The Approach Of the Fall
Renting Season.
WHAT IT MAY BRING
QUESTION WHETHER THE SUPPLY
WILL BALANCE DEMAND.
Recent Large Deals, One in Business
District and the Other in
Residence Section.

Owing 20 the fac, that the sessions of
Congress bring to this city late each fall
many persons who spend only the cool sea-
son in these parts, Washingtons fall rent
ing season will not really reach Its height
as soon as that of most other cities. But
nevertheless there is evidence that things
have already begun to pick up in this d.
rection Not a few families of the national
capitol, who have been spending their va
cations away from here, have begun to
come back or to think of coming back. and
houses and apartments are consequently
coming into demand VIII this be a good
season for the renters or not? VIII the de-
mand for places to live be great enough to
advance prices. or will the new houses and
apartments that have been provided keep
the balance? These are questions which.
of course, can scarcely be answered at this
early date but they are most naturally
agitating the minds of the dealers as well
the great army of renters
To the class of people who are looking
for moderate priced homes to rent and to
live in for years at a time no better part Of
the city can be found than Capitol Hill
Dealers say that the demand for houses
ranging from $50 to $40 per month in rent
is enormous in this section. Houses of this
class are practically not to be had. Each
fall many employees of Congress seek houses
and over and over again they are dis
appointed There appears to be little change
in these conditions this year, for the
amount of building that has gone on in
this section is not very great.
Looking at the local real estate condi-
tons a whole, the local dealer is in
clined to be satisfied this fall, though. OF
course, he is not likely to tell any one so.
The population of the city is believed to be
steadily growing. and at any rate the in
tereSt in real estate is increasing rapidly.
The outlying districts are attracting more
and more attention. The extension of 14th
street northwest over Piney Branch and
the construction of a bridge over this
stream are pushing uo prices and are at
tracing the attention of investors and pros
pective home builders to this beautiful sec
ton.
Extension of 14th Street
Many charges in the face of the land are
being brought about by the extension Of
18th street. and the houses that are being
moved or torn down completely because
they are directly in the way of the new
street number more than one or two.
Some attention has been paid recently to
the Old Osborn farm, whose farm house
was until a few days ago directly in the
path of the street. This originally a
tract of over a hundred acres, and the

INFANT LABOR LAW
RESULTS OF GERMAN LEGISLA-
TON REGARDED UNFAVoRABLY
Children Prohibited From Work in
Factories Are Made to Work at
Home After School Hours.

Consul Muench of Plauen. Germany, re-
ferring to a former report on certain new
legislation in Germany tending to prohibit
infant labor and exploitation says that
sufficient test of the law has been had to
judge of its fruits, and that these are not
regarded very favorably. The consul says:
"A sufficient test of the new legislation
has been had to judge of its fruits, and
these are not spoken of in the most enthu-
siastic strain. Optmists had believed that
infant labor need only TO be forbidden to be
also prevented. That such has not been the
result in this instance is now frankly ad-
mitted by the German press. 1t is pointed
out that while the control of child employ
ment in factories. restaurants and all pub
lie Semi-public works presents compare
lively small difficulty, such control in case
of home work becomes well-nigh impOs-
sible.
TO be sure the inspectors, and other off,
Gals intruSted with the enforcement of this
law, have sought and received the hearty
cooperation of the school authorities in
their endeavor to locate cases of absence
and their cause; but hesitancy Is naturally
felt to practice a system of espionage upon
the movements of children in their own
dOmicie. and 1t is Opined that since the
home employment of the child and its con-
sequent withdrawal from the benefits of
scholastic instruction is generally caused
either by dire necessity or a wilful disre-
gard of the best interests of the child on
the part of the parent, close Inquiry into
the reasons for non-attendance Is more apt
to develop a species Of deception and pre-
varication on the part of both parent and
child than to evoke truthful statements of
the real causes of such absence 1t is
feared, also. that a systematic course of in
vestigation into the private home life of the
child would tend to shake that confidence
between scholar and teacher which is looked
upon element of value in pedagogy.

Suburban Property.

While considering this phase OF the stua-
ton recently Washington real estate man
was reminded of the increasing number OF
suburban homes being erected. and his at
tei:tion was fixed not for any particular
reason. perhaps. on the progress along the
Conduit road between here and CHAIN
bridge. He expressed the opinion that this
part of the city's suburbs viii some day RI
val the beautiful palisades OF the Hudson

gested that money might be made in IN
vestment there. If person is willing to
wait.
In this connection it was pointed out that

Its first church. an Episcopal mission. IS
now being erected, and soon there Is to be
a Catholic church also, according to we'll

also going to increase, it Is believed.
References has been made in this column
to the indica tons that investors are cast
in, their eyes more and more toward the
business section of Washington. Further
proof of this is said to be had in the recent
purchase of the valuable property at lt2-
+ street northwest for about 5000. ny

New Phase of Infant Labor.

SERIOUS doubt exists whether the benefits
under the new law have not been wholly
offset by its baleful consequences. While 1t
must be admitted that child labor in the
factories has become easily comfortable, it
is charged that the very exclusion of chill
dren from these plants has called into being
numerous other phases of infant labor.
Thus for instance, the industrial commits
sion at Danzig reports that the home work
ers engaged in doing piecework for a wood
enware factory employed not less than 4S9
children. aged from six to fourteen years,
at their homes at the work Of plating cane
for chair seats Out of 81 children attend
ing school, l3J. viz. II per cent. were set to
work after s O'Clock pm, nor did any of
them enjoy their freedom during the recess
of two hours at noon or of one hour In the
afternoon. Thus the inhibition against fac
tory work resulted to these unfortunates In
the opening up of a far more cruel and dele
FERROUS employment.
1T is strenuously urged. and with good
reason that in order to fully suppress this
evil 1t will first of all be requisite to remove
the temptation to this abuse by Offering OPP
portunity for parents TO keep their young
children at school and to do without the
earnings now exacted from them.
Help is also expected from further lesis-
lation in the direction of curtailing all such
home employment of immature children
Most of ALL though, ii is insisted that the
Inducements to parents toward keeping
their minor children at school during school
, age should be greatly increased, and that
not only the actually INDECENT. but the en-
tire working classes, should be accorded
free schooling for their children. The end
Of sociological legislation is not thought to
| be fully attained until 1t lights the way of
| childhood, as II even now Smooths the path
of old age. Thus ii will be noted that ele-
ments are ever active in this country maxi
| ing for a broadening and deepening OF the
national schemes for patriarchal care Of
| those not wholly able to take care Of them
selves and the day is evidently not far dis
tant when Germany will be able to boast of
a public school system almost as free as
: our own"

Valuable Residences.

This city, as a place for wealthy men
homes Is still holding its own. The recent
purchase of property az and near the cor
ner of New Hampshire avenue and = street
northwest by Col. George f. HUFF. repre-
sentative In Congress from Pennsylvania, Is
a fine indication of this. Col. HUFF paid at
the rate of about 81 80 a square foot Tor the
corner lot and last week added to this pur-
chase another on q street adjoining tne
first, lot T. square 13l, improved by house
and in the rear a stable. He bought the
last lot of Mr. Davidson, the real estate
dealer on G street northwest, for about

of a private residence by Col. Hun, VINO

street lot to give an entrance to his auto

lieved, will effect the whole north side OF
