the physical director OF West Point

sarily long one. but one In which
you march briskly like soldier. with
your head and chest up and your Shout

know why so many men are narrow
chested and weak? 1t is because they
never have given themselves chance
to breathe and never have given their
muscles enough exercise.
MANY people. men. women and chill

lives because of the lack of few min

they have never been tuught proper

Traction Concern Pays That Sum for
Deaths of Children of Canal
Boat Captain.

Justice Hitz, presiding in the Probate
Division of the Supreme Court of the
District. today signed DEGREES authoriz-
ing Samuel D. Spong as administrator
of the estates OF his three children,
Samuel w. Spong. John w. Spong and
Sarah A Spong, to make settlements
with the Capital Traction Company of
the claims on account of the death of
the children in the amount of $1,000 in
each OF the first two cases and $1,000 in
the last named case.
The claims arose out of an accident
which occurred September II. 1916. on
the canal at the foot of Wisconsin ave-
nue.. Samuel D. Spong, the father of
the deceased children, was in charge of
a canal boat, which was loaded with
coal for the Capital Traction Company,
and on the morning of the accident the
boat was moored at a point just to the
rear of the power plant of the COM
pany. The children named, as well as
Nina L. Spong, wife of Samuel D.
Spong, were on board the canal boat
and at the time of the accident the
children were asleep in the cabin of the
boat,
Between the canal boat and the re-
tanning wall at the north bank OF the
Potomac river ct this point the Capital
Traction Company had in place an ex-
haust pie, and it is claimed this pipe
loosened and gave way SO that the hot
water and stearl passing through 1T.
which should have been diverted be-
low the surface of the river. was blown
into the cabin and the three children
named were SO badly injured that they
died the same day.
Upon his petition. Samuel D. Spong,
the father of the children, was ap-
pointed administrator of their estates.
and by the DEGREES of the court he is
to make the settlements.
The mother of the children. Mrs Nina
l.. Spong, was injured, and it is stated
that her claim against the company
also has been compromised. the COM
pany paying her $1,000, making the
total amount paid on account of the
accident, $4,000. The claimants were
represented by Attorney Mark Stear-
man.

time and communication than were the
states of this Union a century ago. No

affects in some degree the people of
some other nation. The war in Europe
has been felt in every home in this land.
