CONGRESS URGED
TO TAKE ACTION
ON DISTRICT BILLS
Chamber of Commerce Will
Send Appeal to Members
of Committee.

The appeal of the Chamber of Com
merce to Congress for action upon pend
ing District legislation was completed
today by subcommittee OF the law and
legislation committee, of which Charles
W. Clagett was appointed chairman by
A. Leftwich Sinclair, chairman of
the committee. The latter will call to-
day a meeting of the whole committee
TO act upon the report.
The Washington Chamber OF Com
merce begs leave to call attention to
the large mass of important legisla-
tion affecting the District of Columbia,
the seat of the government Of the
United States, now pending before Con-
gress,' reads the proposed appeal to
the members Of the House District
Committee.
Hard OF Get Quorum.
For some reason unknown to the
people or the District Of Columbia, It
seems to have been impossible during
the present session to secure quorums
or the Committee on the District of
columbia Of the House OF Representa-
tives, and as a result, very few OF the
many important pending bills affecting
the National Capital have been acted
upon or even considered.
rs II just or right that the District
should be neglected in this way?
The people of the District are with
out representation in Congress. They
can neither initiate nor directly urge
needed legislation. II members of Con-
gress neglect their duties. the people of
the District are remedyless. They have
only the right Of petition In the exer-
else of this right the Chamber of Conn
merce appeals to the patriotism, pride.
and sense of fairness OF the members OF
Congress.
Only Asks Justice.
The District asks for only justice in
the premises, not favor.
THE Chamber Of Commerce appeals
to you for help in the premises. and
earnestly asks that you exert your in
fiuence to bring about action on the i'm.
portant bills affecting the District nov
pending before Congress. without fur
ther delay"
1t Is expected that as soon as the
report of the subcommittee is ap-
proved the appeal will be taken To
every member of the House District
! Committee and every effort made to get
meeting of the committee to clear
the committee calendar of District busi-
ness.

FALSE IDEAS OF PERFECTION
Absurd Development of Muscle Has
Little Part in Production of
Perfect Athlete.

A recent portrait of a lumpy ath-
lete, who invites others, and not with
out success, to try his system OF
physical development, shows that the
false idea of physical perfection
which obtained for so many years, and
which demanded huge and knobby
muscles of its disciples, has not yet
quite died out. This type of manly
perfection, once useful perhaps to
hang armor upon, was thought to pos
sess the sanction of the golden age
of artistry when the lubberly Farnese
Hercules came to light, to be hailed
as a supreme product of the Greeks
We know it now for an example OF
decadent Greek taste, fit companion
Of the absurd and sensational Lao
coon. 1t is naught but a type OF the
strong nan of vaudeville with his
clumsy masses of beef and his brain
of a spoiled child, fit only to push his
awkward dumb bells into the air, an
enviable sum of achievement truly
after a lifetime of work by a civilized
human being. No less than strength,
are speed and grace demanded of the
ideal athletes, likewise a face of re-
finement and intelligence to tell Of a
brain within to comprehend art, music
and literature, and the ability to plan
victories either of peace or war, Look
upon the Apollo Belvidere, which en-
bodies the true dreams of health and
mental and physical efficiency, with
its face of exquisite beauty above a
form whose lines are tranquil poetry,
yet shadow forth their readiness to
start into sinewy vigor when tho call
for action comes. Even the Indian,
the perfect savage, never resembled
the Farnese monstrosity, the emu
1ators of which find their place in
modern life so much better filled by
the derrick.-New York Medical Rec

GETTING CLOSE TO NATURE
As One Who Understands 1t, John
Burroughs Writes Of the Beauty
Of the Country.

To take the birds out Of my life
were the looping on so man. branches
from the tree; there is that less sur
face of LEAKAGE to absorb the sunlight
and bring my spirits in contact with
the vital currents. We cannot pursue
any natural study with love and en-
thusiasm without the object of it be-
coming a part of our lives. The birds,
the flowers, the trees, the rocks, all
become linked with our lives and hold
the key to u thoughts and emotions.
I certainly have found good in ev-
erything"-in all natural processes
and products-not the good" OF the
Sunday school books, but the good OF
natural law and order, the good OF
that system of things out of which we
came and which is the source OF our
health and strength. 1t is good that
fire should burn, even If it consumes
your house; 1t is good that force
should crush, ever if it brushes you;
it is good that rain should fall, even
If it destroys your crops or HOODS
your land.
Plague and pestilence attest the con-
stancy of natural law. They set us
to cleaning our relations to outward
nature. Only in a live universe could
disease and death prevail. Death is
a phase Of life, a re~distributing of the
type. Decay is another kind OF growth
The show and ~splendor of great

CLING TO OLD DESIGNATIONS
Sporting Language That Was Used IN
the Middle Ages Is Still Good
Form Today.

Much Of the language used in yari-
Gus sports is our inheritance from the
middle ages. Different kinds of beasts
when il companies were distinguished
by their own particular epithet, which
was supposed to be in some tanner
descriptive Of the habits of the ami
mails. To use the wrong form of these
words subjected the would-be sports
man to ridicule.
Many Of these terms have passed
away, but some Of them are still re-
tanned. This list from the middle
ages is still good usage today. A pride
of lions," a '1ope" of leopards, a herd"
Of harts and Of all sorts of deer; a
"bevy" Of roses, a "sloth" of bears, a
singular" Of boars, a "soUnder" Of
wild swine, a route" of wolves, a
"harras' of horses, a fray" of colts,
a Stud" Of mares, a pace" Of asses,
a barren" Of mules, a team" of oxen,
a drove of kline, a flock" Of sheep,
a "trite" of goats, a "skulk" Of foxes,
a down" of hares, a next" Of rab-
bits, a "clowder" of cats, a "shrewd-
ness Of apes and a Tabor" of molcs.
Also Of animals when they retired
to rest, a hart was said to be Thar
bored" a roebuck %"bedded," a hare
formed" a rabbit set" Two grey.
hounds we're called a brace" but two
barriers were called a couple" There
was also a mute" Of hounds for a
number, a kennel" Of raches, a Tit.
ter" Of whelps and a "cowardice" OF
ours.
This kind Of descriptive phraseology
was not confined to birds and beasts
but was extended to the human spe
cies and the various propensities, ma
lures and callings.
