After a holiday of three weeks, you will find me at home again—ready to send you a word of cheer or sympathy as has been my custom for nearly four teen years of continuous service in the home column of the Semi-Weekly Jour nal. I bore the fatigue of travel and con tinuous sightseeing amazingly well— but I believe my physical strength was kept up by taking an afternoon nap every day—no matter where I happened to b^ On a Pullman sleeper, I could j easily accomplish the nap, and every ‘day, I made a regular business of going to my room in the various hotels and resting, and my sleep refreshed me greatly, and brightened my wits. * As I lack but two years of eighty, it j was a venturesome attempt to travel alone, for so long a period as here men tioned. but I was very careful in cross ing streets, always seeking a policeman’s aid if the crowd was great or thronged with passing vehicles. | I really had but one serious dread, and that was I feared I should be run over by the rapid automobiles that seem to be everywhere and in all crowded places, all the time. They were so nearly noise less, gliding over the streets, that were as level, as glass plates, that I found they were right at me before I glimpsed them. But you may be sure, a policeman’s whistle will check their speed! One wave of the policeman’s hand will slow down a whole street full of these horse-, less carriages. All along the parks you will see “Speed Limit” glaring from* sign posts, and these a«tos are some times forced down, to four miles an hour, when the joy riders are crazy to be going at forty miles, and are only afraid of a fine of they disobey such speed limit instructions. A blessed good thing it is for foot travelers’ that some body can call the crazy ones down and compel them to regard fhe rights of the old or the feeble, or the dependents. I was never too ambitious to refuse as sistance, and it was a wonder to me, that everybody was so willing to bear me company across the crowded streets of Washington and New York. I had been across the Staten Island ferry and had returned with immense boat loads of holiday seekers and when I reached the New York point again I asked a nice looking young man to point me to the subway entrance as I desired to go away up Manhattan Island—not far from Central park—so that I might see the marching military on Memorial day. Not only did the nice young man point the way, but he said “I will gladly go down with you to the subway cars.” He took* my arm, assisted me down the steps, and before I could see the place to buy my ticket (5 cents) he had bought it and said “my dear lady give me this- pleasure.” No grandson could have bee nicer to his own grandmother. I said, "i thust my, dear boy, somebody will be Very good to your own mother, you have been so nice to care for me.” He told me exactly how to find my way >out and also the nearest surface car, after I reached the open air. He made the entire trip pleasing to- me because it is just such lovely courtesies as do oil the rotigh places of our dally journey through life. L shall never see his face ag^ip,. bqt-Lr nwked his career- for-him, he will ever be , a self-respecting, well mannered gentleman, no matter where his station may allot him to work a*nd live. There is no surer test of manly char acter than politeness to the aged, and I had full measure and running over all the way- from my home until I got back last night very tired and much debili tated by the-hot weather, but very hap py that T had made my journey without the least accident or a single thing to mar my satisfaction. I have" a lot of things that I can reflect upon and stud* over when winter time shuts me in and must compel myself to avoid severe out doors cold weather. I am so thankful for God’s preserving mercies and for the dear friends I saw on rry trip and also the quiet old home, that is always open to receive the wanderer. CHIIiDREN’S MANNERS. The proper position at the table is to sit erect with the waist or chest just a few inches from the table. Dur ing the moments when not engaged in the act of eating allow the hands to lie quietly in the lap. They should never lounge or slip down in the chair. The hips should EXPERIENCE OF MOTHERHOOD Advice to Expectant Mothers The experience of Motherhood is a try ing one to most women and marks dis tinctly an epoch in their iives. Not one woman in a hundred is prepared or un derstands how to properly care for her self. Of course nearly every woman nowadays has medical treatment at such times, but many approach the experi ence with an organism unfitted for the trial of strength, and when it is over her system has received a shock from which it is hard to recover. Following right upon this comes the nervous strain of caring for the child, and a distinct change in the mother results. \ There is nothing more charming than a happy and healthy mother of children, and indeed child-birth under the right conditions need be no hazard to health or beauty. The unexplainable thing is that, with all the evidence of shattered nerves and broken health resulting from an unprepared condition, and with am ple time in which-to prepare, women -will persist in going blindly to the trial. Every woman at this time should rely upon Lydia E. Pinkh^m’s Vegetable Compound, a most valuable tonic and invigorator of the female organism. In many homes once childless there are now children be cause of the fact that Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound makes women normal, healthy and strong.

