Many of Sex in Capital
Win Honors in Professions

Estimates of the opinion regarding
women set forth by Judge Grosscup have
been given by several Washington woman
lawyers and doctors in forcible manner.
1t is probable that his honor has not
had experience with the many Washing
ton women lawyers, some esteemed lead
ers of their legal speciality. If he had
1t is believed by the woman lawyers he
would not have to resort to the pitcher
throWer as an example.
Some Distinguished Women.
1t is possible to find in the Department
diplomas from law school in this city
whose work is purely of legal character
and who have been advanced because Of
their legal ability. Also in the patent
office there is at least one woman with a
knowledge Of patent law that makes the
men hustle to keep step with her.
The principal authority on patent law
as it pertains to household goods and
woman's wear is. very appropriately. a
woman. Another Washington woman.
with a name known round the world. has
recently received an eighteen-thousand-
dollar fee for successfully engineering
several claims
And Washington women ask if that is
not proof that Judge Grosscup is not
familiar with Washington women and
their ability, what will suffice to confute
him?
Women can reason, too, is the rebuff
given to the Judge. Not every woman
does. but neither is the male animal OF
the human species endowed with so much
reason that it runs over and spread
equally thick on all men.
Mrs. Mussey in Rebuttal.
Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey, lawyer.
said about this matter:
"Women are naturally judicial. If a
mother does not make fair and wise de-
cisions in bringing up her child she loses
the respect of that child. In housekeep-
ing she has a mass of details to look
after. and generally succeeds in keeping
them all straight.
1--WE have some very fine women law
yers. also some good women doctors. I
do not believe Judge Grosscup knows ex-
actly what he If talking about-or else he
has not had the opportunity to see a
Washington professional woman at
work"

The Forests of Mindoro.

From Science.
The island of Mindoro lies about a hun
bred miles southwest of Manila. and con-
tains little less than four Thousand
square miles. A mountain chain extends
it's whole length, rising at one point to
$500 feet. and this is bordered with foot
hills and broad alluvial coastal plains.
Nearly two-thrds of this area is covered
with forests, the remainder is nearly all
uncultivated grass lands. only about L
per cent being under cultivation. A de-
scrptive pamphlet. prepared by NJ. l..
Merritt of the Philippine bureau. gives a
list of tree species collected in Mindoro
and smaller adjacent islands, number
ing 500 species. When we remember that
these occur upon an area equal to about
half dozen counties the richness OF the
forest flora may be appreciated.

Impresses Him Favorablv.

1mpresses Him Favorably.
John Joy Edison expressed himself in
the matter as follows:
For many years it has been obvious
that settled plan for municipal finances
should be evolved and decided upon.
Several attempts have been made in this
direction. 1t will be remembered that
several years ago the Board of Trade
and other organizations recommended an
additional bonded debt of $12,OOO,OOO to
carry out necessary extraordinary inn
ing, sewerage disposal system, parks. etc:
ut was not favored by Congress and
no action was taken.
1.-The plan suggested by Maj. Judson is
different from anything suggested here
tofore and deserves careful considera-
ton and Endorsement in order that per-
manent financial condition Of District
finances may be obtained. The plan inn
presses me favorably. 1t extends the
payment of the Indebtedness of the Dis
to about thirty years. Any additional
bonded debt If authorized would require
about that time to extinguish. 49,.
Should the plan be adopted we will
to be applied to the principal and inter
est of the debt of the District. which
is to be first deducted from our available
revenues. and it would be definite and
certain what amount would be avaliable
yearly for extraordinary improvements.
fixed at more than million dollars a
year, and amounting, in the period fixed
by Maj. Judson, to about twenty mil
lions. 1t would be reasonable to say
1t seems to me, that that sum would
be SUFFICIENT and safe to expend in that
time for extraordinary improvements.
THE remaining available revenues for
current expenses will be. it is clear. suf-
ficient. II this financial plan is ADOPTED
and faithfully carried out, it would, in
my opinion. put our finances in good con-
dition; we would know what to rely upon
and it would bring about as good results
as could be expected.
ut possibly might have tendency to-
ward revising and increasing of taxation,
but not necessarily so. While the as
sessments and taxation should be ade-
quate to meet current expenses, fixed
charges and all obligations of the Dis
trict. at the same time care should be
taken that excessive assessment and tax
alton should be avoided.
.In fact, insufficient assessment and
excessive assessment and taxation are
both to be avoided
Fine Foundation for Growth.
Charles j. Bell, who has given the
matter some attention, said:
F. 1.-The general plan strikes me favOrably.
I think Maj. Judson has laid fine foun-
dalton for future growth in the District
Of Columbia"

