H. MOSHER, Editor anil Manager ASK CONGRESS TO HELP HISTORIANS Raqoeat That Cenwfca Takers Broaden Dutiea. New York.--America must know more about Americans, historians assert. "In a resolution adopted by the American Historical association congress is asked to have census takers throw more light on family histories. Lack of information in census reports has been a stumbling block to important social studies, it is declared. The association urges that the fifteenth census record counties as well as the states in which native Americans were born, and the names of the local government units as well as the states or counties tn which foreigners were bom. In a close analysis of social elements, the historian must know these f&cts, it is explained. By the study of such figures he learns how many individuals migrate from their birthplaces, where they eventually settle, and how long they stop in intervening states. Much misapprehension about migration from one section of the country to the other may be cleared up by more complete figures. It is believed. The resolution has been Bent to the chairman of the committee on census of both houses of congress and to the National Research council. Broadening the scope of the census would, the historians say, greatly aid the new program of historical research for which an endowment of $1,000,000 Is being raised by a national committee headed by former Senator Albert J. Beveridge of Indiana and with headquarters at Columbia university. "Among the activities proposed," according to a statement by the association, "is a study of the problems arising in our society from immigration and the secondary stages of its development, the conditions produced by the division of our people Into great racial sections of the historical approach to the legal, economic and social conditions of the present "Such a study In the bands of competent men will have great significance In our intellectual life." NEW WING PLANNED FOR U. S. CAPITOL Classified Column FOR BALM Here's Anthology of Men Who Swallowed Live Fish New York.--Many a gullible mortal has swallowed a fish story, but how many have ever swallowed a live fish? Dr. W. E. Gudger, associate in ichthyology in the American Museum of Natural History, has published a collection of accounts, dating back to 1507, of live fishes lost in the food and air passages of man. In the coasts of France and Italy and in India and the Far East, says Doctor Gudger, fishermen are accustomed to take live fishes between their teeth, either to kill them by biting, or to hold them while the hands are used to free the hook or net. A fish so held, if it pricks the lips with its spine or makes a sudden wriggle, readily causes the man to open his mouth, Into which the fish is very likely to jump still farther. Most of the accounts show, continues Doctor Gudger, that the fishes most often lodge in the pharynx, where the spines, fins and gills make it impossible to pull them out without lacerating the throat. Death usually follows from suffocation unless an operation can be performed to open the trachea and remove the offender quickly. The consequences are somewhat less serious though not less unpleasant when a fish finds its way into the esophagus, according to Doctor Gudger's data. Building, Begun in 1783, to fciaTe Extension. Washington.--The capitol, as ft stands today, is a symbol of the nation's growth. It has passed through three major stages of expansion, and is yet to be completed through extension of the central part of the east front to give it better architectural balance with the present senate and house sections. This vast white monument, covering 153,118 square feet, embraces the first capitol of the United States, a modest, almost plain structure about 120 feet long and 100 feet wide, once large enough to accommodate the senate, the house, the Supreme court and the Library of Congress, but now too small for the court and its library. Funds were scarce when the young government set out In 1793 to build its capitol after a design by Dr. William Thornton, calling for a domed rotunda, a portico and two wings, so It was decided to erect first only the north wing. That was completed in 1800 and congress, the court and the library moved In. "The Oven," a temporary round brick structure, was put up the next year on the site of the house wing, the permanent structure of which was not finished until 1811, three years before both wings were burned by the British. After repairs had been made, work was begun on the rotunda, and the capitol visloned by Thornton was completed in 1827. It then proved adequate until shortly before the Civil war, when it became necessary to build the present senate and house extensions. Subsequently the library was given a building of Its own. and large office buildings were erected for senators and representatives. The library and the house office building are already overcrowded. When the senate moved Into its extension in 1850, the Supreme court acquired the .old senate chamber, and only recently have its members been willing to contemplate leaving that room where Webster, Clay, Calhoun, many of the great of the early republic, made history with words. A new site has been selected for a Supreme court building east of the capitol, near the Library ef Congress. Depicts Future Man as Bodily Ugly, Brainy Philadelphia.--"A bald-headed, toothless, chinless, thin-shouldered, spindlelegged individual." was the futuristic portrait of the average person of the next generation painted for the Philadelphia Physical Education association by James E. Rogers, director of the National Physical Education Service of New York city. But the man of the future, though he may have lost all claim to beauty, will be well equipped with brains, Mr. Rogers added. The one way to avoid having his futuristic sketch become a reality, the speaker added, was for the present generation to return to Its "natural heritage of climbing, swimming and running." He indicated that a school day lengthened to conform witj^ the present business day, to provide a more complete recreation program and foster "educational athletics as against spectator athletics," would be a welcome step In American educational methods. High Winds Paint Alaska Town With Salt of Sea Unca, Alaska.--This little fishing Tillage endured a salt bath when a raging tempest swept Bering sea and the Aleutian islands. Spray from the ocean was carried over the entire town and forced by the wind into every crevice and crack. Following the receding sea and de- >creasing wind the buildings presented a Queer appearance. Drifts of salt lay on roofs, network of salt hung on window panes and trees and shrubbery were glittering in the sun.

Big Airliner to Link Egypt, Central Africa London.--A big new triple screw air liner to use on a 1,200- mile Jungle airway from Khartoum through Central Africa to Klsmayu in the Kenya colony is g being designed in Leeds. This new empire airliner will be based on the successful Blackburn Rolls Royce flying boat built for the air ministry which proved to be the fastest in existence. Owing to the presence of lakes and swamps along the rente, it will be possible by using seaplanes to alight at almost any point Passengers may be picked «P an^Qset down at any "safe" spot along the line. 45 Days on Trail to Gel to Seat in Legislature Nome, Alaska. -- State legislators who complain of over-night travel to reach the capital, have only one forty-fifth the troubles of Thomas GafTney, representative-elect to the Alaska legislature.
