Miss Ruth Harper Is the guest of
Miss Maud Begg for the fair week.

The ladies in charge OF the W. G.
T. U. refreshment tent at the fair for
the week are Mesdames Fordney, A.
p. McAdam, Tatton, Frank Williams,
Edwards, and A. L. Woods. These
ladies are rather handicapped by loca-
ton not being on the main road and
will not. We are afraid, do so we'll.
They serve excellent home cooked food
though, and it will be we'll to remem-
Der they are there near the main
building.
The ladies for the, week. in charge
of the Y. w. G. A. refreshment tent
are Mesdames Benner, f. w. Wilder,
Miss Abbott, Mesdames s. Clark, Fred
Fales, O,Neill, E. ]. Lander, Hough-
ton and Miss Dora Gladen. They have
an attractive tent, tables prettily
decorated with sweet peas and serve
an excellent lunch. They have been
more prosperous really than any of
the eating booths so far. Their re-
ceipts have been very good.
An exhibit worth noticing in the
women's department among the eat
ables is dish of mammoth gooseber.
ries. They were brought in by Mrs.
G. 8. Darling of Riverside Park. Each
gooseberry is at least the size of
large hickory nut.
The flower exhibit is beautiful, es-
pecially the sweet peas. Among the
exhibitors are Mrs. c. l.. GRADER. D.
w. Luke, George Wheeler, H. Gibbs.
Cav, Boese and Hermann Wolf.
An interesting group on the fair
grounds is the Pelissier family with
the P. Pelissier Wild West show. They
are rather different class from what
one usually comes in contact with in
shows of this sort and put up good
clean show. The Pelissiers come from
Jamestown, but for years lived near
the Bad Lands. The show business is
rather a new venture. Ranching has
been the business of the head of the
house heretofore. The family consists
of the father and mother, two daugh-
tiers and one son. The daughters are
daring riders and have spent most of
their lives in the saddle, notwithstand-
ing this though, they are being care
fully reared by their parents. and are
being educated at Jamestown. Only
two months Of the year are they al
lowed out with their parents in the
show business but during that time
enjoy with great gusto taking part in
the performances which they do CIV
ing exhibitions of horse maneuvering
in the quadrille and marches, en-
trance, exit, etc. Both are comely,
healthy looking young ladies', refined
and show the good training of careful
parents. Mrs. Pelissier, the mother,

husbands trousers and neat piece Of
darning it looked. too. She seemed
with her husband and children to en-
joy the outing and life in the open
air. The son Morris Pelissier, is dar-
ing rider and takes part in all the
performances. He also like his sisters
is being carefully educated. Taking
the show as whole it is good one
with feats of daring riding. fancy
shooting and expert examples of the
performances incident to wild west
life. On exhibition. with the show are

PNEUMATIC MAIL TUBE TESTED
Live Chicken, Pots of Tea and Eggs
DISPATCHED in Safety.

! A full course dinner, a real chicken,
very much alive and frightened, three
smoking pots of tea and a dozen eggs
Were sent scooting through Uncle Sans
| mail via the pneumatic tube route In
Philadelphia by the federal officials to the
establishment of a score of distinguished
guests gathered in the central station at
the post office building Thursday. Thus
the pneumatic tube system connecting
the central station with station S, at 9th
and Paramount avenue and station O. at
10th and Columbia avenue, was opened.
The arrival of the squawking chicken,
much perturbed and ruffied by the light
ming ride, then the full meal of choice
pork chops, followed by the smoking tea
and eggs, all in perfect condition, at the
central station marked the turning over
of the tube system to the government Of
! ficials by its constructors, the Pneumatic
Transit Company.
The postal officials were determined to
put the tube lines to real test. They told
none of the guests assembled at the CEN
trail station of the remarkable inaugural
cargo that was to be blown through the
big tubes. With its legs tightly bound
and the sole living passenger, the chicken
was jammed into the transmitter at the
9th and Paramount avenue station. With
a 'poof" the compressed air hit the chick
Ell and the feathered passenger shot away
on its roundabout journey with a fare
well squawk. The chicken embarked via
the pneumatic route at o'clock.
The tubes speed Is about thirty miles
an hour.
The distance from the central Office to
station S is trifle over a mile, and the
distance from station o to station s is
close to mile and half.
The carrier resting at the entrance to
the transmitter is seven inches in diam
eter inside and twenty-four inches long
outside Usually 800 or 400 letters are
packed in carrier, which makes 1t pos
sible to transport 100000 letters per hour.
The exercises were presided over yes
terday by John E. Milholland, who rep
resented the Pneumatic Transit Com
pany. Superintendent of Railway Mail
Matter Victor t. Bradley received the
line in behalf of the government.