Tour letter will he opened, read and answered by a woman and held In strict confidence. touch the back of the chair near the seat’ and the body should bend from the hips. Never support the elbows on the table. It may be comfortable, but it is very ungraceful. Never play with knives, forks or spoons. Perfect repose as far as pos sible. 4 Teach the #oung to remain standing until the mother and sisters are seated. This custom should be strictly regarded. The proper place for the knife and I fork when not being used is to place them on tne plate, together, with the tips in the center and handles on the edge. The proper way to dip soup from the plate is away from them, instead of | toward them, and it should be taken from the side of the spoon, not from the end. Never tip the soup plate or cup to get the last drop. Never crumb crackers into the soup. Eat slowly always. ’Tis best for your digestion. Eat slowly for appear ances’ sake. Never allow children to spread a slice of bread and bite an<J cut it. Bread should be eaten by breaking of small pieces. Butter them just before placing them in the mouth. Teach them to peel and quarter ap ples or peaches and cut into mouthfuls. Asparagus should not be eaten with the fingers. When finished do not push a plate away nor toy with the crumbs. Allow children to enter into the conversation, but also teach them to be attentive listeners. Insist on th#co-operation of the chil dren in keeping the table neat and orderly. Teach them to appear at meal time— on time—with neat appearance and a smile. The dining room should be sun ny and bright, and children should be the same. Move chairs carefully and noiselessly, and let each one assume his share of responsibility of properly passing the food nearest him. Never allow them to sit down, eat the food hurriedly and leave the table before others are fin ished. If once they leave the table do not allow them to return at that meal. “Good morning*’ should welcome each as they come into the dining room, and, should it be necessary for one to leave the table, “Excusfe me.” Napkins should t>e unfolded and laid across the lap. Teach your children to try all kinds of foods. One may learn to like most any o fthem, and the saddest thing, to my notion, is a child whose table man ners have been neglected, as these are the test of culture.—Exchange. One Man hilibuster Holds Up All Work In Senate Chamber - (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, June 9.—Members or the senate, fearing that- the one-man filibuster Inaugurated by Senator Jones, of Washington, may delay the work of that branch of congress, labored with him today to abandon it. The Wash ington senator is filibustering in pro test against the refusal of the Demo cratic caucus to grant minority mem bers an additional clerk. He announced his Intention today to renew Jiis cam paign when the senate met Tuesday, Threats and cajolery appeared to have little influence on Senator Jones. He objected yesterday, wherever the constitution, the rules and the presid ing officer permitted, to the technical introduction of bills and resolutions and to the consideration of others. He resorted five times to the call for a quorum, and senators, busy with committee work or otherwise engaged, were forced to enter the chamber and record their presence. The members of the tariff subcommittee striving with all its might to finish the schedules assigned to it recessed again and again. Most of the senate is taking the fil ibuster philosophically although Major ity "Whip” Senator J. Hamilton Lewis is unhappy and overworked in his role of the dove of peace. COLLEGE MEN WED SOON AFTER GRADUATION President Judson, of Univer sity of Chicago, Testifies Be fore Vice Commission • (By Associated Press.) CHICAGO, June 9.—Most college graduates enter business and soon there after are financially able xo marry and most of the “sweet girl graduates wed, I am happy to say,” testified Harry Pratt Judson, president of the Universi ty of Chicago, before the Illinois sen ate commission inquiring into the rela tion of low wages to vice today. Volunteering that many of “our young men” work their way through college, Mr. Judson said school and college courses should be shortened so young men and women could be started on the serious business of life earlier. Asked whether he thought the law should provide a minimum wage for minimum efficiency, Mr. Judson replied that the efficient man could, earn more than the law could provide, that in dustrial training might be provided for the semi-efficierit. Men who are fitted for bank work are not the kind who would marry un less they could afford it, according to W. T. Abbott, vice president of the Central Trust company. He believed a man could marry on *$1,000 a year. He thought establishment of a minimum wag^ in a bank would destroy efficiency. A. W. Harris, the third witness and president of Northwestern university, said he believed it the duty of every community to see that the girl tnrown on her own resources was able to live respectably. Dr. Harris declared sons of rich men were not necessarily inefficient. Refer ring to sons of Chicago packers, he said he did not know one of them that was not the business equal or superior of his father. Dr. Harris said E. H. Harriman’s for tune of $100,000,000 “was not too much, compensation for a rare individual who made entire railroad systems more ef ficient and indirectly worked to the wel fare of hundreds of thousands of work ing men and women.” BRIDE DRINKS POISON AFTER FIRST QUARREL BRISTOL, Tenn., June 9.