cOPENHAVER IS BUILDING
NEAR DUPONT CIRCLE
TWo-Story Business Structure
to Be Added to Collection
in That Section.

A business building is being erected by
w. A. Copenhaver on the east side of
Connecticut avenue between Dupont cir
Gle and @ street, which will be completed
in the course of two or three months. 1t
will be two stories in height and like
practically all the buildings In the tri-
angular piece Of ground on which it is
located will be designed for use for store
purposes. At the present time Mr.. Copen-
haver has no plans for the use Of the
new building.
In the immediate neighborhood Of the
new building, although the general local.
tty Is given up to residences. it will be no
novelty to have a store, as buildings used
for such purposes have been on the par
ticular square for years. Owing, however,
to the recent movement in property along
Connecticut avenue to the south of Du-
pont Circle, which has resulted In the
erection of a good many store buildings,
in place of residences. there Is naturally
much interest in any changes which in
dicate q further advance or the move
ment north of the circle.
At the present time the building which
Is being erected by the United States
Trust Company at the southeast corner
OF Connecticut avenue and Dupont circle
and will be used for a branch Of the
company is nearing completion. while
farther to the south the residence 1147
Connecticut avenue Is being changed and
remodeled into a business building.

For This Country Is not Going to the Dogs

When YOU read the trouble the mine and in the MILL
When you read about the lockout and the strike;
When dshonor and dishonesty your morning papers fill
In a way citizen ike
Then there comes strong temptation to have doubts about the
nation,
And to fear some dark disaster in the fogs;
But take heart honest fellow don show streak yellow
For this country is not going to the dogs!
When you read of politics in city and in state
When you read of Juggling justice on the bench;
When price food makes eaner day mans plate
When the social muck is making quite stencil;
Then may fairly wonder there hasen crime or blunde
Been monkey wrench dropped in among the cogs;
But state of abect terror is most colossal error
For this country is not going to the dogs!
For this good old Ship America has weathered many gae
She has sailed through many thch fog BEFORE
And have learned the habit Of not knowing how to a
Howsoeer the stormy around my roar;
She and and and though and skies be

Let US leave all coward croakng to the frogs,
Let US face manly fashion all the panic and the passion
For this country is not going to the dogs

SCHOOL PLAYeRouNps.

+ has always been recognized that wherever 1t was possible good sized school yards for play during recess periods should be provided These have been used in various ways, but perhaps with not a full appreciation of their value during the periods of relaxation from studies and for the brief time before the sessions of school
 With the growing sentiment in be- half of playgrounds there is an in- creased demand for larger school yards. The state boards of education in Pennsylvania and Virginia will not approve plans for new school build ings that do not provide for adequate playgrounds. Tn Little Rock, Ark, the standard of one full block to 9 school has been carried out with every one of the schools for white children and in Pueblo, Col, all but one or two schools have full blocks. Gary, Ind. schools vary from two to eleven acres and in San Angelo Texas at least two blocks are given to eveCy school and some have ten acres.
 Tn the opinion of II. $. Curtis who has been Investigating the subject for the United States bureau of education. City schools need a good sized school yard because there is no other place to play Country schools need a large yard because at home there is no one to play with, except in the simplest games for little children" He points out the deDand for such yards is not only for the sake of organized play but because of the other activities con nected herewith they are nearly as important as a classroom in the con duct of a modern school.

RULING AGAINST THE LAW.

There is likely to be further con- sideration of the conflict between state laws and the decision recently handed down by the postmaster general con- corning the shipment of game by par eel post. IL Is his order that such must be accepted for transmission by pOstmasters whenever offered regard less of the state laws which forbid the sending of certain game beyond the state limits. That seems to be over riding the states efforts for the pro- tection of game in an unwarranted manner By his action the postal sys- tenn is able to destroy the effectiveness of state laws and offers the channel through which the violation of the law Is to be encouraged It is the provid- ing of the means and the encourage ment of the violation of the law which places the order of the head of the department in a peculiar light
 The post office department is sup posed 10 frown upon the carrying on of illegal business through it's means Of transportation. Using the mail to carry ca profitable enterprise which would not be able to exist otherwise or could not live through the pursuit of such methods if dependence was placed upon local patronage is wig orously opposed by the government. It is therefore difficult to understand how such A ruling could be made which operates against state conditions which have been found undesirable and to which a stop should be put If it is beyond the power of the postmaster general 10 order otherwise the need for giving 1t to him is apparent.

COMMITTEEMAN PENNEY.

IL will be generally recognized through the state regardless of party that in the selection of Judge William F. Henney of Hartford as the national republican and in Judge Henney a man state. as the successor to Charles F. BrOoker of Ansonia, a highly com mendabie selection has been made. The office calls for a representative citizen Of Connecticut and a representative republican and in June Henney a man Of the proper qualifications has been found. He is a man of the type of his predecessor when his party standing and qualifications are considered.
 The unanimity of the action of the state central committee well indicates the recognition of his merits as viewed throughout the state and indicates that in him the party in this state is to have the representation which it should before the national organi- zation- Ills selection without the dis play of any of the factionalism which has characterized some of the state party action is particularly significant. From his career in politics and his administration of the office of mayor of Hartford much satisfaction Is 10 be gained through his selection
 The duties of national committeeman are not such as to require a great amount Of time. but they are vitally important 10 the state. That a man who will do credit to his party and state when called upon has been named to represent Connecticut is the firm conviction of the party members.

PRENpEReAsTrs RETURN.

Not a little significance is attached to the action of Controller w. A. Prem dergast of New York city in with drawing from the progressive party and again joining the republican forces. His action Is not that of a sudden impulse. It has been contemplated for some time and comes as the result of a sound analysis of the political situation and the thorough understand Ing of the illusion which has been to a large degree responsible for the existence of the third party.
 When MT. Prendergast declares that ''the continuation of the third party movement could have no other effect than the permanent success of the democratic party" and that further statement wherein he sayss T have always believed that it's vote repre- scented the great popularity of Col Roosevelt and the influence of his ire mendous personality he Justified his desertion by good sound reasoning based not only upon personal obser- vations but upon the revelations which have Subsequently, been made through out the country.
 By his action MT. Prendergast has only followed hundreds of thousands and preceded another vast army WIlcn is bound to be moved by the same realization of the situation. The third party has only put the elections in the hands of the democrats and will con- tinue to do so as long as the talk of -Armageddon" is allowed to sway bet ter judgment The real important op portunity for progressive effort lies now as it has in the past, wi.hin the republican party.

SANITY IN ATHLETICS.

Many are the grounds upon which the plea for sanity in athletics can be based It must be realized that train ing in such lines should not be over done any more than in the classroom. This of course obtains whether they are pursued separately or together. There should be certain amount of athletic activity for the proper devel- cient diligent study for the develop ment of the mind. but the idea that it should be carried to excess is founded upon a wrong principle
 That there were fourteen deaths from football the past season, all but two of which were in minor schools may not sufficiently indicate that ath- ietics are being overdone for accidents win happen whether the game is being overplayed or not, out from the situa- ton which has developed in Missouri as disclosed by Prof Ii. J. Davenport, head of the department of economies in the University of Missouri, it is cme that serious consideration should be given To the plea for sanity. l. was there that a class refused to the best football players were liable 10 funk and thus become ineligible to play fur4her-

It is really a mental affliction to harbor the con- ceit that we know about all there is worth knowing.

Perhaps they could not have made the men sdFmeunt such ob- stacles as we conquered that day, but they show their ignorance when they fill the papers with denials of such facts.
