"The increase in the uumber of money

Washington. D. C??? WNU Service.
RECENTLY u Jury In Wu*l?lngton,
I). C\, had to bo <iuartored
four In n room ill u hotel bocuuse
of the Inllux of visitors
to the nation's capital."" The Spring
lure of the city brings thousands of
travelers who sweUolhe ranks of the
normal transient population.
Washington always has been a popular
convention city. Indeed, conventions
here never cease. This or that
national group seems always In session.
The year around one sees crowds of
men and women wearing badges, carrying
banners, following hands, touring
the city in big husses which Haunt
streamers tolling who the pilgrims are
ami where they cuiue from.
In vacation time school children by
the hundreds of thousands Hock here
' from all over the Union, remindful of
that children's ciusudc of ancient days. <
They crowd the city's more than 70
hotels, its 000 eating places, and miles
of rooming houses. Some visitors bring
tents or come by automobile and roost
.011 the commons heslde the I'otymac,
known as the Tourist Camp grounds.
More than 500 national associations
have otfices here, representing every interest.
from the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States and the American
Federation of Labor to the Cnnners
and Dyers and Cleaners.
For lack of garage space, It is estimated
that 50,000 cars park In the
streets all night, every night.
Today private cars crowd the curb
like pigs fighting for nose room in a
trough. From every direction paved
roads radiate into Washington and
streams of traffic llow In from dawn to
dusk.
But huge motor travel Is nothing
compared with the crowds that come
by rail. All counted, at least Ave million
visitors a year see the capital.
And I0,950.t)00 travelers use the Union
station annually, more than three times
as many as all the whites In the United
States when the city was laid out.
National Museum Is Immense.
Nobody has seen everything in the
national museum. Nobody could. There
Is too much. To see Its 13,000,000 different
specimens?at the rate of one
thing a minute, working eight hours a
day?would take more than 74 years! (
This museum preserves all collec
tlons of objects In science, history, in- j
dustry, and art belonging to our gov- ]
ernment. It Is the storehouse for spe- J
cimens that range in size from the'tlnl
est of shells and insects to airplanes, 1
automobiles, and huge skeletons of fos- i
sil animals: The whole has been valued
at more than $120,000,000. Because
of its host of odd objects that 1
are the only ones of their kind in ex- >
lstence, the collection could not be duplicated
at any price.
Because nobody could see all, only :
some of the most interesting things are
set out for public exhibition. These
Include fine examples of different kinds .
of animals, well-known historical ob- '
Ject8, pictures, weapons. Inventions, 1
vehicles, and series of specimens of va- I
rlous kinds that have interest and attraction.
Properly arranged and laholed,
each tells Its own story. This
exhibit is so .organized that visitors in
simply walking through the halls may
gain a concrete Impression of endless
subjects foreign to everyday life. Nearly
two million persons each year visit
the halls.
Natural History Exhibits. I
In the Natural History hall, the '
groups of large animals collected by I
the Roosevelt African expedition are '
the most popular exhibit. Lions, water !
buffalo, zebras, and others, arranged In !
llfelikf manner, with the vegetation of '
their native haunts ns background. '
show the types of mammals met on !
that historic hunt. Thousands of other
specimens, large and small, from
this same expedition repose In mothproof
storage cabinets In the museum
laboratories, where they are the basis i
of scientific research.
, In the fossil halls Is the skeleton of
a huge dinosaur, an extinct repflle of
the Cretaceous period, a specimen 82 \
feet long, and so arranged tint visitors
may walk beneath It, and so gain a I
clearer Idea of Its vast size. Such skel- i
etons are found embedded In stone, ? > 1
that the hones need to ho chiseled out 1
carefuliy by hand. With this great i
beast np|H>ar many other fossils of-hi
xarre and unusual type. Footprints j

