OnD. G. Vote
Park View Club
Told Continuing
Drive Needed

To win national representation
and local government for the Dis
trict of Columbia. the women Of
Washington must employ the same
persistence their sisters displayed in
the long fight for women's suffrage,
Seton Darr, former president of the
Bar Association of the District,
told the Park View Women's Club
last night.
It took the women of the United
States many years to convince the
legislators that women should have
the vote, Mr.. Darr pointed out.
Suggesting the constitutional
method" of petitioning the Govern.
ment to local residents working for
the vote and national representa-
ton, Mr.. Darr suggested that the
women become sponsors Of this
method.
He further urged them to keep
petitions actively circulating and
to secure signatures from organiza-
tions and individuals in the District
at every opportunity. Keep them
going all the time," he advised.
Never let up"
Mr.. Darr explained that the OBJ
jectives of the petition campaign
would be to convince Congress that
interest in the subject never lags
in the District and that the suffrage
movement is so widespread that it
cannot be ignored.
Mr.. Darr spoke at a meeting at
the home of Mrs. D. Edward Clarke,
with Mr.. w. o. Hancock, club presi-
dent, presiding. Mrs. Thomas H.
Faris, program chairman, intro
duced the speaker.
Piano selections by Mrs. Harvey

Born in 1898, Giant Weighed
1000 Pounds at Death.

RALEIGH, N. C.-Largest human

of history, but relatively obscure
North Carolinian, according to be-
lief here.
Miles Darden, who weighed over
1000 pounds at his death, was born
in North Carolina in 1898 and died
in Henderson county, Tennessee,
January %, 1857. Such a creature
must have been sensation in the
South at that time, but little is
known of Darden in this state now,
though his existence is mentioned
in 1.-THE North Carolina Historical
Review" of October, 1926. Therein
F. A. Sondley referred skeptics to
Appleton's Cyclopedia of American
Biography (Vol. 2, p. 77) land other
authorities. No other authorities
were uncovered by a superficial
search, though contemporary Ten
nessee newspaper accounts of such
a marvel must be extant.

Miles Darden, giant,-was feet

pounds. Until 1858 he was active,
energetic, and able to labor, but
from that time was obligated to re-
main at home, or be moved about
in a wagon. In 1850 it required
1914 yards of cloth, one yard wide,
to make him coat. His coffin was
eight feet long 35 inches daap

Nearest rival to such corpulency
was the giant Daniel Lambert OTTO

739 pounds. Darden was a third

that in 1889 his coat was buttoned
around three men, each of them
2O0-pounders, who thus encountered

square at Lexington. Darden was
twice married and had children,

Ounce for ounce, with the posi-
BILE exception of the shrews, the
tiny least weasel is the most fero-
cious and bloodthirsty animal of the
mammalian class. Only fraction
over six inches in length, and weigh
ing on an average about one-third of
a pound, it is distinguished from the
other weasels by its extremely
small size and almost total
lack of the characteristic black tip
to the tail. With its long fattened
head, wide jaws, and peculiar loop
ing gait when seeming trail, it
gives a definite impression of resem-
blance to reptile. There is a
tense readiness about it, compare
BILE to a coiled spring held precari-
ously in leash.
The least weasel is reddish-brown
above, and white beneath. In COM
mon with other weasels, it pos
sesses the ability to change to a
white coat in winter, which must
give it an enormous advantage over
the mice and birds upon which it
preys. In fact, it is only in the
light Of the almost unbelievable
fertility Of its victims that one can
conceive Of their continued exist
ence. for al weasels are known to
attack out Of mere lust for kill
Ing. However. this 10 apparently
