A Word for Willows.
To the Editor of The Star:

10 the EdlLor OF Inc Staf:
If your correspondent Frances Copley
'Eeavy. in her letter about the willows,
will indicate where one can find too
many in this District or adjacent country,
or one solitary example of a misplaced
willow, or one scenic effect marred, or
one unsightly specimen. She will enlighten
many who, though not Tin command .
are quite keenly interested in the
esthetic effects of trees as those autho-
riZed to decide the question 1t is the
people who pay for the parks. and
they have a right to ask questions and
TO manifest an interest in their own
property, whether their views are train
ed" or not
There is monopoly of learning on
this subject, and any discussion that
will arouse an interest in public ques-
tons makes for education and wider
Intelligence in civic affairs and the
press is our mouthpiece.
The realm Of letters is republic where
each may nave voice, whether il is
trained not. Before accepting her
statement that the willow stands for
weakness and lack OF impressiveness, ex-
anime the sturdy giants in the Potomac
Park. They are not only upright and
noble. but clothed in wealth of beauti-
full foliage that has no equal In all the
WI Va ptes. <oIit tiSO dSCIIDeS 10 tDc
willow as Il fault-a weakness-that its
branches cannot sway of their own
voiition"
Will she tell US what tree can She
says it must be assduously stunned be-
cause of its curiously insistent indi-
viduaiity.'
We. the unframed, think that its high
eat charm!
or course we are tho benighted. but
% was that famous mikado who sans
willow. Tit Willow! Tit Willow!' May
We not be permitted to Join In the
chorus? SUSAN p. OkIE.

SOFT DRINKS INQUIRY.
Manufacturers Explain Process to
the Pure Food Board.

Manufacturers OF bottled soft drinks
spent the afternoon yesterday In explain
ing to the pure food board Of the De-
partment of Agriculture how near their
products came to being what they were
sold for. DR.. Wiley and Dr. Dunlap were
again on the bench and heard all about
making root beer. lemon sour, cream
soda and soluble chocolate that DIR. Wiley
said did not appear to him to be soluble
chocolate at all.
The one point that the manufacturers
gained from the board was the sanction
for labelling five-cent drinks on the tin stop
per that was put over the bottle rather
than putting on an extra label. 1t was
explained by several Of the makers that
there was such a small margin of profit
on ive-cent goods that they could not af-
ford to put a label on. and that if they
did put it on the bottle got wet and the
label did not stay. DR.. Wiley said that
while he was not rendering an official de-
cision. he did not see any objection to
stamping the name of the drink and any
other necessary matter on the tin cap.
provided it could be done In the sized
type the law required.

WANT NAVY YARD FOUNDRY,
Columbia Lodge Of Machinists and
Others Appeal to CONGRESS-.

Business and professional men.
members of Columbia Lodge of Machin-
lists and other friends of the Washing
ton navy yard are making de-
termined effort to have an amendment
added to the naval appropriation bill
providing for a foundry in the yard
for the making Of steel castings It is
claimed that the steel trust has been
instrumental in killing bills for this
purpose that were before Congress In
the past.
Representative Carey of Wisconsin
is fathering the foundry project, and it
is believed he will succeed in securing
the adoption of the amendment An
appropriation for the foundry has been
recommended by the Secretary of the
Navy.
The plant proposed will cost the
government about $4,000. and Rear
Admiral Leutze believes it will save
the naval establishment $4,000 a year.
and turn out a better grade Of cast
ings than are now used. The foundry
will more than pay for the expenditure
for its construction in seven years, say
those familiar with the matter.

of That Section.

Real estate activity in Northeast
Washington is on the increase an
nounces the II. r. Howenstein Company.
This section has more than held its own
during the winter months, as the build
ing records will testify, and now that
the spring is really upon us the real
estate business in that quarter of the
city Is expected to ltyen up considerably.
Three important factors have worked
together In favor OF the northeast.
namely. the removal OF tho old Baltimore
ana Ohio railroad tracks, the construction
OF the new 9Th street Capital Traction
line, and the building of the Union sta
ton. These have opened up many posi-
bilities to this section.
''Our company has made itself con-
spicuous in the northeast by the char
acter Of the houses it has been putting
on the market. Its speciality is a, six or
eight-room and bath colonial house. with
wide double porches on the front, finished
entirely throughout in hardwood. and
supported by steel cross beam and up

erected and sold by us In this locality.
