PROSPERITY'S TOUCH FELT
Business Men Say That Local Trade
Is Picking Up.
Real Estate Men and Wholesale
Dealers Are the First to Feel
the Effects of Good Times,

Although permanently dependent upon a
tenure Of office, rather than upon the earn
ings Of laborers who are liable to loss Of
Position or reduction OF pay, Washington
business men already feel the effect Of the
renewal Of confidence consequent upon the
election of Mckinley.
Real estate brokers report an activity in
the market that has been entirely lacking
for II any day. There had been many sales
made during the summer that were coudi-
tional upon the success OF tbeRepublican
ticket. Most of these have been consum-
mated since the election.
Architects report an unusual demand
upon them for plans for buildings con-
templated. Loan brokers also feel the re-
suit In the Increased amount OF money seek
ing investment at rates OF interest slat
insure plenty of bidders
All Of the large manufacturers OF build
erS' supplies have joined in the benefit and
have started up ON the conditional orders
that had hung over as Contingency OF
the election.
1T is, of course, the wrong time Of the
year to expect any boom in our business"
said one large dealer yesterday, but In
the Increased Confidence with which orders
are given and taken, and the general buoy-
ancy and feeling OF relief, We already see
the result of the election
The wholesale -5ealers in hardware, the
furniture aud carpet men, and indeed all
large buyers and sellers in the city report
the same condition of affairs. Nearly all
Of them bad orders placed with manufac-
turing establishments for stock, and had
received orders from retail dealers in
their various lines, all dependent upon No
Kinley'S SUCCESS. All Of these ORDERS have
been closed and evcrywherc is heard eX-
presdons of satisfaction and assurance
THAT this is the beginning OF IN era Of pros
perity to Washington that will, on the
coming in of the next administration, de-
velop into ar actual boom.

The public anticipate Il treat in TIE
lecture OF Mr.. Edwin B. Hay, ON Rome
its Churches and Ruins" this evening at
the Lafayette Square opera House."
Great preparation has been made in an
artistic way to have the pictures the most
superb that have ever been presented, and
Mr.. B. P. Murray. the Illustrator, has
arrived from New York this week with
many OF the pictures which have been beau
tifully colured by the most eminent artists
in that profession. They show not only
Rome as it was, but as it is, with the
exterior and interior Of churches, and the
principal ruins that the excavations have
developed.
Besides this, the manner Of Mr.. Hay in
his descriptive delivery will in itself be
most enjoyable, and the many flowers OF
thought that he has culled from mythology,
ancient history, and bis experience in this
wonderful city, will combine to make the
lecture interesting throughout.
For those who wish to make trip to
Rome at q very limited price this viii be
the best opportunity ever afforded, as no
itinerary can be SO complete, no pictures
more natural, no lecturer quite as elo-
quent.
and no doubt Mr. Hay will be greeted by u
large and appreciative audience.

The League OF American Wheelmen
has taken up the cause of good roads,
and men who are accustomed to feel
the public pulse say that good roads
will soon be dominant issue in State
and National politics. What bicycle
riders are doing at present was done
by the horseless vehicle men OF Eng
land in 1881, when their agitation re-
suited in the appointment of q COM
mittee of the House of Commons ITO

proportion of tolls which ought to be
imposed upon coaches and other We
hicles propelled by steam or gas upon
turnpike roads"
1t was just about this time that
James Macadam. Road Surveyor, and
Thomas Telford, President OF the In
etitution of Civil Engineers, with their
adherents, were engaged in a contro-
versary regarding the relative merits
of "Macadam" and "Telford" roads.
Up to that time England's best roads
were the remains of the old Roman
roads, but Macadam and Telford be.
gan an era of road building, each az
ter his own kind, which brought Eng
lish roads to high state OF develop
ment and made those two engineers
famous as the origlnators of the two
systems which to-day bear their names.

Lord Mayors BaubleS.

The Lord Mayor OF London has

be had to provide the weapon for him.
self. Since 1920, says the Saturday
Review, it has been furnished by the
Chamberlain at the expense OF the
city. No doubt at first every citizen
who rose to be Alderman and finally
Mayor had and wore sword as part
of q gentleman's outfit. Ihe swords
a. present belonging to the corporation
are four IN number: the pearl sword
so called from the ornementation of
the sheath; the sword of State, which
is what we see held through the win
dow Of the glass coach when the Lord
Mayor is within; the Old Bailey
sword, which is placed over the seat of
the Judges at the Central Criminal
Court ssand, finally, the mourning
sword, covered with black velvet for
funerals or other special solemnities.
The pearl sword is not only magniti-
cent in the materials of which it and
its scabbard are made, but also beau
tlful work of art. 1t dates from about
1850, and is said by tradition to have
beer given to the city by Queen Eliza.

bo in existence. 1t was bequeathed
to the city by Sir John Allen in 1914,
and is of gold, with enameled Tudor
roses and knots and porticullis in
the center. In 1907 a Jewel, still
worn, was added as a pendant. 1t

When tt. roadway has been graded
and rolled and the drains have been
built the first layer vi broken stone is
put on the rolled surface of the earth
foundation. This layer is about six
inches deep, and consists of broken
stone, no piece too large to pass
through a ring of two and one'half
inches inside diameter.
When this layer is evenly spread
over the foundation the roller is again
brought into use, and the stone layer
is rolled until it is firm and compact.
The stone is sprinkled with water be.
fore the roller is passed over it, and
sometimes clean, sharp sand is aprln'
kled over the stone.
The second layer, thick enough to
bring the stone bed mp to ten inches,
is next spread on and rolled. and then
top layer of clean gravel or stone
clippings is put on and rolled. Care
is taken that the gravel shall not be
waterworn, with smooth, round cor
ners, for this is injurious to the road
way.
The Telford road differs materially
from the macadam, for it has foun-
dation of stones laid down singly, with

between the stones filed with smaller,

experience. It is not difficult to under
stand the reason for this when one
visits building equipped with steam.
heating apparatus of score or more
years ago. The temperature is scarce
ly even bearable, for with the steam
turned on the rooms become torrid |;
if it is turned of they become frigid,
and there seems to be no happy me-
dium. Added to this very vital objec-
ton, when the steam is first admitted
to the radiators, one might as well live
in boilershop. The humping and
changing is enoughto craze person Of
nervous susceptibilitiss.
In view of the splendid results that
are now obtained in steam-hesting, it
is needless to say that these faults are
not due to the system, but to the
ignorant application of it. Where
the heat cannot be properly and per-
fectlv regulated there has been no
scientific adjustment of heating sur.
face to the cubic dimensions of the
room. In many buildings that have
been equipped with the apparatus,
subsequent to their erection, there are
hundreds of feet of steam pipe ex.
posed, because it was impossible to
carry them from floor to floor and
from room to room within the walls.
The radiators themselves have suf-
ficient heating surface. while the steam
pipes are responsible for the. over heat
ing. The architect of to-day settles
this difficulty in his plans. If the
matter is left to him, steam-heating
becomes a delight to the householder,
as it gives sure and equable tempera.
ture in the utmost extreme weather,
and at minimum of cost for fuel.
The humping in the radiators,
which forms prime objection to the
system in the mind Of those who re-
member the experimental stage of
steam.heating, is entirely obviated by
the use of improved apparatus. 1t is
caused, of course, by the condensing
of steam in the radiators, and when
this water is properly conducted back
into the boiler the system is as noiseless
as hot air or hot water heating.
The accompanying design is for q
country villa in which the plans call
for simple and inexpensive steam
heating plant.
