PLANT is EXTENSIVE
LARGE ADDITION TO CHAPLIN
SACKS ESTABLISHMENT.

A large addition is to be made to the
ice and ice cream plant of the Chaplin
Sacks Manufacturing Company at list and
M streets northeast. The proposed build
ing. for which plans have been drawn,
will occupy a portion of the frontage on
NJ street owned by the company, the lat
ter comprising the entire eastern half of
the long square which is bounded by LIST
and North Capitol and NJ and Patterson
streets.
The new structure will be forty-eig hit
feet front, have q depth Of 10 feet, and
be located just to the west Of the present
plant. which occupies the LIST street front
with long stretches on NJ and Patterson
streets. It will be used exclusively. for
will leave more room for the plant for ice
making. In fact. the ice-making plant is
declared to be the biggest plate Ice con-
Germ in the country, and it has the great
est yearly output. The new building will
be an expansion of the ice cream branch
of the business. and it is the purpose to
have it as fine an example of modern
sanitary structure as Is possible to be
built.
The interior finish Of the walls is to be
of white enamel brick, with white tile
ceilings and monolithic floors. There viii
be no wood used except, of course, for
the window frames and in the finish of
the offices. The plant will have a capac-
ity Of four thousand gallons of cream
daily. and it is the intention of the COM
pany to have 1t sort Of show place
where people may witness the making of
the delicacy and also see how all the
operations Of such large concern may
be carried on with regard for cleanliness
and health.
The extent OF the establishment may be
judged in a measure when it is known
that the real estate holdings of the COM
pany in the square comprise frontage
of more than 200 feet on LIST street, 800
feet on Patterson street and 200 feet on
NJ street. The business was started about
seven years ago as an ice-making plant
and the first building erected had a
capacity of fifty tons daily. The business
has grown SO that today the capacity is
90 tons daily.

The Language" Of Animals.

John Burroughs in Outing Magazine.
Huxley thought that because OF the
absence Of language the brutes can have
no trains Of thoughts. but only trains Of
feeling, and this is the opinion OF most
comparative psychologists. 1 am myself
quite ready to admit that the lower AMI
mails come as near to reasoning as they
come to having a language. Their va
rious cries and calls-the call to the
mate. to the young. the cry Of anger. OF
fear. Of alarm. Of pain. of joy-do serve
as the medium Of some sort OF communi-
cation. but they do not stand for ideas or
mental concepts any more than the va
rious cries of q child do. They are the
result of simple reactions to outward OBJ
jects or to inward wants. and do not
imply any mental process whatever. A
grown person may utter a cry of pain or
fear or pleasure with q mind utterly
blank Of any ideas. Once on a moonlight
night lay In wait for some boy poachers
in my vineyard. AS I suddenly rose up.

for one and seized his leg as he was has

WINDS OF THE WORLD.
Fight Between Monsoons-Local
Breezess and Their Effects.

Breezesf and Their Effects.
From the Singapore Free Press.
Being credibly informed the other day
by a queer old man of the seafaring per-
suasion that the southeast monsoon was
still fighting the northeast monsoon to
see which would conquer. and the infor-
nation being followed by a dissertation
on the failure of the last sea sports owing
to- the same perversity of a veteran lag
ging superfiuous on the stage when he
ought to have left the boards empty for
the keen northeaster, it occurred to me
information to be obtained about winds
without discoursing on windiness.
Until one actually experiences it there is
lot of romance hanging around the out
skirts of the word monsoon We speak
of the monsoon being late or early of the
east coast being practically closed. but
unless we go down to the sea in ships the
wind affects us but little. In the great
continents of India and Australia, how
ever. the breaking of the rains is a mat
ter of real moment, of general interest to
every one, of painful and keenest anxiety
to many, and in such cases the word is
fraught with a meaning which Is greater
than ever book conveyed to the mind of
man.
Apart from the WINDS Of regular habit
there are the many local winds which &C.
cur in different parts of the world and are
generally unkind in character. OF such
may be mentioned the simeon sirocco.
harmattan. the puma of Peru. the bitter
northeaster of Britain. the mistral of
Marseilles and that coast. the pampero
of the Andes. With all these local
breezes. though. in fact, they are often
times gales of some velocity. many curl
Gus effects are coupled. and one of the
most noticeable of these is that the blow
ing Of the genuine nor'easter at home is
always coincident with the greatest num-
Der of deaths from consumption and brain
disease.
There is here opened up a wide field of
most interesting research for the curious
in weather study and humanity lore, for
the effect of wind on sentient beings has
never been as deeply considered as 1t
might be. Thus in the lower planes of
life the animals are distinctly affected by
winds. and in particular cats, as any one
will remember If they consider the pecu-
liarities Of cats when high winds are
blowing. Cattle, too, are susceptible to

Building in January.

Building in thirty-fve Of the principal
cities for January shows a decrease Of
Sc per cent. Permits were taken our dur
ing the month. according to official re-
ports to Construction News, for 4.7l5
buildings. involving total cost of $15,-
6S3. O24. against $3.50 buildings, involving
an aggregate cost of s24, ,O43. for hte
same month year ago. decrease of
1,2l5 buildings and Sc, 1857 $40, or 80 per
cent &: is a pretty easy matter to pick
out ~ Esties showing gains. as there are
only eight; embracing, it Is interesting to
say. New York, including Manhattan and
the Bronx. which had an increase of 6
per cent: Kansas City. IS; Denver. o; New
Orleans. IL: Portland. Ore. ;; Terre
Haute. 279: Paterson, 1913. and Topeka,
80 per cent. The rest show decreases OF
from IA to 81 per cent, the falling off in
Chicago amounting to q per cent. What
ever may be the lack Of demand for COM
mercial structures there is unQuestionably
a strong demand for buildings of a semi
public character. and to a degree not usu-
ally found in former periods of contrac-
ton. This class includes clubhouses $,
schools. society buildings of various
classes and churches-the type of build
ing which was in no sense feature of
building construction In former periods of
money stringency. Another phase Of the
situation is the ease wit which funds
for this class of construction can be
raised. When people feel poor they do
not contribute freely to movements TO Sc
cure funds for this purpose. This indi-

