to use its share for a building and grounds The cost of the land would not be great From 200 to 1000 acres would be needed, according to various estimates and plans.
 Sites Suggested
 There are several sites suggested. one in Rock Creek Park. and another. tract Of 800 acres across the Poto- mac river in Virginia This latter site is regarded as especially good It is part of the land which was originally in the District and was later ceded back to Virginia It is already owned by the government and used by the Department of Agri- culture as an experiment. station. We have been told that the station needs a larger piece of land and would be willing to move. The Virginia land is near Arlington. the National Gem etery. and commands an attractive view of Washington. It is also de- sirable in that it is easily reached by street car.
 The Rock Creek site is not so ae- cessible. Still another site, near the Capitol, would involve a great deal of preliminary work, as whole blocks If old houses would have to be torn down.
 The government appropriation would be needed only to pay for the land, if privately owned property were selected, and to pay for a small office force to do the clerical work necessary in developing the plan. Representative Davis figured that board of trustees composed of the vice epresident, ex-officio, the speaker of the house of representative, ex- officio, and four senators and four representatives would manage the project. He proposed that they give their services without additional pay The only appropriation in his bill was a sum not to exceed sI0,000 a year for clerical hire.
 The cost of the buildings would be decided by each state, and no state would be urged or compelled to build at all if it preferred not to- Each state is to be left to itself to plan it's own building, according to the present scheme, but tho board of trustees and the fine arts com mission would probably pass upon plans to make sure that they were practical for the location and that they would fit harmoniously with the others This would not mean that | single style of architecture would | be prescribed for the group of build | ings Each state would be expected
 to use it's own designs, and especially | its own materials of stone and wood. | The interior would contain an ex- hibit wit hpossibly a library of refer ence books and an assembly hall for meetings. The buildings could be buseums of the states only. with caretakers in charge, or they could

WASHINGTON. D. C., Feb. 16.-A plan for each state. and possibly each foreign country, to be represented in Washington by permanent eXposi- tion building is being considered. The states spend large sums regu- larly to erect temporary buildings at the big expositions that last only a few months. Now they are to be in- vited to consider establishing perma- nent exhibit buildings.
 The National Capital has been rec commended as the logical place for them for two reasons: First, because state rivalry is so keen that no other city would meet with general ap- proval. whereas Washington belongs to the country as a whole The other reason is that a permanent exposi- ton at Washington has been urged

HOW BRIGHT Is MOONSHlNE? By Dr. William E. Barton

Our eyes are adjusted to varying intensites of light. This is great convenience What we have to artificially with opening the lens wide when light is dim and stopping it down when the light is too strong, the eye does automatically with it's adjustable curtain that accommodates the opening in the lens to the degree of light.
 One of the tests which physicians when the breath ceases, is to light match and lift the lid of the patient; if the pupil of the eye fails to contract the match is held near. the patient is almost certainly dead.

A PERMANENT EXPOSITION

for over 20 years and congress is getting used to the idea that when there is such an exposition 1t will be at Washington. Back in 1897, there was bill providing 1000 acres of land in Rock Creek Park in Wash ington. and since then there have regularly been bills by which con gress was to make it possible for the states to be represented by build ings at the National Capital.
 Something of the sort would un doubtedly be of great value in adver- tising the states. Most foreign wis itors who make flying trips to America see only limited part of the country and leave without ever gaining any real conception of its extent.

Some Famous Tlmepieccs

The fragile watch Of the dainty pat
tern and design. which today is a
favorite among women, is in striking
contrast to some of the watches which
were famous several centuries ago.
Many of these were of enormous
size and of the most ornate design.
Mary Queen of Scots was the pos
SCISSOR or arleath s-head watch. which
was of silver gilt and most deliberately
ornamented. The forehead of the
skull bore the symbols of death, the
sCythe and hourglass placed between
a palace and a cottage to show the
impartiality of the grim destroyer.
AT the back of the skull was Time,
destroying all things, and at the top
of the head scenes Of the Garden of
Eden and the crucifixion, The watch
was opened by reversing the skull.
placing the upper part of it in the
hollow of the hand and lifting the
jaw by the hinge this part Icing en-
riched by engraved representations of
the Holy Trinity, angels, and shep-
herds with their focks. The works
OF the watch formed the grains OF the
skull, and we're within silver enve-
lope which acted as musically-toned
hell, while the dial plate was in the
place Of the ralate. The curious work
of art was made at Blois and. at her
death, was bcqueathed by Mary
queen of Scots to her maid of honor,
Mary Seton. in 1857. 1t afterward
came into the possession of Sir John
Dick Lander.
Another skull watch, which once
belonged to Mary Queen of Scots. by
its inscription and date. 1860, shows
that Francis III of France presented
it to his young wife many years be-
fore watches were supposed to have
been brought to England from Ger
many.
Queen Mary was, evidently, a col
lector of watches of unique design
She is said to have possessed one in
case of crystal. shaped like coffin,
and another made at Rouen. in which
a thread of catgut supplied the place
of a chain.
Some of the early watches were so
small as to be set in the head of
walking sticks, the clasp OF bracelets.
or in pendants. and there is a record

PROTECTING THE MILk SUPPLY

The letter Of Mr.. Philip b.
Cooper in Tuesdays Evening
Capital, advocating protection
through municipal ordinance, OF
the city's milk supply, is very
convincing paper. The subject
matter is one of vital concern to
every household, particularly
those in which there are children
and invalids dependent IN large
measure upon pure milk.
When we learn that the ma jor-
ity of dairies supplying Annapolis
are putting the risk upon the con
sumers of a tubercular product
thus involving daily menace, ii
is enough to make us sit up and
take notice. That we are willing
10 take chances on a mater of this
nature is all the more surprising
when we realize, if we only stop
to think, that it is absolutely UNI
necessary.
One simple solution is that con
tanned in Mr.. Cooper's suggestion
that many progressive cities are
now passing ordinances, where
State laws do not protect their
people, preventing the sale of milk
within their limits unless from
herds producing proper evidence
of the tuberculin test having been
regularly applied by proper au-
thorities. Such an ordinance is a
safeguard to the health of the
community and costs it nothing.
This is matter that offers an
opportunity for notable public
service by the municipal authori-
ties.
