Two Noted Sportsmen Honored by Bri'
tain,

London, Aug. 20. - Military honors
have come to two sportsmen famous in
America-one an American of a distin-
guished st. Louis family, Lieutenant
Oliver Dwight Filley Of the Royal Fly
ing corps; the other Captain H.. A.
Tomkinson of the Royal dragons,
member Of the British polo team that
wrested the international cup from
America in 1914.
Lieutenant Filley has received the
military cross for conspicuous gallan-
try, and Captain Tomkinson has re-
ceived promotion to the rank of major.
Filley is famous in American col
lege sports as an oarsman. He was
the stroke and captain of the Harvard
crew Of 1906, which won over Yale,
and he afterward took the crew to
England to race Cambridge and Ok
ford on the Thames.
The gallantry by which the young
American has won the military cross
occurred OF July g, while he was TAX
ing observations for the British artil-
lery. The official report tells how
Lieutenant Filley, with an observer,
was aloft in an aeroplane not especial
ly constructed for fighting; that he re-
pulsed two attacks by German aero
planes, continued his observations and
retired only after two German aero
planes charged him at once, his OBJ
server had been killed at his side, the
engine of the aeroplane crippled and
Lieutenant Filley had exhausted his
last round of ammunition In battling
with the enemy.
There is no official statement Of the
reason for Major Tomkinson's promo
ton, ave the inference of general ef-
fciency. On his trips to America to
appear In the international polo matches
the tall, modest hammered Englishman
achieved great social honors and was a
favorite with the crowds because of his
fine riding and playing.

To Succeed With Alfalfa.

Almost every farmer is interested In
growing alfalfa. Some have tried 1t
and failed. Many have succeeded and
are reaping the benefits Of this Won
derful crop for live stock farms. AS a
hay crop 1t excels all others In yields,
feeding value. drought resistance ana
soil enrichment Yet it is not advisa-
BILE to attempt to grow alfalfa under
all circumstances. 1t is a rather par
ticular crop, requiring certain soil con-
ditions and proper treatment. The be-
ginner in alfalfa growing must first Of
all be a student of alfalfa. He must
study the crop and learn its require
ments. If he is not willing to pay at
tention to such important details as
incubation. lining, proper seeding
methods and cutting at the proper
stage he had better not try to grow
alfalfa.

Lawson's attorneys will appeal. The
Chicago Federation Of Labor has start
ed a movement to aid the labor leader
and recently wired President Wilson to
investigate the trial. 1t Is believed that
organized labor will rally to the de-
Tense of the convicted man.
John Nimmo was killed In a battle
between deputies and striking coal
miners. Lawson was one Of the lead
ers Of the strike and had charge Of the
tent colony in which the strikers were
established. Before the state militia
arrived on the scene at Ludlow several
clashes had taken place between the
strikers and deputy sheriffs. On the
afternoon Of Oct. %, 1913, a fight
started between these deputies and a
body Of strikers. Firing ragged until
evening. Some time during the battle
Nimmo was shot In the leg and bled to
death. Lawson was charged with the
homicide On the theory Of the prosecu-
ton that he was in charge Of the tent
colony and in charge Of the strikers

Sunlight In Barns.

In the construction of barns or shell
ters for any kind Of animals, says H.
Preston Hoskins of the Minnesota col
lege of agriculture, ample provision
should be made for the admission of
the maximum amount of sunlight. A
southern exposure is desirable-that is,
an arrangement by which most Of the
windows face south. The warmth
thus provided in cold weather is de-
sIrable, and much Of the heat Of sum-
mer can be avoided by the use of cur
tains or Greens. Sunlight destroys
most disease germs.

AROUND THE DAIRY.

The machinery Of a COW, by
means of which she produces
milk, is as delicate as that of a
watch. and yet we often act as
though the contrary were true.
1t is necessary TO the perfect
thrift of q calf that 1t has a
chance to drink pure fresh wa
ter every day.
A COW that makes less than
200 pounds of butter a year Is
not worth bothering with. You
don't have to have that kind,
either.
Any Irregularities in the milk
ing or management of the cows
will tend to lessen the milk flow
and cut the profits.

your herd by breeding only to a
high class butter sire.

Chicago. New $4,000 o Mu.usum,

Chicago, Aug. DEMONSTRATION work
on the new 100000 Field Museum Of
Natural History, which is to be built
on Chicago's lake front, just south of
Twelfth street, is row under way after
twelve years OF planning and negotia-
ton.
The structure will be completed In
less than three years. according to
plans. More than 1900 men will be
employed In the work. When finished
1t will be the largest marble building
In the world and one of the largest mu-
seums. 1t will consist Of three stories
and a basement and will cover an area
Of 700 by $50 feet, or approximately
four downtown city blocks.
The fioor area of the museum will be
$4,000 square feet, OF which 100000
square feet will be devoted to exhibit
ton purposes. The remainder will be
used for scientific laboratories, lecture
halls, offices and a restaurant.
The late Marshall Field gave a total
Of $9,!5 900 for the building and en-
dowment fund of the museum.

A pretentious city was planned and
lots were sold by the government on

ginning impliedly undertaken to meet

Tomorrow night the Cham
Der of Commerce is to act upon
the report of the special suffrage
committee, which favors a consti-
tutional amendment giving to the
District the status OF state so
far as representation in Congress
and the electoral college is con-
cerned.
Wise and just legislation con-
cerning the government of the
District of Columbia must be
based upon recognition of two
vital facts: (1) The Districts in
ability to sustain unaided the bur
den OF National Capital mainte-
nance and hpbuilding; (2) the
Districts fitness as an American
community to exercise the repre-
sentative American privileges OF
a state.
(I) Taxable resources of the
District of Columbia are not suffi-
cient to raise the revenue neces-
sary for the suitable maintenance
and natural development Of the
nations city, the capital of the
United States. With reasonable
taxation on the same bases that
prevail in other American cities
the local tax resources can at this
time provide only about one-half
of the fund necessary for wise an
nual expenditure in National
capital maintenance and develop
-nent.
(2) The District Of Columbia
has population whose numbers.
intelligence and patriotic public
spirit entltle it to statehood. 1t
has also adequate material re-
sources to sustain statehood ii
these resources are wisely fos-
tered and developed by its legisla
ture. 1t exceeds in intelligent,
progressive population six of the
present states of the Union and
promises in the future to exceed
population, permanently, at
least five existing states. Its peo-
pie are loyal Americans, paying
national taxes and fighting the
nations battles as soldiers in time
of war.
If the nation denies or ignores the
first of these vital facts and repudi-
ates its National Capital financial obli-
cation, except In direct relation to pub
lie buildings and grounds, it must in
equity surrender all exclusive legis-
lative power in respect to the District
OF Columbia. 1t must set up here
sovereign state of Columbia by con-
stitutional amendment. repeating the
ten miles square provision: or it must
retrocede to Maryland the portion of

ernment. This action dissolving the

trict to the area occupied by public
buildings or used as public grounds or
