The term political boss" images To
most people a stoutly built man with a
plug hat and large diamond. who
smokes long black cigars and rules
his ward or district with rod OF iron.
Sometimes he is represented AS 4 man

citizen to help out the constituents
whose votes he harvests on election
day He is generally typified as elo-
quently profane. and storywriters de

Irish birth.
As a matter OF fact however, there
are Just as many different bosses" as
there are nationalities in the large
cities. for a boss" Is simply u header

The boss" in the cities, however,
especially the typical ward boss" ID
often a man who may be evolved by
either accident or design. Sometimes
a man goes into the game to help a
friend out, or to satisfy a grudge. and
the glamor of the thing attracts him
and he stays in. to finally emerge as
a full-blown leader" And some one

years in the same ward growing ND

LONGEVITY IN HOT CLIMATES

He shows that the people who live
along the unhealthful coasts of Cen.
trail and South America survive the in.
habitants of the higher and cooler alti-
tudes OF the interior. He shows also
that the Hindus. who often reach
puberty as early as nine years. live
to surprising old age. The inhabi.
tants OF the southern countries of
Europe are found TO live much longer
than those of the more northern lati-
tude.
To illustrate. in England in a popu-
lation Of $1,000 900 there are but l4S
centenarians. while in Spain, with
population of but $4,000 900. there
are 40l centenarians. The probabili-
ties are that the great mortality found
in southern latitudes is found in the
cities. and is therefore not so much
the fault Of the climate as of an in.
difference to sanitary laws.

MUNICIPAL COURT PROPOSED
Bill Provides a Change for Justices
of Peace.
All to He Collected In One Building
and Jurisdiction over Larger
Suits Given.

A bill to change the name and iuris-
diction of the inferior court Of Justice
Of the peace in the District OF Columbia
was submitted by the Commissioners to
Congress yesterday with recommendations
for enactment.
If the bin is passed by Congress. the
name OF courts now known as justice of
the peace courts will b. changed TO "the
Municipal Court OF TIE District Of Co
lumbia.''' for the reason that justice Of
the peace courts are adapted more 70
the small communities and thinly settled
parts OF the country than 10 the Dis
trict. which is practically one large city.
Exclusive jurisdiction OF the justice of
the peace should be changed from $50 10
$l0O say the Commissioners, because
the crowded condition Of the calendar OF
the Supreme Court OF the District of
Columbia, where suits involving more
than $50 may be carried, often involves a
delay In these trials Of more than
year"
This bill in its present form was sub
mitted to the committee on municipal
legislation OF the Chamber Of Commerce,
which represents 500 business men in the
District. and was unanimously approved
The report was also unanimously adopt
ed by the board Of directors Of that body
Among the reasons for the proposed
legislation are that Il would assemble
all the justices Of the peace in one build
ing, which will overcome an objection
that has heretofore been made requiring
litigants and attorneys TO 20 10 different
parts of the District 10 attend 10 small
matters of litigation.
