One of the curiosities of the capitol
is the miniature railroad that connects
the senate, via underground passage,
with the senate office building, relates
a Washington correspondent. The cars
of this railroad operate on a monorail
by electricity.
The road is about ISO yards in length
and has a double track. When one
car is at one end of the track the other
car is at the other end, and vice versa.
The railroad was intended originally to
aid senators in making speed from
their offices to the senate chamber. Roll
calls do not require much time In the
senate and there is danger that if a
roll call Is asked when a senator la in
his office he will miss the roU call un
less he uses the electric car. That
saves him about ten or fifteen seconds’
time.
The road is open to the public and
it costs nothing to ride. As a conse
quence messenger boys, clerks and
janitors use the railroad freely, while
senators, except on days when the
weather Is inclement, prefer to walk In
the open air between their offices and
the senate chamber.
•
Besides the initial equipment, the
road entails an expense of about $50
weekly for the employ of two opera
tors and probably half that amount for
electricity. This would make a yearly
expense of $3,900 as a very conserva
tive estimate. As a matter of fact the
railroad probably costs more like $6,009
or $7,000 a year.
The senate has another extravagance
that Is almost an eyesore. This is the
palatial caucus room that cost no one
knows how many thousands of dollars
when the senate office building was
constructed. The room is finished
throughout In marble and has immense
crystal chandeliers. It has the largest
seating capacity of any room in the
capitol except the hall of the house
and the senate chamber.
Yet the acoustic properties of the
room are so bad that it is never used,
and it stands there as an expensive
monument to Some one’s mistake in
planning the senate office building. Of
course a person would ordinarily pay
no attention to such a thing as bad
acoustic properties, but in this room it
cannot help but be noticed.

Springtime
is ”clean-up” time
While you are doing your spring cleaning,
consider the need of repainting your floors. A
painted floor is a clean floor—or, at least is
easily cleaned. No cracks; no germ-catching
worn spots ; no unsightly blemishes.
B-H Floor Paint is made in California for
Pacific Coast conditions and climate. Spreads
easily—a quick dryer—forms a hard, yet elas
tic coating which lasts and wears twice as long
as the average paint.
