SIA THE DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM. OREGON, SATURDAY. DEC. 18. 1915. CONGRESSMEN GROWMODEST Few Glowing Accounts Appear In Autobiographies. INITIATING NEW MEMBERS. ThoM 8trving Their Flrat Terme Are Faat Catting Thiir Bsaringe and Lurning Hew th Nation! Lawa Ara Made Meeting tha "Big Man" of the Capital le Important For Them. While the veteran members of con gress are busy getting their bill!) In nape for presentation and running the house and senate, the new mem bers are getting their bearings, learn Ing how business Is transacted and meeting the "big men'' of Washington, There are many things for tho new men to learn, and they know that the best thing to do Is to make friends with the men who have the "pull" und who can be of untold benefit to theni In their work. There are a great many uew mem bers of this congress who first told of themselves In their autobiographies. The book, however, Is less interesting this year, as it seems thut the people have elected a very modest set of law. makers. ' Senator Henry Algernon dn Pout of Delaware again uses the most space In the directory. Jt requires flfty-slx Closely printed lines to review the war record of I he Delaware solon. Congressmen Charles Lindbergh of Minnesota and Thaddeus Caraway of Arkansas competo for brevity. Each uses less than one line, Mr. Lindbergh describing himself merely as "Repub lican, of Little f' lis," and Mr. Cara way "Democrat, of .loiiesboro." Senator James D. Phelau of Califor nia qunlinea as member of many clubs and asserts also that he belongs to the Society of California Pioneers and is president of the Uall Associa tlon of the Native Sons of the Golden West With national defensu as au issue In this congress, Congressman P. Davis Oukey of Connecticut Is one of many members to record that ke served with the national guard. ' CoBgressmaa William Baker Oliver, new Democrat from Alabama, ad mits that as prosecuting attorney be "attained the highest percentage of convictions lu tha state." Charles Hiram Randall, Prohibition ist, of Los Angeles, Cal., rails attention to tha fact that a member of tha Ran all family wruta "Marylaud, My nary in na. Congressman Frank Park of Georgia set but out more word than Messrs. LinaDergb. and Caraway. He names bis state as well aa town. 'Robert M.

David H. Klncbeloe of Mndlaonvllle, Ky., proudly says be Is mnrrled and "baa one girl, now seven and one-half months old." , Whltmell Pugb Murtiu labels himself a "progressive protectionist" from Lou isiana and adds that he Is the first non Democratic member to be elected from that state in twenty Ave years. A note of tragedy Is contained In the brief autobiography of Congressman Thomas D. Bchall of Minnesota, who aya be lost bis eyesight because of an electric shock In 1007, but has contin ued In the practice of law. The Sixty, fourth congress has two blind members Bonator Gore of Oklahoma and Mr. Bchall. Edward H. Wason of New llniup. ahlre Is oue of the many farmers listed In the directory. lie asserts that he takes a pride In farming and "has a large herd of registered Guernsey cat tle and a modern, up to dale form." Frederick W. Howe, a new member from Hrooklyn, lists ninny civic organ isations with which be Is nltlllaled nnd further explains that be Is "superin tendent of M. Paul's Sunday school." It appears that Congressman Templo of Pennsylvania, re elected, Is the only minister among the house members. William Ilarclny Charles of Amster dam, N. Y records that ho Is a mum tier of the Second Presbyterian church of that city. WATER STRAIGHT $1 BARREL. Fifteen Cente a Bucket Price In New Alaska Town.

