Urged to Take a Sandwich.

The rendezvous has not yet been
chosen, but the tentative time of the
start has been set at 2:30 o'clock. This
is to enable those who go to church
to attend to their religious duties and
eat their dinners before leaving home.
1t is urged. however, that participants
carry a sandwich in their pockets. as
walking creates an appetite
Many persons who have SO far ex-
pressed themselves have declared the
plan of the Alpine Club to be one of
the best which they have ever heard.
1t Is surely true that thousands of
Washingtonians who would like to get
out and walk in the woods have never
gone beyond the concrete streets be-
cause they do not know where to go.
Many. of course, take trolley car rides,
but the cleanest, dust-free air cannot
be obtained on car. Nor is it possible
TO see nature as advantageousiy.
When the unusual but public spirited,
proposal spontaneously came up in the
Alpine Club during one of its Sunday
walks It was determined that for the
sake of efficiency one of its members
should be selected as the leader of the
popular pilgrimages, the other members
with hearty good will. AS the leader OF
the walk, the hike or march. the club
chose John Boyle. an official of the
patent office. who has wide local repu-
tation as a botanist specializing in wild
flowers. ferns and moSSes. as a .ZoologiSt
specializing in reptilia and also known as
d oush-and-ready ornithoogist-a man
who has an extensive knowledge of the
permanent residents and migrant birds.

Labor Men Oppose.

Labor men condemned scientific
management as it has been introduced.
They quoted from books written by
authors of the systems to show that
its real aim is the employment of
cheaper men and the substitution of
mathematical formula for the in
d1vlduality, initiative and skill of the
individual workman, making them mere
machines and automatons. They pro-
tested that human nature would have

systematized

tlfic management would go to labor col

LOVERS Of NATURE
INVITED TO hike
Alpine Club Asks All Who En-
Joy Outdoors to Join in
Sunday RambIe.
NO OBLIGATION EXCEPT
TO BE A GOOD FELLOW
Opportunity offered to Study Birds
and Flowers and Breathe
Pure Air.

Lovers Of nature. lovers of the out
doors and those who feel within their
breasts the call Of the '.wanderhIst ~
are invited to take walk Sunday in
the deep woods. slens or open fields
about Washington. The invitation has
been extended by the Alpine Club, an
informal organization of men and wom-
en- engaged in scientific and professional
work who like to get out and walk
near TO natures heart" No dues or
obligations of any sort are connected
with the walk, which is to be the first
of several to be conducted by the club.
There is nothing but the spirit of good
eomradesnip in the proposal. There is
no other motive in it. Nobody is going
to make anything out of it except the
pleasure of the exercise.
The "Alpinos.' who have found 50
much enjoyment and so much benefit in
their iaunts through the beautiful
woods and fields about this city, recent
iy decided to invite al persons who so
desired to walk with them and share
The enjoyment. Many members of the
club believe that thousands of persons
and a desire to keep i'll the open that
would call them from their brick walls
to the great freedom of nature, but
who never 20 into the country to walk
for fear they might get lost or who
do not know where to go.
Much enthusiasm has met the an
nouncement of the Alpine club. and al
ready many prominent men and women
have commended the plan. The Al
pinos on their part. are planning to
take the first walk in the most beau
tifu1 section they can find. Also, the
members of the club explain that the
trip is not to be very long one. such
as would tire tender feet. and that any
who do not want to so the whole way
may drop out at any point and rest.

No Evidence of Abatement in
Effort of Citizens to Make
City More Sanitary.
GOOD WEATHER FAVORS
CRUSADERS IN THE WORK
DR.. Arthur L. Murray, Secretary of
the Committee, Addresses
Church Club.

