"Do THE STUFF"
N Nasium once SAID

! Jim NaSium once salu'
elves of football stars remind US
We might make ourselves a place
And departing leave behind us
Footprints on another's face.
To which we might add:
Lives of football stars remind US
That the requisite of fame
Is that time worn, age old adage,
$40 your stuff and play the game"
All of which is just gentle re
minder that the Virginia Athletic club
is all set TO do their stuff for the edl-
fication of Alexandria fans this Sun
day on the Shipyard grounds, when
the Officers team of Fort Humphreys
will be met for their second encoun7
ter of the season, and also to settle
the dispute as to who will gain pos
session of the Goldsmith trophy,
which is being presented by r. T.
Knight e. Son.
The Virginians lay claim to the
championship of Northern Virginia by
virtue of their victory over the In
dependent A. c., last week, and by
the fact that Fort Humphreys was de-
feated by the Independents in a prior
game, but to gain control of the Gold
smith trophy the Virginians must de-
feat Fort Humphreys, SO come to the
Shipyard this Sunday prepared for
fireworks. -.,.s
Doing their stuff" seems to be one
of the main requisite of the Pray
ing Virginians" this season, due in
the most part to the able coaching OF
Lee Nails and his unalterable system
of keeping everlastingly at 1t, and
the unconquerable fighting spirit OF
his charges, coupled with clear, hard
playing football. Their record OF
clean football can be vouched for by
any team that has opposed them this
season and by all who have witnessed
their games.
The Virginians only game of work
ing the public" will be by the hat
route" and they are depending on all
Alexandria fans to come across.

SILL
 ARE SUPERSTiTIOUS

MANILA, Dec. 4-The "herb doctor
 and common quack flourishes abund- gHntly in the Philippines largely be- tcause the people are not free from
 the ancient superstitions of their nat i've religion, in which sorcerers con siured the kinder gods and implored mercy for the sick in wierd incanta-
 tions and mystic dances performed rat the bedside of their patients.
 But Donate Bascos, poor farmer, recently played more than even with his ''herb doctor" He became con- vinced that the man was a fake and invited him to sleep in the house overnight. When the doctor" had dropped off to sleep Donate crawled from his bed and boloed him to death. This is the bare report of the constab- -ulary, but it is likely that there was nighborhood gossip that the doctor" was "mancuculam," or one in league with the devil. Such killings are usual ly traced to such beliefs.
 Even in Manila, thriving metropo- lis of the Philippines, old notions hang on tenaciously. The man, licensed doctor, whom it is proposed by the Quezon party to have Governor Gen. eral Wood appoint as Mayor of the city, once submitted a formal memor- ial to ex-President Taft (when he was GovernoraGenera), in which the doc tor said that Chinese were different and lower than other human beings. They even had different diseases and would not respond to the common med ical remedies

WOMEN M IN COURT AND HELP DECIDE CASE

AKRON, Dec. 4.-The custom of club women being present at daily ses- sions of police court here is proving of advantage to the presiding magis- trate, according to admissions of Judge A. F. O'Neil. What do you think of that decision,'' is not an unusual ques- tion put by O'Neil after disposing of case, particularly if the defendant is a girl or woman. He directs his inquiry to the women present in the court room
 He claims he frequently receives excellent advice from these women spectators and investigators, who rep resent the leading social and civic or 'ganizations of the city.
 In a recent case the court imposed fine of $50 on woman for shop. lifting and was about to add 30 days In jail It was the defendants first pffense, and when he put his custo- mary question to two club women in the room he was induced to knock off the jail sentence.
 Mrs. John Cummings, former presi- dent of the Women's Welsh Club of America, frequently attends police court. She believes her presence and that of her companions adds to the dignity of the proceedings. pre- vents unseemly talking and behavior and helps the judge,
 We study court conditions" she says, land make reports to our oorgan- izations which later are submitted to the civil authorities. We are mainly interested in young girls brought into court and the correction instead of punishment which we think should be applied when 1t Is first offense.
 "Once we believed liquor law vio- lators should be given the severest penalties and as much time in jail as possible, but we soon saw that would crowd the prisons and embar- ras the administration of justice. Now we favor heavy fines. That seems to be the best cure for bootleggers."