CENTENNIAL TO THE HABIT SPREAD . OF SAVING. Anniversary of Founding of Firet Sav Inge Bank to Be Obaerved. Next year Is the one buudredlh anni versary of the founding of the Ci st sav ings bank in the United States, and a moveiuent has been Inaugurated to ob serve (lie ceuteunlnl by a nation wide campaign for the promotion of thrift amnug nil classes. Preparations have been begun for undertaking the cam paign on Jan. 1, and tho plan Is receiv ing the support of prominent bankers and public men. In sixty-two cities of the. country, each with a population or more than !!3,000, the campaign will be conducted through tho local chapters of the American Institute of Hanking; in the mailer cities and towns, through banks which ore members of the Amer ican Rankers' association; in the states, through the secretaries of the State bankers' association. Tha Indus trial workers will be reached through tho National Civic federation and the Immigrants through the national Amer icanization committee. Inasmuch aa. Immigrants, as a rule, are accustomed to government savings Daukt lu tbolr own countries and de posit their money here lu the United States postal .savings instnotlona, the government ofllclala In the poMofflct banks will assist In fostering in the for- eigu clement a feeling of confidence In savings banks. The bureau of commer. clal economics at Washington will sup ply lectures and motion picture films to be used for thrift meetings. WASHINGTON MOST WASTEFUL Leads All American Cities In Throwing Away Geod Food. The federal government couducts many kinds of Investigations, but Washington was hardly prepared to learn that United States agents had been digging Into the garbage dumps of (be country. As result of this lutest iminlrv the department of agriculture announces that Washington is the most wasteful city In the Untied Slates. Careful ex aminations of the contents of garbage cuns were muds with a view to deter mine what percentage of food prod ucts dally thrown away might have been put to wholesome use bad house wives of the various cities conducted their establishments mora economi cally. A complete report on the federal tov- ernment's Investigation will be out.

CONSTANTINOPLE HAS HAH BOOM City Has Grown Far Beyond Walls of Ancient Capital MANY IMPROVEMENTS NOTED Germans Soon to Have Expreea Trains Running Between Berlin and Turkish City Via Vienna and 8ofia Their Efficiency In Conducting War Strik ingly Hluetrated. Nothing better Illustrates the Ger man system of conducting the war thdn the manner In which their rail ways are operated. In a couple of days after the fall of Warsaw the Germans had through express trains hi opera' tlon between Brussels and the Russian city, going through Berlin. Now, since they have opened the way to Turkey, the German railroad officials are ready to establish through service between Berlin .and Constantinople via Vienna and Holla. A glance at the map lllus Iralcs the magnitude of this achieve ment, as the distance Is approximate ly 1,200 miles. Interest In the war Is now centered around the Turkish capital and In G rpeca, and many close observers are of the opinlou that the result depends ou the outcome lu the Balkans. Thus Constantinople Is one of the most In teresting cities In all Europe at this time. Constantinople extends far beyond the nnclcnt walled city of the emper ors, which only covered the promon tory known today as Stambonl. This promontory, bounded on tho north by the poetic Golden Horn, which, extend ing some miles Inland, forms perhaps the most magnificent harbor In the world, nnd ou the south by tho blue waters of the Marmora, Is indeed the most enchanting part of the city, but tho present population, estimated at about a, million and a quarter, could not be housed within Its borders. Fac ing the eastern Bide of Btaiuboul, on the Asiatic shores of the Bosporus and Marmora, stand the ancient cities of Calccdon (Kndlkewy) and Chrysopolls (Scutari). These now form part of Constantinople. Across the Golden Horn to the north, up the slopes of the hill crowned by Gnlata tower, built by the Genoese, houses upon houses are so crowded together that, looked at from the sea, It would seem as though there were no streets to separate them. Many VHIagMon Sheroa. The shores of the Bosporus are strewn with villages, some Insignifi cant, some fairly considerable, all of them part of the city. To tho wast, beyond the Leven towers and the mag-, nlQcent marble gate through wDlcb the' emperors rode In splendor, numerous other villages have sprung up, and to day Constantinople may be said to ex tend to a length of some twenty miles. The coast running south from Kndl kewy and the Princes Islands Is also Included In the city, to that in width; too, there Is a very great difference since the daya of tha Turkish conquest . Constantino founded his capital in 328, and for 1,100 years It was a Christian city. Walking the narrow streets today one comes across here a mosque which was ouce a Christian church, there a Greek inscription, here a column with beautiful capital, there tbe foundation of a once gleaming bronae column. But most wonderful of all standa that noble edifice, the church, now mosque, ' of St Sophia. Built on the top or tbe first hill, Im mediately behind the site of tbe em peror's palace, It dominates the city. Its dome, outlined against tbe botlioo, catches the eye from every point of view. What has St. Sophia not seen? Tha crowulug of emperors with all tha pomp and ceremony, empresses riding In state Into tha spacloua ladlea' gal lery, quarrels, Intrigues and, lastly, a conquered emperor floelng to H for refuge from the Invading Turk. All tbeae form a succession of events whose narrative holds one In spell. Tbe conquering Turk did not In any way lessen the romance of tbe life in tbe city, and today the charm Is still there. Who, having ouce threaded bis way through tbe fascinating baxaars, docs not picture again the qua hit shops with venders sitting cross legged on the floor, the curious old arches, the oriental crowds In their gay colors? Since (lie revolution and counter revolution of 1U09 much has been done to Improve the general aspect of tho city, and also to facilitate commuul cation. A splendid new bridge has been thrown across the Golden Morn, streets have been widened nnd paved, electric trums have taken tho place of homo trams, public parks havo been peued In various part of the city, the Turkish postofllco has been re organised, and last, hut not least, a telephone system has been established. Tho Turk is polite to n fault. He Is often shocked by the hrusquencs of tha westerner, ills seuso of humor is lare. Ills Inimitable way of story telling Is proverbial. Those who have known him Intimately have found him a generous host, a kindly neighbor and a good comrade, but as n ruler quite Incapable of falling In with modern methods. . Grounds For Diveroe.