—Mrs. Os car Oliver, a bride of a 'few weeks, committed suicide yesterday afternoon as a result of despondency, following the first quarrel with her husband, which was at lunch. She drank poison and died in four hours. The husband is in a grave mental condition as a re sult of the tragedy. COMMERCIALIZING IBY BISHOP CONVULSIONS W. A. CANDLER O 0NE of the most diabolical mani festations of human depravity which has come to public view in our times, or in any times, is the ef fort of certain persons to commercialize international antagonisms for the pur pose of making money on military and naval supplies. * Recently during the debate in the German reichstag over the proposal to increase the German army to a peace footing of 900,000 men, one of the mem bers from Berlin boldly charged the Krupps with promoting international ir ritations and raising war scares by an elaborate system of bribery and adver tising. He declared that both French and. German newspapers, and subordi nate officials in the war offices, were in the pay of the manufacturers of ord nance and armor plate to bring about public excitement with reference to pos sible conflicts betw'een the two great powers of France and Germany. It was specifically stated that a man named Brandt, one of the paid agents of the Krupps, made it his business to get upon intimate terms with officials of both the war and navy departments, and used money to secure from them details from secret documents, regarding con struction, results of experiments, and prices on war materials quoted by other firms. Military and naval secrets, thus betrayed for money, were skilfully pub lished in certain subsidized jingo news papers at moments best suited to in fluence -warlike sentiments among the people, and move both governments to buy liberally military and naval sup plies. It was alleged that the late Baron Stumm, who made his great fortune out of the ordnance works at Dillingen, had perfect knowledge of these methods and approved the custom of the managers of the gun factory in subsidizing jingo sheets to advocate war and diverting ad vertising patronage to the columns of these Incendiary newspapers. While much which was said by this member of the reichstag from Berlin, may be over-statement, which ju dicious minds will discount considera bly, the Prussian minister of war has admitted the substantial correctness of most of the charges made. Upon the case the LONDON CHRONI CLE, one of the organs of the Liberal party in England, thus comments: “The heroic aspect of German military en-; deavour, the appeals to 1813, the cry for a great national display of self- sacrifice, are sadly tarnished by the rev elation of the great German gun and armor manufacturers spending money on patriotism just as other manufac turers spend It on advertizement and for the same ends.” The CHRONICLE makes much of the story of the pains taken by a German gun manufacturer to have printed in a Parisian newspaper an article stating that France was dmibling her supply 6* machine guns—the* object of the article beong not that the statement would be believed in ^France, but that it would be accepted for Its face value In Germany, and lead the German war office to make a large purchase of the gun maker’s machine guns in order to offset the al leged increase of French ordnance. The CHRONICLE goes on to affirm that the Krupps have sold armor plate to the United States for $100 a ton less than they were paid by Germany for similar plate. So we understand that the Krupps are trading with our government also, which may explain the recent theft of certain secret papers from the govern- metn offices in Washington. It may ex plain also much of the war-talk which is finding its wg^-^o the public ear through certain newspapers in both Ja pan and our own country. The PHILADELPHIA RECORD said recently in an editorial: “It is not un likely that there is a connection be tween war talk and dividends. It has been proved in Germany, and we have manufacturers of war material who may be capabel of stirring up public feeling with a view to make their business more active. Of course they would not pre cipitate war; they would not cause men to be killed or mangled; but it is just possible that they would like to have enough war feeling aroused to lead the government to make large purchases of military and naval supplies. There is no excuse whatever for any war talk. Japan may have a permanent grievance against this country, but she will wait till she has several more before she re sorts to force. She beat Russia, but she is still suffering from her victory. The California land law is not in its nature a cause of war, though of course it is a cause of friction.” Can anything be more despicable than an effort to make money by creat ing distrust and friction among na tions? It may be that these gun makers and steel-plate manufacturers do not desire that actual war shall be brought to pass; but they take the risk of bring ing on war when they play upon the sensibilities of nations already suspi cious of each other. The Japanese states men, for example, would not willingly declare war against the United States; but newspaper