and forms an exhibit highly attractive
to the uuiul8iiiutlKt. a line collection
of postage stamps is arranged in specially
designed cnfilnds.
One hall in the Arts and Industries
building shows man's use of power,
from its primitive beginnings. Here
are engines that the visitor may operate
electrically by pressing a button,
and so examine the operation of the
driving mechanism of an auto and other
machines. Textiles and their manufacture
form an absorbing show.
Historical Relics and Art.
And one sees, too, the original StarSpangled
Banner, historical relics of
Washington, Lincoln, and many other
great Americans. n collection ' of
swords, one of flrenrins, of woods, musical
Instruments, timepieces, typewrit
crs. ami curiosities so varied that any
vl-itor Is sure to tiit< 1 somewhere'some
thing to hold his interest.
? 1,1 "'c Natural History building |s
the nouyleiis of a national gallery of
art, for which a separate building Is
planned. It includes rare paintings by
old masters, as well as many of recognized
merit by modern artists; sculptures.
miniatures, ceramics, metal work,
and carved Ivories. This collection has
been ynlued at ten million dollars.
No wonder thousands of people a day
flock here! Yet they see so little?of
the whole. The hulk is guarded in laboratories.
In constant use for scientific
studies, there flows from here a
steady stream of new facts and Ideas
of scientific interest, most of which ultimately
have definite application to
the welfare of man.
Many forces make Washington a cultural
center of the nation. They flow
from the government Itself, concerned
as It Is with broad cultural problems
and developing within Its departments
educational resources of great value;
from the many scientific, Industrial',
and other associations located here;
from the work of the diplomatic missions,
and from five great universities.
Foreseeing all this, congress early
provided "that the facilities for research
and illustration In any governmental
collections now existing or hereafter
to be established In the city of
Washington for the promotion of
knowledge shall be accessible . . .
to the scientific Investigators and to
students of any Institution of higher
education now Incorporated . . ,
under the laws of congress."
Among the world's great storehouses
of knowledge Is the Library of Congress.
It has nearly five million books
and pamphlets, accumulated from the
ends of the earth, Including nearly every
book printed In America and the
most prised of foreign publications.
Thp most complete collection of Russian
and Chinese literature Is preserved
here.
Other libraries have become pre- '
eminent In special subjects, such as
those of the State department, the patent
office, the army medical museum,
the bureau of standards, the geological
survey, etc.
There are more thnn 200 libraries In 1
Washington, where students are always
welcome.
Center for Education.
American education finds a focal
point In the Interior department. Its
office of education gathers data from
all parts of the nation. Through experiment
and experience, it converts
Its Information Into aid and advice given
back to state, county, and municipal
school officers.
Think what It moans to students to
have access to the researches of the
American Council of education, the
National Academy of Sciences, the National
Research council, the National
Education association, the National
Congress of Parents and Teachers, the
National Geographic society, the Carnegie
institution of Washington, the
Carnegie Institution for the Advancement
of Peace, and many others.
On the stnfTs of the embassies and
legations are trained nnd obliging diplomats,
not only learned In the political
and economic backgrounds of their own
countries, hut reflecting the social and
artistic cultures of tjie nations which
they represent.
?QLaf.t. galleries besides the National,
there is the Corcoran, exhibiting the
work of prominent American artistsand
sculptors. It also h"U-cs the famous
Cln:k collection of old mooters
nnd other Items of European art. The
Freer gallery ?i*? illustrates this com
bination. with wirks of" James McNeil)
Whistler an#K>rlenrnl sculptures, paintings,
bronzes, ami Jades. There are
also In Washington private galleries
open to students of the arts.
' In such an atmosphere It Is natural
that teats of higher learning should
develop. Five universities now give
to Washington the largest proportional
student populatloiPof any city in the
. country.

Drink Plenty Of Water
Columbia. Jan. 2<?.? Drink water for
your health's sake! l)r. Isadore
Schuycr, professes of hygiene at the
I'liiversity or South Carolina, says
that most people drink too llttlo water
f<*>r the needs of their bodies. Seventy
per cent of the body weight and
'j.ti per cent ui the blood volume, coil- ;
sluts of water.
Water .is not only essential in a
general way, but it promotes the efficiency
of the kidneys, since ihey
must constantly be (lushed to perform
their function properly. The poisonous
wastes which enter the kidneys must
be diluted or these' organs will become
irritated by the uric acids.
Lack of water is a contributing
cause of constlpution. A good rule to
follow is to drink at least one or two
glasses of water on rising, one glass
between meals.
Water need not bo hot to be beneficial.
as is maintained by some faddists,
but the American habit of drinking
ice water with meals, or, even
worse, just before a ineal, is pernicious
and is prod v."Mve of great physiological
harm, Dctor Sehayer observes.
Largest Poisonous Snake
Columbia, Jan. 27.?In bulk the diamond-back
rattler is the largest poisonous
snake in the world. It contains
a length of eight feet and Is heavier
than an eighteen-foot cobra or a
fourteen-foot bushmaster, says John
A. Crawford, Instructor of physical
education for men at the University
of 8outh Carolina.
The bite of the rattler causes swell*,
ing and hemorrhage, whereas the
bushmauBter's venom causes a combination
of swelling, hemorrhage, and
neuro-toxic effect. The king cotpra
affects the nerves, especially those
around the heart.
An ordinary boot will protect
against the strike of the cobra, unless
the reptile bites above the leather,
because It has very short fixed
teeth In the front of the upper Jaw.
The bushmaster and < diamond-back
have long hinged fangs which will
penetrate canvas puttees, but which
are ineffective against well-made leather
boots.
The young of these snakes, in proportion
to size, are as deadly as their
parents.
