Sterilization by Flatiron.

from the Literary Digest.
The ironing of linen was never intend
ed as a sanitary process; nevertheless. 1t
appears probable that it acts as an eff
cient disinfectant. AS writer in Cos
mos (Paris) says:
THE smoothing of household linen with
a hot f1atiron may accomplish much
more than is intended by laundresses.
AS the iron Is heated to temperatures
that often exceed 100 degree c. 1t has
been thought that it must be able to
sterilize certain fabrics and thus render
hygienic service especially in the coun-
try. where furnaces for disinfection or
autoclaves for sterilization are not avail
able. 1t is well known that all microbes
may be killed by the sufficiently proong-
ed application OF temperature of 10
de grees c.; but sterilization requires 13O
degrees because the spores of certain
bacteria resist lower temperatures. Elk
periments have been made to show that
the hatiron is capable at least of disin-
fecting linen. Pieces of cloth were Sc
lected that had been in contact with chill
dren suffering from contagious disease,
or had been contaminated with the germs
OF diphtheria. pyenia. etc. This linen
was mostened and then ironed. after
which 1t was rubbed on plates of gelatin
prepared for the culture of microbes. 1t
was found that no microbian colony de-
veloped."

CHANGE IN FORM ONLY.
Office of R. O. Holtzman Real Els.
tate Company Incorporated.

The business of the r. o. Hoffman
real estate office has recently been incor-
porated, which means change In form
and not in the personnel of the manage
ment or the policy that has been pursued
during the more than thirty-f1ve years OF
it's existence. Founded by the late r. Q.
Hoffman in the year 1874 the business
was conducted by him UP to the time OF
his death, some twenty-five years later.
During this period, when the business
was being built up. he secured the serv-
ices and cooperation of several young
men The first to come into his employ
was Upton H. Ridenour; then, five years
later, w. 8. Mccarthy. and six years
later John O'Hagan. When Mr.. Holtz-
man passed away the business was con-
tinued for the benefit of his widow, the
young men carrying it on as they have
done since that time.
The recent death of Mrs. Hoffman
has brought about another change, and
now 1.-The boys" who came into Mr.. Holtz-
mans service more than a quarter of a
century ago have taken over the business
and organized company, of which Mr..
Rdenour is the president, Mr.. Mccarthy
the vice president and treasurer and Mr..
O'Hagan the secretary.
1t is the intention TO continue the bust
ness in the building at 1i26 New York
avenue which was built some years ago
for the use of this office, and which is
specially adapted for conducting a real
estate business

The growth of population along and be-
yond the District borders and extending
over into the contiguous territory OF
Maryland is now attracting good deal
Of attention. The fringe of homes does
not go completely around the boundaries
of the District. but, as might reasonably
be expected is punched about the lines,
of the principal thoroughfares TO the CEN
ter Of the city. 1t is these settlements
that indicate the course of the main road
or what is now the modern equivalent,
the course of the trolley.
Such an avenue OF communication as
Georgia avenue, for example, has wide
~ extended suburban territory In addi-
ton to the built-up section along its line
after passing beyond the old city limits,
and it is the location of the former that
illustrates some of the changes that are
taking place in the development of the
city.
Ii is noted. in the first place. that a
center like Takoma Park has sprung up
along the border of the District. SO that
the larger portion of it's territory lies be-
yond the bounds of the District in the
jurisdiction of Maryland. In fact Ia

Silver Spring Settlement.
Just north of Takoma Park. and still on
the trolley road that forms continuous
connection with the heart of the city, Is
the settlement of Silver Sphing, perhaps
a mile or mile and half to the north.
Here are found more of the people VINO
like to have bit of ground about their
homes with perhaps room for chicken
run, and also space for ped or so OF
vegetables.
Il is not the least of the considerations
that such facilities can be secured, to
say nothing of a house open TO the four
sides, and with an abundance OF light and
afr, at total outlay that looks rather
small when compared with city prices.
This phase of the situation Is enabling
quite a number OF people, VINO would
not otherwise feel able to undertake the
purchase of a home TO start on such a
course In other words, the figures are
smaller for houses in such location
than is the case nearer the center or
things.
Then. of course, there are people who
want the space and the freedom which
comes with it, and which is not TO De

of a city home, and that consideration

end of the problem of living 1t thus
comes about that the people VINO iivs

which gives individuality and tone to the

This is the explanation. in part, at
least, OF the advance movements in pop
ulation ahead of the course OF the main
body OF the community and why great
tracts OF land are in the midway zone
