oNE.LEGGED MEN TO MEET
Association Of Artificial limbsd
Men Contemplated.

The National Capital will resound
with the thump-thump-thump or
wooden legs on asphalt pavements
next June. According to plans under
consideration now, fifty one-legged
men will arrive In Washington some
time during that month and settle
down to q three-day convention, the
purpose of which will be to organize
themselves into a One-Legged Mems
Association.
One OF the largest establishments
devoted to the manufacture and sale
Of artificial limbs in the United
States employs for its salesmen only
one-legged men. These men, IL Is
stated, are walking demonstrations
of the efficiency OF this company's
artificial limbs.
The one-legged statesmen Of this
company will convene in the Capital
for the purpose OF discussing with
other one-legged statesmen ways and
means for furthering the trade in
artificial limbs. especially in Europe.
Gustav Gumpert, a local hotel man,
will bid the delegates welcome when
they assemble here in June. The line
of distinction between members and
non-members OF the organization is
sharply drawn. No mere biped can
belong. He's got to be a bona fide
onelegged person before he Is eligi-
BILE for membership.

shivering under the sting of one of
the worst "northers" of the season. 1t

more degrees in what seemed like a
space of a few minutes. There was
q wild scramble among sleepy guards

day was the regular weekly inspec-
tion. Most of the day was spent by
men of the regiment In figuring ways
and, means of keeping warm. The
cold spell Is scheduled to. last for
several days.

erratic that 1t pays to always be pre-
pared. In line with this policy. when

SENIORS CAN SWIM NOW
So Tension Is Lessened In Central
Hiah School Class.

Tension among the members OF the
senior class of Central High School is
at a little lower point today, since
the last member of the class learned
to swim.
The Board of Education ruled that
since Central had q swimming pool
the students should learn to swim,
and added swimming to the list OF
subjects required for graduation
The members of the class that Is to
be graduated in February promptly
began their swimming lessons. A
number already could swim, and they
were the envy of their classmates.
Those who couldn't, with many a
groan and shudder at the thought OF
entering the water during cold
weather, donned bathing suits and
started in.
The only member left who didn't
learn, because he was SO engrossed In
his. lessons, awoke recently to md
that although he was among the
leaders of his class in studies, he
would not be on the platform when
the time came for graduation. He
can swim now.
