has sufficed to counterbalance the coun-
tryward rush and to maintain a demand
for downtown houses and apartments as
rapidly as they may be vacated by those
who succumb to the charms of nature 1t
has been confidently predicted by scores Of
close observers that this increase in the
growth of the National capital will con-
tinue without slackenlng. Before many
years have passed the subdivisions which
are at the present time separated only by
narrow tracts of land will be seen merg-
ing one with another and doing their part
to add to the attractiveneSs of the city
beautiful and to verify the predictions of
those present-day optimists who see in
Washington the promise of the greatest
capital in the world.
Connecticut Avenue Bridge.
One of the greatest boons to the far
northwest has been the construction of the
new Connecticut Avenue bridge, and that
beautiful structure when thrown open to
traffic late this summer is expected to carry
a swelling tide of humanity to the available
building sites on either side of the wide
thCroughfare which bisects all of the beau
tiful heights between the city proper and
the District line at Chevy Chase. Similarly
the great improvements to the east and
northeast of the city are proving the bases
OF attraction iUI scores upon scores OF
home builders. and the near future may see
d close race between the growing north
east anu the spreading NOEluWeSL DIS "
which shall first carry the city to the Dis
trict line until it overfows into the con-
fines of Maryland. One of the greatest
improvements in the northeast has been
the construction of the new powerhouse of
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company just beyond the Eastern branch
and the skilled mechanics and laborers who
will find employment there already
numbered among the homeseekers in Hill
brook, kenilworth, Benning Heights and
ether adjacent subdivisions
Building Improvements within the past
year have been especially active, and nearly
all real estate dealers who have interests
in the suburbs are reporting the brightest
prospects for the ensuing summer and au-
tunn seasons. In the northwest much cap
ital is being made of the beauties which
will undoubtedly surround the proposed
new cathedral for which plans were re-
Gently completed, and which is to be con-
structed in Cathedral Close. Undoubtedly
there will be many attractions IN the way
of landscape gardening in the immediate
surroundings of the cathedral, and those
who will live near enough to the site to
secure daily enjoyment or these advantages
may well be termed fortunate. To that end
all subdivisions which touch upon Cathedral
Close or its environs are praising this
added advantage of their lots, and it is
common report that far-sighted buyers are
not lacking. The new buildings OF the

Improving Connecticut Avenue.
Great improvements have been made in
Connecticut avenue in the last few months.
The worst grades have been cut down and
the hollows filled in so that now the drive
from the city Is a much easier one. Serv-
fee on the street cars running to Chevy
Chase out Connecticut avenue has also been
improved, making the suburb easily Access
sible to the city by trolley, carriage or
auto.
The distance of this suburb from the
city proper will insure it's character as
purely residential suburb for many years
to come. 1t will remain almost permanent
ly a community for the most select char
acter Its residents will enjoy indefinitely
all of the pleasures of country residence,
with none of it's drawbacks and with prac-
tically all Of the advantages to be gained
by city residence.
The trolley ride to Chevy Chase on a
summer evening is one of the most delight
full trips about Washington. Connecticut
avenue for miles is lined with honeysuckle
vines that with the refreshingly cool air in
contrast to that Of the heated city, make
the ride drive most enjoyable 1t would
almost be worth while to have home in
Chevy Chase for the sake of the ride
drive to and from 1t, if for no other reason.
Unusual Attractiveness.
Washington itself is so beautiful that only
a suburb of superlative beauty would ap-
peal to those who live in come to the
national capital. There Is so much here
trees, flowers, open spaces and vistas-that
there must be in any outlying section
usual attractiveness to cause more than
passing notice.

THE REFORMED CHURCH IN AMERICA.
The Church of Holland of which the Re-
formed Church in America is a lineal
descendant was fully organized, A. D. 1919
She soon became distinguished for learn
ing, soundness in the faith and practical
godliness. She not only maintained a close
correspondence with sister churches, but
often had the advantage of the presence of
their distinguished men, since Holland was
the common refuge of all the prosecuted be-
levers in Europe. Huguenots, Waldenses,
Covenanters and Purtans found a safe
asylum on her hospitable shores.
The Reformed Church in America (other-
wise called the Dutch Reformed church,
with which Trinity Church is in lenomina-
tional communion has for her chief
characteristics, jealousy for doctrnal
truth, insiStence upon an educated minis
try, strong attachment to her own views of
faith and order, aud large charity for all
others who hold to Jesus Christ the Head.
In the community of Christian Churches
she is well described by the terms-semi-
liturgical, non -prelatical.
The Liturgy begins to date from the Re-
formation Period, while the Ancient Creeds
the A postles,' the Nicene and the Athan-
asian (QuicunQue Vult) and some other
things are retained from the early Church.
The Collegiate Church of New York is
the oldest Church i'll the denomination and
| has the distinction of being the Oldest Pro-
testart Church in America having contin-
uous organization. II was fully organized
a. D. 1928 in New Amsterdam, now New
York, under the three orders OF the Re-
formed Church, with its ConsiStory of
Minister, Elders and Deacon. Jonas Mic
haeius was its first minister; upon its or
ganiZation Peter Minult, first Colonial Gov
ernoT, became one of the Elders. Its sue