With evidence of abatement in the
effort of citizens to make Washingto a
more sanitary city. the clcan-up cam
pagn begun last Monday entered upon
its closing stages today. assured of being
the most successful undertaking of its
kind ever launched in the National Cap
ital
Good weather has favored the crusaders
and made possible rapid removal of
refuse by the wagons of the District con-
tractor. Though the campaign formally
closes tomorrow. many citizens, it is ex-
pected. will continue the work of clean
ing up. while the trash wagons will be
kept busy next week disposing of the
excess material placed on premises for
collection.
Just what the campaign has accom-
plished will not be definitely known until
next week, when the executive committee
meets to receive reports from the citi-
zens' associations and other civic bodies
that have directed the work in various
sections of the city.
Citizens have responded literally to the
committees appeal for funds and it is
now assured that there will be sufficient
money to meet the expenses Incurred.
Will Reduce Number of Flies.
Cleanup leaders and health depart
ment officials believe that one of the i'm
mediate results of the campaign will be
a reduced fly population. They pointed
out today that there are now fewer flies
in evidence than is usually the case at
this time of the year.
Commenting upon this fact Dr. Arthur
L. Murray. secretary of the committee.
attributed it to the antif1s- campaigns of
last season and the year before and the
sanitary crusades waged during those
years.
Fewer flies were left last autumn to
hibernate during the winter and there
was less filth this spring to serve as
breeding places for them. he said. Now.
that tons of rubbish are being hauled out
of the city and sanitary conditions in
every section being improved, the fly
will find it harder than ever to exist and
he should be less of a menace to the
health of the city this summer than ever
before, he predicted.
DR.. Murray last night addressed the
Mems Club of Emmanuel Episcopal
Church on the importance of civic sani-
tation. 1t is his belief that a reform of
habits which will assure a greater re-
spect on the part OF people for sanitary
regulations is one of the crying needs of
municipalities. He said:

URGE
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY IN PERU


American Methodists have been in
touch with the Peruvian government in
an endeavor to secure complete re-
ligious liberty for the people of that
republic. 1t is said to be practically the
last Of all South American republics to
deny such liberty. Reports indicate
success, so MethOdists leaders here say.
L it be granted there is proposed
larger Protestant work there although
so great degree of unity now prevails
that MethOdists will wait before going
into Peru to see what others may de-
sire to do there. Presbyterians in this
country have long maintained small
missions in Lima and Callao in spite
of government restrictions, and without
proclaiming themselves openly as
churches.
Methodists are establishing in Buenos
Aires a printing plant, a college and six
churches, explaining in doing so that
two in three of their Argentine church
es. are self supporting. Almost the
same ratio of self help obtains in Meth
Odist churches in Chile There is said
to be a district in South Chile, now be-
ing developed by Chileans, that is as
sessing what is claimed to be better
soil and climate. Into this field Ameri-
can Methodists are going to establish
churches. In La Paz, Bolivia, a boys
school under Methodist charge receives
81. 600 a year from the government. It
is now to be enlarged. So also is a WOm-
ems college in Santiago. Chile.

MAIL
BREAKS RECORDS
Terminal and Postoffice
Show 20 Percent Increase
in Mail Matter.

Local mails, both letters and parcels
post, showed a large increase this
Christmas over the Christmas Of 1913.
An increase Of 20 percent is indicated
by the increased number of stamps
sold.
Parcels post business out Of. and
into, FL Paso was handled on a diff
ferent basis from last year and, for
this reason, the amount of matter han
died does not total as high as last
year. Had the same system been used,
however, the business this year would
have greatly exceeded that of 1913.
This year the packages that were no
larger than an ordinary shoe box were
sent by regular mail. thus removing
hundreds Of packages from the parcels
post accounts
No delay of any kind was expert
enCed in the handling of parcels at the
union station terminal this year. The
system lnaugurated by the pOstotftce
department has been, brought to per-
lection by John Z. Fincher, clerk in
charge OF the terminal, and the large
amount Of business was dispatched on
time during the Christmas rush The
public materially assisted in this be-
cause Of q better acquaintance with
the parcels post system. which resulted
in plain addresses correct weights and
proper packing.
Splendid Terminal Service.
The local terminal serves southern
Arizona, New Mexico and western
Texas. Parcels destined for points in
this territory are made up into direct
shipments and sent to FL Paso. where
they were redistributed. The terminal
was established Dec. II, 1913, and has
had years experience in the handling
of Christmas mail Another feature
that resulted in rapid handling, was
the use of full sized mail cars direct
from Chicago to El PasO for the first
time this year.
Owing to the bad weather, which
caused delays on a number Of trains,
there is still a large amount Of letters
and small packages at the postoffice,
the mail due to arrive Thursday hav-
ing arrived on Friday. This is being
distributed as rapidly a s possible. All
Of the branch postoffices have been
closed but large amounts of mail are
still being distributed at the South
western building parcels postoffice.
All Christmas parcels which arrived
Saturday on the delayed trains viii be
