DISTRICT DELEGATE
Report to Senate on Poindex-
ter Bill Ordered, With Pres
identiaI Primary Omitted.

The Poindexter District delegate bill,
minus the provisions for presidential
preferential primary. was ordered IA
Senate District committee today. The
bill will be reported by Senator Pom
creme of Ohio, who will write a report
to be submitted with the bill.
The bill provides for the election of
one delegate to the House by the citi-
zens of the District of Columbia and
establishes system of election. The
delegate is to have a voice in the House
but no vote. His term is to be the same
length as that of members of the
House. All persons in the District,
bona fide residents for the previous
year. are entitled to vote for delegate.
Salary Fixed at $500.
The delegate is to receive the same
salary as members of Congress, $500.
He must be twenty-five years old or
over, a citizen of the United States and
a qualified voter of the District to be
eligible for election.
Senator Pomerene said, following the
meeting of the District committee, that
the Chamberlain resolution enfranchis-
ing the citizens of the District was not
reported by the subcommittee on
judiciary to the full committee, and
therefore was not taken up.
Interest Bill to Have Hearing.
Senator John Walter Smith, chairman
of the District committee announced
that a hearing on the bill increasing
the rate of interest which may be
charged by money lenders and pawn
brokers in the District from per cent
to 2 per cent a month would be given
next Friday.
The committee. he said, would notify
those witnesses which it desired to
hear. and the hearing will not
be thrown open to the general public
so far as giving testimony is concern
ed. The bill was introduced by Sena-
tor Smith. He said today he believed 1t
should be enacted into law. since it had
been found that the money lenders
would not do business here on a 1 per
cent interest basis. but that they had
gone across the river and were charg-
ing per cent or more interest. Many
representative citizens Of the District,
he said, had strongly favored the meas
ure.

vision, large sympathy toward all the

second marked characteristic Is the
desire to make things with his hands.
Such materials and tools as he uses
should still be chiefly those requiring
work of the large muscles, and little de-
mand upon the fingers, the eyes and the
nerves. So a hammer and saw, and
coping saw are better for him than
needle; wood and cardboard are better
than fine straws, sticks and papers. Car
pentry, coping saw work, the making of
play houses out of wooden boxes, the
making of wooden furniture for the
dolls, the weaving Of little rugs with
inch-wide cloth strips, have just as much
enjoyment as trying to work with tooth
picks, peas, paper strips, and they make
none of the strain upon undeveloped
muscles and nerves. Painting, which is

Much of the picture painting should
be without drawn figure. Such figures
as are used should be with simple. firm
outlines, such as those In the Hiawatha

sized crayon and drawing pencils should
also be used, and these put away when
ever the child shows by his tight hold
upon them that he is getting tense. 4

be so strong. This means daily re-
sponsibility in his welding Of the tooth
brush, a semi-yearly examination by the
dentist, and plenty OF hard crusts which
require work of the Jaws.
II the child frowns when looking at
picture, holds his work near his face, or
complains of headaches, his eyes should
be examined by a competent ocu-
and the use of the eyes in reading and
writing postponed until the oculist says
they are ready. The child who has the
handwork that utilities the large muscles,
and that requires standing rather then
sitting, Is less liable to develop a curva-
ture up to this time; especially If he
also has swinging rings or a trapeze
among his playtime apparatus.
The child who is kept out of doors and
active will develop good chest and vital
capacity without any further need for
attention. 1t is the part of wisdom,
however, to have thorough physical ex-
animation at the beginning OF this year,
by a physical director or physician COM

assured that the child is developing in
the way he should go.

up in family without servants.
Thrift is a fundamental virtue that
should begin at this time, II not earlier.
About the greatest temptation the child
at this age has is to spend his pennies as
soon as he gets them for temporary and
self-indulgent things-chewing gum and
lollypops, jimcracks and moving picture
shows. Not to mention the injury to his
physical health from such indulgence In
sweets, or the flicker of light, the poor
ventilation, the excitement and the pre-
cocious mental consequences of such ex-
penditures. there are the more funda-
mental consequences of lack OF foresight
and planning, the yielding to self-indul-
gence, the spendthrift habit.
The child in the country, of course, has
fewer temptations, yet he may be just as

There is a negative way of controlling
the pennies, either by not giving them or
by not permitting the child to spend them
in these ways. Neither of these, however,

