“Lame Ducks” Still Can Paddle About

WASHINGTON.— “Lame ducks" are not to be wiped out as a species. Many months ago the senate adopted a proposed amendment to the Federal Constitution, indorsed by the American Bar association, and championed on the floor by Senator George W. Norris of Nebraska, which had for Its purpose the elimination of government control by-“lame ducks." In general terms, the amendment provided that members who failed of re-election in November should go out of office early In January, nd that the newly elected congress should be called Into session on the first Monday of that month to take up the legislative reins. r Similarly, a defeated candidate sof 3 the Presidency would not continue in office from the election in November until March 4 following, but his successor would be inaugurated two weeks after the newly elected congress began to function. Whei. the house received the proposed amendment, bearing the senate's formal ratification, the measure was referred to the house judiciary committee, and there it remains. Representative George S. Graham of Pennsylvania, chairman of the committee, is understood to be opposed to it and does not plan to have his committee act on it. Another attempt to knock “lame ducks" out of the government ponds

Deer Had Fun With “Movie” Operators

T’ES. sir, it was a grand idea." , said the grizzled ranger just I now reporting to the federal forest service. "Yes sir. It certainly was a grand idea, but the deer, they had other ideas." Hence this brief story of an untiiined film, of an unwritten chapter, and of a benefaction unfulfilled. The 30,000 mule deer —largest and sportiest variety of true deer on this continent and flaunting a spread of antlers averaging nearly forty Inches — which graze the 80,000 acres of Buckstone Mountain preserve have refused to be saved, to be filmed, or be put in the thrill chapter of Mr. Zane Grey's next novel about the great open spaces. Eighteen years ago, when President Roosevelt created Buckstone Mountain preserve, 3,000 progenitors of the 30,000 were grazing there. What with the strict game laws then established and aimed at extermination of the predatory mountain life, nature took her copious course. Hence the 30.000. This winter their grazing was reported thin; so thin that the noble mule deer was said to be in danger of starvation. The federal government /wanted to let in the hunters to ease the situation. The state of Arizona objected to that as a federal interference.

Great Britain to Have New Embassy

FOLLOWING an interview With sir Esme Howard, the British ambassador. Harry Wardman, local real estate man and builder, announced that he had purchased the present British embassy, at Connecticut avenue and N streets, and would erect a new embassy building on a lot on Massachusetts avenue near Observatory circle. The sale price is understood to have been $500,000. Mr. Wardman announced that his company would construct an office building, either te® or eleven stories high, on the site of the present British embassy. The new embassy. It is said, also will cost $500,000. and the size of the ground upon which it is to be built is

Weevil Seems to Flourish on Poison

THE cotton boil weevil te causing experts <rf the army chemical warfare service many sleepless nights. Seeking a chemical with whlcn to destroy the boll weevil and prevent destruction ot cotton crops, the chemical service has utilized 30,000 of the insects and tried out more than 200 different chemicals. But still no destroyer bas been discovered. At the present time more than 17.000 boll weevils are being bald in cold storage for experiments in hothouses in South Carolina. Investigations of possible chemical destroyers will continue, according to Brigadier General Fries, chief of the service, until 600 chemicals are experimented with. “After these experiments." said Gen. Fries, “we will establish the fact as to whether or not they injure the cotton plant, and whether raw materials are sufficiently available to be manufactured in proper quantities, and also Che matter of distribution mi the cotton plantA

