Thirteenth Street Extension Proposed
Under a Novel Scheme of
Development. --ss

A shortage in available building sites
in the suburbs OF washington. with the
consequent danger OF a monopoly in

Street. eg
Advocates Of the bill declare that I'M
less some action OF this sort is taken By
Congress in the near future free compc-
titlon between all sections Immediately
adjacent to the city will be a thing Of
tire past.
although such situation has been
viewed with alarm by home-seekers de-
siroCs OF locating near the leading car
lines. no remedy has been advanced
until Representative Pearre's bill was
prepared. For years there has been
no street extension in the section north
of Columbia Heights. beyond the pres

outlets to country property. This sec

gress.

1T is extremely dangerous for boys or
children who are growing. as It Is apt
to retard the development and thereby
stunt their growth for life 1t is also
shown that tobacco leaves an extreme
thirst in the mouth. which is often graf
flied by strong stimulants. or alcoholic
drinks. One of its most awful effects is
lowering scholarship, which 1t does al
most always.
Aside from the physical effects of
tobacco. IT is a very dirty habit. The
odor is almost unmistakabie and very
disagreeable. 1t Is also expensive and d
