Automobile to Supersede the Horse

The urgent deficiency bill recently

White House. This appropriation be-

cover the initial cost of the machines

chase and also provide for the care of
the machines for the remainder of the
current fiscal year. which will end
on June 80. In the new fiscal year,

of the White House stable.
According to statements made at
the Capitol Mr.. Taft intends to use the
automobile exclusively in his move
ments in and about Washington. The
provision in the urgent deficiency bill
authorizing the use of automobiles at
the White House was inserted in that
measure at the request of President
Elect Taft.

WASHINGTON from pill
w lar to post for quarter of a CEN
fury. the United States civil service
commission is crying at the doorstep
of the committee on appropriations of
the house of representatives.
"Give me a home of my own" is the
plaintive appeal of this national waif.
Although established permanently in
the affairs of the government the civil
service commission is a homeless wan
derer without place to lay its weary
head. Five times since its establish
ment in 1888 it has been turned out of
doors and forced to seek new living
quarters. Now 1t is asking congress
for 100000 with which to build a mod
est dwelling place where 1t may be Sc
cure from eviction and where its work
may be carried on in proper and dig
nified manner. In asking congress for
a home the commission has not been
content to follow the conventional
practice of pointing out how much
money will be saved in rentals. The

horses and carriages now used as a
means of locomotion in and around
Washington by the members of the
Roosevelt family. One of President
Roosevelt's pet aversions is the auto
mobile. He has declined to purchase
a car and only in two or three in
stances has he ever consented to be
a passenger in one. On the other
hand, Mr.. Taft is very fond of the au-
tomobile. In the late political cam
paign he made many tours in high
power cars, notably on his visit to
New York. where he was compelled
to make long jumps in accordance
with arrangements made for him by
the national and state committees.

1t is nearly twenty-six years since
the commission was organized, The
early meetings in 1883 were held in the
apartment of Dorman b. Eaton in the
celebrated but dilapidated Wormley's
hotel. Later the commission rented
two rooms in residence in Fourteenth
street. From there it moved to the
seed building of the department of az
riculture. In 1885 it moved to wing
of the city hall building. In 1898 it
moved 10 the Concordia building, and
in 1900 it moved to its present wholly
Inadequate building.

creditable monument to the work 1t
has done and an honor to the public
service that 1t is performing. An ap-
preparation of 100000 will provide
proper site and building and this ap-
preparation is recommended. In trans
hitting to congress the commissions

preparation, President Roosevelt says

Concrete Houses.

The most practical. as well as the most valuable invention of several years is Thos. A. Edi- sons concrete house mold. This mold contains possibly 500 cast-iron pieces, all interchange able, so that many entirely diff ferent houses may be cast in the same form. When the mold is set up both stories, or as many stories as desired, floors, walls, roofs, porches. baths and even the mural decorations are formed at the same time simply by pouring in the concrete fluid. Practical experiment has proven that the sediment of this fluid has no tendency to settle, and that it remains uniform through out. Houses built this way are complete in fourteen days, only six hours of which time is devo- ted to applying the concrete. Then when one has put in his windows and doors, light wires, and water pipes. and moved in his family and his furniture, he is at home. On account of the almost undistructible material used in holding, the expense of casting a house in one piece is greatly reduced. A concrete house is cheaper and far more slightly than the old frame, also l it is fire, water and vermin proof i At his present rate of progress
