Asparagus, cabbage and cauliflower are chiefly valued hecause of -the bulk and variety they give ts the diet. 14 WASTlWf? Department "Where They WASHINGTON, "That is the place where they send out seeds." This is the familiar formula which many Washington guides use in de scribing to tourists the wonders of the department of agriculture. This information was given through a meg aphone by the conductor of the rubber neck wagon to his patrons as they pass in front of the old red brick ad ministration building. Officials and clerks within hearing of this brief de scription throw down their penB (or, for the sake of pleasantry, should it be their newspapers?) and take on a look of disgust and injured pride. For so many thousand of strangers to be given the information or to get the Impression that the feature of work for which the great department of Ag riculture has made itself famous or notorious is the sending out of seeds, is monstrous. One of the humiliating features of the whole business is that the tourists appear to like it. They look with the proper awe-stricken stare and seem to be greatly im Rep. Johnson "Nearly" Had His Speech Printed REPRESENTATIVE Albert Johnson, the handsome and vociferous mem ber from Oregon, nearly had a fine speech printed in a faraway coast paper for which Harry Brown ia the Washington correspondent. Johnson used to be a newspaper man in this city. He was night editor and copy editor and reporter and all the regular things which are supposed to give newspaper men that broad and sympathetic view of large affairs. Johnson made a speech during the general debate on the tariff bill -a few days ago. It was his first speech in the House. It was a good speech, taking it by and large, but the air was jammed full of speeches about that time and the only newspaper that was publishing them was the Congres sional Record. However, Mr. Johnson did not want Portland to go unfed , with , crumbs from his table, so the evening fol lowing the great event of his speech he started out to find Harry Brown and tell him all about it. He couldn't find Mr. Brown until the next day. "Say, Jiarry," he remarked,1 "I tried to find you last. night, but. I couldn't. I made a speech yesterday." ,That did not impress Mr. Brown to any great extent, so Mr.' Johnson con- More Americans Go to EIGHTY-FTVE American men and women teachers have just set out for the Philippines. This number was selected from a large eligible list cer tified by the United States civil serv ice commission as having the neces sary education and experience and having passed the required examina tion for the Philippine, teaching, serv ice. They came fronT nearly every state in the union,, representing some of the best universities, colleges and normal schools in this country. Most of them are college graduates, some have done graduate work in the uni versities and others have pursued nn,r r jijLruu"LrLiLn..ri r ni"" " "- Animal Statues As Lawn ANIMAL statues as outside decora tions for houses seem to multiply when you look for them, and they al ways.seem to.be jcomjng Jnto viewvin places-where you had hitherto over-looked-them. In -front, of. the big four-storyyellow brick house at the northwest corner of 16 th and'P' streets, next door outh of Foundry Church, are two white lions. Apparently they have just left the covered porch and are strolling down the walk which leads from the front door to the sidewalk that is, they appear to be . walking because each lion has his right foreleg lifted. They are also keeping step. The pal lor, or the whiteness of the beasts in dicate that they are young lions and have not long been exposed to the wear and tear and dust incidental to guarding a doorway on a much trav eled street. They appear to be twins. Each is the same size and the attitude of each is the same; each has his head turned to the southeast as though looking down the avenue of the presidents. They may have heard some one aj CITY . Send Out the Seeds" pressed . with' the department "where they send out seeds." "I wish you would write a. piece for the paper," said a high functionary of the department, "and correct the alto gether too prevalent notion that the main objects and the main usefulness of this department are concerned with sending out seed. ' . "I have talked to some of these rub berneck conductors. I have urged them to enlighten the pilgrims for whose instruction they are responsi ble, upon the vast work of this depart ment in relation to meteorology, ani mal industry, animal husbandry, plant . industry, forestry, chemistry, soils, en tomology, biology, publications, statis tics. Dublic roads and the like. , "I have recommended these guides to acquaint their patrons with some x of the valuable work being done by the bio-chemic, pathological and zoo logical divisions, by the plant patholo gists and physiologists and the pomo logists, by the soil bacteriologists, the dendrologists, . the mlcrochemical ex perts, the sharps In enologlcal chemis try, by the agrostologists, the work ers in solar radiation, agricultural technology, silvics, synthetic prod ucts, pharmacological work, Insecti cides, fungicides and all that.

(COrtPAflY tiued to further explain: "And as I thought your paper would want it, I filed about 800 words of it with the telegraph company." Brown winced.' His paper had been advising him to cut down the tariff stuff to the bone, as most of it was the sort of soft pap that goes well in the country districts, but hasn't much circulation In a well regulated news paper. Furthermore, Brown investi gated and found that Representative Johnson had really filed 1,500 words and the telegraph tolls to Oregon are enormous! He had visions of being "fired" by wireless, but he discovered to his great relief that hie paper had chopped the speech in two before it was entirely relayed to Portland from Chicago, thus saving. a lot of time and trouble and costing Representative Johnson a whole lot of money for half a speech to Chicago. Teach in the Philippines technical courses preparing them to take charge of agricultural work, manual training and trade school work and domestic science. A fact not generally known is that the average term of service of Amer ican teachers in the Philippines ia nearly six years, almost a year longei than the average service of teachers in this country. Those leaving at this time go to the Philippines under a two-year contract. This provision Is made to enable the government to ascertain whether or not the teacher will succeed in the new field and also to give the teacher a chance to find out whether or not there is a suffi cient future to the service to warrant him in remaining. That there are only eighty-five, vacancies this year out of nearly seven hundred positions for American teachers in the service, indicates, so the insular bureau offi cials say, that those already on the ground have the greatest faith in the future of the educational work in the islands. v - mmmm mm.

The path they follow leads across a green lawn at the street edge of which is a .row of tulip trees, sometimes called yellow poplars. A row of hard maples is in the parking between the sidewalk and the curb. It is green and shady there, but, as every one knows, a much frequented part of the city and these lions if so inclined could count thousands of automobiles passing in the course of a day and about as many in the course of an evening.
