STADIUM BILL GETS
STRONG. SUPPORT
GaIIivan Pledged Backing in
Move to Provide Potomac
Park Sports Arena.

Determined effort is being made to
rush through the present session OF
Congress legislation directing the
prompt erection of a great national
stadium in Potomac Park, which will
bring the biggest national and inter-
national athletic contests to Washing
ton, and which will be available for
countless gatherings.
The bill introduced yesterday by Rep
resentative James A. Gallivan of Mas
sachusetts, a former famous Harvard
athlete, now a member of the appropri-
ations committee, attracted general at
tention and promises of support from
members of both House and Senate,
because the need for such q stadium
has frequently been impressed upon
Congress.
The Gallivan bill provides that the
chief of engineers Of the United States
Army is authorized and directed to
construct in Potomac Park, on a site
selected by him, a stadium, which shall
be devoted to public ceremonials and
athletic events, and shall have a seat
ing capacity. of 100000 persons.
In the preparation of the plans,
specifications and estimates for the
stadium, the chief of engineers is .au-
thorized to obtain the assistance of
the office of public buildings and pub
lie parks of the National Capital and
of the supervising architect of the
Treasury Department., and also may
employ such professional services as
he deems necessary.
Upon completion the stadium would
be- under the jurisdiction of the office
of public buildings and public parks.

Mr.. Sothern has at last consented
to do what so many of his admirers
have wished. He returns to the vein
of light comedy and has lost none of
the skill he so agreeably displayed
in such pieces as Lord Chumley'

with reluctance that his admirers
bade farewell to Sothern in his light
comedy roles, and there is enthusiasm
in welcoming him back to a place
in the hearts of those who like their
laughter with touch of sentiment.
At the close of the second act the
audience patiently applauded as the
curtain was lifted Is or 16 times be-
fore Mr.. Belasco could be persuaded
to appear and deliver the little speech
which almost everybody knows by
heart. That little line, II am very
proud" has outlasted many popular

Never Dies is as clean and ideallstlc
play as could be required by the most
exacting taste-in shining contrast to

was an expression Of gratitude, going

that "all is forgiven" PHI. j.

JOHN BULL is PRE-SAXON.
Sir Arthur Keith Says Figure Is
Early Caucasian.

LONDON, December 7 R.-John
Bull is not a Saxon at all, as gener-
ally supposed. John Bull, it seems, is
sort of prehistoric Caucasian.
Sir Arthur Keith, the famous an
thropologist, has been coldly examin
ing this world-known figure, who
started on his path to fame in 1712
and concluded that the typical John
Bull, as seen by the cartoonist, is not
in the least typical of Englishmen
Said Sir Arthur to the Royal Society
of Medicine:
Neither in face nor coloring is
John Bull a true Saxon, an0 to find
his prototype it is necessary to go far
back to certain invaders early in the
second millennium, Be, who appear
to have originated beyond the Cau-
casus, where big noises and round
