Is response to a demand"
A New Section of 11fh Street

"A new SeCt1On Oh lltn street,
The residence Of the late Christian Schnei-
der, which was left by the grading of 18th
street above Florida avenue on the edge
Of a high embankment. has been removed.
This course became necessary, as the wash
ing away OF the embankment had exposed
the foundations, and the safety Of the house
was threatened. The structure was a large
ene and. owing to it's location on the brow
OF the hill, was one of the conspicuous fea-
lures of the landscape in that locality. 1t
was very substantially built, and the trus-
tees decided that, as the house must be
taken down they would make use of the
materials.
A subdivision Of the extensive grounds
north of the building, which extend nearly
to Roanoke street. has been made, and plans
for two three-story houses have been made
by Frank H. Jackson, architect, which will
be erected on two of the lots Of the subdi-
vision fronting on 11th street. The south
grounds. which adjoin those about Garfield
Hospital and which extend to Florida ave-
nue., have not been subdivided. The ma
terial for the exterior of the houses will be
entirely new. and the structures will be
heated by steam and finished in hardwood.
w. H. ChandIee's Residence.
An attractive house has been designed
by Robert Head, architect, for Mr.. w. H.
Chandlee. 1t is to be located in Chevy
Chase. and the general style has been
chosen to harmonize with the surroundings
of that purely suburban settlement The
treatment follows the simplicity of what
Is known as the colonial style of architec-
ture. This agrees very well with the gen.
eral character of the structure, which is
to be a small and unpretentious affair. The
two stories will be covered with a high
roof. and the long lines Of the building,
with but few breaks, will give an effect of
solidity which is often lacking in houses Of
this description.
A feature of the exterior will be the
abundance of wide, roomy porches, and on
one side section of porch will be un-
covered, so that when desired the Occu-
pants can enjoy sitting out in the open.
An Apartment House.
An apartment house Is to be erected by
Mrs. Caroline G. Caughey from plans pre-
pared by F. B. Pyle, architect at 1928 and
1925 L street northwest 1t Is to be five
stories in height, 5Ox1OO feet, and light
brick and terra Gotta will be the material
used In the front.

The Persistency Of Plague.

An editorial calls attention to the fact
that Hong Kong is now passing through a
severe recrudescence of plague. the seventh
definite outbreak within eight years Over
g thousand deaths are already reported
this year. and the disease Is only just at
tanning the maximum of its fatality. Ra-
cial immunity and racial incidence seem
to play no part in the onset of plague.

seem to have little to do with the spread
Of the disease; nor can public Sanitation
claim that 1t has done much to thwart
plague In its virulence or In it's spread.

The Demand for Houses.

In speaking recently of the additions be-
ing made to the number Of houses In the
District, Mr.. A. 7. Hensey of the B. H.
Warner Company said that in the one To-
cality alone of Washington Heights eighty
houses had been erected in the past three
years, through the agency Of that COM
pany. Another member of the company,
Mr.. Clarence B. Rheem who overheard
the statement, called attention to the fact
that the company had also been largely
instrumental in the building activity on
Columbia Heights.
In the opinion of Mr.. Hensey the i'm
proyements in progress in the various resi-
comment that too many houses are being
built. He thought that such a view was
not well grounded, for the reason that, to
his mind, the building that was being done
was merely to supply the demand.
1T should be remembered he added
that according to the census figures the
population of the District has increased
during the past two decades an average of
about 5000 per year. That means a yearly
addition of about one thousand families.
Homes must be supplied for these new
that good many houses can be erected in
the course of a season merely to meet the
current demand. The statistics show that
at no time In the history of the city have
and started as has been during the past
twelve months. Many of these buildings
have capacity equal to thirty-five or
forty houses of average size. so that when
the accommodations of this character are
added to those provided by separate houses
1t will be recognized that the supply is not
greater than the demand.
Another interesting phase of the present
conditions, continued Mr.. Hensey 'is the
dwindling list of vacant houses 1t is the
experience OF all real estate men that there
are fewer houses for rent than has been
the case for years. and that too, in spite
of the fact that rentals have advanced
somewhat from the scale that prevailed
during the period Of financial depression.
With a growing demand for home accom-
modations. 1t Is quite evident that the
population Of the city Is growing, and,

A Substantial Residence.

While the building Is not entirely COM
pleted. and for that reason its effect can
not be fully determined, still 1t would ap-
pear that the first impression which the
structure will give will be that of size. 1t
may also be thought that the effectiveness
of the design, which Is colonial, is weak
ened by the great number of windows.
The house Is substantially built and the
material used forms an admirable color
scheme so that the edifice will be an ad-
dition to the notable specimens of domestic
architecture in this CITY,

kept right on doing the most remarka-

British Columbia once by his paper One
MORNING he was sitting at breakfast in
q little hotel when who should walk in
but city official who had robbed his
town of thousands of dollars The Do
lice Of all the CT ties on the continent had
been looking for him without avail and
here he stumbled right into the arms Of
this reporter. They recognized each other
and nodded. The official ate very mea-
ger breakfast. He hurried out of the
place ana the reporter let him so, but
he scHt lon.g story that night to his
paper telling where the missing official
had been that day
1T happened that this reporter decided
to leave the city in which he had made
his record. No one knew him in his new
place., and he Went to work just as any
other reporter would with his way to
make all over again. After about three
weeks service Oh all afternoon psNer he
was sent out of town TO investigate a
story in another part of the state He
took train that left in the evening with
out notifying his Office just which one it
was. The next morning there was q tip
from the man at police headquarters that
an express train had been held up by
robbers about a hundred miles from
town. There was a great lot of hCStling
among all the reporters the paper in
an erldeavOr to dig up the story from
local sources, for there was nc hope Of
getting it from the country correspond
ents until too late to use on that day It
was tough picking. because the railroad
and express people didn't know much of
what had happened and wouldn't tell all
they knew. The paper was in despair
When along came the first Of four-thou-
sand-word story from the man who had
left the night before. 1t was his train
that had been held up and he had the

greater part of his success came from

using the information for the benefit Of
himself and his paper."-New York Sun.
