Fashionable F street, known by all who
have ever visited Washington, and by
many who have never been here, has
changed its hour OF dress parade
The important part Of the day is now
one-half hour later than It was formerly
The change is due 10 the fact that the
employees Of the government departments

and F street, and all Washington had
learned to know that promptly at the ap-
pointed hour there would be a throng on

street has her dress parade every week
day in the year And the real display
never comes of until 40 o'clock. Not
that those who wear the fashionable
clothes and make the best showing work
for the government, but for the simple
reason that the ones who have the good
clothes want to show them, and they wait
until the late hour when the departments
have all been dismissed.
f street is Washington's fashionable
shopping avenue Here are the jewelry
stores. the dry goods departments. the
shoe shops. the confectionery stores, the
flower displays. and everything else one
can imagine that attracts the feminine
eve.
The smart rigs Of the Nations Capital
also are 20 be seen on r street every day,
summer and winter. Waiting in front OF
the various stores for their respective
mistresses, the coachmen arc scattered
from one block 10 another along the
street and they are most numerous
after 4.30 O'Clock in the afternoon.
Between 4.20 and > o'clock every day the
rich and the poor, the idle and the ind .s-
triCus rub elbows in their eagerness 10 get
a glimpse Of each other on F street Half
the world doesn't know how the other
half lives. but IL likes to see how the
other half acts on the street. and particu-
larry on T street
The hour OF dress parade has been
changed. The time is later than il used
20 be. the crowd is the same. the people
pace the walks just as long as Of old. the
tradesmen do just as much business. and
altogether every one has as good a time
as he did for years and years at I o'clock
every afternoon in the week.

1t Is said that the three processes have
given general satisfaction, but that the
tar Is the most efficacous of anything
heretofore tried.
For tarrng the product used Is
coal tar, cle product of gas works. 1t
Is black ard viscous and it's density
varies from Ito to 1.25. 1t can be ap-
piled hot or cold Its boiling point
varies between 20 and 50 degrees; and
thereafter it is impossible to raise ii
to a higher temperature. 1t IS spread
during a warm and dry period, with
watering pots. after the road has been
thoroughly cleaned. After spreading
the tar is gently brushed, and no traffic
is allowed upon it for at least twenty
four hours. The tar most preferable is
the product from gas made by carr
bureted water. /
The French government. after a four
years trial Of the tarring method, has,
obtained satisfactory results fully JUS
tifying the expense Of from 21a to g.
cents per square yard. The annual
economy on the wear and tear Is
found to be about 2 cents a square
yard, and for watering cent square
yard, so that the process of tarrfng is
of no expense, while its benefits are
evident.

CALL FOR NATIONAL ROAD.
An Appeal to Have Famous Highway
Rebuilt by the Government.

The National Good Roads assOcia-
ton, with headquarters in st. Louis,
has sent ont the following appeal to
motorists, says the New York Amer
lean:
The National Good Roads associa-
ton is a powerful force for good, and
its work is accomplishing results in all
parts of the United States. 1t is en-
gagged in many things that will benefit
the people. One of the great schemes
it has in mind and which it has set
about to accomplish is the repair nd
rebuilding of the great national road
across Maryland, Pennsylvania, West
Virginia, Ohio and Indiana.
THAT memorable road was intended
to be one OF the highways between the
east and the west before railroads were
known. 1t was built at great expense,
costing the federal government over
$7.O0OOCO. and during the early days
was famous highway over which
thousands Travelled every week. When
railroads came into existence the ma.
tiOnal road was neglected. and today 1t
is only a skeleton of what it once was.
ut is proposed to rebuild it, and the
National Good Roads association has
undertaken to have it done by the gov
crnment The length of the road is
about 7GO mies. and it can be rebuilt
for less than $1.0G0.O00. That Is about
the cost of one good battleshtp. and we
are building lots of them. The appro-
Dration of that sum to make this old
road across five states would do as
much good as the average battleshlp,
for not one such ship In ten will ever
get in 4 FIGHT. Then when the old road
has been put in good shape to the Mis-
sissippi river it may be that the price
of about three other battleships will be
set aside to build the road to the Pa.
cific coast.
zone first class continuous highway
across the continent would be a great
thing. Mary traveller would spend
two or three months going and coming
by team. bicycle automobile or other
wise. It would be easy for the nation
to do a thing like this.

many experts is Il tobacco which pro
duces scarlet flowers. Nicotiana sande-
rae. 1t is named for its introduccr, an
expert of England. The plant was orig

can tobacco plants. one of which had
white and the other red flowers The
result was Il flower varying from light
pink to the deepest red. Planted in the

at the time when it is most appreciated
by persons returning home after Il

The plants are grown easily from

method is to SOW the seed in shallow
