| to Congress has proposed an amendment
to the law which will allow the commits
sion discretion in acquiring land which
makes the connection between the parks
| and which will not cost the government
so much money. If the administration
will not carry out the law as originally
framed. the modifying amendment pro-
posed by Secretary McAdoo should be
enacted at once and the connecting park
way constructed without further delay
The main considerations are the reclana-
tion of lower Rock Creek valley from
its present condition of dumps. weeds
and ugliness, and the connection of the
great river park and the Zoo grounds
and Rock Creek Park.
| The campaign for connecting Potomac
| Park and Rock Creek Park by the proper
| treatment of the lower end of Rock Greek
valley dates back to about the time Of the
| creation of Rock Creek Park and ante
dates the parking of the reclaimed Poto-
mac flats 1t has long been one of the
questions of capital improvement that
have been conspicuous in public discus
sion by The Evening Star and by the
Washington Board of Trade.
About the time of the crystallization of
into general public notice the plan for a
suitable connection between Potomac
Park the Zoo and Rock Creek Park. In
the latter part of 1900, as result of the
Districts centennial celebration. plans
for the treatment of that part of Wash
ngton lying south of Pennsylvania ave-
nue and north of 3 street southwest and
for the parking of lower Rock Creek val
ley were prepared under the direction OF
Brig Gen. John NJ. Wilson. chief of en-
eineers. L. :. A.. pursuant to the pro-
vision of an act of Congress approved
June g. 1900 These plans were trans
mitted to the Speaker of the House or
Representatives through the Secretary
of War. together with a special report
by Samuel Parsons, jr., the landscape
architect In transmitting the plans 10
the Speaker of the House Ellhu Root
Secretary of War. urgently recommended
favorable consideration and action. Park
way plans and parkway discussion con-
tinued active until the passage Of the
law in March of last year making an
appropriation for the beginning of the
work. If the appropriation is not deemed
sufficient for the construction of this
parkway according to the plans as pre-
pared, the plans should be modified so as
to bring the work within the limits OF
the appropriation. The main idea is TO
correct the eyesore of lower Rock Creek
areas of the capital.

who was standing behind them
There's nothing in the case warrant
ing such action" But I'm here" re-
piled the perplexed and unhappy
CLIENT.
There's no reason for your high
temperature" said the physician at the
bedside to patient down with
fever. Your appearance and weight
show that your organs are all right
You are only in state of mind. Get
up. cool off, and go about your busi-
ness. If YOU don't you may be-
come really sick" The perplexed and
unhappy patient looks hard at his
adviser, and then rolls over in despair.
If he is not sick. he is unable to lmag-
inc what real sickness may be.
The President told his business Wis
itors yesterday that his program is
absolutely necessary to satisfy the
conscience of the country and its per
ception of the prevailing conditions OF
business" But he did not take into
account or tell them how that con-
science had been produced.
An army of spellbinders two years
ago worked up the conscience of
the country on other questions besides
the trust question. The assertion was
made from ten thousand stumps that
the Payne law was responsible Tor
the high cost of living, and that re-
vision would fill the market basket
again at very low figure. Today
the country laughs grimly at having
been deluded on that subject
That same army of flamboyant spout
ers handled the trust question, and
with like systematic and scientific ls-
noranCe 1t was no more competent to
handle the one question than the
other but succeeded in influencing
the conscience of the country on
both.

Only Dreaming.

Whish. 'Tis the sound of the wind that
Strays
From the ice-locked depths of the
northern bays.
Where the snowfiakes fall to conceal the
lair
OF the sullen and watchful polar bear!
List to the sleighbells sounding light.
Where the moonbeams shine on the
landscape white!
The chill winds rattle the window frame,
But the hearth's aglow with the well
coming flame.
Let the snowf1akes dance to the wind S
refrain,
While the frost embroiders the window
pane
Then you hear these words. while you're
half awake,
THE iceman! Don't miss him, for
heaysn'e sakei's

SIMPLE BUT SURE!
Hyemei the Great catarrh Remedy.
 "Just Breathe It" and Be Cured.

Do not try to cure catarrh. head colds. or snuffies by taking drugs into the stomach that can do little more than upset the digestion. These com mon but dangerous diseases, that often cause the loss of hearing and the sense Of smell and taste, cannot be cured that way. The conmon-sense way is 70 breathe Hyomei, which gets the rnedi- cation right where it is needed to heal the raw and infiaTnmed lining of the air passages, kill the germs and restore the o1seased tissue to 6 perfectly healthy condition.
 Hyomei is a mixture of antfsept;c- and gcrmicidal oils ti1at you breathe throush a small inhaler. No bother: no disagreeabie medicine to swallow. simply use the inhaler few times daily and the health giving medication of Hyonei will quickly soothe and heal the irritated tissues-stop distressing choking and unclean discharges of the nese-you breathe freely-du11 head aches cease. and every catarrhal symp- tom soon vanishes.
 Druggists everywhere sell the Hy>- mel complete outfit that contains in haler and bottle of medicine. There is nothing more economical, simple and pleasant to use, or that gives such rapid and lasting benefit as Hyomei- | and perfectly harmless The Lee & Osgood Go. sells it on the "No-cure
 pay" plan.
