Washington, July S.-Senator Ken
yon, Of Iowa, was successful in his et-
forts to have the senate strike from
the agricultural appropriation bill the
item providing for the free distribu-
ton by members Of congress Of garden
seeds. BY vote Of SO to II the senate
agreed to the senate committee amend
ment, fathered by Senator Kenyon,
striking out this provision. This dis
>trihution of seeds free to their con-
stituents Is custom of many years
have always tenaciously fought to re-
tain it in the past and it Is expected
they will do so now.
In a speech in the senate, Mr.. Ken
yon characterized this free distribution
OF seeds as congressional graft and
pointed out that it had cost the gov
eminent, for the seeds alone, during
the past four years, $1.11O,9S3. Add the
cost Of carrying these seeds thru the
mails, for they are sent under the frank
OF the congressman, and the time of the
employees of the government, and the
sum would be greatly increased. said
Senator Kenyon. He told the senate
that the department of agriculture had
recommended that the practice be
ended.
"One member OF the house received
a letter from constituent in regard
to free seeds which is rather typical
of the way III which these free seeds

said Senator Kenyon. This man wrote

had made soup OF the last lot Of seeds
and that it was fine
Senator Kenyon said that during
four years, nd less than 4S,o6S,SOl
packages Of seeds had been sent out by
congress. He said that members Of
congress seemed to think that it made
a hit with the farmers wives, making
them believe that their Representatives
in Washington were lying awake
nights thinking how they could aid
their constituents" AS matter OF
fact, he said. many of the farmers
turnout the country were Disguised
with this petty graft and believed that
no further money should be wasted by
the Cover nment in this way.
There is no more reason today"
said Senator Kenyon, for members Of
congress distributing free garden seeds
than there is for them sending out free
clothes pins, safety I!pins, or collie

the United States so far as physical
training is concerned? If a city
gives to the boys and girls in the
elementary schools 10 to IS minutes
a day for physical training (much
of which is done in a schoolroom
between school benches) it believes
it has its duty so for as gymnastics
is concerned. In the high schools
the conditions are a little better,
although most childrens never get
to the high schools.
1T also must not be forgotten
that millions of the children in the
elementary schools of the United
States get no systematic physical
training at all. Compared with the
hour of gymnastics in the scho |
curriculum of some cities, one finds
that in the countries of Europe
gymnastics is given much more
time and attention. First of all,
