a large force Of men has been put
to work on the property Of the United
States Realty Company between Eight
eenth and Fortieth and r and T streets
southeast preparatory TO placing this
portion Of Randle Highlands on the
market in the spring. They are now at
work between Thirtieth and Fortieth
streets, The development of this prop
erty is one Of the larEest real estate
projects in the history OF the District
the land owned 10y the company com
prising about onc-fortieth Of all the area
Of the District. Massachusetts avenue
and Pennsylvania avenue are the i'm
portant thCroughfares, traversing the
properly for a mile each.
Within tho last eighteen months the
company has built a large number OF
houses at Randle Highlands and secured
water and sewers in a number of the
streets. The company also owns a CON
trolling interest in the electric railroad
which is developing this section.
Col Arthur r. Randle, president Ct
the company, who had much to do with
the selection of the site Of the Union
Station to the east Of the Capitol, states
that its location on Massachusetts
avenue and its recent opening has given
interest in RandIe Highlands a decided
impetus. When the bridge across the
river ON Massachusetts avenue. for
which Congress has mad plans and est
mates made, is completed, IL will put
the property within a very short dis
lance Of the station.

Although special conditions of an un-
favorable nature have surrounded the
building industry i'm Washington dur
ing the last year. and operations have
fallen of considerably from the record
Of 1906. the curtailment IS much less
than that of many other cities Of the
country Washington shows a loss of
seventeen per cent in the operations for
1907 from those of 1906, while PhiladeI-
phia shows a loss of twenty-five Per
cent. and New York Of twenty-nlne per
cent. according to official reports 10
Construction News. The cost of build
ing in this city for 1907 was Sl0166, 096.
as against 81, 273.2 in 1896.
Building operations in the principal
cities for 1907 show a decrease Of 10 per
cent in comparison with the preceding
year. Permits were taken out in forty
one cities in 1907 for 1896 buildings,
involving a total cost OF Sass. 224. $40,
against 121S52 buildings aEGregating in

the large increase in the number of
buildings showing a broader and more
general interest upon the part Of a
larger number of people and upon the
whole more satisfactory results to every
one engaged in the building industry.
The notable increases were in the
smaller cities Of the interior and on
the North Pacific coast. There were
gains in twenty cities and decreases in
eighteen The heaviest increases in the
cities in which there is any consid-
cradle volume of building for the year
were in Cincinnati, IL per cent; St Paul,
l.: Milwaukee. Il; indianapolis, J.;
Cleveland, -; while the showing in the
North Pacific coast cities IS remarkable
including Spokane, with a gain of a

COLOR SCHEME IN the ARMY

1t will be a little cooler for the Ameri-
can soldiers in the Philippines If an ex-
pertinent the War Department has or
dereu to be thoroughly tested proves 10
be q success. Orange-coIored underwear
and hat Innings are to be worn by oUo
soldiers in the islands during the next
year and observations made with view
of ascertaining IL the theories evolved
from experiments in laboratories in wash
ington are applicable with corresponding
results in the field.
Experiments carried on under the di-
rection of Surgeon General Reilly and In
spector General Darlington revealed the
fact that plants under an orange-colored
glass grew less rapidly than those under
any other shade. and less than half as
fast as plants exposed to the direct rays
of the sun. Other tests showed that black
and red absorbed the rays of the sun and
thus increased the warmth Of persons
wearing clothing thus dyed. White, blue
and green disintegrated the rays white
dispensing them most effectively Oddly
enough, further experiments showed that
orange. although con; aiming some red,
practically prevented the passage Of the
rays of heat. 1t was then recalled that
it is the orange-colOred glass that the
photographer uses to exclude rays of
light from the dark room.
With the reports favoring the use of
orange-colored clothing, Quartermas:eD
General Aleshire has ordered 5000 suits
of underwear and hat Innings dyed in
orange color and shipped to the Philip.

ored underwear vii be issued to soldiers
for one year. during which time close

Fashion and Woman's Figure.

From the New York World.
A Chicago professor, denouncing the
present, styles of feminine clothes as
"frights," says that the ideal woman s
figure should be an oval
What have professors to do with the
matter? In the calendar Of fashion there
Is a time for curves and time for
angles. Just now straight lines are OBJ
ligatory. and all the laws OF Euclid can
not alter them. When the fancy for
crinolines returns, woman will assume
cylindrical proportions, and not all the
college faculties in christendom can pre-
vent her. On questions of female fashion
the ballot Is denied to man.
Tire theory that each generation in
herits the accumulated wisdom of its
predecessors is held in some quarters. It's
fallacy Is in no way better proved than by
the failure of man to profit by the ex-
perience Of his ancestors in their futile
attempts to regulate feminine attire.
Women as respects fashion occupy a
higher world" into which men are not
privileged to enter. When will the ruder
sex learn discretion and abstain from
criticism that merely reflects its helpless
ness to alter immutable conditions?
