Congress for residents of the District
Of Columbia is being sought by local
real estate men in connection with
their dealings with the out-of-town

week.
One of the first Of the local realtors
to take an advanced step in this di

Badly in Need of Help.
Il cannot overlook the opportunity
TO ask you to help Washington in a
way that it badly needs help said
MIR. Walker. THE United States Con-
gress is the city council for the Dis
trict Of Columbia. Every appropria-
tion must be passed by Congress; the
salary of every clerk is fixed by that
body; the appropriation is passed by
Congress for the Improvement Of
every street With such a busy Con-
gress and with no representative
therein from the District of colum-
bia. naturally many laws are delayed
in their passage. We are well salts
fled with our system of local govern
ment, but We do want two senators
ard the proper number of representa-
tives in Congress with power to plead
our cause and to vote.
Our laws are executed by three
Commissioners, two of whom are ap-
pointed by the President of the
United States and the third being A
member of the Engineer Corps of the
Army. who is detailed for a three
year term by the President. To con-
vince you of the desirability Of this
form of government, which is "A gov
ernment without politics, / need only
say that during its history Of some
rtyodd years there has never been
case of graft proved and only a
couple of Investigations. the result
of which served to show the impair
tial and able way in which our laws
have been carried out.
Residents without Vote.
1T viii possibly surprise some Of
you to know that the 400, 900 odd citi-
Zens Of the District of Columbia have
no vote Of any character; have no
voice in determining who shall be
I President of the United States, or
hold other governmental offices. Tax
alton without representation was the
cause of the formation of our gov
ernment; the Constitution, however
provided that uneducated Indians,
people of unsound mind, criminals
and residents of the District of Co
lumbia should not vote. and we re-
sent II.
Having no vote, it is difficult for
US to get started a move for CON
stitutional amendment and we have
TO depend upon you, our friends from
the states.

Geography of Planet Venus.

Venus appears to be mountainous
world. Gray shadings may be seen at
times in the midst Of high pressure
areas. Their positions and outlines
change with the shifting clouds, but
when a composite drawing is made of
several observations they appear fixed
to the surface of the planet. From the
fact that the darkest ones are also
the most often visible, it is inferred
that the gray spots are the masses OF
continents dimly visible.
The behavior of Venus storms also
confirms this belief. They actually
shun the regions where dark shadings
are seen, and mainly keep to the
spaces between. Storms on earth find
it notoriously hard to cross divides Of
land. Inc Venusian seas seem to be
hot and steaming, and from their sur
faces rolling clouds of vapors arise.
Venus shows phases like the moon.
She lies between us and the sun, and
so portion of her night side is almost
always turned toward US.

Medicine Men.

In all times some degree of healing
power has been aScribed to the priest
hood. Medicine-men, mystery-men, Sha-
mans, or by whatever name they might
be called, were to be found in every
tribe of North American Indians.
Some of these knew the medicinal
qualities Of roots and herbs and prac-
ticed rude surgery, and others were
takers" A medicine-man of the
Walapai, Yuman tribe on the Colo
RADIO river, says John G. Bourke in an
article on the Apache medicine-men,
would cast "a bullet in mold contain
ingla small piece of paper. The healer
would have an Indian FIRE this bullet
at him and the lead, because of the
paper, would split into pieces and do
him no harm.
Another would secretly fasten the
end of roll Of sinew to twig, swal-
low the ball and hold the twig between
his teeth. After the sinew had
softened and expanded because of the
heat and moisture of the stomach" The
magician would astound his friends

CALLS FOR SOME DISCRETION
Power of Attracting Birds May Be All
Right in the Country, but in
the City!

One Of the best ways of attracting
birds, according to the authorities, is
to place the lips to the back of the
hand and make violent kissing
sound.
Apparently this has some resem-
blance to the cries of wounded bird;
and, according to one of the bird books,
one may enter an apparently deserted
thicket and, after few minutes of
this sort of thing, find oneself sur
rounded by an anxious or curious
group Of its feathered inhabitants"
This is valuable information, but to
be used with discretion. In Central
park, for instance, one is just as likely
as not, after trying this little ornitho-
logical experiment, to find oneself sur
rounded by an anxious or curious
group of gentlemen with blue coats
and brass buttons. Better keep these
tactics for the open country.-Freder-
lex L. Allen, in Harper's Magazine.

absurd. We wallop our children for

has "set the ocean on fire."
Equally untrue is it when we say
that steak is as tough as leather"
the coffee "as cold as Ice" or that the
cake is las heavy as lead" One re-

who First Licked Stamps?

Dispute is being waged as to the
earliest postage stamp Ticker. Claim
is put forward for James Chalmers
of Arbroath, Scotland. who submitted
specimens of adhesive postage stamps
to a select committee of the house of
commons in 1894 Rowland Hill is al
SO credited with the invention, hay-
ing experimental with glutinous
washes in 1887. As Rowland Hill di-
rected the British postal arrange
ments. he was probably the first man
to lick genuine postofiice stamp.