Historic Gallows Now Thing of the Past

The District Jail gallows, stark reminder of the inexorable penalty society exacts of some pris1 oners, no longer throws its sinister shadow down the long, narrow confines of the dining hall in the north wing, to mingle over tables, benches and prisoners with shadows from the bars in windows. There Is do more gallows at the jalL It has been destroyed. After 45 rears of use to snuffing out the lives of SB felons, congress decreed the condemnation of the gallows Itseif. If there is another execution here it will be to an electric chair. A* crew of workmefi tore up the gteps and made timber out of the boards which supported Guiteau's unsteady feet as be mounted the platform one June day to 1882 to pay the penalty for murdering President GarSZ They tore down the horizontal rafter which trembled 53 times as men were sent to death from the springing of the trap- Andthe ooaked to gusoltoe to make sure it wtmld bum

to which they rertre after they have failed, at the- hando of the electorate has met with defeat. Senator C. C. Dill of Washington, who defeated Senator Miles Poindexter e< that state in 1922. only to find thaC Senator Poindexter had landed with both feet in a $17,500 federal Job, instead of the $7,500 one he would have retained had he been elected, introduced a resolution to prevent all “lame duck" appointments In the future, but he failed to get consideration of his measure. For years ineffective attempts have been made in congress to wipe out the “lame duck." but after being crippled by their constituents they land on the surface of the pond of public life in scores. It was generally believed after the senate adopted the proposed amendment that- it had a. good chance of general adoption, because there has been nation-wide resentment for many years against the present system. Many governments, such as that of Great Britain, change almost overnight wlien the existing one fails to get a vote of confidence. But in tire United States, after a congress has been elected in November, the old one continues to function until the March 4 following, and unless an extra session is called the newly elected congress does not meet until the following December, or a year and one month after the old congress has been voted out and a new one in.

“Why not then.” said friends of the brute creating, “round up the 30.000 and drive them southerly some thirty miles to the good pasturage, just as you would cattle?" A few days ago the drive started. Everybody played bis expected part except the mule deer. As the grizzled ranger said, “they had other ideas." At first startled by the cowboys and Indians who moved toward them in a semicircle, they soon entered into the spirit of the occasion as by them interpreted. That spirit was one of pure frolic. They thought the drive was a game of tag. They frisked through the timber. They took to the open spaces six ways to Sunday. They maneuvered among the brush and the bushes, ami seempd especially to enjoy letting a horseman approach them on one side of a bush to find them departing on the other side. They were admirable strategists and swiftly converted the semicircle of horsemen into an inverted V, with, which they trifled as they listed. They went on for two whimsical days, at the en*' of which there were 36 miles of 30.000 deer cavort Jag in. all directions. The tinfcle of cowbells, with which It had been planned to lure them, was faintly heard.

185.000 square feet. Gardens are planned to surround the new embassy site, to be used for formal garden parties and other social functions. The present British embassy was built in 1873 and swerved admirably Its purpose until the World war. when It was found necessary to build temporary buildings to the grounds of the embassy to accommodate the increased activities. Since that time it has been found inadequate to serve the purposes for which it was intended. am) that, together with the development of Connecticut avenue into a commercial artery. It Is understood, are main reasons for the construction of a new embassy.

“Our greatest difficulty is getting a powerful chemical into the boll weevil so he will die. The young weevil is always inside of the cotton bolls, doing his work where we cannot .reach him with a spray. “The weevil hibetoates in the winter in old stalks of cotton and lays its eggs in the puncture on the inside. These eggs batch out in there before the cotton is mature. ' They multiply with extraordinary rapidity. The possibilities are for 12,0UU.UU0 in one year from one pair of boll weevils. “The only way that question can be bandied is to get a poison on the plant or on the weevil that will kill it before it lays the eggs. There te not any way we can figure out by wldeh we can get inside the boll and kill the eggs or the worm that eats the raw fiber. That te what we are working on now, to get a chemical that will kill the boll weevil before it lights on the plant and before it lays its eggs."

The history of the gallows at the jail started with the execution of James Madison Y. 3. Stone to 1880. for the murder of his wife. The last execution waa - that of Herbert Copeland, fifty years old, executed in January for the murder of Lieutenant Dunigan several years ago. ' > Among those condemned since 1903. twenty were under forty years of age and the average was twenty-five years. George Bunton, colored, twenty, was the youngest. He was executed bn April 20, 1923, for the murder of Sam-, uel Frye, a grocer. Nelson Vail, fifty-nine, was the oldest. He was executed July 6, 1900. for the murder of Alexander Jackson. Among those hanged, 29 killed others with revolvers, 14 killed with edged instruments, a few killed with stones, and one, William Walter Hamilton. killed with his bare hands, being executed on February 2. 1906, for strangling to death Ltate Lyman. That to the history which was burned up, Insofar aa material evinre te concerted, with the gallows.

