Fashions and Health.
From the Chicago Tribune.

Five out OF every six women students
at the University of California, II is an
nounced by the women's department of
physical education at that institution
were upon examination found to be at
fiicted with fiat feet or broken arches.
High heels are assigned as the cause.
Last year, it is stated. there was IAN cpl
demic of deranged internal organs"
caused by tight lacing-
Curvature of the spine is common
among the girl students of the institu-
ton. Crooked necks, crooked spines,
round shoulders and fiat chests show q
decided increase. The blame for this
ruin of womens figures is thrown upon
Dame Fashion, which, 1t Is alleged, en-
courages the ''slouchy pose as the acme
of attraction in carriage.
When a certain class of reformers de-
cry the fashions of the day as detrimen-
tai TO good morals they are not always
able to prove their case. The charge
however. that extremes in fashion are
undermining the health of women is in
this instance based not upon sentiment
but upon scientific measurements taken
by a specialist in physical training. 1t
would seem as If this ought to encourage
at least a modicum of common sense in
fashions -

Congress on the subject.
Shows Valuation.
at also includes a statement taken
from census bulletin LIB. 1913. on the
financial statistics of 1875 cities Of the
United States having over thirty thou
sand population, showing that tho total
assessed valuation Of property in Wash
ington in 1912 was 1850 per capita and
this was more than the similar per cap
ita in 155 out OF 1876 cities having over
thirty thousand population. and that only
thirty-nine cities had a higher similar
per capita.
More important, however. fs the per
capita of the tax levy, the combination
of the assessment and the rate m
dicating the amount of taxes paid. For
Washington. the per capita tax levy
for 1912 is given at S15.75. This Is
shown to be more than the per capita
tax levy in 149 out of 1875 cities. Only
forty five cities have a higher per
capita tax levy than Washington.
Appeals to Patriots.
"The committee appeals to patriotic
Americans everywhere to write TO
their senators and representatives In
the interests OF the common capital
and the maintenance Of the govern
ment's contribution to 1t. as against
the pending measures which propose
to cut Off that contribution and place
the whole burden Of the capital upon

of Columbia. of whom 100000 are
negroes. the largest negro urban popu-
lation in the world, and 10000 are en-
ployed in the civil service Of the gov
eminent. with no large industries or
commerce. This would mean. the COM
mittee of one hundred states. confisca-
ton in taxation and cutting the prog
ress of the capital in two"
Another set of resolutions adopted by
the organization reiterated adherence to
the Constitution Of the United States, and
belief in its responsibility for the present
prosperity and conditions Of liberty in the
United States. Delegates to the general
assembly Of the order were directed to
urge the national society to go on record
in similar manner.

Makes Others Available.


The object Of this bill is to make
available as officers Of the District Ma
tional Guard a large number OF young
men in Washington who have had suit
able military experience and who are
qualified to hold commissions in the
guard. Many OF these men are Spanish
war veterans, some Of them having held
commissions or served as non-commis-
stoned officers in volunteer, or regular
regiments In Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines. These men would be glad
to service in-the District Guard as OFF,
GERS, but will not enlist as privates. as
required by the present law, section 16,
In order to obtain commissions.
1t Is believed that a large number OF
these Spanish war veterans, II the bill
becomes law, will connect themselves with
the District Guard. such men, having
had actual wartime experience. would act
as a valuable stifrening force to the
guard and the officers corps
Privates Still Have First Chance.
The bill. however. does not give the
preference in appointments to second lieu
tenancies to these veterans, but their serv-
ices would only be available in event
there is not at any time sufficient ma
terial among the enlisted men Of the
guard for promotion to lieutenancies.
Therefore, privates now in the guard
who aspire to commissions would still
have first chance to become officers.
THE bill has the Endorsement Of Span

BASE BALL LEAGUES
IN LEGAL CONFLICT
Federals Contest for Possession of
Catcher Claimed by Philadelphia
Nationals.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. April A.
Decks were cleared in United States dis
trict court here today for the first real
legal battle between organized base ball
and the Federal League. william l..
killifer. the catcher who began his
base ball career with Michigan teams
and worked his way to the majors. was
the storm center The question for the
court to decide was whether Killifer is
the property of the Chicago team of the
Federal League or belongs to the Phiia-
delphia Nationals. Last season Killifer
was with Philadelphia.
Killifer Jumps Out and Back.
In the past winter he signed a Fed
eral League contract; then he renowned
the Independent organization and signed
a new contract with the Philadelphia
club. As a result the Federal League
started injunction proceedings in United
States district court here to restrain Kill
lifer from playing with Philadelphia. The
petition also asks that killifer be de-
clared the property OF the Chicago Fed
erals.
