hamon to Ringling.
"When I was a boy I ran away from
home, went broke in Nebraska. Joined
your circus and got as far as Kansas
City, where I was so overcome with
homesickness that I cruelly deserted
you without asking for my week’s

Sick headache?! Always trace them
to lazy liver; delayed, fermenting food
in the bowels or a sick stomach. Poi
sonous. constipated matter, gases and
bile generated in the bowels, instead of
being carried out of the system, is re-
tibsorbed Into the blood. When this poi-
son reaches the delicate brain tissue, it
causes congestion and that dull, sicken
ing headache. Cascarets will remove
the cause by stimulating the liver, mak
ing the bile and constipation poison
move on and out of the bowels. One
taken to-night straightens you out by
morning -a 10-cent box will keep your
head clear, stomach sweet, liver and
boweTs regular, ami make you feel
bright and cheerful for months. Chil
