barrels of it, was moved and stored in
the basement of the Capitol, and suisse
quentIy il was bought by the Govern
ment.
Then came the question of the best
way TO dispose of the flour. At last 1t
was decided TO start bakery in the
basement of the great building where
the nations laws are made. Enormous
brick ovens were built, the remains of
which are TO be seen today. At first 1t
was impossible to get bakers. It was
not task for women. and nearly all
the men capable of performing the work
were IN the army.
At this juncture some French, Ger
man. and Austrian bakers who had just
landed in this country came to the res
cue. They sent back 10 their own coun-
tries for more of their craftsmen, and
Uncle Sans bakery was put into active
operation.
Tons OF bread were sent out to the
Army of the Potomac and other forces
within a short distance of Washington
TO supplement the hard tack which was
the usual fare of the soldier. When
the military operations were extended
farther south some of the Capitol ba-
kers were detailed to follow the army
and supply the men with fresh bread.
At the close of the war it might have
been expected that the foreign bakers
would have found their occupations
gone. But the conflict proved the best
advertisement~they could have obtained.
The scattering soldiers praised their
bread from one end of the country to the
other, and when they set up shops of
their own they had no difficulty in OBJ

though the greatest number of germs are
found at the level of the street bed yet
there are a surprisingly large number AT
an altitude Of three feet-that is, in the
breathing zone of the average child.
The experiments from which Dr.
Woodbury. draws his conclusions were

of the city The plates were exposed be-
tween the hours of and 8 p. M. after
the usual morning and noon traffic had
passed over the pavements and condi-
tions were at their worst. They were
exposed at curb levels and also at three
and six feet above the level of the curb.
Numerous notes were taken TO determine
the nature of the paving; the amount of
traffic, and nature of the various locali-
ties-whether tenement, store or BUSH
ness houses, market or pushcart locaN-
ties.
Result Alarming.
The centers of streets were taken as
far as possible, so as to be removed
from the eddies formed at the inter
section of streets by passing traffic and
by other causes.
The result was, TO say the loas:.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1903-05-17

alarming In places where traffic was
heavy, where tenement houses abounded,
and which were infested by the push
cart vender. as many as $500 colonies
of germs appeared in fifteen minute
exposure. In another section, residen-
tial, where the avenue was well flushed,
there were found but fifty-four colonies

DR.. Woodberry found an average de-
post on his plates of eleven colonies per
square inch, per minute. In four push
cart vicinities there were found deposits
of 22.7 colonies per minute.

IT HOSE who were present at st.
Louis, in attendance upon the
dedicatory services that marked
the formal opening of the Louisiana
Purchase Fair. were impressed by many
things, among which was the enormous
size of the undertaking. Most people
went to st. Louis prepared for some
thing about SIS large as the Pan-Ameri-
can~Exhibition at Buffalo. or possibly
rather more extended, and they found,
much to their surprise, that even the
magnificent spectacle presented at Chi
eago ten years ago was to be surpassed.
Not only are the buildings larger and
even more beautiful than those at Chi
cago, but the scope and makeup of the
whole undertaking is on a higher plane
and much more logical in design and
more sequential In detail than anything
the world has ever seen. And this is
saying very great deal. I confess I

Progress in Ten Years.
But ten years is quite a period in
these high pressure days, and the first
thought that came to my mind as I be-
gan to study the situation at st. Louis
was that so many new and striking
changes had come TO pass since 1898,
such strides had been made in hundreds

