the navy yard yesterday morning, when
the tuin-starred flag. Indicative OF the
rank of admiral, was flung to the
breeze above the commandments office in
, honor of the promotion of former Capt.

succeeded Admiral Norton in command of
the yard at this station, received his COM
mission as rear admiral in the United
States navy late Tuesday evening. and
early yesterday morning the flag OF the

elevation was most gratifying to his fellow
officers and friends, of whom he has many
| in Washington. having been stationed here
for several years at different times during
his career in the navy. Today the admiral
has been the recipient Of many official and
personal congratulations. He has been
| commandan' of the Washington yard since
| October II last, and is one of the brainest
| and most popular officers ever In command
| here. His expert and thorough knowledge
. of ordnance affairs fits him especially for
duty at this station which Is so important
! on account Of the manufacture here Of the
| great guns now used on the battle ships.
| Admiral Mccormick was formerly captain
| of the Norfolk navy yard, where he had
| charge of vast deal of important naval
! work. He entered the naval service In
| September 1859. having been appointed
| from Texas. He was commissioned q cap
tain in 1892. Admiral Mccormick has been
| on almost continuous duty since he took
charge Of the navy yard here, on account
of the multitude of work in progress there
During the past summer he has been serv-
| ing on the board appointed to revise the
naval regulations. This board Is still in
session. Its work is necessarily Of great
est moment to the entire service, and its
report will be most voluminous.

naval display. The showing to be made
in this department of the magnificent
Dewey phalanx will be most creditable, in
asmuch as Washington is practically an
inland city since the days of the deep
draught fighters of the navy. Very few
ships of Americas white squadrons are
able to safely navigate the old Potomac $
shallow and tortuous channel.
At the Washington navy yard, however,
preparations are making for the navy's
part in the pageant of next Tuesday.
There is also activity at the marine bar

also have a prominent place in the pro-

CAPITOL VENTILATION
Tests Made in the Senate and House Of
Representatives.
Need for Great Improvement-An-
nual Report of the
Architect.

The annual report of the architect of the
Capitol was made public today.
AT the outset the report deals with the
explosion and fire of November 6, which
damaged the Supreme Court going into
details of the cause. effect and damages
and explaining the improvements made
necessary.
The report also states specifically the
improvements made during the year.
Ventilation of the Capitol.
Referring to the question of ventilation,
the report says:
THE question Of ventilation of a building
of the character Of the Capitol Is a very
important one and has been the subject Of
considerable study during the past year.
In tn. laboratory large number Of ex-
periments have been conducted to test the
quality Of the CIR, more particularly that
supplied to the House and Senate chambers.
That taken from the Senate chamber has
Invariably been found superior. One reason
for this is the better means for removing
the vttiated air Of the Senate chamber.
Among other tests made were those Of a
meteorological character. which, as far as
they have been carried out, show remarkably
few germs Of dangerous character. One OF
the most interesting results has been OBJ
tanned by exposing so-called culture plates
simultaneously in the House and Senate.
1.-The colonies of bacteria developing on
the culture plates averaged % per plate for
the House floor to per plate for the Senate
floor. This difference shows a better up
ward movement Of the air in the Senate
chamber. The same tests made of the out
going air above the ceilings showed 81 for
the House, 1919 for the Senate, showing
superior movement of air from the Senate
chamber. These tests were made for five
ninutes each. In the first instance the
plates were placed in horizontal positions
in the chambers. allowing the bacteria to
settle thereon. In the second instance the
plates were held vertically to the stream of
outgoing air. These culture plates were
carefully incubated until the colonies had
well developed. Sterilfzed bouillon in test
tubes was then inoeulated with portions of
those colonies, which under the microscope
seemed to possess pathogenic qualities.
These tubes were allowed to remain a suit
able time in the incubator, after which
definite portions of the contents were used
for tests made in the usual manner"

Postmaster General that he has issued an
order restricting the issuance Of money

But One Cure
for SCrOfu1a.

6crofula is one of the most obstinate,
deep-seated blood diseases, and is be-
yond the reach Of the many so-called
purifiers and tonics. S. 8. s. is equal to
any blood trouble, and never fails to

London, April 8--The Berlin correspon.
dent Of the Times says
Professor Won Stengel Of the Munich
university, who will be one OF the Ger
man delegates to the disarmament confer.
ence at The Hague next month, has pub
lished a pamphlet opposing the advocates
OF perpetual peace. He declares the con-
ference is puerile and even though con-
voked by car and attended by the most
skillful diplomats and statesmen will not
succeed in establishing universal peace.
On the contrary, he contends that such
conferences involve the danger of intensity
ing existing differences and he asserts that
so far as Germany is concerned she has
still to achieve her rightful position in the
politics of the world.
In commenting upon Won Stengefs pam
phlet the Berliner Post says it is a ''source
of great satisfaction that the German del
egates are free from the vague illusions of
universal fraternizing."

The Defective Glasses.

Thirteen out of every 10000 people
in the United States are in prison, and
IL of the same number are insane.
The sexes show an equal per cent Of
insanity, but females form small per-
centage of the prison population.
Nineteen out Of every 10000 white per-
sons are deranged, while only nine out
of 10000 colored people are so affiict-
ed. OF our native whites fourteen out
of every 10000 are crazy, while among
the foreigners the proportion is thirty
nine. No attempt is made to show the
causes which make so many foreigners
go mad. The tendency to insanity is
greatest among the Irish and least
among the British and Germans. Fiji
teen out of 10000 people are idiots,
and here again the colored people show
less per cent. The tendency to lido
cy appears to be greatest among those
of Hungarian stock and least among
those of Italian origin. Seven out of
every 10000 people are deaf and dumb
and eight are blind. In idiocy, deaf
ness and blindness the sexes are divid-
ed in this proportion: Males, 90 per
cent; females, 45 per cent.

HeIpine a Horse.

The usual knot OF people that had
gathered on the sidewalk to look on,
as people always do when a horse falls
down, saw in this case something that
was new to at least some Of them. The
horse, the on one of pair hitched to
truck, had gone down on a snow-coy.
cred and slippery asphalt pavement.
The driver cleared away all the har-
ness, loosed all the fastenings so that
the horse would have perfect freedom
of movement, and then did the one
thing that was new He got from the
truck big piece of burlap bagging
and went back to the horses head and
prepared to place 1t under the horses
forefeet. He spread it under the
horses OF forefoot first, because that
was the one he came to first coming
from the truck, arranging it on the
ground close to the foot and then lift
ing the foot and leg and pushing the
burlap under 1t,
Then he went around the horses
head to repeat the operation with the
nigh foot, and when he got all ready
and had got hold of the horses foot to
lift it, the horse lifted his foot him
self, while the driver simply carried
1t forward to its proper place on the
hurlap. Then, with this good, secure
hold for his feet the horse got up on
the slippery pavement with no diff
Guilty whatever, and the driver hooked
him up again and drove on.
