Rank bunk" was the terse cornmen:
of CONGRESSMAN Mann, Republican floor
leader OF the House. II wish more OF
the fellows up here would break loose ir

IT did the tango only once in my
life p!aintivelv complained Victor
Murdock, and it caused so much cx-
citement I quit
''I do not dance, and l DO not know
anyone in the Senate who Is addicted to
the new Dances" is Senator Suther-
lands testimony. But l should like
TO See Senator Lodge in the act of
committing the hesitation" he added.
II am the only man in the Senate
who can dance the tango CORRECTLY" as
serted that eminent social light, Miles
PoindeXter: but l do not do il much.
Everywhere up on Capitol Hill in
dignation was expressed that Senator
Kenyon should have suggested such a
thing. That Congressman are too busy
for suca frivolitles, was the unanimous
verdict OF all the legislators who could
be persuaded to comment on the matter.
Tango Talents Hidden.
Their tango accomplishments seem to
be the one thing legislators are not a
bit anxious to have advertised. Not
even those whose execution of the max
Ike. hesitation. ct al. has been the
envy of younger social aspirants, were
willing to advertise their skill.
The popular social chronicler, Jean
Eliot, is willing to make affidavit that
she has seen at least five members of
Congress do the new dances Just splen-
didly.' Among those indicted were
Senators Morris Sheppard and Hoke
Smith, and Congresren Murdoch, Nc
Kellar. and Campbell.
The modest Mr.. Murdock earnestly
disclaimed any special tango profici-
ency. Half alphabetically he exp aimed
that he was induced" TO dance some of
the new steps ~ congressman Camp
bells daughters party"
That caused so much excitement. I
gave up the sport he continued. Pub
lie men have to choose whether they
shall be social lunineres or working
men. Everybody up here on Capitol
Hiu these days seems to have taken
the latter alternative.
Too Busy For Gayety.
We are too busy for social geyetfes.

F YOU NEED A medicine,

Although there are hundreds of pre-
parations advertised. there is only one
that really stands out pre-eminent as
a remedy for diseases of the kidneys,
liver and bladder.
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root stands
the highest. for the reason that so
many people say it has proved to be
just the remedy needed in thousands
upon thousands of even the most dis
tressing cases.
Swamp-Root makes friends quickly
because its mild and immediate effect
is soon realized in most cases. 1t is

CHEVY CHASE LEADS
IN BIRD POPULATION
Census Shows More Per Acre
There Than in Any Part of
the United States.

Partial returns from the census of
birds which, for the first time in its
history. the United States Government
is now Undertaking, indicate that there
are wide variations in the bird popula-
ton in different parts OF the country.
The most numerous bird life so far
reported is in Chevy Chase. Md. An
average was found there of about seven
pairs per acre. Only a few places re-
port as high a population az four pairs
per acre. while it seems probable from
the data so far received that the aver
age for the whole United States east
of the plains will be not far from LOCO
pairs to the square mile. after omittins
land in corn and potatoes, where there
is small chance for any bird to nest,
and after omitting also the land COW
cred entirely by forests.
Apparently the most numerous bird
in the United States east Of the Missis-
sippi river. is the robin. with an average
of about fifty pairs to the square mile
or about 100. 900 robins in the eastern
United States.
