IN BUNGALOW STYLE
HOUSES TO BE BUILT AT CHEVY
CHASE, IN THE DISTRICT.

Something entirely new in the style of
building houses is to be carried out by
Thomas J. Fisher & Co. in the improve
ment of the firms newest addition to
Chevy Chase. The land is just south of
the Chevy Chase circle and hence lies
in the bounds of the District. 1t is on
the east side of Connecticut avenue, and
that thoroughfare forms the principal
approach to it.
Streets have been opened. sidewalks laid
and other Improvements made, and now
the firm proposes to begin the building
of houses a. M Schneider, architect
has been commissioned to prepare plans
for eight houses, all of which will be
in what is known as the bungalow style
one of the houses is to be built for John
NJ. Hoyt and another for a purchaser
whose name is not given, while the re-
mainder will be for sale. Each house is
to be located on f1fty-foot lot. and on
each side will be tWenty-f1ve-foot lot
so that. if it is desired, each of the new
homes can have about them the open
ness which can be secured by having
lots 100 feet wide.
While all the houses will be of this
general type. yet they will all differ as
to the material to be used. In some
cases a brick or stone foundation will
support frame upper part, while in
others the entire exterior will be COW
cred with shingles or finished in stucco.
The interiors will present an attractive
arrangement of living room, dining room,
kitchen and three bedrooms on the nam
floor and two or three sleeping rooms on
the upper floor.
Oak paneIed work and open beam cell
ings will characterize the finish of the
living room and the dining room.

MEAT EATING DECLINES.
Now Only About one-Third of the
National Dietary.

A capital of $40 500, O00,Oo is directly
concerned in the raising of meat animals
and their Strengthening and packing, &C
cording to a report on meat supply issued
by the Department of Agriculture. This
amount is fve-stxths as large as all capital
invested in manufacturing in 1904. Seven
eghths of the meat and meat products
was consumed within this country The
stock of meat animals has increased since
1910, but has not kept pace with the in
crease in the population. The report as
serts that the welfare of the raisers of
meat products and of the slaughtererS and
packers is dependent upon finding foreign
markets for the surplus of the production
Of meat above the home consumption.
There was total Of 90, JO2, 900 meat ami
mails slaughtered and exported in 1900 of
which the exported live animals numbered
276, 900.
The dressed weight of the 90, 500. 900 meat
animals constituting the meat supply of
1900 was 1913, 921 900 pounds, of which
II, 116 SS6,O0G pounds entered into domestic
consumption. lard being included with the
dressed weight of pork.
The report adds:
THAT meat consumption per capita has
declined in this country since 1910 is plain
ly indicated. There Is some ground for
believing that at that time meat consti-
tuted about One-half of the national die
tary in terms of total nutritive units con-
Sumed whereas now 1t constitutes about
one third"
How important meat is in the diet of
different countries is shown in the fol-
lowing meat consumption per capita in
1904 in dressed weight: United States, 1sj
pounds; United Kingdom, III; Australia,
1853; New Zealand, 212: Cuba, 121; France,
10; Belgium, 20; Denmark, rs; Sweden,
g.: Italy, 46.

PROVES TO BE A SUCCESS.
Revenue Cutter Vessels to Be Pro
vided With Wireless Equipment.

l..
The successful operation of the wireless
telegraph outfit aboard the United States
revenue cutter Algonquin has brought
about what the officers of the service
have been after for a year or more, the
lifting out Of all the larger ships of the
service with wireless equipment. Orde RS
have been issued from the Treasury De-
partment for the installation of the
plants on all firstr class ships of the serv-
ice. 1t is understood that the wireless
will be placed on the Mohawk, Seminole
and on the Manning and McCulloch on
the Pacific coast.
Several systems will be tested and the
one proving the most effective will be
adopted, and Congress will be asked to
extend the service to the other vessels.
The Algonquin is the only vessel at pres
ent with a wireless outfit aboard. Capt
Worth q. Ross, chief of the revenue cut
ter service, is aboard inspecting q fleet of
revenue cutters on Chesapeake bay. Sew
eral wireless messages from the ship were
received at the revenue cutter service
bureau in the Treasury Department yes
terday.
On several occasions revenue vessels
have been dispatched from port to search
for a missing vessel with orders to cruise
in certain territory for a week or longer
II necessary The missing vessel was To-
Gated by one of the ships in a shorter time
but the officials We're unable to communi-
cate with the other ships to call them
home, and they cruised for several days
unnecessarily. With the wireless aboa I'd

them to keep In touch with each other
and to be notified when to return to port