Now of course, if it had been some thing important, like a tatting shuttle, he would have had a perfect right to raise Cain, but I can't think 1. would! ever want pants buttons so badly that 1 I would forget that I was a gentleman or a lady, or whatever I happened to be ! at the time, and kick up a fuss at Christmas. Besides, Christmas will "trot right along, and swing the old man," even if you and I have to hitch up our sus penders with a rusty nail, and when the girl told you she could not find the buttons, if you had hud the Christmas spirit you would have said, ' Well, 1 will take a dozen of these dolls. They will do nicely instead Thank you so ! much; so sorry to have bothered you about the buttons. Here, take this, and buy yonr grandmother a present. Oh, I must do something, nfter keeping you rummaging around in the basement so long, hunting those horricd buttons, for I know that if you don't make as many sales as the other girls, you'll be fired . . , : a T aiier me i.iiri3tins ruou ia uci. , ta , , , , , , guess perhaps a do,.en of these M"' w' "JS will hardly be enough.

Why, just now, 1 am so hap py 1 could cry about nothing nt all, 1 and 1 m letting the cat sleep on tbe , " ., . ". . . know it, because she is making pie the kitchen and that is what Christ mas does. When I go down town there arc some men who usuully point, one finger up to ward their huts and look straight ahead, like1 they felt a fit coming on; but! nowadays they look fairly intelligent, and ask me if we have made our win ter sour kraut yet nnd that is what Christmas does. Then there ore some women who frequently turn .theirl backs and become very much interested in second hand mouse trnps in a show window; now they turn around and say, "How are you dearf Just let me fix that.strnv lock of hair; 1. am sure I huve an extra hairpin.. Why, no, you' are not a fright! You are lovoly". and that is what Christmns does. I But it is at the stores where you fcel( the best or the worst I don't know which but it is there you want to I laugh nnd cry at the snnic time, for it is there that mothers are buying the things for the children. It is so crowd ed semetimes and. such a lot of lints and hatpins and feathers stuck i yonr nose and eyes, that they belong to mothers, because there aro no other hands so beautiful. They are a little rei n)1 IUV0 cracks in them and are ouite lnrcrc nt the ioints. and thnv trem ble a little as they hand tho money to the clerk; but they got that way doing' things for the children, and so they are beautiful.

Billiken, with red hair and such dear, big freckles, doesu't love vou, although since you have given him his coveted treasure he will try to stand it; but he holds the animal over his face, and you drop yonr head and maybe a tear and kiss the hind leg of the elephant! ; ..