publications in Japan might arouse that excitable people, just emerging from the ignorance and isola tion of centuries, to demand of their leaders war. Issuing such publications in France and Germany is like striking lucifer matches in a powder house; no explo sion may occur from such reckless acts, but the chances are all the other way. Wars have been caused by acts less definitely directed to the purpose of fir ing national antipathies. And what does war involve? The death of thousands of men, the or phanage of children and the widowhood of women, moral disorder, international hatreds and the arrest of the march of civilization for long periods. For men to bring on wars, that they may get gains from selling ordnances and army plate, is nothing short of a dia bolical crime. ^ It is to play the part of international incendiaries. In the distant past kings made war for trilling causes to gratify pride and ambition; bu^ that sort of barbarism has been considered impossible in this enlightened age. But if certain manu facturers of army and navy supplies can with impunity incite war-like con ditions in order to make money, the . case of the present time is worse than that of the past. Better a thousand times to fight at the bidding of kings than to go to war to gratify the greed of these base worshipers of mammon. What element of moral turpitude is absent from tlreir methods? Their deeds partake of the moral ‘essence of both arson and murder. If one fires his neighbor’s house, he is guilty of arsotf, and may be punished with death. What less penalty should i be annexed to the crime of him who j seeks to bring to pass international conflagrations? If a man murders another for pur poses of robbery, capital punishment is the penalty for his offense. But what shall we say that he deserves who for the ends of greed incites great nations to engage In wars by which thousands are slain in battle? Is thegallows, or the electric chair worse than he de serves? * And what shall we say of newspa pers, the columns of which are bought tv serve the diabolical purposes of In ternational incendiarism? There are politicians also who par ticipate in ‘this diabolism. These arv they who play upon the passions anu prejudices of the populace in order to win office. Some of the Califvrnia newspapers say Governor Hiram John son and the California legislature have been “playing politics” of this sort in the land law which has so irritated the Japanese. Whatever may be re quired in the future, there seems to be no urgent need for that piece vf leg islation just now. except to secure the votes of certain anti-Asiatic organiza tions in San Francisco and a few other places. We may look for anti-Japanese agi tators to appear in the region of the republic east of the Rocky Mountains, and some will bo heard screaming BISHOP WARREN A. CANDLES. alarming war cries right here in the south. It behooves our people t^- pay no attention to such alarmists. It their relation to the steel manufactur ers of the country were thoroughly ex posed to view, their motive for de manding more battle ships would be apparent, doubtless. With these incendiary forces infest ing the great nations of the world, it well becomes sensible and patriotic people to cultivate a spirit of calm ness and self-control wl*en bellicose utterances are published In certain newspapers. We should not fall into spasms of excitement at the bidding ot men who are engaged in the business of commercializing convulsions. And we should be especially calm when publications of an inflammatory sort are made concerning affairs in Mexico. No friend nor loyal son or our own country will contribute a word to embroil our republic with the republic south of us. Intervention should not be thought of. Our gov ernment should seek by all means to promate peace in the earth, especially in North and South America. THE EVENING STORY l (Copyright. 1913, by W. Werner.)

Eleanor Lo.ton, .was walking slowly from the car to her rooming house four blocks distant, when the peddler, with his pushcart, came by, and he called his wares in low,, singsong, yet appeal ing, Italian. It ha# been a warm day and. Mies Loton, cooped since early morning in a booltkeeper’s close iron booth in the rear of a close, murky store, was too tired to think. But the baskets of juicy black cherries in the cart looked strangely pleasant. They reminded her of a long time past, when she wasn’t a tired; disgruntled old maid, working to pay the rent of a ding# bed room and three meals a day and save something toward the oid age that was closer each year. She bought a. basket absent-minded ly. Not that she wanted them. She was too tired to bfe hungry, and she made a move of. disgust when she put one in her mouth. They had been in the hot sun for. hours, and tasted stale. She set them on the window sill and lay down on- the b£d to rest an hour before going to Hhe c^fe around the corner for dinner, ^terwa-rd she forgot all about them until the next evening when she Came home, tired as usual. She was unpleasantly reminded then. The soft fruit had been a long time from the tree, and the juice had seeped through the frail w'ooden basket and trickled down the faded green wall pa per below the window sill. With an exclamation of vexation, Miss Loton put the basket on a news paper pad and then considered what she should do with the