Array of Colors 1 \ in Spring Modes

Pleasing*Tints Characterize Dainty Models Featured in South. The southern playgrounds of the affluent have made demand for a wardrobe that seema to indicate the styles for spring and early summer. The presentation of these styles, observes a fashion correspondent to the New York Times, is a beon to the woman of fashion. -« There Is just now a wealth of Ideas drawn- from the highest sources of art and adapted somewhat after past experience to the requirements of the chic American woman. With as keen enthusiasm as that at the fashion year's beginning, the costume makers of Paris and America and the smart shopkeepers prepare for the Palm Beach season. Since rhe advance models were shown. Immediately after the final sale of winter clothes and sports togs, new ideas in every type of dress of the lighter sort are being displayed. The variants are a delight. There are new styles, graceful lines, beautiful fabrics and colors that seem to have depleted the artist's full palette. Great Array of Colors. The spring flowers that fill the big shop windows rival the fabrics that are displayed in quantities. Roving about where manufacturers and Importers display their wares, one finds entertainment all the way in the colors that ravish the eyes. In the windows of one dignified establishment alone are shown, in festoons and draperies. soft crepes in apple green, violet cyclamen pink, leaf brown and salmon. Where only silk Is dealt in you see orange, corn silk, yellow, cafe-au-lalt and tiger lily alternated with mignonette, reseda and absinthe green. Lilac pulsates between violet mauve and iris purple, and the cool shades are lost in orgies of color that are almost intoxicating. All of these are tn silk, which is the piece de resistance in this young season. Whether presented in crepe, chiffon, georgette or whatever it must still be of the nature of silk. In the fabrics that are intended for the semi-tropics It is Imperative that the designers shall be acquainted with certain color values and contrasts. For these in the Avenue recognise the effect of southern atmospheric conditions, the deadly purple and hibiscus red. Vivid colors that are so lovely under northern skies take on a harsh brilliance In tropical sun rays and ocean sparkle. To be comfortable to the sight clothes must be softened for sunlight and moonlight. . In every phase of dress color Is emphasized this reason, and grows more important as styles are evolved. So many colors and shades are shown that It is quite impossible to select any one as being all the rage, but one Is so conspicuously lovely as to have a distinct vogue all Its own. It is that dignified. pure soft pink which the artists call by Its floral name, cyclamen. It is presented in die finest materials of soft texture —in crepe, marquisette and chiffon particularly. It is one of those colors that is not easily combined with another. The handsomest gowns done in cyclamen pink are seiftrimmed. or are ornamented with crystal. pearl or silver beads tn some delicate pattern, and are often edged with fringe. Cyclamen is one of the few colors that serve well as a background for designs outlined in beads, and some charming models are shown in tills combination. In the lightweight sports suits and frocks for morning and general street <\ear colors are gentler than they were

Original Suits Are Trimmed in Fur

Lucien Lelong is another of the comparatively new school who te doing some delightfully original suits in wool with the addition of star. This season be Is an appstle of quiet color. A model he Is apparently proud of is a three-piece suit of gray ottoman, the frock straight, narrow, short and untrimmed, the coat a full-length wraparound, giving the new circular effect, with a slightly flaring flounce added at the knee. Horizontal tucking elaborates the coat, and is reversed in vertical lines to the flounce. Chin chills forms a rolling collar, cuffs and band about the hem, and the coat closes with a sort of cascade In a suit of simpler composition Jenny uses ottoman silk In bloodstone green. The frock bas an unbroken waistline, which ends below the hip, ■nd in trimmed with three five-inch bands of the silk to a lighter shade, sewed on straight A short box coat, somewhat like an eton Jacket to style, is finished with a choker collar and a scarf, to which are added touches of the lighter green.

