the public generally does not appre

this institution Offers to the people
of the United States. The informa

forms a great reservoir for our peo-
Pile, particularly those Interested in
art and the practical sciences
"These collections, especially historic.
that could not be replaced are now
crowded into corridors and even
basement rooms where they cannot
be seen properly. The Congress owes
it to our people of today and the
future to provide adequate housing
for this great scientific institution. .

Protest on behalf of julius H.
Barnes, who during and after the
world war was head of the United
States Grain Corporation, was
made in the House late yesterday

gressional Record that he had put
his son on the government pay roll
at $4,000 a year.

read in the House by Representa-
tive Larsen, Republican. of Mime
sofa 1t called attention that Rep
resentative Schall, also a Mime
sota Republican, had inserted such
an assertion in the Record under

Mr.. Barnes declared that this
was "manifestly an abuse Of Con-
gressional immunity" He said
that at the time his son was only
fourteen years old and in school.
Casual investigation, the telegram
said, would have shown there was
no ground whatever for the state
rnent.

14TH ST. EXTENSION
HELD VITAL TO CITY
Brightwood Citizens Declare Plan
Among Most Important Bills
Before Congress.
PRESENT PLAN OPPOSED
Would Abandon Move if Amend
ment to Bill Stays.

Declaring that one of the most i'm
rortant bills now before Congress
affecting the northern portion of the
District was the extension of 14th
street northward through the Walter
Reed Hospital grounds to the District
line, the Brightwood Citizens Asso-
citation last night adopted resolu-
tions urging that the extension be
made along the provisions of the
District highway act. The meeting
was held in the Masonic Temple at
Brightwood, with Charles w Ray
presiding.
The greater portion of the evening
was devoted to discussion Of the his
tory of the bill and its present
status. 1t was pointed out that the
bill up to the present session had
been in the military affairs commit
tees of the House and Senate, and
was finally transferred to the District
committee of both branches o. Con-
gress The bill, 1t was stated, had
PASSED both the House and Senate,
hut that an amendment providing
that instead of the extension through
the Walter Reed Hospital grounds
that it stop at the southern edge of
the reservation and thence through
new street to be opened westward
10 10th street, over which the pres
ent car line would be routed.
Resolution Adopted.
There was considerable objection
to the street car line being diverted
to 18th street and thence into Alaska
avenue back to 18th street. Some
of the members favored stopping at
the edge of the reservation. A reso-
luton was finally adopted providing
that opposition be expressed to the
bill as now amended in the conferees'
hands. but that the straight exten-
sion through the grounds to the Dis
rrict line is preferred. The resolu-
,ion provided further that If the ex-
tension was stopped at the south end
of the reservation and a new street
opened to 18th street that ii be OPP
posed and the association go on rec
ord as abandoning the project en-
tirely unless extended through the
hospital grounds.
The association authorized the ap-
pointment of committee TO present
the matter to Congress and the fol-
lowing committee will represent the
association: President Charles W.
Ray, chairman; L. F. Randolph, Will
liam Nick. Clayton, Howard S. Fisk
and Charles c. Lancaster.

Attention of the association was
called to the inadequate lighting ia
cilities on Georgia avenue between

eidents occur frequently at this point

TEA AS STIMULANT.
More Effective Than Beer, German
Institute Reports.
From the Science Service Bulletin.


The German institute for research
in human food has reached the con-
clusion that beer is not nearly as
effective a stimulant as tea.
Results of a comparison of the two
beverages were announced recently. A
half-liter Of Munich beer containing
about Is grams of alcohol brought
about an acceleration of mental ac-
tion for about 20 minutes, followed
by a period of noticeable depression
lasting twice as long.
"A cup Of tea, on the other hand,
drove the mental capacity higher by
about 10 per cent, for three-quarters
of an hour, after which the subject
of the experiment returned to normal
without experiencing the i'll effects
that followed the alcoholic stimulant.
THE scientists warned, however,
that the average amount of stimulat-
ing caffein in the ordinary cup of tea
Is about one-tenth of the maximum
medical dose, so that there may be
real danger If large amounts are
tmbibed at one time. A small amount
of tea has relatively a greater effect
than a larger amount"
