MANY CANDIDATES OUT
FOR BIDDLE'S POSITION
Contest Over Office Of Commander Of
Marine Corps Promises to
Be w, !.
WALLER AND COLE MENTIONED

Deep interest is taken among army
and navy men in Washington in the con-
test for the office of commander of the
United States Marine Corps.
Mai. Gen. Biddle now holds the Office
The position gives command over a large
organization OF the best-trained and
equipped men in the entire United States
military service. He is accountable only
to the Secretary of the Navy, and to the
President of the United States. and, of
course, indirectly to Congress His social
rank is high in Washington, also. as the
Marine Corps is by several years a more
ancient organization than the United
States navy.
There are many contestants for the
place at present A vacancy theoretically
exists because the time has come for
the retirement of Gen. Biddle. He still
is serving, however, pending the ap-
pointment of his successor.
The principal candidates are Col. Bar
nett, Col. Waller, Col. Lajune, Col Moses.
and Col Cole. Col. Waller enjoyed the
latest boom and the word went around
that it was practically certain he would
land the job. Col. Cole has also had a
boom recently. He is known as the can
didate of the Marine Corps itself.
A new law proposes to limit the term
of office of the commandant of the Ma
rine Corps to four years. Heretofore
have served until the time
for their retirement. The Office pays a
salary Of 5000 a year.

Figure A. There Should no Uncertainty the Preliminary Pose

lin a sort of panicky fear that until the
waltz has commenced uncertainty must
exist.
In figure B the photograph shows the
correct position to be assumed in start
ing the waltz. Here, as Is evident. the
pose is easy and natural, with no bodily
construction Of any sort. The man Is not
holding his lady needlessly close. and
his left arm. with his partners right Is
not extended so far out from the bodies
as to be an obstacle to other dancers.
Many so-called splendid dancers
carry their arms beyond the point where
grace can be maintained, and most Of
these individuals show no consideration
for dance form by clutching one another's 5
hands as IL they were the last objects
they expected to hold on this earth. Not
infrequently do We see such persons en-
folded in embraces that are tabooed in
proper homes and upon proper bathrooms,

a bearlike hug with his right arm and
being weighed down by a feminine clasp

SENTIMENT IS WANING

Eight-hour legislation for the working
women Of the District of Columbia, de-
layed by a trick or an accident on the
night of March . last. is to be enacted
early In this session o. Congress. The
Peters-La Toilette bill, already passed
by the Senate. has been reported favor
ably by the House Labor Committee, and
will be called up for a vote some time
next month Its opponents are less de-
termined. and far less IN. number, sppar-
entity, than those of a year ago.
Reasons for this waning In favor Of a
social justice measure are seen by the
women themselves In the fact OF the
growing belief that equal suffrage Is soon
to prevail. Women voters are on record
In equal suffrage States as demanding
eight-hour laws for their sisters. with
laws abolishing the employment of chill

Woody Tiger, 1t Is Believed,
VIII Hold Its Popularity
Mrs. Wade Hampton, Who Is Responsible for Latest
administration Toy Tells How Idea Came to
Her Unexpectedly and Just Like Inspiration

Administrations may come and admin
strations may &C. but the latest lad
ministration toy" the Woody Tiger, will
go on forever.
At least, that is the hope and belief Of
Mrs. Wade Hampton
Itis hardly necessary to say, Of course,
that the first administration toy that
came to gladden. the hearts of kids
made its appearance during the admin
Istratior of President Roosevelt, and the
delightfully."- inane countenance of the
Teddy Bear became almost as well
known the world over as did the coun-
tenance of the strenuous President.
Then, in due course of years, President
Taft took his place in the big chair in
the White House, and Billy Possum
usurped the high estate of Teddy Bear.
He was a good-natured genial toy and
won instant favor at the hands of the
juvenile populace. His rotund person
was seen on the front of almost as
many automobiles. and he was mothered
by almost as many full-grown women,
as was Terry Bear.
Thinks 1t VIII Inst.
But Mrs. Hampton, who, for some
years, has made her home in Washing
ton. says that the fame of Woody Tiger
will outlast that of his famous predeces-
sors, and she surely should be able to
speak of his characteristics and make
forecasts Of his future
For Mrs Hampton is responsible for
him. She first conceived Of such a char
acter as Woody Tiger. She told the
officials of the Patent Office about him,
and now she holds the exclusive right
Of seeing that the American "kiddie" is
supplied with Woody Tiger. Her right Is
vested in patent.
Woody Tiger is much like all other
members of the genus tiger. except that
his disposition Is more gentle, and his
appetite does not run along the same
lines as his brothers and sisters He
has the same black and orange coat and
the same black and white jaws as the
ordinary tiger that io caught roaming

