DISTRICT WOULD LOSE.
Commissioners Point Out Defects in a
House Bill.

In a letter to the House judiciary commit
tee regarding House bill $3.50, relating to
the disposition of moneys collected by Unit
ed States marshals, the Commissioners say:
If this bill should become a law without
modification, 1t would deprive the govern
ment of the District of Columbia of the
benefit of nearly $4,000 a year, which it
now receives from fines imposed in the
courts. AS the evident purpose of the bill
is to regulate the compensation and duties
of court officials, the Commissioners infer
that there is no intention to deprive the
District of this revenue. They say that
nearly all the receipts referred to are of a
local character, and in other municipalities
are derived through local courts They pro-
pose to remedy the defect by amending sec
ton Ii of the bill by adding the following:
THAT nothing in this act shall be con-
strued to change existing law in reference
to the collection and deposit of fines and
penalties in the courts of the said District -

Trci1Aing For Football.

"There is always try for heavy men
for tho rush line, particularly in and near
the center. These big fellows, with their
aldermanic proportions and over 900
pounds, are generally used up very soon in
attempting to do as much work as men
who begin in fairly good condition." says
James G.. Lathrop in Outing. If they are
to be of value in the big games, they must
be handled with great care. While they
must work hard to get rid of their fat, they
should not be put in the line every day.
They should be played but part of the
time each day-fve minutes one day, ten
another, back to five the next, and SO on,
gradually increasing the time as condi-
ton improves. Work should be mainly
running, not several miles on q stretch or
even one mile, but short spurts of about
80 yards, followed by walks of about the
same distance. The rate Of speed in the
run should not be mans best, yet it
should be much faster than long dis
lance gait. The walk between the runs
gives the muscles chance to rest, allows
the exercise to be kept up longer, thus in
creasing perspiration and the reduction of
weight.
''As the special object with these men Is to
get off weight and as the majority Of young
fellows eat from one-quarter to one: third
more than they need, it would be well to
eat less, not paying SO much attention to
quality as quantity. This can be done
without loss of strength and is great
help in reducing"

the lives Of the players and dancers. So
far as they are simple human beings, we
should have founded no society in relation
to them, but 1t Ii because the art that they

which they now labor.
\ 1.-THE society is q success. We have now

who Joined us have gone away from us on
account Of the episcopal attacks upon us,
for they feared to lose their power for good
in other directions if they openly adhered
to the society. We have monthly meet

of the stage are brought into contact and

On the subject of ballet dancing Itself
Rev. Headlam is connoisseur. Until
the people recognize stage dancing as a le-

"its full development cannot be reached.
The unenlightened conscience Is really q
great prejudice to the community. To me

tracti venbss of children. Most deplorable
of all, however, are clothes that impede
the freedom of movement. This is q
point that cannot be too seriously con-
sidered. It is quite depressing to see a
little child so dressed that she cannot
run and jump. The first essential in the
child's costume should be it's ease. And
g curious Indifference to the advantages
Of civilization is shown when the lace
or silken drapery, tight collar or intru-
sive belt stand in the way Of good
skip.
The REFER jacket and plain serge
skirt so popular this season is one OF
the best possible styles for children, es-
pecially when completed by one of the
popular blouse shirts with rundown col
lars and bows. But even in the case Of
the skirt and coat style individual ap-
preparedness ought to have hearing,
for this style is more especially suited
to children who are thin. For those who
are stout the loose dress with the yoke
may be adopted with complete success,
while those who are awkward in their
movements should be carefully dressed
in a blouse made in the old fashioned
style, with three box plaits from neck
to hem, neatly belted round the hips
with leather Or suede belt. This style,
of course, when all made in one piece,
is only suitable up to the age Of Z, but
the jacket bodice, cut on the same lines,
worn with a plain skirt, may be induced
to do service until childhood merges in
to young womanhood.
For dress occasions simple designs are
readily made ornate by dressy sleeve
and the application Of extra trimming
In illustration may be cited costume
in fine wooden material, with q bodice
fashioned with a short orosscut basque.
The rundown collar opens in front
over q vest trimmed with bands Of en-
broidery- The double pulled sleeves are
also divided with an embroidered band,
and collar and skirt are similarly
adorned. ,-~
For little boys not yet in trousers the
three piece suit Of jacket, underblouse
and skirt is simple, convenient and
comfortable. This model may be made
entirely of oheviot, or the skirt and un-
derblouse may be in flannel. For dressy
occasions silk may be employed.
In New York many little girls still
wear the guimpe dress. This consists Of
a tight fitting bodice, cut square back
and front, reaching to the waist, onto
which the full skirt is. gathered, while
the guimpe, which is often white, is
made with full sleeves gathered into
tight cuffs. The bodices are trimmed in
various ways, sometimes bearing braces
of ribbon to tie on the shoulders, at
other times giving evidence of the in
