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.

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.

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. FEEL HEADACHY, DIZZY, BILIOUS?
