Half of America
Physically Unfit
Secretary Weeks Makes Speech La
menting This Condition Before
Physical Education Confab.
tBy United PreSs)

Washington, Nov. l6-Half Of the
population of the United States is
physically sub-normal, Secretary of
War Weeks declared in an address to-
day opening a three day conference
here of physical educators with the
War Department to discuss training
the youth of the country.
Weeks based this statement on sta
tistics of the draft during the war,
confirmed by industrial studies, life
insurance companies and medicsl as
sociations, and added that the indus
trial losses due to preventable illness
are estimated at nearly $4,000, 100000
yearly.
You can imagine the possible eff
feet of such condition upon ma
ton waging war for it's life with all
the hardship and privations which call
for q maximum physical effort and
without the support OF allies to sus-
tain it," the Secretary declared.
I'm times Of peace disturbing facts
clearly indicate that, lacking d crisis,
the average citizen is not keenly in
terested in the national welfare.
Strikes which involve the discomfort
and almost the lives of our people;
maSsacres similar to the one at Her
rim which should be an impossibility
in a civilized nation; numerous organ
lied groups in our body polite starv
ing for class or sectional advantages;
absurd political ideas, many striking
at the very foundation of our form
Of government-are all signs of an
unhealthy condition in our citizen
ship.
Improvement of the physical
health of our people will assist in re-
medying this condition. Undoubted
ly universal education will help ma
terially. Our form of government is
based on reason and intelligence. One
person out Of every four unable to
read and write, as indicated by the
selective draft, is an alarming con-
dition, the more so because it could
be so easily corrected"

Drive For Funds
For Markers
Committee To Launch Move TomOr-
rOw-Seek 70 Raise Between
SI2O0 and $500.

Tomorrow is the day set apart by
the committee of the chamber OF
commerce to raise the necessary
funds with which to erect tablets
marking the historical places in this
city, mention Of which has already
appeared in these columns Il is un-
derstood that the amount to be rais-
ed for this work will be between ST.
200 and 81 800. 1t is pointed out that
extreme care should be taken to see
that all data given on these tablets
is absolutely correct, and the COM
mittee will undertake to see that this
is done.
There are four places to be marked
which have not yet been referred to
but are very important. The home
of Elisha Cullen Dick, situated at 209
Prince street. He was born in 1850
and died in the year 1925, he was con-
sulting physician in Washington's
last illness, and was at his bedside
when he died and at that moment he
stopped the bedroom clock which
shows that he died at 1920 p. m.
This clock is now the property Of
=
sons and can be seen there.
The home of DR.. James Craik (who
was born 1880 and died February II,
1914, is still standing at 210 Duke
street DR.. Craik was a close per-
sonal friend and family physician Of
Washington and was at his bedside
when he died and received his last
messages. He was with Washing
ton in the French and Indian wars
and served also throughout the Rev
olution. He had charge of the hos
pital at Yorktown. and though the
evidence is not clear he is said to have
been made by Washington the first
surgeon general Of the u. S. Army.
1t is contemplated to mark the OLD
Presbyterian Meeting House on South
Fairfax street which was originally
built in 177l, and in the old church
cemetery adjoining are buried many
distinguished leaders in the Revolu-
tion, among them, Col. Dennis Ram
sey, Major John Carlyle, Dr.. James
Craik and Major William Hunter, Jr.
The committee especially desire to re-
store the graves of Major John Car
lyle and DR.. James Craik and place
suitable inscriptions on each tomb. In
furthering this long neglected but
worthy undertaking it is hoped that
the committee will have the support
Of all AleXandrians in this work
those who treasure the history of this
grand old city, which cannot be ex-
cclled on this continent.

POLITICIANS
LOOKING FOR
THIRD P AR [ Y
Party Leaders VIII Be Sur
prised If Party Doesn't
Rise.
WANTING LEADER
Party Would Be Composed OF Dis
gruntals From Both Republican and
Democratic Ranks - Presidential
Ticket Sure.

Washington, Nov. l6-With third
party movements" springing up in
various parts of the country, thought
ful and intelligent politicians Of the
two great parties expect that the next
two years will see a determined eff
fort to manufacture a third party
whether public sentiment for such
party exists or not.
Whether there will be a third party
based on a more or less spontaneous
expression of popular dissatisfaction
with the existing parties depends in
large measure, in the opinion Of close
observers here-including one OF the
most farseeing Republican Senators,
whose political predictions heretofore
have seldom gone wrong three
things.
1-TaXation and the cost of living
2-IndUstrial and economic poll
cies of the government
3-How fast Europe gets back on
its feet
There is 10 doubt that a third party
presidential ticket will be put in the
field in 1924 and that many votes will
De cast for that ticket But that third
party will be organized and mainly
supported by people VINO are not now
Republicans or Democrats The kind
IF third party the Republican and
Democratic leaders are concerned Is
one made up Republicans or Demo-
Gratis voters, or both-a third party
that will ruin either one or both of
the now dominant political groups:
Republican leaders, for instance,
fear more greatly the f1sa bloc
which will sit III the GSth congress, as
4 third party nucelus than all the con-
ferences Of radicals, berals, and in
teliectuals chat can be held If the
farm bloc develops into a third party
it will do so on its record in the next
-wo years, whereas the radicals and
intellectua!s will simply make d third
party among themselves and try to
win support for it on pledges and
promises 1t is the difference between
promise and performance and between
the two, political observers pointed
out, the people are more likely to be
lraWn to the group that has made a
record of actual achievement
If taxes remain high and lie heavy
on the farmer and the small business
man; if industrial legislation uppleas-
ing to labor and economic laws un-
helpful to the farmer are passed, and
if Europe does not come back, Great
ing markets for American goods and
prosperity for American workers.
there is very likely to be a strong
third party demonstration by rebels
within the ranks Of the two present
parties
a third party, like any other, de-
pends largely on its leadership for
success, and for that reason the spon-
sors Of existing new party movements
are trying hard to line up Senators
Borah, La Toilette, Johnson and
Progressives with their various po-
!itical creeds These senators are
standing aloof Not even La Toilette
wishes just yet to Join any hand made
third party Borah refuses to be trap
ped into jumping the party fence
Johnson grows more regular as the
days go by All Of them want to
watch developments during the com
inc two years, before they exit their
present allegiance
