The perfect physical man has been
disclosed to the world in the person of
James Tharpe, "a year old student at
the Carlisle Indian School. Tharpe is
a full blooded Indian from Oklahoma.
This summer, at the Olympic games
held in Stockholm, Sweden, he received
trophys from the Gar of Russia and
the King of Sweden and was hailed as
the greatest athlete of all times. An ac-
curate record of his physical proportions
have been made, which will be officially
recognized by trainers as the standard of
the development of the perfect man.
We wish such men as this would do more
with their endurance, strength and
speed and agility than play football,

Tariff On Hemp To Be Maintained If Efforts
Of Rep. Canhiil Are Successful.

At the request of Kentucky hemp
growers, Representative Campbell Can
trill will this week appear before the
Ways and Means Committee in an effort
to have the tariff of $22. so per ton on
hemp maintained. Kentucky now
produces one half of the hemp used, the
remainder coming from Russia and Italy
and it is claimed that the present tariff
ratio is but fair. Eastern manufacturers
will ask for reduction, Mr.. Cantrill
on behalf of the growers will ask no
raise in the present duty, but only that
the present tariff be maintained.
Kentucky formerly produced $1,000
tons of hemp, but this has been reduced
to 5000 tons, the reduction being due
to the fact that cheap fibre from Manila
has taken the place of the better article.
There is nothing Objectionable from a
democratic standpoint in the growers
asking such a duty as would permit
equal competition, were they to ask a
duty that would prohibit competition, it
would smack of protection.

Attracting Much Attention.

The work on the water tower is
attracting much attention, and the men
at work $50 feet in the air, walking
around on the narrow iron work with as
much nonchalance as if on the ground,
are the subjects of much wonder and
comment. There is a consolation to
them though in the fact that they are
not compelled to listen to the usual
amount of advice which is Forthcoming
from idle onlookers, as those who are OBJ
serving the work confine themselves to
terra firma, and their suggestions do not
reach the ears of the aerial workmen.

PARKVIEW WANTS
NO SMALL HOUSES
Citizens Protest Against Building Any
with Less Than Sixteen
foot Front.

Legislation to prevent the construc-
ton Of residences having a frontage less
than sixteen feet is to be sought by the
Park View Citizens Association, which
adopted at their meeting at the Whit
ney Avenue Christian Church last night
a resolution TO bring this matter to the
attention Of the Monday Evening Club
following the consideration of informa-
tion OF the planned construction of a
block of ten or twelve houses in Park
View each residence having a frontage
of thirteen feet. John G. McGrath,
president of the association, appointed
Theodore L. Gachel, Z. c. Finney, and
A. Fl. Haltman a committee to consult
with the District Committee in Congress
upon such legislation.
Members of the association object to
construction of dwellings of less than
sixteen feet frontage on the grounds that
such structures are bound to bring alley
conditions with them. They claim that
so small residences will not only lower
the standard of the community by bring
ing undesirable people but that they are
undesirable anywhere in the city by
reason of their tendency to foster con-
ditions which social workers are at such
labor to improve

title companies, which were claimed by
members to be exorbtant, and, also, in

10 rent and receive the moneys from two
houses in Park View that have been
condemned for the opening of street
were two questions referred to the execu-
tive committee.
1t was pointed out at the meeting that
an income of between $500 and $500 a
wear was drawn by the District from the
rent Of houses condemned in 1909 for the
opening of a street Park View, and
that all the while the community which
was paying interest on the deferred pay
ments for this Improvement the cost
Of which had been assessed against
them. One member said that ii seemed
curious to him that the people of Park
View should be called upon to buy prop
erty TO add to the Districts revenues.
