HUNT, IN LETTERTO
CAROL|N|AN, SINGS
PRAISE OF CAPITAL
Chairman Runs Into Ecsta-
cieS in Description of
City's Charms.

That Washington ''is the most beau
tiful capital of the fairest, and most
blessed nation on Gods green footstool," d"
and possesses other desirable qualifica~
tions not possessed by other American
cities, and particularly by Asheville, n.
c., is the answer made today by Gran
Vile NJ. Hunt, chairman of the con-
ventions committee OF the Chamber Of
Commerce, to n. Buckner, secretary of
the Ashevllle Board of Trade, who has
challenged Washington's invitation to
members of the Associated Ad Clubs OF
America to hold their 1913 convention
timore.
Washington and Asheville are en-
gagged In a controversy over their re-
spective attractions. Asheville has the
idea that she wants the next Convcn-
ton OF the Ad men, notwithstanding
the advocacy of Baltimore by Washing
ton: Mr.. Buckner has so told Mr.. Hunt
and furthermore has set forth the
charms of the North Carolina city
'above the clouds in his answer 10
Mr.. Hunts invitation
The latter invites the other to come
down out of the clouds" for few min
utes and consider the relative beauties
of the two cities and hands out some
eloquence in passing.
Has the thought ever occurred tc
yoS,' writes Mr.. Hunt, that tins
Washington that have been talking
about, famous all over the civilized
world for its magnificent bouevards, its
thousands and thousands of acres oi
beautiful parks. its palatial homes. it,
magnificent public buildings, its streets
lined on either side with the most
! beautiful specimens Of the North Amer

laved by the ripping waters of the blue
and placid Potomac, from whose bosom
the succulent shad Is taken. is YOUR
Washington, and that we, who are for
tunate enough to live here, are simply
your hired men?
1--WE believe In Washington because
we know that, as above stated, II /:
the most beautiful place on the map
We are helping everybody to realize
that fact, but the fact that we wist
to Law especial stress upon is this
Washington is the most beautiful CAP
ital of the fairest and most blessed

Melvin Explains
Enforcement of
Inspection Laws

Dr. A. D. Melvin, chief of the Bureau
Of Animal Industry, of the Department
OF Agriculture. who with Secretary Will
son is the target for the charges made
by Congressman Nelson against the
meat inspection service. has issued a
statement from the Department. in
which he seeks to correct a popular mis-
apprehension as to the administra ton
Of the inspection laws and the use of
the term diseased" as applied to meat.
DR.. Melvin says that the inspection
service has been criticised for passing
slightly affected with local tuberculosis.
The only foundation for the charge, he
says, is that the healthy and wholesome
portion of carcass Is passed by the
inspectors after slightly diseased glands
or organs have been removed. The meat
or flesh may not be affected In any par
ticular. The highest authorities in the
United States agree that an entire car
cass is not hurt by such local affec-
ton.
THE idea OF eating the meat of a
slightly diseased animal may be re-
pulsive to the average Citizen" says Dr.
Melvin, but this does not mean that
person eats diseased meat
"A carcass can be wholesome, yet the
animal killed may have a tuberculosis
nodule In the lungs or liver. One organ
may show a lesion, but this does not
hurt the rest of the animal The in
spector decides what shall be passed
and what shall be condemned, always
giving the consumer the benefit of every

lie says. reported that there was never
an animal killed. that was not in some
portion diseasedin a stricter sense.

for the training of women nurses has a
desirable effect upon the number who
become Interested. In the twenty years
before 1896, when the womens hospltal

diploma of ambulance nurse. In the last
sixteen years the number has increased
to 1,540.
Preparatory courses are given in many
French hospitals and schools, and first

young women in practically all parts or

times of peace, and who hold themselves
In readiness for service during war
Their work is almost entirely confined
to nursing the sick, other work being
done by men. \ volunteer reserve Or
ganization of women nurses has also
been former, as the regular service
would not be adequate in time OF war.
Ar important feature of these sister
hoods which is peculiar to Germany Is
that old and incapacitated nurses are
taken care of in old age homes, where
they have free lodging, board, clothing

PLANS MATURING
TO OBSTRUCT ALL
TARIFF MEASURES
Senate Regular Republicans
Oppose Bill, Except Those
of Tariff Board.

That Senate regular Republicans have
been quietly maturing a plan to defeat
tarin legislation at this session on all
schedules that have not been passed on
by the tariff board became freely tatlked
about the Capitol this afternoon.
Senator Cummins and leading Demo-
Gratis are planning, by Progressive Re-
publican and Democratic votes, to pass
a steel bill, sugar bill, a wool bill, and
cotton bill. The Senate regulars are
figuring on beating this plan by abb
senteeism.
In the case of the steel bill for in
stance, the House bill will first be
beaten and then, II the Cummins bill
Is adopted as a substitute, II will be
necessary to reconsider the vote by
which the House or Democratic bill
is lost. The regulars can block this
by being absent, get the Democratic
bill passed and thus give the President
a good excuse for veto. The same
Is true of the sugar bill The same
process can be used to beat the will and
cotton tariff legislation, provided the
schedules are put lower than the regu-
lars want them.
