SOME THINGS THE
HAND SYMBOLIZES

Look where we will, we find the
hand IN time and history, working,
building, inventlng, bringing .civiliza-
ton out of barbarism. The hand sym
bolizes power and the excellence of
WORK. The mechanis' that, that min
lister -of elemental forces, the hand
that hews, saws, cuts, builds, is use
fuI in the world equally with the deli
cate hand that paints wild flower
or molds a Grecian urn, or the hand of
a statesmen that writes law. The
eye cannot say to the hand, 81 have no
need of thee Blessed be the hand.

work. From Helen Keller's "A Chat

INFORMATION SOUGHT.
Inquiry Regarding Fever Conditions at
Harper's Ferry.

Health Officer Woodward has written two
letters to the secretary of the West Vir-
ginia board of health, requesting specific
information relative to the typhoid fever
conditions in Harper's Ferry. This action
was prompted by the discovery that four
persons who have recently returned 70
Washington from Harpers Ferry have de-
veloped typhoid fever within the past few
days.
Up to noon today DR.. Woodward had re-
ceived no reply to his letters requesting in
formation from the secretary Of the West
Virginia board of health. 1t is feared that
in case there should be an epidemic of
typhoid fever in Harper's Ferry that there
is danger of its being communicated to this
city. for the reason that all the drainage
of the West Virginia city is into the PotO-
mac river.
Health Officer Woodward today requested
the Commissioners to pay the expenses of
DR.. w. c. Fowler, chief inspector of the de-
partment, on trip to Lincoln, Va, for the
purpose of inspecting a dairy at that place
which supplies milk for a number of Wash
fngton residents. 1t Is stated that two cases
OF typhoid fever have recently developed
on the dairy farm referred to.
AS soon as the typhoid cases on the dairy
farm were reported to the District health
Office the local authorities ordered that no
milk from that dairy be brought into the
District.
There are now 279 cases of typhoid in the
District, six new cases having been reported
today.

Grading of n Street Northeast Dis
continued Until Next Spring.
There will be no more work on the re-
duction of the grade of H street nor'h-
east within the line of the terminal project
until next spring. and that street at the
point mentioned will remain In its present
condition throughout the fall and winter.
This plan has been definitely decided upon
by the District officials and by the rail-
road engineers
Commissioner Biddle has approved and
the railroad engineers have agreed to
plan drawn up by Mr.. Charles Fernald, as
sistant District engineer, providing for the
construction of the side walls or the II
street subway during the coming winter,
and leaving the excavation OF the street
and the reduction of grade until next
spring.
The north side of H street has been ex-
cavated to depth of from six to hfteen
feet the sidewalks on both sides OF the
street are blocked for considerable MS
lance, and the roadway Is badly torn up
This condition will remain throughout the
fall and winter.
1t is stated that the railroad engineers ex-
pected to complete the excavation for the
H street subway by the end OF this fall.
but they have been delayed by numerous
causes, and 1t was considered Impossible
to complete the reduction OF grade before
the cold weather set In. Engineer Ferna.d
believed that it was inadvisable to further
tear up the roadway this fall. when 1t could
not be put in repair until after next spring.
1t is anticipated that the subway walls
will have been completed by next spring
and that the excavation of the street can
be finished within few months there
after. The street car tracks Will remain
where they are through the winter, and
when the excavating begins in the spring
they will be shifted to the north side OF
the roadway while the grade Of the south
side of the street is being lowered, thus
preventing the closing of the entire street
to traffic.
