Mems Pajam1as or
Sleeping Suits.

It's not to be wondered at that
these Sleeping Suits have become
mans almost universal favorite.
Pajamas, while an ideal sleeping
garment, can be put to uses that
night shirts cannot. The man who
lounges about his room before re-
firing, or who wishes his shave be-
fore dressing for the day, is not at
home in any clothing other than pa
jamas.
Our carefully selected stock of
these goods includes such materials
as madras, cheviot, twills, hannels,
domets and silk.

Steamer Rugs or
Travelling ShaWns.
Main floor. + st.

Not so long ago these comforters
served one special purpose. They
were the indispensable companion
of the land or sea traveler-cOn-
stantly needed in the railway coach
or on deck of the ocean steamer. In
these later years they supply other
needs. They make an ideal wrap
when one lies down on the couch;
they look we'll thrown across the
easy chair. The pretty plaids and
rich-hued stripes place them in
much demand for dens and coy
corners. The room of the college
boy is rarely without one. They
are useful all about the house.
Prices were never more reasonable.
$500, $500 to $500 each.

WIDE RANGE OF VIEW
DISCUSSIONS AT HYGIENIC
SCHOOL CONFERENCE.
Special Cablegram to The Evening Star.

Special Cablegram to The Evening Star.
LONDON, March 13.--The discussion of
Scholars and physical inspection" gave
the delegates at the conference on school
hygiene at the University of London ample
room to express a wide range of opinion
on such subjects "cramming," home
training, Sleep physical exercise and ex-
aminations.
The following are brief extracts from the
interesting speeches delivered:
Sir Lauder Bronton, who presided: Mere
examining of knowledge was disadvan-
tage Children required to be trained to
think, to act and to decide
The Marchioness of Londonderry: School
life had deprived the girls of the natural
means provided by home life for learning
about the preparation of food; the care OF
children and'the simple laws of life. Some
two-thirds of the girls would have children
of their own and knowledge must now be
provided for them by the state In the
schools
Sir John Cockburn: He was glad to well
come that conference and its recognition OF
the Importance of the gospel of the body
To teach child abstract mathematics was
like trying to make an insect fly before IT
had wings. He was glad to see that the
need for more sleep was to be insisted
upon. The proverb: six for a man, seven
for woman and eight for fool was al
together wrong. For himself, he had never
been able to do with less than nine hours.
Dr. Clement Dukes: The amount of sleep
requisite from birth to three years of age
was twenty to sixteen hours; from three 10
five years, fifteen to fourteen hours; from
five to fourteen years, thirteen. and a nalr
to ten and half hours, and from fourteen
to nineteen years, ten to nine hours.
Mr.. A. G. Dyke Acland: Scholars would
have far healthier bodies and minds If they
were to take away about four-fifths OF the
present examinations. If by one stroke OF
the pen the lists of school successes could
be struck out he believed it would be doing
a better thing for education than any that
has ever yet been done.
Lord Reay: School and home should be
considered in close and intimate relation
ship. Their object should be as much as
possible to prevent home influence from
counteracting school influence. Teachers
should be in constant communication with
the mothers of the children.
The club women and presidents of Wo-
mems colleges in America are to hold
conference, at which the club women will
endeavor to prove, in opposition to the view
widely held, that the college girls are those
have the largest families. According to
statistics to be brought forward by the
president, of the National Federation OF
Women's Clubs, who has arranged the
meeting, the children of the average col
lege women are an eighth more numerous
than those of her sister who never attended
college. The college women. according to
the British Medical Journal, intend to prove
that they not only have large families, but
that their children have higher average
standard of intellectual development.

a huge stone, loosened by some care

WOMEN MARINERS

Miss Jane Morgan of Philadelphia
has passed an examination before the
United States steam vessel inspectors,
and they have granted her a master
mariners certificate, good for ''all
oceans" To get such a certificate the
applicant must have sailed as a navi-
eating officer on an ocean or coastwise
vessel Miss Morgan has had such ex-
perience on her fathers yacht. Her
certificate as master mariner attests
her fitness to take command of any
vessel. According to Captain Patter-
son Of the New York Nautical College
there are only five female master mar
iners in the world besides Miss Nor
gan. One of these makes her living as
a pilot on the Mississippi. another as a
pilot on the Ohio. Many yachtswomen
are expert navigators. On water or on
land women are showing themselves
the equals of man.-Everybody's Maga-
zine for January.
