Inis decDratIng of the Wright broth CTS is a good occasion for taking q general view of the living Americans whom the French government has named 10 the Legion of Honor. The legion constitutes an order Ike the an cient order of knighrhood, with its chevaIiers and their officers. command CTS. grand officers and grand croiX. Foreigners who are named to the Le- zion of Honor are those whom the French government recognizes have deserved well of France or of all hu- manity.
 Naturally those who catch most easily the eye of government are those who, from their official position, come into direct contact with government diplomats who please in delicate nego- tiations or who have long represented their country with honor in France. and of late those who have had high positions in the worlds fairs where France has shown. Then there are men of science recognized already by the French academies or university and, of course, men of worldwide dis tinction like Edison and the Wrights, whom the French government for the credit of France holds to honoring. After these, until lately, it seemed as if American artists resident in Paris would carry of about all the remain ing red ribbons.
 Within fifteen years time a great change has been wrought. The French government has more and more con ferred its coveted decoration on Ameri- can business men, Americans in plain commerce and industry and finance.

Indications Point to a Rec
Ord-Breaking Season,
Says Dealer.

o. 3. lantzinger, s08 G street north
west, in speaking of the prospects for
this year in the real estate field, said
that he looked for a far greater activity
in real estate during 1909 than ever
before.
Il have no fault to find" declared Mr..
Zautzingcr, with the progress accorded
-me by old 1905 and am grateful for the
great success with which my efforts
were crowned during that year. The
closing days of 1903 found me with only
eleven lots to dispose of in the subdI-
vision Beehaven, and almost completely
wiped out the remaining lots at CapitCI
Heights. I did not take hold Of Hill
brock until late in the fall OF 1915, but
have no fault to find with the progress
which made in that section.
Tine indications for this year point
10 an even larger business than last
year, WiCl a large increase over last
year in building ana general improve

DrOvements, such as the laying OF side
