"A country, from mere ex-
istence between brick walls
to the freedom and sunshine of the
suburbs-each year Washington's
colony of suburbanites increases
until now it has become a veritable
army of commuters.
From 6 TO 10 in the morning in
coming trains are laden with this
vast throng, who have business in
terests in Washington but prefer to
live in the open of the country. Out
side OF the District there are 5000
people who come to Washington
daily to attend to business. Added
TO this are 1000 suburbanites who
live outside the city limits, but with
in the bounds of the District, max
ing total of 5000.
Then, too, Baltimore is In a sense
a suburb of Washington. and the
Monumental City adds daily 800 20
the business population of the Ma
tons Capital. Those, however, who
live In Baltimore are not Washing
tonians who haze gone thero to
seek a residence. In every conception
of the word they are Baltimoreans,
who have obtained positions here, In
the Government and otherwise, who
are 10th to give up their home ties.
True IT is that in Baltimore rent is
cheaper, provisions, clothing, etc,
can be obtained for less. The DIFF
ference is about Is per cent less than
In Washington. and people who live
in this manner say that this about
balances the S15.4G monthly commu-
tation where a man has q family to
provide for.

in Washington. In these places
there are building restrictions that
must be adhered to. and lots alone
cost from 81 900 up to $4,000.
These. OF course, are not truly the
suburbs. They are not the homes of
the workers as are the little towns
OF Maryland and Virginia. In these
places is the real boom OF sub
urban realty. Here the real growth
OF the colori.s Is asserting Itself. the

But, assert the Baltimoreans. econ
omy is not the prime factor for liv-
ing in Maryland. There is a loyalty
that all true Baltimoreans have tS-
their native city that is akin to the
loyalty Virginians hold for the Old
Dominion, ana more than ordinary
inducements are necessary for them
to give up the city of their birth.
Alexandria is the largest gen
uine" suburb of Washington. but
Alexandria does NOT take kindly to
being called a suburb. The people
there tell you that Alexandria was
a city when Washington was in It's
infancy, that it has been ever since
and is today a city in itself, separate
and distinct from the National Cant
tai. Yet Alexandria's contribution

tween six AMI seven hundred. Many
of the employees of the general offices
of the Southern railway live in the
Virginia city, and as the cost of liv-
ing there is somewhat less than here.
and the railroad company furnishes
them transportation gratis, the saw
ing is considerable Also many Gov
eminent clerks make their home
across the Potomac. and their
monthly tribute TO either the rail
road company or the electric line is
S4.05, or s4S.6O a year.
All the way from Alexandria to
Washington there are small towns
or settlements on the Washington.

these communities are nearly all
Government clerks, or employed by
local business firms.

IN MOUTHPIECE
OF ALL TELEPHONES.
Doctors Are Making An Investiga-
tiOn as to the Results Spread
Of COntagion Made Possible.

A number of the local doctors are
making tests OF the mouth pieces of
the public telephones. A phone is
used on the average of one hundred
times a day by the general public and
the chances of contagion are numer-
Gus. A c~onsumptive using n might
easily innOculate the receiver with
tuberculosis germs and the next per-
son using the device might contract
a disease from the same.
b. F. Gobrich, a Chicago bacteriol-
ogist, issued a warning yesterday in
regard to. the danger from bacilli in
the mouthpieces of telephones, par
ticularly in public places. #
Influenza, pneumonia, diphtheria
and tuberculosis, according to Mr..
Gobrich, Turk in the Instruments.
Tests were made by him on coatings
from the m~outhpieces OF s~eyenty-five
different telephones and many diff
ferent species of bacteria were
found. One telephone contained tu-
berculosis germs.
Mr.. Gobrich urges that the health
department of all cities compel the
telephone companies to equip their
instruments with antiseptic devices
which will destroy all germs as they
enter the transmitter.
If as a result of the tests, germs
r found by the local physicians,
the board of health will probably no.
tify the company TO disinfect all their
telephones. This city is freer from
disease than many of the larger cit
les and the chances are that few
phones will be found that will show
evidence of contagious bacilli. A
good preventive is being distributed
by the NEWS. This consists of a
piece of oiled paper, which is anti
septic, and a small cardboard frame
which fits over the mouthpiece.
These can be changed after
being used a certain time.
