Brown for Director of
Chamber of Commerce

The stiffness surrounding the coming
election Of officers and directors Of the
Chamber of Commerce has been broken
by campaign started by friends
and admirers Of Glenn Brown, secretary
Of the American Institute Of Architects
and chairman of the Chambers special
committee on the future development of
Washington. Letters were received to-
day by members Of the Chamber, re-
questing that they lend their support
to Mr.. Brown for director of the or
ganization.
The communication recites the reasons
why Mr.. Brown should be elected a
director. His work as chairman Of the
committee on the future development
of Washington Is pointed out as one of
the most important functions of the
Chamber. He has been actively en-
gagged, it is said. in a quiet campaign
to make the MILAN Park Commission
plan for the development Of the Capt.
tai a matter Of law, whereas It Is now
matter only of sentiment with the
American people.
The campaign which Mr.. Brown and
other officers Of his committee Is wag-
ing has reached to the four corners of
the country, with the result that many
architects organizations an dother soci-
eties have sent communications to Con-
gress urging that the Park Commission
plan be strictly adhered to and devel-
oped as rapidly as possible.

fore a court-martial board for disobey-
ing the orders of his superior in refus-
ing to go to sea. In the torpedo boat Bid

The trial, which began last Thursday,
will not end before Tuesday. 1t is said
that more than a score Of officers will
testify as to the condition of the Bid
die at the time Ensign Sauhey was Or
dered to take the boat to sea. Ensign
Saufley declares the Biddle was unsea-
worthy, and after making one trip to
carry supplies to the collier Sterling,
which was stranded near Cape Henry,
he refused to again go out in the craft.
He says he did not relish the idea OF
placing forty-odd men in danger by TAX
ing them to sea In boat he consid-
cred unsafe.
Naval officers, a majority OF whom
appear to be In sympathy With the en-
sign, say whatever the verdict OF the
court may be friends of the young Of

Sciau.is.y Give
Great Aid to War
Upon Phosphorus

II the annual convention OF the
American Association for the Advance
ment of Science had done nothing but
help the anti-phosphorus bill toward
enactment by Congress. the meeting Of
thousands of scientists just over would
have been q great step forward. in the
opinion Of every man who attended the
convention.
The bin which prohibits the use of
phosphorus in matchmaking was in
dorsed by half dozen Of the different
bodies which met here, and sentiment
in behalf of the bill was Increased by
the addresses Of officials Of the Bureau
Of Mines before the Association for
Labor Legislation and other bodies.
Then, too, the Bureau Of Mines had
an exhibit at the labor legislation
headquarters in the Raleigh. which
made q powerful impression on every
one who saw 1t. Photographs were
visible Of men and women who have
contracted ''phossy jaw" from two or
three years work in match factories
where phosphorus IL used in manu-
facture. 1t was shown that men and
women have had to have the lower
or upper jaws amputated because Of
the ravages Of disease contracted from
phosphorus.
picture Of Lizzie Brown. a woman
of twenty-six years, was shown. She
had been a match factory worker only
three years when she got ''phossy
jaw" Amputation of the upper jaw
became necessary. and the roof of her
mouth now rests on her tongue.
Lizzie Brown now il seeking work," ="
runs the inscription on the photograph; ;
such work as woman can do who
has only the strength to be gained
from liquid food the rest Of her life.
The Lizzie Brown demonstration Of
the horrors Of the phosphorus worker
was only one of q dozen. Cases might
be multiplied indefinitely. It Is stated.
The Bureau Of Mines and its work
received more advertising Of the right
kind than practically any other Gov
ernment bureau during the convention.
and its officials were much In evil
dence as speakers ut various meetings,
addresses by them having been re-
quested on q variety of topics relating
to the work of the mining bureau.
In contrast to these facts and evf-
dencee of the usefulness Of the bureau
is the situation arising from the fall
ure Of Congress to appropriate money
for the work Of the bureau in the ur-
gency deficiency bill. and the expert
ment station OF the Bureau Of Mines
will have to close down, 1t Is declared.

New Pay Day Plan
Satisfies Teachers

District school teachers appear to he
we'll satisfied with the resolution of the
Board of Education In asking the Com
missioners to establish a regular pay
day on the sixth of the month.
1t is believed the movemnt will meet
with success, although many teachers
have intimated that the regular payday
on the first of the month is nothing
more than is coming to them.
They argue that the firemen and police
men get their pay on the first of the
month and other employees of the Dis
trict are paid twice a month regularly
on the first and sixteenth.
The matter Is expected to come be-
fore the High School Teachers Ass0cla-

Scientists are sometimes little

reasons because of his proposal for an
international commission on the cost
OF living. II myself was not long ago
represented as having declared that the
high cost OF living was due to the hook
worm-I had mentioned that widespread
diseases which lowered the efficiency of
men and women might be one Of the
contributing factors to the increased
prices of commodities.
The trouble Is that there Is a wide
difference in point of view between
scientists and newspaper men, and
neither understands the other very well
as rule. For the benefit of both hope
that this gulf will be bridged. and that