SENDING CONSERVATIVES AWAY.
Practice Opposed by Associated
Charities Committee

general effort is being made in various
cities, II is said, TO prevent the sending of
INDECENT ccnsumptives to distant commune
ties, where they cannot be assured proper
care. The Associated Charities COMMITTEES
ON the prevention of consumption discussed
the matter at its last meeting and decided
to issue letter to physicians and citizens
OF this city, calling attention to the conse-
quences arising from the practice of send
ing poor consumptives to such states as
Arizona, Colorado and California 1t is de-
clared that difficult as 1t may be for poor

than he has far from home, where he is
thrown entirely upon his own resources and
where the great number of consumptives

suitable nature, almost impossible

portance of the subject and the public
generally seems to be getting into q more
receptive frame of mind about the mat
ter. Some improvement may be noted all
along the line City after city shows at
least dawn of intelligence in the loca-
ton of it's own buildings. and the citizens
yield more gracefully to the rules set
down for their guidance in erecting pri-
vate buildings.
The nations capital has been studied by
a commission of architects and artists to
see to the artistic development of Wash
ington; Cleveland has a similar commits
sion that is doing splendid work: Chi
cago, Boston, st. Louis and other live
cities have similar commissions under
discussion. There was q time, and not so
many years ago. when city hail. library
or court house was planted down upon
the lot whose owners or exploiters had
the greatest political pull, regardless of
the accessibility, centralfty or the har-
monious blending of that building into
general scheme Today most of our inn
portant cities, at least, are adopting
something in the nature of a definite plan
of development as to their buildings and
in Connection with parks, streets and the
minor improvements.
Building Activity in January.
Building operations are upon a higher
level than ever before. The record month
by month last year was phenomenal, but
it was nothing like is expected this year If
the ISu LOT JduudTy are any iuOlCdtiOH
of what is to come During the month
just closed permits were taken out in thir-
ty-two of the leading cities of the coun-
try for the construction of 1923 buildings,
involving total cost of $37, S91 ,05s, against
5,166 buildings costing s25, 074, 661 for the
corresponding month year ago, an in
crease of 2,157 buildings and 81, sic, 1897 or
81 per cent.
Probably the most influential factor In
this enormous increase was the open win
ter. but upon the other hand there is not
SO much to do usually at this time of the
year. Owners and builders In most cities
cease operations during the extremely cold
months. say January and February, and
as rule their minds cease to work uppn
plans of this character. In some cities
owners and builders had plans prepared for
building and had laid them away expecting
to revive them with the opening of spring.
but there having been no cold weather
early in January they got out the plans
and began to excayate.
Condition of the Market.
The weather had something to do with
the increase, but there is far more DO
tent factor back of 1t, and II is the urgent
demand for buildings. This Is true In re-
gard to almost every city in the country.
Every industry Is teeming with life, the
absorption of raw materials was never upon
such great scale, while the demands upon
merchants are unprecedented This accounts
for manufacturing and mercantile con-
structiou. Labor has never before been
so constantly employed or so well paid AMI
this has Increased the demand for homes.
This Is not only true of January but
there IS every assurance that IL will con-
tinue for a long time to come. II the an
nouncement OF new projects continues il

is possible that the February increase will
surpass the high figure for January.
Two Colonial Houses.

Two Colonial Houses.
According to the designs made by Hard
ing and Upman, architects, two houses
that are being built at 1926 and 1928 Co
lumbia road will have side yards. They
are to be placed in the center of fifty
foot lot. Sufficient width is to be given to
the houses, and at the same time there is
to be side yard. UPON which windows can
be opened.
On this account the houses are to be con-
tinued throughout the entire depth of the
same width with four rooms on each floor.
except In the third floor, where there will
be three rooms. The interior will be
finished in white, with birch doors. The
exterior design will be colonial, with
porches extending across the front. Each
house will contain ten rooms.
Addition to Church.
The same architects have completed
plans for the erection of a Sunday school
room. to be attached to the church edifice
of the Rhode Island NJ. P. Church, at the
corner of LIST and Rhode Island avenue
northwest. The new part, which will be
similar In design to the main building, is
to have a frontage of forty feet by depth
of eighty feet, and is to be really an extern
sion of the auditorium of the church, from
which 1t is to be separated by sliding
partitions. There is to be a gallery pro-
vided in the new part, which will be divid-
ed into class rooms. The basement will be
a continuation of the one that is beneath
the main building, and will increase the
facilities of that room, which is used for
social purposes.
A Change to Business Uses.
The building at the southeast corner of
10th and streets, formerly known as the
Hotel Chan1berlin, is being remoledel
under the direction of Mr.. James Fl. Tay-
Tor. This structure is at the end Of the
row of houses that begins at that corner,
and which In former years was the home
of some of the prominent people of the
day. The changes in localities since then
has made its impression there. so that only
some of the houses are still in use for resi-
dence purposes
1t Is evident that the process is going on
still farther, and that this section is des-
tined in the near future to be given over
to business more generally than Is now the
case.

1t is admitted generally that the more
traffic there is on a dirt road the
worse it usually gets in winter and
spring. So we believe in commenc-
ing work at the centers and work out
gradually from the towns, at the
same time maintaining all the roads
and bridges in a passable condition.
There being probably 1900 to 1900
miles of roads in this district, and
petitions for new ones or changes in
old ones coming every month, it can
hardly be avoided that some places are
neglected or overlooked. This season
in particular it was difficult to get the
work started on account of the late
spring, which delayed farm work and
made it frequently difficult to get
teams. Harvest now coming on, a
man having a crop to look after, or
able to get better pay for his work
will generally drop the road work al
though it might not be complete"
