took up iinns in behalf of thojr eoun-1

myth of the Amazons was close to
realisation. The legend of the Amu
Eons was a favorite among Uie
Oreoks, who loved to weave stories of
the wonderful feats of these warlike
womeu.
According to the legend th"e Amn
ions, who were irre.-istible In war,
lived on the shores of tin lilnck sea.
The llrst Amazons were wr.meu whose
husbands had all been killed la war.
The widows decided that marriage
was a condition of servitude, and de

WASHINGTON', D. C, Feb. 8.
The great museum proposed by con
gressman Hicks as a memorial to
Colore! Roosevelt la the bill Intro
duced by him in the House of Rep
resentatives, January 29, Is designed
to be a museum of history and the
arts Illustrating the history nnd
genius of Americans two subjects
with which Mr. Roosevelt was vitally
concerned.
Washington, the nation's capital
and the focusing place for1 all
Amorlcan people, is the logical loca
tion for the memorial to this great
American.
Such a memorial, while as perma
nent as' bronze, would be a living
and enduring tribute that would
serve for all time C3 a real force in
the education of all classes of Americans.
It would contain the vast collec
tions alieudy In the National Mu
seum of relics and memantocs of Il
lustrious patriots of our country
and of the events consplclous In l;s
history. These concern not pnly cel
ebrated warriors and statesmen
and important military incidents, but
also scientists and Inventors and the
epoch-making discoveries and "in
ventions produced by their genius,
which have advanced the cause or
civilzatlon and added lustre to our
national fame.
The great collection relating to
ithe world war, .cow being gathered
would also be installed within its
walls.
It would house the National G.il