end is at hand. Not only is this the
case with persons who have the con-.
sumption tendency, but 1t is also true
with those who have tendency, hered-
itary or otherwise. to diseases of anoth-
er, If less deadly, disease.
Danger of Typhoid.
The typhoid bacillus is also ever pres
ent, and, while according to medical au-
thorities, its installation does not cause
disease, yet it may easily be conveyed
TO articles, especially about the markets
and pushcarts, from whence in turn 1t
may be carried into the systems of per-
sons susceptible TO the disease through
the medium of food taken into the sys-
gions, where the inhabitants are often
of an unhealthy foreign parentage,
which condition is augmented by crowd
ed quarters and unhealthy food, is the
danger a menacing one.
The isolation of specific germs IS next
TO impossible. 1t is therefore basing
deductions on the general conditions Of
the air-that is, IN what degree OF
purity is it found and how do localities
compare in degree of purity. The first
point to be noted is that the air for the
first foot above the pavement is. as
would naturally be supposed, the most
dangerous. Secondly, the effect Of traf-
fc as a distributor of bacteria should
be noted in two ways. The vibrations
and disturbances caused by the passage
of a slow moving, heavy truck have the
effect of loosening the dust and street
dirt in the interstices of the pave
ment and on the surface. This is more
OF less true Of all traffic, but especially
so under the conditions mentioned.

so many different directions that it was
going to be much easier to surpass the
glory and grandeur of the Chicago exhi-
bition than I had ever dreamed Be-
sides that, the st. Louis managers have
more money by far than was at the

the presaic fact cannot be overlooked
that it is money that makes the mare

their incomplete plans TO bother them,
the people of St Louis met the emery

apparatus has the advantage of being
readily operated in three respects: Be
ing set on wheels, it is easily pulled
along by two men, whereas 1re-hose of
the same diameter is so heavy that it
requires several men to drag it along
the ground; the metal hose being in
short lengths, 1t can be turned so as TO
permit traffic to pass unimpeded; and
the lengths OF hose can be readily added
or removed to suit any length desired
for squares with longer or shorter dis
tances between hydrants.

where the flushing will be needed princi-
pally, a pressure more than double in
amount can be obtained. The apparatus
there used was 10 feet in length, and
readily handled by two men.

THE CAPITOL AS 4 BAKERY.

T. W persons who are fond of French
L Vienna bread are aware that these
varieties of the staff of life were in
troduced into this country through the
agency OF the United States Government.
Nevertheless, these kinds of bread were
baked for the first time here in large
quantities during the civil war and in
the basement of the Capitol building.
In the latter part of 1861 there were
decided rumors Of a Confederate attack
on Washington. It was reported that
the enemy would cross Aqueduct Bridge,
capture Georgetown, and march on to
the seat OF government. Although the
rumor was unfounded. il was believed
the mills of Georgetown were in danger.

q CLEANING STREETS BY THE WATERFLUSf1lNG METHOD
Disease Germs in Myriad
Numbers Float Above Even
the Cfeanest of City Thor
oughfares at Times, But
Science Has Found a Way
to Minimize the Dangers Of
Their Presence. :. :. :.

n YER the oleanest of city streets
float clouds of disease germs.
They are of course invisible to
the naked eye. but that they do so ex-
ist has been shown by photographs
taken on specially prepared plates. The
germs are densest next to the ground,
but there are multitudes at the height
Of three feet-the height of the average
child-and thousands at the height of
six feet. The motion of horses and
vehicles of all kinds. street cars, and
all traffic, stirs up the germs from the
brushes of the wheeled street sweepers
do almost as much harm in this way as
they do good. Though any numIer of
persons in the right degree of health
may pass through the gern-laden air
without experiencing the slightest harm,
yet one whose system is in condition
to receive them is liable to disease.
How, then, are the streets to be cleaned
of refuse without stirring up clouds Of
germs?
The Best Method.
Flushing them with water is without
doubt the best means. Till now this has
been done by sprinkling carts. but these,
while laying the dust for a short while
do not scatter the water with sufficient
force to carry the refuse into the gut
ters and float it off into the sewers.
Many of the streets of Washington ri.
be cleaned this summer, not by the old
method of the sprinkling cart. but by
a new method which has been adopted
only this week by this city AMI as yet
in use by very few others. The contract
for the summers work of fushino the
streets s..i bet awarded TO R. v Rusk
& Co. S. P. Bayly. of Rusk & Co., is
