the lay reader sick to look at them and
sicker to read the descriptions or direc-

Belais, are being used vSily in nearly
all the medical colleges throughout this
country. as web as Europe.
One would. however. comfirt himself
with the thought that the animals de-
picted, which are actual photographs,
are anesthetized. but Mrs Belais says
they are not and quotes prominent
physician in asserting that anesthetics
have proved a curse In vivisection.

COSMOS.

With a whirl, a rush and a laugh,
Mother Goose sang and danced her
way into popular favor at the Cosmos
yesterday. 1t is one OF the best little
musical comedies Of the season. The
scene shows a huge shoe, the home Of
the "old woman" and her large family
whose pranks give her so much to do.
Jim Harkins, as Simple Simon, and Jesse
Mack, as Mother Hubbard, are the prfn-
cipal comedians and are doing all they
can to make life pleasant. responding to
many encores. Little Red Riding Hood,
Jack Horner, Bo Peep, Little Boy Blue,
and Jack and Jill are all chubby little
girlies who dance and sing well. A
rapid shadowgraph pantomime brings
the act to a novel closing.
The Morton Jewel troupe OF harmony
singers, club and baton tuggiers shared
the headline honors, and were also IA
vorites Their first work with the clubs
and excellent singing brought forth
rounds of applause. The De Michele
brothers, as italian street musicians,
with harp and violin. are well liked.
The Carlisles, Australian whip and
lariat experts, have a difficult and in
teresting act, and James Gildea amused
with his new routine OF patter and par
odies. It is one Of the best bills Of the
summer season.

CABINET IS ABSENT,
MEETING CALLED OFF
President Spends Day in His
Study Reading Documents
on Mexican Situation.

Because nearly all of the members
of the Presidents Cabinet were not in
the city today, the customary Tuesday
meeting was not held, and. in the ah-
sence Of any further developments in
the Mexican situation pending the ar
rival here OF Ambassador Wilson, the
PresidC:t saw no reason to assemble
the assistant secretaries for a confer
ence.
The President spent practically the
entire morning in his study in the
White House, examining papers and
documents of the State Department re-
lating. it is said, to the proposed new
treaty with Nicaragua. He saw no call
ers.
Secretary Bryan is still away on his
leCturing tour and will not return be-
fore Thursday. The following day he
and the President will confer with Am
bassador Wilson. Secretary Garrison
IS Inspecting army posts in the West,
and Secretary Daniels is visiting naval
stations along the Pacific coast and
making speeches. Other members OF
the Cabinet are out OF the city for

LAND GOOD BERTHS

Four young stenographers who work

room with rugs TO himself, and a large
roll-top mahogany desk.

Weather Conditions
Ideal at Glen Echo

With weather conditions making out
of door amusements very attractive
during the past two weeks. the attend
ance figures at Glen Echo Park have
been steadily climbing. and last night
was no exception to the rule. From
early until late the grounds were filled
with a merry crowd that rode the
coaster. dipped the dip, took turn on
the merry-go-round, circled the gyro-
plane, took a turn at the Ferris wheel.
and did the park amusements in
general.
In the dancing pavilion, the latest
dance was given its tryout, and the
"Firefiy." while not yet perfected, bids
fair to be as popular as the two others
which Glen Echo introduced, the
Shadow and the Spotlight"
With the fireworks scheduled for
Thursday night and the big gathering
of fans Friday night to celebrate
Walter Johnson Night the week
promises to be busy one at Glen Echo.
Every night two new films Of motion
pictures will be shown and for Friday
the management has secured a film
showing one Of the worlds series games
Sunday the usual series of concerts
by the Soldiers Home Band will be the
special feature.

COLUMBIA PLAYERS
IN SUFFRAGE FARCE
Hoyt's "A Contented Woman"
Is Ably Produced by Mem
bers of Stock Company.

Sly digs at the woman suffrage move
ment form a large portion Of the hu-
NOR In "A Contented Woman" given
by the Columbia Players this week. The
play Is a farcical comedy in four acts
by Charles Hoyt. Most OF the situations
are ridiculous, but under these many a
feature of the modern feminist move
ment is held Up to quiet laughter.
The scene Is laid in Denver, and the
plot turns on the fact that a charming
young woman is induced to run for
mayor Of the city in opposition to her
husband. She is elected, but 1t is then
discovered she cannot serve. as her po-
litical friends have omitted to take into
account her age, which is not yet twen-
ty-one. Ballots for her are consequent
ly cast out. and her husband stands
elected, to her great Joy and the dls-
comfture of several scheming "fe-
males"
The situations permit a good deal Of
broad comedy. but many true phases OF
politics, as II Is conducted in some To-
calities, are sharply brought out.
Miss Helen Holmes was charming
mayoralty candidate. and Mr.. Butter
field was her husband, "the reform"
candidate. Especially pretty was Miss
Jessie Glendinning as the notorious"
Mrs. Ebbsmith.
A suffragette parade in the last act
permitted the display of pretty dance
by Miss Ruby Raymond. Miss Ray
mond also sang well. Miss Carrie
Thatcher as Aunt Jim. an earnest ad-
vocate of woman suffrage, was anus
ing and made an attractive figure In
real trousers. A number of banners
were introduced which appeared Ia
miliar to Washingtonians through re-
cent suffrage demonstrations.
The play was heartily enjoyed. ap-
parently, the good points in the suf-
frage debates being followed with In
terest. The offering provides a whole
ment.

MOSLEMS GAINING
AFRICAN RECRUITS
U. S. Diplomat Believes Africa

Mohammedans.

'Mohammedanism seems to be doomed
IN Europe, but IT is not diminishing in

general at Moscow Russia The in

II II ever disappears, but the vast power
IL has possessed. due to Turkey, must
necessarily diminish as a result Of the
Balkan war.
But what Mohammedanism has lost
In Europe IL will probably gain in Africa
and other parts Of the world. There ap-
pears TO be little doubt that Mohammed-
anism is extending its influence and its
geographical territory in Africa In
Portuguese East Africa, for instance,
the Mohammedans are gaining in num-
bers and influence. The principal city
Of that country. Lorenzo. is populated
by a large number OF negroes, some Of
whom are Mohammedans and some
1T Is a remarkable fact that the
Portuguese negroes, who. II they have
any religion, are Christians, are the
lower order of inhabitants. Portugal
sends TO this possession a large guam
tity OF wine which is purchasable at
approximately a penny a glass. The
negroes who are not Mohammedans buy
large quantities Of the wine. and. /. is
needless TO say, do not make desirable
citizens.
The Mohammedans. on the other
hand, are not only temperate in their
hal bits, but are almost prohibitionists.
The result is that the Mohammedans
make the better citizens. It viii be only
a matter Of time, in my judgment. when
the Mohammedans will have control OF
practically the whole of Africa.

Naval Captain First
To Face New System

With the distinction of being the first
officer of the navy to come up for pro-

Under the new system of eXamina-
ton, Captain Mayo is not only re-
quired to show that he had been in

Secretary of the Navy the personal
opinions Of its members regarding the
general fitness of the candidate to com

his subordinate officers and men.
