athletics for Filipino Students.

Special effort is being made by the bureau
of insular affairs to have Philippine stu
dents In the United States as wards of their
home government interest themselves IN
athletics, SO that when they return to the
Islands they may encourage athletic games
and the resulting physical development
which Is sadly lacking among the Filipinos
William A. Sutherland. who - in charge
of the IT'S young Fifipinos attending coll
leges and universities In all parts of the
United States, has written letter to the
students stating that the Filipinos are more
backward in physical than in mental devei-
opment and urging that they pay particular
attention to military drill, gymnasium work
and all sorts of athletics. He especially
requests that they become proficient In rum
ming, jumping and track athletics. which re-
qure no equipment and can be generally
used In the Philippines.

We need more parks within walking dis
lance where people may SIT down.

ton Ii. 10 the only park site In town that
commands any view at all The other one
fa the ground about the Capitol building
The height of the Meridian Hill site Is
double that Of this Capitol site. this being
ninety feet above the Potomac and the
other zoe feet.
THE third reason why this ground is
needed to be taken immediately Is In the
interest of the proper development of 10th
street Sixteenth street was originally in
tended to be q model residence street of the
nation The White House faces It.. Sites
were offered free to foreign governments IL
they would erect their legation buildings
upon them
Other Arguments Presented.
Mr.. Henderson son of former Senator
John B. Henderson. stated briefly that some
thing must be done to redeem 10th street
extended. or that beautiful thoroughfare
which has been regarded as destined to be
one OF the great boulevards of the country,
would be ruined. He said that It is now
largely given up to shanties, and that I'M
less something was done to improve It, such
as the proposed purchase of ten acres of
land at the top OF 18th street for a park, the
street would continue to go down and would
ne iost to the people of the city as a beau
Senator Carter spoke especially in favor
OF the Meridian Hill Park, but said that he
thought Congress should fix the limit OF
price that 1t would pay for this property
and believe that 1t would be Just to assess
Dement'S. as is done in the. case OF street ex-
tension.
He made strong plea for parks In the
northern section of the city and said that
Congress had done practically nothing in
that respect In comparison with other
places. II Rock Creek Park itself is not
considered. The 10th street park would
anord beautiful point OF observation
from which the whole city could be SEEN
from which Arlington and the great ex-
panse of the Potomac river could be OBJ
served A park there filed with benches
would afford most desirable breathing
space to the people of that section of the
city.
Value Of the Land.
Mr.. r, II. Goldsborough. speaking in rela-
ton to the value of land In the vicinity of
the proposed extension. said that the gov
eminent had paid for the observatory
grounds about % cents foot or between
s11 ,0GO and $4,000 an acre. He himself
sixteen years ago. had bought land that is
now In this Thompson syndicate for $4,000
an acre and ten years ago sold it for IS, 600
an acre.

Proposed Meridian Hin Park.

Mrs. Henderson was then heard. Mrs.
Henderson spoke earnestly on the Gesira-
bllity of establishing park on Meridian
Hill.
There are three reasons, she said. why
the especial parking space now brought TO
your attention on Meridian Hill should be
taken at once. First. because there is no
small park near Second because 1t COM
nnands one Of the finest city views In the

 The marriage over, the first days of the honeymoon were spent at the beau tiful Long Island home of W. K. Van derbilt, "Oakdale." Ten days after their marriage the duke carried his bride to England. Meanwhile Blen- helm Palace was being put in condi- tion to receive its new mistress. For lack or money it had fallen into bad repair. and the duke by selling paint ings, books and statuary had raised enough to pay the painters, decorators and plumbers to make the dark. gloomy old place habitable. The Van derbilt millions were later expected to do what the Hamersley millions had started-put Blenhe1m In first class condition and finish up the in- completed parts.