Metal Tissues Much in Vogue Present Season

This is a season when much significance is attached to the glitter and gleam of metal thread. The most important designers include in their collectings models developed in metal tissues ot eveyy description, from the most fragile looking lace to brocades woven in the most intricate designs anf i a subtle blending of metal tones indescribably lovely. Entire frocks are made of metal lace poised over a foundation of velvet or satin; wraps with huge collars of costly furs are of metal tame of the mpst supple texture: evening hats are of gold lace veiled with brown tulle, and even blouses of simple tailored lines are fashioned of these metallic tissues. A beautiful fashion but a most costly one Is a cape of metal tissues with fur. This Is a reversible affair and may be worn with the silver on the Inner Silver lace and sapphire blue velvet are combined in one of the prettiest frocks «f the season. There is a ■ ■

last season and the season* preceding. “Natural” Is the name describing the shade of material which la new most in vogue for spring frocks. There is natural kasha, fbr ex. ample, the soft wheat-colored material that resembles old-style camel’s hair and bas all of the lovable qualities of that staple among fine dress fabrics. Engaging models of this tone are shown in the Rodler materials; In tunic frocks and two-piece suits; Invariably they are built along the simplest lines, almost primitive In their composition, presenting all of the new details, but without exaggeration. One delightful ensemble just brought out is made of natural kasha In a shade that Is almost cafe-au-lalt. The straight, naively Simple frock is short, being 14 Inches from the floor, and narrow. Above the hips a front panel Zj znv ft V bl > r-a M t It ' B 'l* SyBB I /1 M i flflfl i f t -1 hJSS Costume Suit for Spring Is of Natural Toned Kasha Cloth. forming a waistcoat of flame-colored crepe to added. The seven-eighths length coat of the woolen stuff to lined with the crepe matching (he waistcoat, and a piping of this and black outlines the long, narrow collar lapel, the cuff bands and a strap that goes about the hips, crossing in front. A soft bat of the kasha (doth, the crown square and rather high and the small brim slightly rolling, has a simple band of red for its trimming. Jean Patou does an ensemble of much elegance in gray, displaying an entirely new style of coat. The gown Itself is straight and close, of a clinging variety of broadcloth, and the coat, a little less than three-quarters length. Is treated in an original manner, bands of black velvet being used at intervals to form a horizontal trimming, ending each in a point at the low waistline. The velvet forms narrow turnover collar and cuffs and is used in the pointed crown of a small hat in which folds of rush-colored crepe form the front of crown and the narrow brim. In another model that to quite alluring a frock of cornsilk crepe to elaborated with narrow bands of needlework in warm colors about the skirt.

In design, apparently everything goes—the straight-line, the circular, godets and the tunic. Some o£ the prominent creators achieve Intriguing results In combinations and compromises. Jenny succeeds conspicuously In a gown of black satin made with a long, straight waist and long, tight sleeves. Around the chest Is drawn a band of gilt embroidery that Is finished with an ornamental bit of fringe In front. Thia trimming band, to which are added three fringed medallions, draws the frock dose around the body, forming a sort of girdle below the hips and serves to finish the seam of a godet flounce that lies flat at the back and ripples full in front. A swagger novelty in three-piece costumes is presented In jade green brocade de Inina. Black satin is used to outline the open front with long, narrow lapels and to give the effect of hip line drawn upward at the front Black fox forms the high dose collar and the deep cuff bands. The frock is of white georgette, laid in narrow plaits from yoke .to hem and held* with a girdle of black satin.

Flare Skirts and Straight s Among the separate skirts of the ! season the new flare skirt is slow in I taking Its place among its straightline sisters. The straight plaited ( skirt is in highest favor with the plain < wrap-around skirt coming next. The . fancy for plaited skirts has been more t lasting than might have been expect- > cd, perhaps due to the thoroughness I with which they are pressed in place , and the softness of appearance they . lend to any cloth, besides the additional width g*ven at the hem.
