York in Graphically
Depicting Sciences
Courses, Credited.

Thomas r. Henry Of the editorial
staff of The Star has been elected to
membership in the Washington Acad-
emy Of Sciences, 1t was made known
today.
Mr.. Henry's election, It was said,
represents rare and, in one respect
unique distinction. AS far as
known, he is the only member of the
local academy whose chief vocation
is not some branch of scientific work
and is the only newspaper man ever
to have been elected to the academy.
He was nominated, 1t was explained
by his friends in the academy, be-
cause of the contribution to general
knowledge Of science through his
articles on scientific subjects appear
ing in The Star, and because Of his
original research work in psychology,
represented in his collaboration with
DR.. Mandel Sherman of the Univer-
sity of Chicago on a book Hollow
Folks dealing with the character
istics and life of community of
Virginia mountaineers.
Washington's scientific population
is about 5000. The Washington Acad-
emy of Sciences has a membership Of
about 400. Those who are elected
to membership are restricted to those
who, "by original research or SCI
entific attainment" have become ell
gible. Election to membership is
regarded by scientists as a distinction.
Members of the society told The
Star that Mr.. Henry's name was pro-
posed by sponsors who spoke of his
writing on scientific subjects as
unique in journalism, because Of his
ability to make scientific and tech

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt was told today
by Francis M Law, president of the
American Bankers Association. that
there Is "a very definite and very real
improvement in business"
Banks are. returning to "a more
normal lending policy" he commented
on leaving the White House.
THE banking structure is very
sound and that has helped to restore
confidence.
Business men are attacking their
problems with renewed confidence and
looking forward to profits this year.
Naturally, they were not lending
normally when confidence was shat
tered. Now. with an improvement in
conditions, 1t is no longer necessary
for banks to be superliquid."
Accompanied to the White House by
r. S. Hecht, first vice president of the
association, Law said there were some
forms of credit such as capital financ-
ing and long-term financing on which
the banks may need assistance. He
withheld comment on the impending
administration proposal to establish
intermediate credit banks under the
Federal Reserve System to handle this
form of credit. He did say this form
of credit doesn't belong in CONNER
cial banks"
The officials reported that President
Roosevelt had placed on his calendar
an engagement to speak to the an
nual convention of the association
here in October.

NEW AGRICULTURE.
POST D|SAPPROvED.
House Appropriations Unit
Fails to Report Under
secretaryship.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Authority for creation Of the Office
of Under Secretary of Agriculture was
eliminated today from the Agriculture
Departments $59,406, 900 supply bill
by the Appropriations Committee In
reporting the measure to the House.
The Office, with a $4,000 annual
salary. had been approved by the sub
committee that drafted the bill, but
the full group knocked 1t out shortly
before submitting it to the House on
the ground that 1t was a legislative
matter and should first be handled by
the Agriculture Committee.
Car Fund Reduced.
The full committee also reduced
from $4,000 to s2.50o an allotment for
new automobile for Secretary Wal
lace.
1t recently allowed $4,000 for the
Secretary of the Treasury and it was
held that the Agriculture Secretary
should not have better machine than
another cabinet member
The committee allowed the Farm
Credit Administration S2,820. 600
bringing the total outlay to 62,226.-
900.
A. A. A. to Expend $831,o22,0O0.
Because the Agriculture Adjust
ment Administration had expended
less than S10,000.000 of the S100, ,00O,-
900 set aside for it by Congress, no
appropriation was made for that
| agency.
However, 1t was pointed out the
Farm Administration would expend
in benefits to farmers during the COM
ing fiscal year 1891 .022, ,000 This
amount is a so-called automatic ap-
preparation and comes from process
ing taxes.
| OF the actual appropriations for the
Agriculture Department, S26,616,000
is allocated to highway construction
payments to States and for co-opera-
tive activities between the States and
the Federal Government.
The committee did not approve the
recommendation of Thomas H. Mac
donald, chief of the Bureau of Public
Roads, for another S400,000,00 road
program
While the bill is s14o.802, 900 less
than the appropriations for the cur
rent year, that is attributable largely
to the $1,000 100000 for the Farm Ad-
ministration, S27,00000O 10 highway
construction and numerous suspended
activities.
Chairman Sandlin, Democrat, of
Louisiana, OF the subcommittee that
drafted the bill, said in his reporte
from several emergency funds to COM
pensate for budget reductions, vast
sums had been turned over to the de-
partment.
These included $500, ,975, 900, OF
which S40O,000,0O0 went to highway
construction. In addition, civil works
allotments amounted to $18,520000.
Sums allotted to the department
from emergency conservation funds
totaled s86,975,000.
Responsibilities Increased.
In support Of creating the Office OF
undersecretary, the committee said
the department had but one assistant
secretary, while all other departments
! including the small Labor Depart.
mert. had two or more assistants.
1.-The administrative responsibilitie.
Of the Secretary of Agriculture have
been markedly increased in recent
years and the prompt and effective
conduct of the business of the de-
partment necessitates the additiona,

vided," Sandlin wrote.

OBSERVANCE OF LENT

The Lenten season, which is observed by the Ro-
man and Greek Catholic churches, as well as in some
degree by the Church of England the Protestant
church in America and others. began on Ash We'd
esday February IA, and will continue until Easter
Sunday, April 1, period of forty days. not counting
Sundays. =
I'm the early years Of the Christian era the fast
OF Lent was observed for varying periods by some
only one or two days and by others for longer time
according to the writings of Irenaeus Greek Bishop
of Lyons. in the second century
=, Pope Leo T. in the fourth century, recommended
ne 1ast OF forty days as having apostolic authority
This period taken to commemorate the forty
days fast of Moses of Elijah, and especially that of
Christ.
Theoretically, at least the faithful sustaining from
food on fast days until evening, worldly amusene nts
and secular celebrations to be avoided and mar
r1ages are held to be undesirable during Lent.
The duty of fasting is modified with respect to
laboring people, children, and women under certain
conditions but increased diligence works of char
ity is enJoned upon all, as well extraordinary at
tention to all religious observances throughout this
period.

Early Football Games

So far as can be established, foot
ball was played in the United States
very late In the Eighteenth century.
The boys had no rules and no
actual contests. They merely kicked
around an inflated bladder for fun
or exercise, each, perhaps trying
to kick farther than the other, the
longest kicker being champion for
the day. In 1865 both Rutgers and
Princeton decided that a game could
be made out of football kicking.
Perhaps some one obtained a copy
Of the English rules governing foot
ball. Anyway, In 1888, both col
leges had drafted a set Of rules
which provided 20 men on q side,
goal posts that were 25 feet apart
and playing field not much larger
than the one of today. Six goals
constituted a game. The ball was
to be kicked; throwing or carrying
1t was barred.
