MATTY'S RETURN

Christy Mathewson's return to
activity as president of the Bos-
ton National Club is a fine achieve
ment. The public will welcome his
team and him not only for the
sake of the Matty it remembers
but because it wants to see the
results of the brain and spirit of
Mathewson which are now given
a chance more in accordance with
their power. AS at pitcher he was
shrewd and square. Will he
show as the leader Of a fighting
team the same qualities which
made him an outstanding figure
on the diamond? The public be-
lieves that he will, even though
his leadership will not be mani
fest through voice and action in
the field. He has won his fight
with tuberculosis by virtue of
pertinacity and intelligent living
according to the rules; and it
is to be noted that pertinacity, in
telligence and good sportsman
ship are to be valued not only for
their rarity but for their effec-
tiveness as well. They made Mat
ty different from many of his
rivals, they helped Mathewson
back to health and they are the
qualities which will. NOT fail
President Mathewson in the po-
sition which he now occupies.
Possessing them, he is fully equip
ped, and the publish wishes him

Sleeping Sickness
Follows Influenza

Philadelphia, Feb. 2S-Promi-
nent physicians here, headed by
DR.. F. X. Dercum, professor OF
neurology and DR.. Albert +. Rous
sci, of Pennsylvania, are taking
leading part in worldwide eff
fort to discover a means OF re-
lieving victims attacked by sleep
ing sickness.
Efforts of the doctors to I'M
ravcl the mysteries of the d.
sease have thus far met with lit
tie success. Scientists, however,
are hopeful.
Sleeping sickness is a misncm-
er for the disease" according to
Dr.. Roussel. "The real sleeping
sickness is caused by a bite Of the
tsetse fly, which is found in Al
RIGA. The other disease, wrongly
called sleeping sickness, is rarely
accompanied by long periods OF
sleep, but the patient is usually.
in lethargy or may be wildly
delirious.
"The disease consists of minute
abcesses in the brain ana
often follows influenza. 1t Is
probably due to a germ of the
same group as that causing in
fuenza, but it does not seem to
be communicable, although health
laws require that it be reported.
There is no case on record IN

THE WASHINGTON TEMPLE

Progress is being made on the
George Washington Masonic Me-
mortal Association Temple which
| is to stand on that commanding
height west of Alexandria vari
ously called Shooters Hill and
Shutters Hill, The foundation is
being laid and money for the i'm
pressive patriotic and architectu-
raj project :. is coming in. The
current of gold, silver, currency
and checks is not running as
strong as. it might, but the asso-
citation reports that during the
year 100000 in cash has come to
its treasury to be expended in
this most praiseworthy under
taking. ,All told, million dollar ;
has been paid in and pledges for
-Ss00.000 have been secured, leav-'
ling balance of $1,000, 600.
Americans will not allow the con-
struction of this memorial to lag
for lack of funds.
The site is one of the very far
sweeping or far-seeing emimen-
ces in this part of the country,
presenting vistas as wide and
beautiful as those to be had from
the points on the Arlington ridge
occupied by the. old Lee mansion
and the new amphitheater. II
! looks down upon the city of Alex
andria and miles of villages be-
: tween Alexandria and Washing
ton, and the Capital city itself
forms an impressive part of the
picture. From this site the eye
looks up and down the great Pc
tomac and across the hills of
Maryland beyond the river. To
the west wide stretches of billy
country may be seen, all dotted
with historic places and laced
with roads that have played their
part in the story of America
among these roads being the Lit
tie River turnpike, which was one
of the ancient ways between the
tidwater country and the high
mountains and fertile yalleyss%of
the west. If George Washington
ever had a home town, after he
passed the age of sixteen years,
that town was Alexandria. 1t
would require book in which to
find spGce for the enumeration
of George Washington's assoca-
lions with Alexandria.
The height on which the tenn
pie will rise figured in our civil
war period and there today re-
main some OF the parapets and
bitches of Fort Ellsworth. Now
that this bit of sacred soil of the
Old Dominion is to become fam,
Gus in a national sense, local his
torians should settle the ques-
ton, if it can be settled whether
the Hill is Shooters or Shutters,
and there are persons who have
maintained that it should be Su-
tiers Hill. No doubt, far back in
time, probably in the early colon
ial period, man of such name
lived on the hill. If he owned a
piece of land there the records
of Fairfax or Prince William, or
even of the older counties may
reveal the Washington
Star.

HOPE FOR MOVIE BEAUTIES

Peprhyn StanlaWs. artist and connolSSeur
of femnine beauty, started a LOT OF talk not
long ago when he pointed out the defects in
features and proportions OF 4 number OF well
known movie actresses He did not hesitate
to say that some OF them had "horSe'S nos
trilS," were muscle bound" and had heads
too large for the body These were frank
criticisms
The artist mas now written another article
about the same 20 feminine stars He does
not retract his former statements, but he has
so many good things to say about the beauty
OF those movie charmerS that one is likely
to forget his earlier horrid comments or
the one whose head was too large ne nov
writes that she is Americas ideal OF perfec-
ton. Her features are So good individu-
ally and as whole that She is regarded as a
perfect beauty" Md so with all the others
If one is regarded as perfect beauty,
what matters it whether one is that or not ?

Sunday afternoons Clark always
called on Martha. One particular Sun
day afternoon he stayed rather late
and the family was beginning to get
restless. No one realized this any
better than did Clark. but it was just
this consciousness of the situation
that made him hesitate to take any
action. Finally he bethought himself
of a plan of action. Taking his watch
out of his pocket, he looked at 1t
moment, then asked:
"It's getting rather late, Martha
what time do you dine on Sunday
evening"
But Ruben, Martha's little brother.
took matters into his own hands at
this point.
Just as soon as you go home" he