Fight For Living Wage.
After the eight-hour law will come a
new agitation to secure a living wage
Senator Kenyon has introduced q resolu-
tion providing for an investigation into
the cost Of living in Washington. Testi-
mony before the District Committee Of
the Senate has shown the average wage
for women in stores and laundries here
to be $685..
The trade union influence, SO far
as expressed by the oficers of the
American Federation Of Labor, Ii op-
posed to minimum wage legislation.
The unions argue that the only mini
mum wage scale worth getting Is the
one secured and defended by labor or
ganizations. Members Of the House
Labor Committee who are identified
with the labor movement probably will
take that position. Yet the sentiment
for enactment of a law liking q fair
living wage as the minimum Of pay
ment in the National Capital Is so
strong that they probably win be un-
able to check 1t.
Beside these model" bills for regula-
ton of hours and wager in the District,
the bill providing for the creation Of
national bureau of safety under the De-
partment OF Labor gets little attention

been fercely contested before the COM

The President will sign 1t In double

The Peters-La Toilette bill was origin
ally drafted by the heads Of the National
Consumers League. and has been pro-
NOTED by that organization and by men,
bers of the National women's Trade
Union League, although none of the
women to be affected by 1t are unionized.
Mrs. Florence Kelly and Miss Josephine
Goldmark, of New York, and Miss Con-
stance d. Leupp. of Washington, have
conducted the lobby" At intervals they
Of bothes Houses of Congress is now said
to be convinced.
The provisions in this bill which would
make it more readily enforceable than
similar laws in various States have been
stricken out in committee. In its present
form 1t closely resembles the California
law, without applying to SO many classes
of service as does the latter. A Senate
amendment requiring that the amount OF
the daily wage of each female employed
be posted in a conspicuous place in the
shop, with the number of hours worked
BY her each day, will probably be eIimi-
mated in conference. The House Labor
Committee members think this ADVERTISE
ment of wages and hours Unnecessary
Representative Nolan, Of San Fran
cisco, who lobbied through the California
legislature, for the trade union forces,
the woman's eight-hour law of that
State, introduced this year an improved
measure on that subject which was
drafted by the legislative bureau of the
Progressive party. His bill covers more
trades and Is stricter in its terms of
enforcement. He has decided, however,
to support the Peters-La Toilette bill as
the quickest way to meet immediate
needs. Later he VIII try to secure its

Damage Ii Problematical.
The amount OF damage which could

1t would be almost impossible to hit a
target below.
On the other hand. the dirigible, on

The Germans have attempted to meet
this eventua,ity in their later ships by
building a Ilatform on top of the bag,
reached by vertical ladder running Up
through the body of the ship in well

Could Overcome Disadvantage.
An aeroplane operator could have over
come this disadvantage by using his
greater speed to keep at a safe distance
from his opponent while rising. and by
watching for this opportunity would
sooner or later. by a sudden, swerve and
burst of speed, obtain a point of van
tage. Furthermore. II Is far from likely
that he would be conducting his battle
singie-haided. for even the most expen-
sive aeroplanes cost only about one
twentieth as much as an airship.
The aeroplanes, avions as they are
known officially in the French army, are
divided into two classes, monoplanes and
biplanes. which bear somewhat the same
relations to each other as do the rigid,
and the nonrigid dirigibles. The biplanes
are the more stable and easily managed.
though. of course, heavier and more
sluggish in flight. while the monoplanes