black cherries. She couldn’t eat them. It was impos sible to dispose of more than one layer. She smiled wistfully as she remem- ’Fraid to Risk Your Precious Bones.” bered that time so long ago and such a long way from the city when she had perched on a black limb, astrad dle like the boy on the limb above, and with careless ease managed to eat a peck in one afternoon. Or was it a bushel? She wondered where the boy was now. Married most likely—a tired old middle-aged man struggling some where to feed three or four children. But she shook that vision away. Ham ly had too much energy to be a tired struggler. Energy and nerve. She laughed and forgot how tired and warm she was. He always went scooting to the topmost, frailest limb. No other cherries tasted so good, he told her. “You’re a piker,” he flung down taunt- inly. “ ’Fraid to risk your precious bones.” But Eleanor calmly continued to be a “piker” and ate contentedly down be low. “They’re my bones,” she flung up. “Who’s going to feel the hurt except me if they break?” One day the inevitable happened. Hamly came crashing down from his perch, arms and legs flying, cherries popping. Eleanor had the bad luck to be directly underneath. Bang against her he came and slanted on through the lower limbs to the ground. And Eleanor, knocked sideways by the im pact of his flying form, came crashing after and hit the green grass beside him. He had a leg broken. Eleanor fractured an arm and sprained her ankle. Hamly grinned in his pain as they car ried him home. “You might as well have had the fun of climbing,” he taunted. “Got hurt anyway, Piker!*’ Soon after that Hamly’s folks had sold their small farm and moved away. Eleanor grew up. Her parents died and her married sisters and brothers did not need her. Anyway, she didn’t care to live around with them. She came to the city and worked, worked, worked, till she was tired and old. Miss Loton came to with a start. An hour had been spent in dreaming and , now the juice had soaked through the newspaper pad to the faded carpet. Her landlady would be furious. Yet th,e cherries were too good to throw out. Miss Loton had been reared to frugal habits. It seemed sinful to waste food that many people would be thankful for. When a timid rap sounded on the door and she opened it to the small, freckled daughter of her laundress, Miss Loton was delighted. “Wouldn’t your mother like a basket of cherries?” she asked ingratiatingly, as she took the big package of laun dered white waists. The small, freckled face glowed. “I guess she would,” she replied promptly. “Cherries like them cost a*lot!” So Miss Loton carefully wrapped them in several thicknesses, though the small girl seemed quite willing to risk the juice; then she pencilled a short note on one of her cards concerning next week’s laundry; and lest the small fingers lose it, slipped it into the basket. The next day the grind of ledger pages seemed more" monotonous than ever. Miss Loton wondered if life were really worth the living. She had chosen bookkeeping because it seemed a safe way of earning a living. Good bookkeepers, steady, reliable book keepers, are always in demand. The pay isn’t large, but it is tolerably sure. But it was so tedious. She wondered if a more precarious way wouldn’t have been more pleasant. But she laughed ruefully; she had always been so careful of her bones. She had al ways clung to the low, safe branches. Hamly—oh, doubtless Hamly had climbed. And doubtless he had fallen. But she was sure that he would jump up and be ready to climb again. And the woman he had married—for, of course, he had married—would enjoy Hamly. He was the kind to keep a woman happy. For one could always watch him climb, and know he wouldn’t mind the fall. It must be admitted that Miss Loton’s pen jabbed the ledger pages viciously that day. She hated ledger pages. She hated the gray threads that were appearing in her hair and that told too plainly of her thirty-two years. She bated the tired, worried lines about her eyes. “Worry?” she demanded In fierce self-scorn. “Why should I worry? Haven’t I got enough saved for a life membership in an old ladies’ home? I’m safe—I’ve been careful to stay on the lower limbs—” Rigidly she brought herself back to the monotony of the columns of figures and bent over the page. Ten minutes later she was interrupted by her em ployer, a nervous little man. Behind him came a tall, somewhat shabby man, whose gray eyes seemed familiar. Yet she couldn’t place him, and her em ployer started away without introduc ing him. Miss Loton looked up puz zled. Smiling, he fished a juice stained card from his coat pocket and handed it to her. Still puzzled, she took it. It was her own, the one she had slipped in with the cherries the night before. “My laundress was trying to make out your scribblings when I came in “I’ve got a chance to make a lot of money,” he asid. search of some belated shirts and had to assist her. You can’t write any bet ter than you can climb trees,” he told her calmly. “Say, I wonder if by any chance you bought those cherries in memory of the carloads we used to devour!" “Hamly!” cried Eleanor Loton. “It surely isn’t you?” “It surely is,” he vowed. “Shame on you! To give cherries away because your digestion is impaired. You didn’t THIS BUGGY *492? FROM US THIS BUGGY *75?? AT THE DEALER’S There you have it—take your choice.

