Woodlawn Mansion, the historic home of Nellie Custls Lewis, may be
to next summer White House. The house Is only 16 miles from Washing
ton on an excellent road and is one of the favorite stopping places of the
Jircsidont and Mrs. Wilson on their motor rides. They have Inspected it
thoroughly and appreciatively, especially In view of the probability that the
president will be so busy from now until November that he will be unlikely
to go far from Washington for a summer rest. The bouse was erected in
1805 Many improvements have been made on it recently, one of Its former

Best Ctood cf the Countries InyjIveS
U3 Poured Out on the Battle Fields
and Future Cenerationu Will
Bs the Suffere.s.
The racial damund whli-h has boon
done to the peoplo of Europe by the
killing and maiming of the higher typt
of manhood was discussed rocenuy
by MaJ. Leonard Darwin, a son of
Charles Darwin, the naturalist, at
meeting of the Royal Statistical so
ciety in Loudon, observes the New
York Sun.
In the course of his paper cm Th
Statistical Inquiries Needed Alter the
War In Connection With Eugenics."
Mnlor Durwln stated that the urmsu
casualties might bo about CVj per cent
of all the fighting men available
Major Darwin stated that unques
tionably the war was killing off the
better types of men. He pointed out
that the active causes of tho racial
damage would not cease with the war,
because the birth rates of the higher
types would continue to be adversely
affected. Only tnose lorn In the last
eighteen years would be entirely un
damaged by the war, he said, and It
would be increasingly necesuary dur
lnr the next twenty years to empha
size the fact that In cases where botk
parents are fairly healthy It is unpa
triotic and immoral to limit the slr.
of the family, except in view of bring
ing the children up In comfort
He stated that the racial damage
would be at Its worst when peace was
declared. The checking of the multi
plication of the ur.lt would never b
more needed than then, he added.
Prof. Arthur Keith, conservator ot
tho museum and Hunterian professo
of the Royal Collcgo of Surgeons,
whon Interviewed on tho subject at
the Royal College of Surgeons by h
representative of the Pall Mall Ca
ret to, said he was not aware of th
existence of any statistics which went
to show that the staturo of the French
nation diminished after the Napoleon
ic wars.
"Tho question Is: Are we losing
our best men? There Is no doubt we
are loslns our bravest men. The mcft
of the highest physical courago. of th
hlphest patriotism, have volunteered,
but have these men left children be-1
hind? If they have, and, of course,
wo know they have, then the nation
cannot bo affected as a whole.
"It should be remembered that onr
males up to the ago of eighteen re
main untouched and that part of th
population cannot be Injurod. . . .
"There Is another point to consider.
The men who are most eminently fib
ted for our modern civilization for
our industrial civilization are not the
bravest men ot the nation at all. Tha
extremely brave man Is of no use in in
dustrial life. It is nonsenso to talk
shout war being tho cause of the catas
trophe of eliminating the best men.
"Warfare goes on in tho Industrial
world, but the warfare of the Indi
trial world Is waged by competition,
not bravery. In the ono case It ll
physical courage, bravery, that counts;
In the other versatility and brains."

Record Load of Legs.
The larccst load of loss ever drawn
by a team of horses hitched to a sleigh
was recently huuled fifteen miles from
a lumber camp In Beltrami county,
Minnesota, to the town of Pino Island,:
whero it was shipped on nine freight
cars to tr.e nearest taw mill. Sit
horses were required to haul the mon
ster load, which consisted of 200
twelve-foot lops, weighing approxU
mately 250 tons. When sawed up
these logs produced over 50,000 feet
of lumber. The flfteen mllo trip wa
mnde In a little more than eight hours,
with occaslonnl breathing spells for
the horses. In winter logs are alway
hauled on sleighs, which Is a muca
easier method of transportation than
by wagon. Inasmuch as the runners of
the sleighs do not sink Into tha
ground.

Beginning Insurance Early.
Consul Kelley reports from Rorre
that In many of the elementary schools
of Rome and of some other cities la
Italy a system of mutual benefit Insur
ance has been established among tha
pupils. Tho pupils pay small weekly
contributions lo tho general fund antf
In return receive certain payments in
rase of sickness, accident or death,
and at the same time lay the founda
tion for old age benefits.
While the plan Is stilt In its Infancy,
so far as Rome Is concerned, It baa
been adopted In many of the puhlla
schools of thi city, and this system
of Insurance appears to be growing
rapidly. Pupils are encouraged to conn
tlnue the Insurance until they ma
join an adult society.
