WASHINGTON CHAT [CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE] Washington, D. C., Jan. 7. Congress has been losing valuable time during the long holiday adjournment. The session is short enough anyway and not a few representatives have declared that the long recess is a serious handicap to both houses. As the recess cuts off eleven of the seventy-eight working days of the session, it will be seen that some tall hustling is necessary between now and next March if the plan of work outlined at the beginning is to be carried through. This session considerable more time has been occupied than usual in the reading of the numerous messages of the president, for in addition to the regular message, which was unusually long, there have been six special ones, all of which have consumed not less than three full days in reading. Then, there has been much time lost through putting off until after the holiday recess the discussion of several important measures; so, taking things altogether, it is safe to predict that this congress, like the one before it, will have the usual congestion of business at the close, when sometimes as many as a half dozen of the great appropriation bills remain unacted upon until the very last hour, when nothing but confusion reigns and when there is liability to grave error. It will be remembered that at the close of the first half of the pres- congress, like the one before it, will have the usual congestion of business at the close, when sometimes as many as a half dozen of the great appropriation bills remain unacted upon until the very last hour, when nothing but confusion reigns and when there is liability to grave error. It will be remembered that at the close of the first half of the present congress an appropriation of three millions of dollars was made in error through the haste to bring the session to an end. Perhaps the proposal to do away with the holiday adjournment, except for a brief Christmas recess, will strike a responsive chord with an increased number of members as well as with the people throughout the country. There is no truth in the report that women in the postal service are being discriminated against, neither is it so that the postoffice department will favor women to the exclusion of men. Just how so many conflicting rumors got in circulation no one knows, but of late numerous letters from women have been received by the postal officials, the women inquiring whether it was so that there is a prejudice in the postal service against their sex. The department announces that there has not been and is not now any discrimination against the employment of women, either married or single, in positions where they can be properly placed. One prominent official has declared that women in any line of postal work in which their employment is practicable, are usually careful, faithful and well paid. The records show that of the total number of clerks in the department in Washington, 26 percent are women. The salaries they receive range from $240 to $1800 a year, the average clerical salary of the women being $1440, against $1256 for the men. Outside of Washington there are employed 194 women as assistant postmasters in first and second class This is not the only question the busy secretary most his entire time and assistants is occupied with things and workings of the food and drug law, which effect the first day of the many intricate problems up by this law have caused amount of detail work, all must be dispatched prompter that the thousands facturers affected by the comply with it and at the not suffer delay in the train business.

The salaries they receive range from $240 to $1800 a year, the average clerical salary of the women being $1440, against $1256 for the men. Outside of Washington there are employed 194 women as assistant postmasters in first and second class offices, and in grades below that position there are 27,600 women employed as clerks in postoffices with salaries ranging from $400 to $1700 per year. There are 700 women postmasters of the fourth class, 253 women as carriers in the rural service, and not a few who are substitute carriers. Women are constantly being appointed to the many positions, and it can be put down once and for all that they are having an equal show with the men at all times. Considerable commotion took place in the office of the secret service men in the treasury building just before Christmas when the telephone rang and the news came over the wire that President Roosevelt was out walking on the busy streets of Washington unaccompanied by anyone excepting Mrs. Roosevelt. The news was startling, but it required only a moment for one of the government officials to dash out of the building and catch up with the president, who was out on a shopping expedition. The president and his wife had the executive mansion just become 'o'clock in the morning withholding warning to the guards duty it is to accompany the continent wherever he goes, afoot or soon the distinguished were a block or more down street before their absence from White House had been noticed. It often that the president can steal away unobserved, once he successfully eluded who shield him from harm, some at least. Serious complaints have reached Agricultural department from cities, some from prominent men in New York, against the use of slaughtering cattle on their property, thereby requiring the pression of meat inspectors. As nothing in the new meat inlaw against such a practice necessary for the departto have its men ready for inwork on Sunday as well as other day, if it is the practice of workers to ship any of their prointerstate or foreign community Wilson is without authorpresent to remedy matters, but does that an amendment to will soon be made which have his 2000 inspectors one last in seven. This is not the only question bethe busy secretary now. Almost entire time and that of his acts is