SMALLEY” Matter of the Removal of Old Rail road Station in Washington Re called as a Proof of Hia • Energy. Since the death of Colonel Roose- veit, old-timers in Washington have been recalling many incidents illus trative of the tremendous vitality of the man. his determination to get things accomplished, and his unwill ingness to let red tape interfere with the accomplishment of that which seemed necessary to be done. One of these incidents was recounted the other day by Col. William Boyce Thompson, chairman of the Roose velt Memorial association. It was narrated with much appreciation by a Congressman who didn't appreciate It so much when It occurred. It ran ss follows : The government was co-operating with the Pennsylvania and Baltimore & Ohio railroads in the project for a new union station—the present fine edifice. The site of the Pennsylvania's old station—now the mall near the White House—had been purchased by the government, and it was purposed to raze the buildings. But congress had been held late In a special ses sion, nnd the members were anxious to get home, so It was decided to postpone the letting of bids for tear ing down the buildings until congress reassembled the next fall. This duty naturally devolved on the committee on the District of Columbia, which has charge of government property In the district, Meantime a major of engineers was placed In charge, as custodian. When the committee held Its first meeting at the next session of con gress, the matter of letting contracts for the razing of the old station was brought up. “Why, gentlemen,” declared an as tonished representative, “there is nothing to tear down. I walked past there this morning, and there's noth ing hut the bare earth where the old station stood.” The committee sent post-haste for the custodian, and the chairman asked him sharply what had become of the building he had charge of, “It has been razed and the material stored, sir,” replied the major. “By whose order?” queried the chairman, red In the face. “By order of President Roosevelt, sir.” “Where In--- did ho get any au thority to butt Into our business?” exploded the chairman. “Well, sir,” said the major, “it Is not for me to question the authority or the orders of my commander in chief, hut to obey them. And I did, sir.” And congress decided to consider It a fact accomplished, and let it «go at that. s Alfalfa and Ensilage Cutters PHONE 192 PHONE 192 HIARDWA RE IMPLEMENTS I See us if you are in the market for a car DEALERS FOR FORD DORT The Universal Car Built to Satisfy HUPMOBILE REO Good Looks and Peppy Performance Unusual Power and Stability FORD TRUCK AND FORDSON TRACTORS United States, Goodrich, Fisk and Firestone TIRES AND TUBES A Bachelor's Complaint.

SIAAN Da Vinci Thought of Tank. Italy has just celebrated the fourth centenary of Leonardo da Vinci’s death. Iis name has been often men- tinned during the war and his prophet ic genius recalled. It Is known that he Intended to build airplanes for war purposes, but It Is now claimed also that he was the first to think of the tank. In his letters to II Moro be speaks of armored cars which could shelter the occupants and drive right amongst the enemy's masses, slaying and shattering all opposition. It is unfortunate that more is not known of ‘Leonardo’s Intentions, and of the way In which he proposed to propel his craft. Horses might possibly have been intended. for If a horse could carry less weight than the armored motor, protection In those days was more easily got than now. But it Is certainly very singular to read that his cars were to charge ahead while the infantry would follow behind—for this ta exactly what happened four hundred years after his death. . m.
