PROPOSED AVENUE EXTENSION
THE COMMISSIONERS FURNISH
NORTHEAST CITIZENS PLATs.
Mutual Interest in Extending Rhode
Island Boulevard-Hopes for APP
priation Next Congress.

The Commissioners have furnished the
Northeastern Citizens Association with Of
fetal plats to be used by the members of
that body In securing the dedication Of
certain property in the northeast section
necessary for the proposed extension of
Rhode Island avenue to the District line
at uniform width of 1870 feet
At the last session of Congress. when
the District appropriation bill was being
considered in the Senate an item provid-
ing for an appropriation Of $1,000 and
authorizing this extension with the pro-
viso that the strips of land in the line of
the proposed extension owned by, private
parties be dedicated was inserted with
the approval of-the Commissioners. but
was eliminated during the conference on
the bill. Both the Commissioners and the
members of the citizens association in
terested are of the firm belief that the
necessary appropriation will be forthcom-
ing early during the next session.
For number of years the Commission
ers and citizens living in the northeast
have recognized the Importance of thus
extending Rhode Island avenue as a
means of improving that section, and they
feel that their labors with this object in
view are about completed, When Rhode
Island avenue is extended as proposed it
will be to the northeast section what
Connecticut avenue and, Columbia road
are to the northwest, the members of the
Northeastern Citizens Association say.
Extension Will Boom Property.
They also say that the extension will
mean the booming of prices in realty in
that densely populated section. Joseph E.
Goodkey. Edwin A. NJ. Lawson and VIII
ton Harvey formed a special committee
Of the association mentioned to advocate
this legislation at the last session of Con-
gress. and they have worked increasingly
for it's realization.
Preparatory to the passage of the bill
at the next session this committee will
be actively engaged in securing the dedi-
cation Of the property necessary for the
extension. They have informed the Com
missioners that If they cannot secure the
dedication they will prepare bill pro-
viding for the condemnation of the prop
erty.

WHEN TO WIND A WATCH.
British Watchmakers Decide Morn
ing Is the Best Time.

With the disappearance of the old.
time watch-key and the Introduction
OF the stem winder the methodical
care of the pocket-clo has become
almost lost art ANY close observ.
er OF humanity must have noticed
how frequently absent-minded men
draw forth and wind their watches
apparently not more than half-con-
scious of what they are doing Yet
both the accuracy and durability OF
watch depends to certain degree
on the time at which II Is wound. and
the vexed question as TO whether this
should be done at night or In the
morning was recently discussed at a
meeting OF the British Watch and
Clockmakers' guild. says the Phla-
delphia Record.
A member OF the guild said he was
often asked by his customers wheth-
or 1t was better to wind a watch at
night or in the morning. Several
members were of the opinion that 1t
was better to wind 1t at night, as in
the morning the handspring would
be colder than II would be after hav-
Ing been carried about in the pocket
all day, and 1t was a well-known
fact that steel was much more brittle
when 1t was cold than when 1t was
warm.
The vice president of the guild,
however, dissented from this opinion
He said that during the day time the
watch was carried about and SUBJ
jected to all kinds of irregular con-
ditions, and that when 1t was fully
wound IL was able to withstand these
abnormal conditions better than
when 1t required winding At night
the watch was usually laid On one
side in horizontal position and was
at rest as it were, therefore running
down did not affect 1t SO much. He
believed 1t, therefore. to be decid-
ed advantage to wind it up in the
morning. This view of the case was
accepted by q majority of the mem
beers of the trade present at the meet
Ing.

PATHETIC MARKET
Prevailed in Stocks Yesterday and
Drift in Prices Represented Only
Testing Operations.

New York, June 60 The stock
market was apathetic today and slug.
gish, the drift of prices representing
nothing more substantial than testing
operations of professionals. There
was little to indicate any notable
change in fundamental conditions.
The present firm undertone of the
market evidently is based on the con
victlon that Improvement lies ahead
and the poor showing of the present
conditions seems not to have much
effect in shaking this conviction
When, with the near approach of
semiannual disbursements of prob
ably $200,000.000 in New York, and
with a surplus of banking reserves in
New York banks which keeps inter.
est rates at level far below the rates
or return on we'll secured share and
bond issues, there is no symptom of
the seasonable reinyestment demand
in the New York market. Railroad
earnings reports show no sign of
promised Improvement in business.
the net earnings for May being poorer
than those for April, as April was
poorer than March
Estimates Of $6O.000009 deficit in
government revenues for the fiscal
year ending tomorrow point to the
necessity of early additional with
drawal of government deposits from
national banks. This prospect re.
ceiyes small attention, however, ia
view of the bulk of bank reserves. and
a wide margin Of unemployed funds |
held by banks. Some demand which |
advanced prices as the day progressed
