Bills Before Congress May
Change District Map.
PARK ADDITION PROPOSED
Sixteenth Street to Be Made Eastern
Boundary.
COMMISSIONERS PUSH PLAN
They Wish Property Purchased
Soon, Before Prices
Go Up.

There is handful of bills now before
Congress which, if passed, will make
changes in the map of the District. One
of them sent recently to the House COM
mittee on the District asks for authority
to acquire all the land along the eastern
boundary Of Rock Creek Park lying be-
tween 10th street extended northwest
and the present park boundaries. This
would make 18th street the eastern
boundary of the park. and the Commits
soners have persistently asked Congress
for it for some time. They want to do it
now as land values are increasing.
Another bill would extend Farragut
street northwest from 14th street to Piney
Branch road. Tie cost would be $4,000
Ths Commissioners have explained to
the committeeman that the property
through which the proposed extension
would pass has been acquired by the
trustees of fund left for charitable pur-
poses and. plans are being prepared to
erect large blu .lding i'm the line of the
proposed highway. The Commissioners
want to get the street through before 1t
is too late

OFFICE GOES BEGGING.
Difficulty Experienced in Securing
Landscape Gardener.

The War Department is having con-
siderable difficulty in filling the position
Of landscape gardener in the office of
superintendent of public buildings and
grounds, a vacancy being caused by the
death OF George H. Brown about four
weeks ago. The Office is IN the classi-
fed service and the usual requisition was
made on the civil service commission
The commission recently reported to. the
War Department that there was no one
on the eligible list that met the peculia.
reuu rements of the office, but that an
effort won-d be made to find some one
possessing the necessary qualifications
who would accept the office. There is no
particular hurry in filling the office, bul
it is felt that the appointment should be
made in time to arrange for the annual
planting in the public parks and reserva-
lions in the early spring.

From the Medical Record
In a recent address before the Maine
Medical Associat on a Philadelphia physi-
clan testified TO the advantages OF cocoa
nut charcoal as an absorbent OF radium
carnations and therefore as a means OF
ising these emanations for therapeutic
purposes. Air from a compressed air
tank is passed through a wash bottle,
then through a tube containing radium
n so ution. whence IL escapes into tube
filled with cocoanut charcoal, carrying
the radium- carnations with It.
The charcoal. remains strongly radio
active for two weeks Shober claims
that cocoanut charcoal can lie raised to
POO or 800 times the radioactivity OF the
most radioaeiiye water. :. II can be pre-
AIRED at small expense, and the same
radinm can be used over and over again.
IN can. lie administered intsFnally O.. Q
tube can be applied locally.

Fear Bottling UP Of Streets.

| Also the Commissioners are anxious to
prevent the "bottling up of streets in
the Mount Pleasant street neignbornood,
and have sent bill to Senator Gallinger
providing for the extension of Kenyon
| street from 18th street to Mount Pleas
ant street, and for the extension of 18th
| street from Kenyon to Irving. There is
| much vacant land in that section which
will some day be built upon, and more
than likely streets will nave to be cut
through and buildings condemned.
Representative Smith, chairman of the
House District committee, has under con-
sideratiOn bill for the extension of
Franklin street northeast from its pres
ent terminus near oath street to the
Bladensburg road. The proposition is of
local benefit, and the Commissioners say
that the cost will be LEVIED on the prop
erty owners. SO that ultimately there Will
be no cost 10 the District. Six thou
sand dollars is mentioned as the probable
ngure.
A bill has. also been sent to Senator
/ Gallinger to extend Newton place north
west from New Hampshire avenue to
Georgia avenue, and to connect. Newton
place in Gass subdivision with Newlon
place in Whitney Close subdivision.
Newton place near New Hampshire ave-
nue. is little better than a hole in the
ground, and residents of the section have
to make wide detour in order to catch
the Georgia avenue car. The street as far
as 1t exists west of Georgia avenue Is
built up. On the east side of Georgia ave-
nue. are two disconnected highways, called
Newton place, and 1t is proposed that
these two be connected

Smithield "reminiscences.
From the London Chronicle,


Smithtield market is associated with
sales ether than those of cattle and
horses. French people are getting to
know their London too we'll TO believe
that We still sell our wives at "Smifie. /"
but the memory of those transactions
survives. The Times IF the thirties con-
tains several records OF them. Thus Feb
ruary -. 1872 il recorded how a day or
two before "a fellow came into the mar
ket leading his wife by a halter and
ave her to drover. desiring him to tie
Der to the pens and sell her to the best
bidder. The woman quietly submitted.
"A crowd of persons soon gathered rounn
and a man of rather respectable appear
ance entered into a negotiation with the
irover for the purchase Of the wife, and
SITTER some hiGglinS she was finally
Knocked down TO him for the sum OF 10
Shillinss." The drover exacted shil-
inss as commission. and then .'the par
les adjourned to a neighbouring public
house, where the late husband spent the
sreater part Of the money in brandy and
water

Commissioners Report Adversely.

There is bill in the hands of the House
| committee that would change the name of
I'D street north of Calvert street to
Woodley place. The Commissioners have
reported adversely on the bill. inasmuch
as the change is desired for sentimental
reasons only and would conflict with the
present street naming system.
Another old friend of Congress which
hobs up again with the expressed wish
that it should go through with flying col
ors is the proposition to extend Park
place northwest 1t would mean high
way forty feet wide ON the west side Of
the Soldiers Home, grounds from the
Rock Creek Church road to the Washing
ton city reservoir.
1T will be a benefit to the property of
the locality" say the Commissioners. 'as
it will be q thoroughfare. on which build
ings may be erected facing the Soldiers
Home grounds. 1t wiz also be a benefit
to those grounds, in that houses will con-
front the grounds instead of being con-
structed so that the rear portion over
looks the grounds"
The portion Of the highway already ded-
icated is about LOO feet In length, and
the proposed extensions would be $500
feet. The area of the1extension is about
81 900 square feet. The estimated value
Of the land to be condemned is about
$4,000, and there have been recently
erected in the line of the highway two
houses, estimated to be worth about
$1,000 These would have to be moved or
torn down to provide for the highway