Boiled Ham Probable Cause. =,
The eating of boiled homeless, ham by
the cadets of the Georgia Military Acad-
envy is believed to be directly responsible
for the development of ptomaine poison in
that institution. AS Atlanta is the dis
tHibuting center of large section of the
south. it is suggested by an official of the
military school that the diseased meats
found their way from Atlanta to the other
institutions affected: 1T; is. an alarming

outlines of landscape such as is usually
found in the vicinity of such structures.
This is the case with the building in
question, for it will be located in the
midst of wide sweep of acreage prop

of Connecticut avenue and north of the
building which was formerly known as
the Chevy Chase Inn.
The northern end of the property APP
proaches the Chevy Chase lake. so that
while it stands some distance in Mary

instead of being thrust upon it. as is so
often the case of structures erected in
the country.

The Worth of Foot Ball.
From the Century.


The physical and mental development
produced in the individual player is not
all that may he cited in its support.
Those who look beneath the surface find
i'm foot ball in the United States some
thing to supply that lack Of rigid dis
cipline for which the American youth, ex-
cept possibly at West Point and An
napolis, suffer in comparison with those
OF other peoples. Not only does the
rigid training establish self-control in
those who play, but the game holds up
standard of discipline to those who
observe it, And it must be admitted
that this side of the argument is a
strong one, while the fact that it offers
almost the ideal measure of effort fol-
lowed by immediate relaxation renders 1t
far less tax on the vital organs than
the ma iority of our contests. AS it In
wolves personal physical contact, it al
ways will he strenuous sport, appealing
to the vigorous healthy boy.

Macadam Road Economy.
From : , Century.

have no doubt that it will surprise
most people here to learn how little ma
terial is used in the making of some OF
the finest roads In Europe. The average
thickness Of the national roads of France
is only five and one-half inches; IL per
cent OF them are less than two inches
thick, and ~ per cent are less than four
inches thick. Yet they stand constant
and often heavy traffic with impunity and
are always in a perfect state of repair
Perfect repair is, indeed, essential, for
1t needs no argument to show that roads
so thin must be free from irregularities
it they are to stand at all.

LEADERS EXPRESS SURPRISE
LEAGUE POSI-
TON IN CAMPAIGN.
W. II. Anderson Declared to Have
Made Erroneous Statement Re-
garding Democratic Candidate.
ial Corrcspopdence of The Star.

Special Correspondence Of The Star
ROCKVILLE, Md, October 30, 1909.
Members of the Montgomery County
Anti-Saloon League were incensed at the
appearance in a Baltimore paper of an
article, signed by William H. Anderson.
superintendent of the State Anti-Salocn
League. in which it was stated that
all the candidates for the legislature in
Montgomery county were satisfactory to
the league, excepting John A. Garrett,
democrat, and Senator Lee, democrat,
and advising that Albert E. Shoemaker,
the republican and prohibitionist candi-
date for the house OF delegates. be COM
bined on to defeat Garrett. 1t was stated
by Frank Higgins. the leagues attorney.
and j. Calvin Muncaster, secretary, that
all the candidates for the legislature had
sent satisfactory letters in reply to the
letters OF the league asking them to state
their position. in the event of their cleo
ton, on the statewide local option bill
to be introduced in the approaching legis-
lature, and that the league had decided
to take no part for or against any par
ticular candidates.
Higgins Open Letter.
The publication provoked the following
open letter from Mr.. Higgins to Rev.
Thomas D. Richards, president of the
county league:
Il was very much surprised to see in a
Baltimore paper today, under the head
ing Local Option Candidates. what pur-
ports to be the official bulletin of the Anti
Saloon League. prepared by w. H. Ander-
son. superintendent of the state league.
The statement under Montgomery coun-
ty.' that all democrats and republicans
answered satisfactorily except Lee (sena-
tori. right last time. and Garrett demo
craft; combine on Shoemaker republican
and prohibitionisD to beat Garrett must
have been prepared by Anderson before
the letters from Lee and Garrett were
received by you. 1 Understood that the
letters from Senator Lee and Mr.. Garrett
were satisfactory and that the league
would not fight any candidate.
The article will be construed by the
voters that this league is fighting both
Lee and Garrett. While. personally, l in
tend to vote for Shoemaker. and would
like to see him elected, 1 must protest
against any unfair discrimination against
either Mr. Lee or Mr.. Garrett. Such a
position as taken by Mr.. Anderson was
not authorized by this league and does
not reflect the correct attitude of the
league in this county toward the candi-
dates"