STEPS Arrived From Olympia, Wash,, on Tour Which Will End in . California A unique visit was paid Governor Joseph M. Brown at the capital Thurs day morning when four bona fide west erners rode up the steps from the side walk on horseback, leaving their mounts at the foot of the main stairs to the building. In the party were J. B. ’ Ransome, Raymond Rayne. George W. Beck and C. C. Beck, all from the Circle '*5” ranch, in Olympia, Wash. The governor came out of his offie'e to greet the visitors and then posed with them at the capitol steps while The Journal photographer snapped them. The quaret brought a letter from Governor W. E. Hay, of Washington state, introducing them to the chief ex ecutives of every state in' the union whom they expevt to visit In their 20,000-mile trip over the United States in the saddle. Used to ^>e afraid of a stomach ache!” “No. But that was a good many years ago. I’m glad to see you, Hamly,” with more wistfulness in her tone than she was aware of. “How has the world treated you?” “You mean how have I treated the world, don’t you?” he said, with the same old impudence. It swept away the intervening years. Miss Loton for got that she was nearly old and nearly wrinkled. She laughed till the light came into her eyes and a flush into her oheek3 and the wrinkles were crinkles. He calmly told her employer that Miss Loton was going home early that day. “I’ll lose my position,” she cried in alarm under her breath. “You can easily get another,” he as sured her calmly. ‘ “Where’ll we go for dinner?” Over dinner, in a cool, palm shaded restaurant, she learned that Hamly had never married, but had made and lost money half a dozen times. “If I’d only had some one along to pin my coat tails to the lower branches, I think I could have saved some,” he told her earnestly. And then he took her breath away by coolly asking her to marry him and go to South America the next day. “I’ve got a chance to make a lot of money,” he said, with enthusi asm. “Of course, it’s only a chance. We may come a cropper. But I’ll, guarantee to have our fare back if we do. Will you? I want you, Eleanor. In all my life, I never have seen any one who was just the same as you. Will you take the chance?” In a second Eleanor tossed overboard the carefulness of a lifetime. For once she would risk. “Yes,” she said. “I will. I’m tired of sitting on the safe lower branches. I don’t care if we’re stranded and have to work our way back.” Mme, Jules Siegfried Says Militant Suffragettes Are Enemies to Cause PARIS, June 9.—Mme. Jules Sieg fried. wife of a former French 'cab inet minister and president of the French National Association of . Wom en, is strongly opposed to the ’tactics adopted by the militant suffragettes. In an interview published here to day she refers to the derby incident when Miss Emily Davison, threw her self in front of the king's horse “in the name of freedom for women." “Many of the delegates to the inter national congress of women, now in session in Paris, look upon such man ifestations with intense disapproval,'' says Mme Siegfried. “The militant suffragettes are behav ing as though they are Insane. Their dangerous demonstration hurt the cause of womankind. There are in England as well as in Frajice great number* of feminists who pursue their alms without employing boisterous expedi ents to attract attention. Such prac tices as those adonted by the militant suffragettes savor of charlatanism and turn our cause int,o ridicule. They are our enemies.” Lady Aberdeen, president of the In ternational Council of Women, said:. “We condemn without mercy these senseless acts. The aim of our efforts is that men and women should be equal. The realization of ideas of Mrs. Emmeline Pankhufrst would provoke a revolution of which women would be the sole victims.” Park May Extend hrom Washington Up to Baltimore WASHINGTON, June 9.—The estab lishment of a wide stretching park, un der federal control, extending from Washington to Baltimore, is to be press ed by leading citizens of the capital, amongAhem a present commissioner of the District of Columbia and his pre decessor. * The board of trade has appointed a committee which will today begin an investigation of the question. A general survey of the territory between the two cities will be made, options will be ob tained and a general idea obtained as to the cost of property by condemna tion. The project Is not a new one, but this is the first time that organized effort has been made to outline a gen eral plan. The park would be desig nated a federal forest reserve and be subject to federal regulations. The stretch between the two cities is a favor ite route for automobiljsts. iTifJsaSif• 1-T.ft .'V ■! i’ill iPiiiPI|||iPl|i™!i!J! , ilii;i!!i | ! | l|i | !ffl mm fife , «i 1 , ,||!|i;iii|t|" nr « life 5 Year Guarantee 98 cents To advertise our business, make new friends and Introduce onr great cat* loguo of Elgin watches we will send this elegant watch to any address by mail postpaid for Only OO cents.