Whatever may be the conditions in the

there will be unusual activity in building

or less familiar with the situation that
property holders are not unconscious
of the change that has taken place
and now are holding out for figures

Large Sale Of Houses.
Forty-two six-room houses in Petworth
which were completed short time ago
by builder have been sold by the Swart-
zell, Rheem & Hensey Company to Gill
bert c. Splitter, real estate operator. The
houses are numbered from 404 to $50
Shepard street, and so to 81 Newark
street. in Petworth. and are on lots Is by
$50 feet. Mr.. Splitter completed last fall
eighteen houses in this locality and the
market for them was OF such character
as to lead him to make the above trans
action.
Houses in the Suburbs.
The market for building sites. especially
In what is known as suburban localities,
is such as to lead to the belief there will
be a good many houses built during the
coming season in those sections of the
city n instance OF this is found in
the experience of w. F. Matteson, who
reports that during the past ten months
he has sold large number of lots in
the subdivision which he has charge Of
and which is known as Cathedral Heights.
The name was. of course. given to this
tract of land because of it's proximity
to the property of the Episcopal Cathedral.
In fact, 1t Is just across Wisconsin ave-
nue. from that important center.
Iuring the coming months. Mr.. Matte
supplied to the property. and then, 1t is
expected, a number of houses will be put
up by those who have become the owners
Of building sites.
During January, in addition to selling
lots in Cathedral Heights, Mr. Matteson
sold nine acres in the subdivision Of
Northwest Park, which is on the Rock
vile car line just north of Somerset
Heights. OF the total acreage in this
property of forty acres Mr.. Matteson has
sites averaging about an acre each. Two
houses have been completed and four are
In course of erection.
John F. Maury and Lewellyn Powell
of the census bureau, have resigned in
order to enter the real estate business as
statesmen in the Office Of Mr.. Matteson.
The latter'S brother, E. c. Matteson of
Michigan, will also be associated with
him.
A Large Residence.
The triangular-shaped lot at the south
west corner Of 22d street and Massachu-
sets avenue has been purchased by Alex
ander Stewart from Robert Mccormick.
the former American ambassador to
France. 1t is the purpose of the new
owner to erect there a large house of
French design.

MEMORIAL TO FRANCE.
Suggestion to Have a Monument in
This Citv

The suggestion offered that this country
erect a suitable monument to France or
to the French people is in the opinion Of
F. w. Fitzpatrick timely and deserves
consideration.
'In Washington he adds, there is a
monument to Lafayette and one to Ro-
chambeau; there is a Lafayette Park, and
there is a plan afoot to erect some me-
mortal to L'Enfant, to whose genius the
city owes it's beautiful plan. But all
these tributes are TO individuals who help
ed us make history. So far we have done
nothing really tangible to demonstrate
our feelings toward the nation to which
belonged those individuals and to whose
friendship, recognition, moral. physical
and financial support in our hour OF need
we are so deeply indebted. Indeed, 1t Is
not stretching the truth to state that 1T
was to that nations friendliness we must
attribute in great part our existence as a
powerful and independent nation today.
Our peoples eyes are turned toward
the city of Washington. 1t has been de-
cided to make it capital worthy OF the
nation and without peer among the great
est cities of the world. The thing to do
is to take this matter in hand seriously
and devise some suitable memorial to
France, to decide where and how 1t shall
be placed, and then to leave 1t to Con-
gress. or perhaps even more directly in
the hands of the people to generously pro-
vide for the naturalization of the idea.
I'VE are tired in Washington of seeing
bronze men on horseback. made to typify
our every emotion and to commemorate
the memory of our every hero. and it is to
be hoped some other expression than the
everlasting equestrian statue may be de-
vised. Let us have magnificent fountain
so embelished with historical allegory
and clearly inscribed text that the merest
child may know and appreciate its pur-
pose, or let it be a grand boulevard or
avenue. or a park or a vast assembly or
convention hall (of which Washington is
sorely in need. but let it Enthusiastically
and clearly enounce it's purpose and its
meaning. tribute, an appreciation of our
lasting and profound gratitude to all the
people OF the nation to Franee!'

important Newspaper Ruling.

A ruling recently issued by the post
Office department and which went into
effect, January let, is of deepest moment
to both publishers of newspapers and
the reading public.
So far as The TRIBUNE is concerned it
means absolutely that all subscriptions
to The TRIBUNE MUST BE PAID WITHIN
THE YEAR, that is, that no paper can be
admitted to the mails at the pound rate
if more than one years subscription Is
owing. Three months time is given
publishers to adjust their lists to this
ruling, and the publisher will begin at
nee to notify any who are delinquent.
All delinquencies over a year must be
paid, or the paper must be discontinued
to their addresses.
The ruling provides that subscriptions
must be collected up within a certain
time limit; otherwise the matter will
not be accepted at the ~postoFhce at he
second class postage rate of one cent a
pound, but may be mailed at the tran
sient second class postage rate of one
cent for each four ounces or fraction
thereof, prepaid by stamp affixed.
The rule says that to come under the
provision whereby the publication may
be handled as second class postage at
the former rates, subscriptions to dailles
must be within three months, weeklles
within one year, semi-weeklies within
nine months, tri weeklies within foul
months, semi monthlies within three
months, monthlies within four months,
bi-mo~' hlies within six months, quarter
lies in six months.
