TEETH IN THE ABMY
DrntliitH Smt to ioillh Africa to At
tend tlir Soldier
After twenty one months fighting four
dental surgeons have been sent to South
Africa to attend to the teeth of the army
Thus does the war office put forth stu
pendous efforts to atone for past inepti
tude
In an army of 250000 men these four
surgeons should be kept tolerably busy
No soldier who has campaigned six
months in Africa will if he be wise
neglect a chance of having his teeth x
umlned Each surgeon therefore will
have a clientele of 62500 officers and men
Assuming that on every day of the week
Including Sunday thirty men are treated
by each dentist the teeth of the army will
have betn overhauled and the work of ex
cavating and filling completed la bome
thlng over sixty nine months It should
console a man on aetlve service suffer
ing today from toothache in a precious
molar which he can 111 afford to lose to
know that he will not troubled with the
agonizing pain later than April 1S07
In the unequal struggle between trek

human teeth on the other not 5 per cent

scatheless In manv cases the damage
was slleht In others where the teeth
were naturally weak and brittle the mis

PROBLEMS OF ATMOSPHERE
Air Constituents at Nine Miles Prac
tically Unchanged
LONDON April 12 Prof Dewar dis
cussing the problems of atmohpherc at the
Rojal Institution last evening said that
its constitutents to a height of nine miles
had been ascertained to be prncticallv in
the same proportion as these on the sea
level
But his theory showed that there must
be continuous variation at greater heights
Thus at eighteen miles height carbonic
acid should disappear at thirty seven
miles oxygen and at sixty two miles ni
trogen should be gone Hence it was not
to be expected that much change had been
detected in tin simples which had hither
to been brought down bj billoons
He believed however that it would be
found possible to get samples by means
of balloon- from heights of twenty miles
and more Whether there was Inter-planetary-atmosphere
or whether our atmos
phere was limited to a height of some
fifty mile was a disputed point
One school held that Inter planetary
space had no ga and no temperature
another that It had temperature some
thing like 140 degrees centigrade

Tipped Off by Pals
These men and women do not live In
this city as a rule but have been tippeJ
ofT by some of their kind that the Na
tional Capital is a soft spot and cash
ing In is merely a matter of a little time
During an large function held In this

Mr C II Rudolph Mrs II B F Mac- union the streets arc crowded with them
Farland and Mr J B T Tupper reported the more people drawn to the city by the
that in cllcvs and small streets ot south- occasion the more fake crinnlcs blinds

the filth in jards and houses by unclean
closets and overcrowded rooms They
deaf mutes and the like
One of the most conspicuous men in
this line was a man who was known as
Texas Jack Jack was sixty five years
old about six feet tall and wore a large
sombrero He had broad shoulders
and legs like those of a piano He used
to sell shoe strings on tho streets but
this seemed to be too much like work
for him or injurious to his health so he
gave It up
A Free Lunch Grabber
Ho afterward devoted his time to
grafting When he sallied forth rain or
shine he carried an old faded brown
umbrella That umbrella would hold
about two bushels of stuff and on more
than one occasion Jack taxed it to Its
greatest capacity Jack would not work
and he would not beg but he managed to
navigate all right With his umbrella
strung on his arm he would saunter forth
at an early hour In the morning and col
lect almost food enough to feed a regi
ment He would walk Into every saloon
and with his broad fascinating smile he
would attract the bartenders attention
and have a merry chat with him on the
topics of the day
When the early -morning patrons would
come Into the place to gt thir eve
openers Jack would stroll over to the
free lunch counter There he would busy
himself emptvlng the contents of all of
the plates Into his umbrella After he
had made a clean sweep he would saunter
forth to the other saloons on his route
or more properly speaking his beat One
dav he came to grief Two of the colored
porters at a cafe he visited espied blm in
the act of dumping a dish of potato salad
into his umbrella He left the saloon with
the porters at his heels and was soon
overtaken The contents of his umbrella
were promptly dumped out upon the
street
I think the old man died several years