In 1903 Rev. William Vaughan and family
came here from New York and bought what
was then the Huri farm in East Belfast
Mr.. Vaughan had served "A years in The
Collegiate Reformed Church of New York,
during which time the Knox Memorial
church was built, of which he was the pas
tor, and which is one of the most beautiful
and best fitted churches il New York city,
Ill health compelled a change of climate
and occupation, and good fortune brought
him and his family to Belfast, where they
have since been factors for good. Mr.
Vaughan was no sooner settled in his new
home than he began to plan for the building
of church of his faith, and in this am
bition he was ably seconded by his wife,
and soon had enlisted the cooperation of
the neighborhood. He gave the land-the
site of one of the first churches built in
Belfast-and ground was broken July 4,
1904 Work on the foundation was begun
in the summer of 1905, and the work has
continued since and up the present week.
The walls are of field rock set in cement
with square tower in front of the same
material, in which is the main entrance.
This is surmounted by belfry. The di-
mensions of the church are as follows: Au-
ditorium, 80 by 80 feet; Sunday school room,
80 by % feet; vestibule, 10 by 10 feet; libra,
ry, by feet kitchen, 8 by 10 feet There
is cellar under the whole building. There
are hard wood floors in all the rooms, the
walls are wainscotted, with rough plaster
above tinted light brown, and steel CELL
ings. This with the memorial windows
makes handsome interior. The pulpit is
of dark oak and the other furniture, in
cluding the pews. which were made by
Mathews Bros in this city, is in harmony.

LETTER TOF. l.. TOOTHAKER.
RalfaSt Maini


Dear Sir: Here's a tale with point to it..
Florida is the hardest state in the Union
for paint.
Gilmore & Davis Co., Tallahassee, Flori-
da, think they know what paint can do in
their climate; they've beer painting for 35
years. Devoe ten years; and they say De-
voc wears 10 years-their words are
"Buildngs we painted Devoe 10 years ago
are in good condition of paint to-day"
They also say lead and-oil wears only one
year there; Devoe ten years.
Ten years is a long lifetime for paint in
Florida; longer than 20 in Maine. We don't
dare say that either is true as a general
fact in those States; but there are such in
stances.
If we should call the cost of Devoe in
Florida half of the usual cost of paint, it
would be too much; we suppose it's about
one third; there is SO much trash there
the costliest paint is the worst, and the
worst is the costliest everywhere.
Yours truly,
SO F. W. DEvoE & Co.
F. S. Mason & Hall sell our paint.

BEST OF PROOF.
That Hyomei Will Cure All Forms of Ca.
tarrhal Diseases.

That Hyomei Will Cure All Forms of Ca
tarrhal Diseases.
Testimonials could be printed by the
thousands, many of them from Belfast and
nearby towns, that Hyome is an absolute
cure for all catarrhal troubles, but the best
proof of its unusual curative powers is the
guarantee that R. II. Moody gives with every
outfit that he sells, "MoRey back if Hy-
omei does not do all that is claimed for it,"
Hyomei is not secret remedy. Its for
mula is given freely to physicians who
want to know what they use when they pre-
scribe Hyomei. 1t is guaranteed under the
Pure Food and Drug Law by serial No.
1418.
BY breathing Hyomei, the healing medi-
cation goes directly to every nook and cor
ner of the air passages where the catarrhal
germs may lurk, and disinfects and heals.
To be convinced of this you have only to
give it trial, remembering that if it does
not cure, r. II. Moody will refund your
money.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
$1.OO, and in most cases is sufficient to cure
the disease, making it not only scientific
treatment but one that is highly economi-
cal. Get an outfit to-day from R. II. Moody
