HALL A MEMORIAL
TO WASHINGTON
STRUCTURE COSTING SOME So
100000 PROPOSED AT THE
NATIONAL CAPITAL.
TO BE USED ONLY FOR THE
HOUSING OF LEARNED
SOCIETIES.

Washington, Nov 10.-Calling upon
eighty million Americans to pay the
moral debt they owe to the father of
their country, national movement
to erect for George Washington
memorial to carry out the ideas ne
asked and provided for on his death
bed has been set on foot in this city.
Headed by the George Washington
Memorial association and backed by
the Washington Academy of Sciences
and many patriotic, educational, med
ical, literary art and scientific bodies,
a widespread campaign is to be begun
at once to furnish this nation with a
George Washington memorial build.
ing at its capitol for the use IT every
institution for the diffusion of knowl
edge With the dollars and dimes of
every man. woman and child who
would see Washington's dearest wish
fulfilled on the coming 17Sth anniver-
sary Of his birthday, 1t is proposed to
build, brick by brick, this s2,50O,000
national auditorium and headquarters
where it is sadly needed by every
American organization for promoting
science, patriotism, art, literature ana
education.
In the last will and testament of
George Washington, the leaders In
this new memori al project are show
ing the warrant for all Americans to
carry out the last plans of their first
president for furthering the intellect
ual advancement of his new nation.
BY this instrument Washington per-
sonally provided $4,000 for the en-
dowment of an institution for higher
education, it is pointed out, and ex-
pressed a wish for the promotion Of
science and literature which has
still to be carried out by the people
who owe to him their country. To
provide a national center for every
organization now working toward
Washingtons ideals of the general
spread of knowledge is the patriotic
duty which the George Washington
Memorial association is preparing to
present to all the people.
Already the active support of the
National Academy of Sciences. the
American Medical association, the
National Federation of Arts. the As
sociation of American physicians and
scores of similar organizations has
been pledged to the work of raising
funds to erect the George Washington
memorial hall. Leaders in these and
other learned and patriotic societies
declare that the lack of such an ade-
quate auditorium in the city Of
Washington is a constant source of
shame to all such bodies, that must
represent America to the world. In
ternational and even national conven-
tions are at present either blocked or
disgracefully bungled at the capital OF
this country, they assert, solely for
the want of just the accommodation
that the proposed washington memcr-
iaI structure would afford.

PARIS IN JUNE.

Just as the Goths and the Vandals
descended on Rome 1000 years age,
so the Americans are invading the SUI
preme city of France, and each pant
ing steamship on the north coast de-
posts hundreds of voyagers, with
louis who are bound for Paris. The
smile of the Vandal hords and the
Americans and Rome and Paris ends
with the quantity, because in the
wake of the Americans there are
laughter and good cheer and roseate
prosperity instead Of the desolation
and horror which followed the Wis
its of the intruders to Rome.
The public of Paris smiles very
joyously this year because La pan
iaue Americana" is thing of the
past, and the shops of the Rue de la
Paix scintillate as in former years,
with the exception that each diamond
seems to have gained one karat In
the IL months. The ostrich plumes
seem to have increased their weight
and the silks have gained diversity
of color and in richness and splen-
dor. The same Americans are to be
seen bowed to their motors, slipping
tea in the chic restaurants and sitting
resoIutely in hundred-franc loges in
the theaters.
Society in Paris continues active
to the point of hysteria, and the
American born Baronne Seilliere and
la Marquise de Talleyrand-Perigo
are still able to dictate who are and
who are not good Americans" Ma
dame la Duehesse Dues, through her
New York Affiliations. graces many
star-spangled entertainments. There
is the diverting anecdote of a highly
matu duke, who. after lunching at
an American apartment, borrowed
five hundred francs. When his host
criticised this relic of the old noblesse
a friend observed, Dukes are quoted
very cheapiv on the Paris Bourse.
This anecdo,e proves how very hap,
PLY the Parisians and the Yankees
are mingling this season.
One sees at the countless afternoon
parties in Paris men in beautifully
tailored morning eoats-little tight
fitting Jackets with single button
literally finished with bindings OF sir
and braid. and with rolling collars moi
pressed at all. These coa,5 are to DC
seen in black and gray vicuna. and

fast.

DR. Wood Hutchinson, iconoclast-in-
ordinary to the medical profession, as
usual upsets our previous ideas OF
bodily health in an article in Woman s
Home Companion Doctor Hutchin-
son has a faculty for restoring to us
our self-respect, and assuring us that
left alone, we are not such idiots,
after all. In this particular article,
for instance, he points out that the
idea of eating little in the summer
time is fallacy. OF breakfast, for
instance, he says:
1T is customary to MI sc the first
meal of the day slightly the lightest
and distinctly the plainest and sim
plest of the three If there be any de-
ficiency of the appetite, breakfast is
the meal at which this is most likely
to show itself But this lack of appe-
tite is In nine cases out OF ten clearly
traceable to sleeping in an unventi-
lated room or to late hours in foul air
the night before, or to insufficient ex-
ercise the preceding day, and is no in
dication that the body really requires
less food at this time. Perfectly
healthy men who sleep with their
windows open and go to bed at rea-
sonable hour will tell you that they
enjoy their breakfast as well as any
other meal of the day, and many even
call it their best meal.
Another popular delusion In regard
to the Iightness and unimportance OF
the breakfast is that widespread sub
terfuge. the continental breakfast,
consisting of a cup of coffee and some
fruit or a single roll. This is pretty
breakfast as far as 1t goes, but II
doesn't go far: and the sole basis for
its adoption on the continent is that
it is only intended as temporary
tide-over. until the real breakfast OF
meat, eggs, fish, with beer or wine
which is taken at about ten or eleven
o'clock, like a very early luncheon.
If YOU haven't got a good appetite
for breakfast, make it your business
to go and get one, instead OF allow
ing yourself to be blinded by this
morbid state. of affairs and deciding
that all you really need is a cup OF
coffee and a roll or an orange or a
puff of breakfast-bran."

WANT TO FORGET.

If you would increase your happl.
ness and prolong your life. forget
your neighbours faults Forget all
the SANDER you ever heard. Forget
the fault-finding, and only remember
the good points which make you fond
of them. Forget all personal quarrels
of histories you may have heard by
accident, and which, If repeated,
would seem a thousand times worse
than they really are. Blot out, as far
as possible, all the disagreeableness
of life; they will come, but will only
grow larger when you remember
them. Obliterate everything disa-
greeable from yesterday, start out
with a clean sheet today. and write
upon it for sweet memory's sake only
those things which are lovely and low
able.-Exchange