PLEA FOR RESTORriTION
DFALEIiMIiCfllTY
Mr H Phillips Memorializes
the District Committee
MANY BURDENS IMPOSED
Caused by Proximity to District Prob
lems of Police Protection and Improve
ment of Public Highways Cited as
Reasons for Re annexation
Mr II Phillips a resident of Alexan
dria count Va who believes that the
retrocession of that countj ls unconstitu
tional and that it btill forms a part ot
the District of Columbia has communi
cated to Congress his lows on the ques
tion of restoration
Sir Phillips statement is addressed to
the House Committee on the District of
Columbia and ls as follows
In the year 17S4 pursuant to para
graph 17 section 8 article 1 of the Fed
eral Constitution Virginia ceded to the
United States n small area on the Po
tomac River to form part of the perma
nent seat of the General Government In
lS4o Congrecs passed an act ceding this
land back to Virginia thus
the established teat of government of
ten miles square The portion returned
to Virginia was organized as a separate
county only one fourteenth of the aver
age size of the counties of the State
Burdensome Problems
The problem of local police protection
and improvement of public highavs in
this little county has become difficult and
burdensome on account of the disorder
and heavy travel incident to proximity to
a large city
In ISM the War Departmert and mili
tary forces again took practical posses
sion of the county building fortifications
on every conspicuous eminence within its
borders and at the elese of the war re
tained the Custis estate of eleven hundred
acres later piving for it end establishing
a great national cemetery a large mili
tary post and a station of the Depart
ment of Agriculture within its borders
The United States makes no contribution
to the expenses of the local government
notwithstanding its ownership of one-
sixteenth of the area and one seventh of
the properl valuation ot tne count
The suburbs of cities are peculiarly
subject to the presence of unlawful per
sons who resort to such points for Illicit
liquor selling gambling and other disor
derly conduct near public highways Es
pecially ls this observed on the Sabbath
day The residents of Alexandria count
as a class are honorable Intelligent and
public spirited The attorney for the
county is active and successful in prose
cuting offenders brought to his attention
and the Judiciary resolute in sentnclng
law brcaers The police force of this
small countv limited to a few men re
ceiving Inadequate pay cannot however
prevent disorderly persons entering the
county from the city of Washincton or
preserve order along the extensive river
front The history of municipal govern
ments shows that public order Is thus
difficult to preserve near boundary lines
of a city Slalefactors constantl seek
such border for the commission of unlaw
ful acts or to escape the strong arm of
the law hence cltle are usuallv extend
ed far bcond the limits of closely built
houses
Sanitary Profection Needed
Sanitary protection equally important
to public welfare icquircs that Alexan
dria county should be restored to the
District of Columbia Disease is carried
to the limits ot cities in deposits cf
waste material not only contaminating
springs and water courses used b un
suspecting persons but adding by exhala
tion to the other impurities of city air
Fire protection In suburbs also makes an
extension of municiral limits desirable
It is alo reasonable that cities con
trol the maintenance of suburban parks
and drlvcwas contributing to the health
and pleasure of its residents The cir
cumscribed limits of walls and fortresses
observed in the history ot feudal towns
should he thus brushed aside by the ad
vance of science and civilization Th
principles applicable to the extension of
cities generally become more Important
when the seat of government and capital
of a nation are concerned
So disregarding the legal status of
Alexandria county there arc important
and practical reasons why It shoulo he
restored to the District of Columbia It
was urged In behalf of ceding part of the
District of Columbia back to Virginia in
1846 that the United States had no prop
ert or buildings in Alexandria county
Now we find the Unitd States owns three
bridges across the river and In addition
a large share of the lands buildings and
other Improvements In the county Is the
propert of the National Government
- An instance of the necessity of police
protection occurred a few ears ago
Coxcs army came to Washington Thej
were ordered from the clt and came over
m Alpxandria County and camped jnd
only moved when upon application to the
Governor a compan oi iroops uuuuicu
the arm bag and baggage across thi
river The executive officers of the Gov
ernment the Judiciary and members of
Congress pass over this unpollced area
to and from the Arlington National Come
ter If injury comes to any official or the
Government on the count hlghwas from
some criminal or insane person the Gov
ernment is responsible for neglecting t
maintain a Jurisdiction imposed by Die
Constitution
The Legal Question
It would seem however to be a proper
subject for Judicial inquiry whether
under the Federal Constitution one or
two of the three principal branches of
Government have power to alienate a part
of the established seat of government
The War Department has built on the
county highways water mains telegraph
and telephone lines and a pumiing station
on land obtained for bridge approaches In
Alexandria countv without authority of
Virginia and without permlsslo i of tie
owners of the fee of the public highways
so If Alexandria count Is law full pirt
of Virginia the United States Is a tres
passer without process of law or Just
compensation but if the Supreme ourt
declares Alexandria county part of the
Dlstiict of Columbia the Commissioners
of the District of Columbia may at onie
provide for its police protection and the
Government improvements are within the
legislative control of Congress
Congress haB prohibited fishing at
certain times and in various methods
in tho waters of the Potomac along the
District If Alexandria county Is pirt of
VirKlnla such legislation is wholly un
warranted and notwithstanding such leg
islation Virginians have full riparian
rights In tho waters of the Potomac op
posite Washington subject only to Vir
ginia laws
Jackson City has long been a tnemce
to the morals of Washington but if the
establishment of the boundary of Mary
land and Virginia has any reasonable In
terpretation Jackson City is wholly In the
District aud the Comuiisslom rs neglect
their dutlef If they do not police Alex
ardrla Island and abate a stain on Wash
ington city
Conslderlrg the restoration of Alex
andra county to the District In respei I
to the wishes ot President Washington ii
is most worth of the attention of Con
gress To the efforts otyho first and most
distinguished Presidcntthe location plan
and success of the Capital may be Justly
ascribed It will be a deserved tribute
and honor to his memory to restore the
original and proper lirplts surveyed and
established under his personal direction
Regarding the fitness pf he proposed
resolution the Supreme Court has decided
that the question ls cognizable only in a
case between the United States and the
Mate of Virginia and cannot be adjudi
cated between other parties If the court
decides Congress did not exceed Us con
stitutional powers in ceding part of the
seat of government to Virginia the con
troversy ends If the court decides how
ever Congress exceeded Its powers the
juilsdlction of Congress the courts and
Commissioners of the District will thence
forth extend over the entire ten miles
squaic
The people of Mexandria county gen
erally favor a restoration of the original
District Virginia does not wish to lose
more territory The United States paid
20000000 to Spain for a lot of foreign
islands and proposes to ray 5000000 to
Denmark for three little tropical islets
so it ma not be unjust to contribute
51000000 toward the debt of the mother
of States if Alexandria county is re
stored to the National Government
The Capital the scat of general gov
ernment is Important however not only
to the people In Washington and In Vir
ginia but Its preservation its size and
location and its welfare are rights of
and affect the people of tho entire nation
The Interests of the people from the At
lantic to the Pacific ind from Canada to
the Gulf and the detached territory
should be fully and justly considered in
the action on the proposed resolution
It may be urged Why disturb a con
dition of dismemberment of the seat of
government established for over fifty
years In reply it may be justly stated
there ls no progress of civilization or
improvement of any description tbit does
rot disturb existing conditions within
lawful limits If the object of the reso
lution Is desirable for the Government
and for the citizens directly and indirect
ly interested if it is entirely within the
powers and limitations of the Federal
Constitution and if the resolution ls ap
propriate to the subject matter it should
be adopted