/" HIS Is the year when that meta
morphosis occurs which gradually
= changes the babyish little ones
into little men and women. They are
becoming every day less dependent, their
pronunciation and use of the language Is
almost correct; they are more self-reli-
ant in thought, with a growing sense OF
Individuality more mind of their own;
they are able to run, dance. skip, hop
all complex accomplishments; many chill
dren can carry a tune; they are eager to
do things like grown-up people.
One of the most marked characteristics
of this year is the dramatic play. A large
part of the child's time is spent in play
ing he is someone else-the fireman,
sailor, the grocery boy, Hiawatha and
thousand other characters. He Is likely
to play he is any person that he has
known about, either through seeing OF
hearing about them. Therein lies great
responsibility and opportunity for his
parents.
BY providing examples of worthy char
acters in the stories they tell him or the
persons whom they bring about him, or
the neighborhood in which they decide
TO live, they are selecting the characters
he will initiate and try to become like.
What shall be done when the child
chooses an unworthy character, as, for
instance, a drunken man? One way is
to command him to stop and scold him
for doing something wrong, as though he
knew the degradation of such a char
acter.
Another way is to ignore this and let
him play it, thereby letting him carry
the impression that drunkenness is one
OF the natural and necessary experiences.
An educational way is to start more
fascinating play so that he drops this,
without comment for the time, and then,
on some early occasion. to tell story OF
the misfortunes in the drunkard's family,
SO that ne will of himself draw the con.
clusion that drunkenness is an evil and
disgrace and that the drunken man ID
some one to be pitied not laughed at.
He will find it great fun to play Els
kimo," Indian" Greek" and score OF
other nationalities. There are so many
good books now published giving accur-
ate and concrete accounts Of the ways Of
living in every country and age, that any
parents who will devote themselves to
this need have no difficulty in finding at
the public libraries all they can possibly
utilize, and much more. for such initiative

A Mysterious Eagle.

Conflicting stories are told con-
corning a very large stonework
eagle which is situated on the broad
top of a stony rain quilted hill In
middle Georgia. The one point that
seems to be certain Is that the
Indians left the eagle as a legacy to
the State. A hundred years from
now 1t will probably be found lying
on it's back, with outspread wings
and tail even as 1t lies to-day. For
1t is made of quartz rocks so cum
ningly placed that 1t would require
a pick In a strong mans hands to
displace any one of them. The rocks
lap and overlap in such a manner
as to represent feathers. No cement
holds them in position, and the
stones vary In size. weighing from
half q pound to three or four
pounds. The image rests on very
firm foundation. for the stonework
extends several feet into the
ground.
Once. perhaps twice. treasure

of the eagle: but the work must
have proved too laborious. for the
diggers gave up before they had

Rough and fairly accurate meas
urements of the bird show tho
length of the eagle from the middle
of the tall to the head to be one

tip to tip of outspread wings one

length of the beak is ten feet, and
the height of the body at the centre
of the breast is ten feet. The eagle
lies with its head to the west.

1t is SO much easier to be waited upon
than to do things for ones self, and we
all dream of fairyland where personal
responsibility for the drudgery of every
day living no longer takes our time and
energy from the FUN" we would like to
have. But life on this earth IL not with
out these responsibilities, and 80 the
five-year-old must begin to learn to take
his share.
There should be some definite respon-
sibilities for every day. OF course he
should now be dressing himself, taking
care of his own clothes as they are taken
off, keeping his own toys in order, brush
ing up crumbs he spills on the floor. He
should also have some other RESPONSE
bilities in preparing his food. clearing up
after meals. helping sometimes in little
ways with the laundering of his clothes.
This is necessary that he may appreciate
what others are doing for him.
There also should be some RESPONSE
bilities for others, as we'll as for his own
care. He can help bring In the wood,
water the flowers, dust the dining-room,
bring the milk, or do other little errands,
at least for an hour at intervals during
the day. Thus he will come to appreciate
that he is a part of society, that each
member OF society must expect to take
some share in working for others.

beware of teaching mere words.
Most children do not care much for
group games until near the end of this
year. They like to play at throwing the
ball, at jumping, running, at sense games.
They have not enough self-control to play
we'll at hiding or finding. Here are some
suggestions of sense games. Put six OBJ
jects on a tray and while the child hides
take one away; let him open his eyes
and tell which one Is missing.
Let him be blindfolded when there
are several persons in the room, and one
of these calls his name; he is to guess
by the voice which one called. Have
several common objects which he has
seen; blindfold his eyes and let him
tell by feeling with his hands which OBJ
ject is given him. Strike a note on the
piano and let him see II he can echo It;
that Is, sing the same note. II there are
several children, let them see who can
remember the most things they have