LIGHTS BOTHER . ]. MEN TESTING
 STAR HEAT

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 4.-Residents of Los Angles and Pasadena are burn ing too much midnight oil and inter- fering with the efforts of scientists of the Smithsonian Institution on Mount Wilson to measure the temper atrre Of the stars and determine what kind of climate they have up there. Dr. c. G. Abebot, well-known authori- fy on science, Is responsible for the charge.
 Dr. Abbot has just completed some extensive work at Mount Wilson, and in an official report says:
 "The galvancmeter we used at the Mount Wilson Observatory is much moro sensitive than any ever used before We got hitherto unobtainable results ip measuring the heat Of the stars through it and by the aid of the 10O-inch telescope.
 "But at the most advanced stage or our ODServatlOnS we IOuHu tuat so small thing as the turning on of light in house down in Pasadena or in the Los Angeles district would dis turb the galvanometer. The electric wires there would throw us off to a disturbing degree. don't know how we are going to offset this.
 We measured hundred cillionth degree temperature change" said Dr. Abbot, land a trillionth of an ampere electric current. The various stars are extremely different in their spec trum distribution. This throws light on their temperature, which seems to range from 5000 to 15,000 degrees cen tigrade."

RESI]|'P|ORT E IRISH REBEL
 STRONGHOLD

CLAREMORRIS, Ireland, Dec. 4.- Westport, in West Mayo, at the head of Clew Bay, little fishing village with half a dozen shops and one street. is the capital of General Kilroy's Western Republic.
 In this area the Free State Army, which never exceeded forty men, made an unsuccessful attempt to clear out the rregulars.
 The little garrison was beleagured by 400 armed rebels and escaped in boats at night about a month ago.
 Since then the General has been proclaimed President" of the Repub- lie. ES
 His army, which amounts to 500 men, well armed, equipped and sup piled, has many advantages. The roads leading to the Republic" which an invading army must follow, wind round the bases of precipitous cliffs from 1000 to 2.0o0 feet high. sentries are posted and outposts have been es- tablished on the summits.
 The subjugation of the Republic" ts a work of difficulty and will re- uuired both time and patience to ac- complish.
 Already it is stated that General McKeon is concentrating his attention on this area and forwarding troops to the border.
 Recently General" Kilroy, at the head of a column of 300 warriors, marched into Westport and purchased a large quantity of food supplies and clothing materials, for which he paid ready cash. Asked by one of his of- ficers to attack and disarm the local Free State garrison, he replied that it was not worth while, as he had abundant supplies of arms and am munition.

Plans To Preserve Records

Washington, d. c., Jan. 26 -Rough
plans have already been prepared by
the Fine Arts Commission for a nation
al archives building, in which valuable
government documents and the mill
tary records of all men who served in
the war will have a safe resting place
A bill providing for an appropriation is
before Congress. The thousands of
Civil War cases still being brought up
demonstrate the necessity of preserving
the military records of soldiers from
the menace of fire and decay, The arch
ives building is sought by the American
Legion, the national Historical Asso-
citation, and other organizations to
whom war documents are vital At
present, official records are stored
about the national capital in various
structures, many of which have been
declared unsafe. Anxiety for the safe
ty OF their own records has served to
arouse veterans Of the Legion to take
steps toward the erection of a perma-
nent archives building An item of
100000 to acquire a site for the pro-
posed structure is included in an APP
preparation recently passed by the Sea,
ate. Preliminary steps toward h E
erection Of the building will be taken

sunny Florida and the ice-bound coasts
of New England for their poor" com
rades here, has fallen to the historian
of the local post of the American Le-

explains that the "rigors" of life in
Ketchikan are mythical, and that ser
vice men here are able to do an honest
days work without donning snowshoes.

husky dogs, tell us about the igloos and
the gold-diggers and the sordoughs,'

states And all the time the Ketchikan
boys sit in their shirt sleeves, famed
by the warm japanese current that
swings in along the coast and gives
Revillagigedo Island a gentle, harmless

automobiles and play baseball here is
evidently hard to understand in the