occupied with the rulworkings of the new pure drug law, which went into the first day of the year. The face, renders it hard. smooth, waterproof, non-abrading, and so practically indistructible. In this connection I venture to relate some significant experiments in Sacramento recently. The use of oil upon roads had become most unpopular in Sacramento and vicinity for the reason that it had been so applied, both upon macadam and dirt roads, that in summer hardly more than half a load could be hauled over their yielding surfaces, and with the advent of the rainy seasons these surfaces worked up into a most vile mud, which took off the hair from the legs of the horses, the paint from the buggies and provoked most profane utterances from divers and sundry drivers. Hence the attitude of the city board of trustees of whom I asked the privilge of demonstrating that oil could be used upon macadam so as to produce a perfect road surface. They authorized the experiment upon two blocks, but declared that if it failed they would use oil no more upon their streets. Two blocks upon H street were selected between 13th and 15th streets. The pavement had been down over two years and had been subjected to ex-tremely hard travel, so that in many places depressions had been worn of from one-half to three quarters of an inch in depth and in area from half a square yard to two yards square. The street was washed clean by a tor-rential rain a few days previous to the application of the oil and any dust which had accumulated in the mean-time was swept off, leaving the surface clean, well cemented together and hard. Then heavy crude oil of about twelve degrees gravity, heated only suffic- lently to permit it to be handled, was applied so as to thinly but entirely cover the surface, and travel was kept from the street for about vives that an amendment to will soon be made which have his 2000 inspectors one most in seven. is not the only question bethe busy secretary now. Allows entire time and that of his its is occupied with the rulworkings of the new pure drug law, which went into the first day of the year. The intricate problems brought this law have caused no small of detail work, all of which dispatched promptly in orget the thousands of manusures affected by the law may with it and at the same time delay in the transaction of policemen and employees in and the White House were numbered by the president on as day. To each of the marand to those receiving pay a month or less, he presented turkey. To the unmarried to those receiving pay of than $100 a month, he gave $5 pieces. It required some 130 which were purchased by the House steward who see best to be bought in the There were fifty policemen received turkeys, that being the of men in and around the House grounds. Roads, and How to Get Them Continued from Page 2 unities which most oppose the st for good roads occurred in York campaign. When the personal amendment was pending for a $50,000,000 bond issue great protest came from an incommunity who wished the conof the matter by the legislatmittee postponed, giving as a that the mud was so deep that could not reach the meeting look for suitable legislation nia seems most encouraging. it of this paper does not per- rental rain a few days previous to the application of the oil and any dust which had accumulated in the meantime was swept off, leaving the surface clean, well cemented together and hard. Then heavy crude oil of about twelve degrees gravity, heated only suffifently to permit it to be handled, was applied so as to thinly but entirely cover the surface, and travel was kept from the street for about two weeks. Then a very fine gravel was thinly sprinkled over any surface remaining at all sticky and the street was opened to travel. The demonstration was made in March and three days after the oil was applied a heavy rain fell which did no harm except to separate the oil in the puddles from contact with the surface of the road be­neath, thus preventing its proper penetration into such surfaces. Several rains followed after the street was opened to travel, and except where an undue amount of oil had been used—more than would penetrate the surface, the road remained in fine condition. Pure Food Law At the present session of the legislature pure food legislation will command much attention. At the present time there is a pure food law on the statute books, but it is ineffective in that no practical plan is provided for putting and keeping it in operation. Prosecution of course would come logically within the functions of district attorneys and city attorneys, but these officials seldom take up the battle, but easily sidestep the responsibility. President Elwood of the State horticultural commission, backed by many of the leading fruit producers of California will seek to remove the obstacle that hinders the operation of the pure food law. These gentlemen have mapped out a plan to be incorporated in an amendment providing for the establishment of a board of deputies, under the state board of health. Should the measure be enacted it will be the special and sole duty of these deputies to enforce the food law and prosecute DR. BOUCHELLE DR. BOUCHELLE Dr. L. B. Bouchelle of Thomasville, Ga., a physician well known in the South, is very enthusiastic over the cod liver oil preparation Vinol. He says: "I have used Vinol in my family and in my general practice with the most satisfactory results. It is exceedingly beneficial to those afflicted with bronchial or pulmonary diseases and to create strength." The reason Vinol is so far superior to old fashioned cod liver oil and emulsions, is because it is a real cod liver preparation from which all the useless oil has been eliminated and tonic iron added. We ask every weak, thin, run-down, nervous and aged person in town, and all those suffering from chronic colds, coughs and weak lungs, to try Vinol on our guarantee.
