DECLINE TO BUILD line
OUT EAST OF AMERICUS
County Will Not Construct
Road Now

AT the meeting of county commits
sioners yesterday the petition Of land
owners and others interested for the
construction of road from the east
ern boundary of Americas to a point
near the j. w. Hightower farm was
refused by the board, and this de-
sired improvement will not be made
just at this time, at all events. The
proposition was to extend Crawford
avenue, which now ends at Mayo
stree. in East Americas on direct TO
the Hightower farm, a distance ot
probably three miles. A COMMITTEES
of property owners appeared before
the county commissioners and urged
the construction of this short line, but
as there is already fine road lead
ing out tina. way and owing to the
cost of constructing the desired new
road, the commissioners doubted the
wisdom of the request and turned it
down.

BLISS KNAPP is HEARD
BY A LARGE AUDIENCE
LGCtuPGd on Christian Science
Here

| At Miss Bells studio last night Mr.
Bliss Knapp, Of the Christian Science
Board of Lectureship, addressed an
appreciatiye audience upon this faith
and doctrine Mr.. Knapp is fluent
and graceful speaker and entered with
zest and deep earnestness upon the
subject at hand During his address
he said in part:
ait is generally conceded that
Christian Science has given tremen-
dous impulse to higher standards Of
conduc. in daily life.
Its ethics or rules Of conduct are
generally approved and its optimism
has made a vast contribution to hope,
brightness and human happiness. The
one thing in it's teachings that is most
criticised, and the one thing that is
most responsible for the tremendous
spread of this movement is the heal
ing of the sick through prayer.
Christian Science has restored to
it's rightful places and authority tina.
pearl of Jesus commands, Heal the
sick, and those who embrace its
teachings are first impressed, as a
rule, by the joy and comfort promis-
ed to the sick and the sorrowing.
The most unerring faculty for
ascertaining truth has always been the
illumination of a mans spiritual sense.
1t was the spiritual discernment of the
lowly Nazareen that made him the
profoundest logician and the most
truthful one the world has ever
known
He came to save men from a mis-
taken belief, and to this end he did
not address himself to their intel
lects; he appealed to their natural
tenderness and spiritual nature, and
he was understood even by the com
mon people and children, for the sim
plicity of his speech.
He recognized that man is ma
lively and inherently spiritual, pos
sessed OF those qualities that link
him to God. Jesus addressed himself
10 that real sense of manhood and Ell
fected the cure Of sickness and Of
sin.
His process of salvation was 70
aw; ken men to their true, spiritual
nature, which is as indestructible and
irlDerishable as the divine principle
from which it is derived.
Mrs Eddy's book, "Scence and
Health with Key to Scriptures" has
presented the spirit and power of the
Christ law with such simplicity as
to bring a return of primitive Chris
iar healing.
These fruits of Christian Science
spread over a period of nearly halt
a century, have done more to change
the thought of the world to higher
ideals than any religious statement
or teaching Of modern times. They
have challenged attention to the fact
that spiritual teaching improves the
health as we'll as the morals Of
( men

PRESERVING SIGHT
OF THE CHILDREN
Points Americas Teachers Might I'm
press Upon Them.
(From Collier's.)

The child's eyesight is a possession
he can not be expected to appreciate
without help In every text book in
one large city is to be pasted a label
containing the following:
Your eyes are worth more to you than
my book
Your safety and your success in life
depend upon your eyes; therefore
take care Of them.
Always hold up your head when you
read.
Hold your book fourteen inches from
your face
Be sure tina. the light is clear and
good
Never read in a bad light.
Never read with the sun shining de-
rectly on the book
Never face the light in reading.
Let the light come from behind d
over your left shoulder.
Avoid books or papers printed indis-
tinctly.
Rest your eyes by looking from the
book every few minutes
Cleanse your eyes every night and
morning with pure water.
The advice is often needed by adults
as well as children. Moreover, our
schools are becoming rapidly more in
telligent.

INSPECTION RAISED
STANDARD Of ICE
CREAM MEASURES
Manufacturers Taking Ad-
vantage of Tolerance"
Held to Uniform Size.

Conditions in the sale Of Ice cream
in the District are much improved in
comparison with a year ago, according
to a report of an Investigation by
George A. Howe, inspector inlthe office
Of the Superintendent of Weights and
Measures, made public today.
The manufacturers at that time were
tllowed a tolerance" of two ounces to
he quart, that is, a quart measure
vas accepted as standard If it con-
aimed only thirty ounces. This was
,ermitted because 1t was believed that
)nly an occasional measure would be
found short, but 1t was discovered, ac-
cording to the report, that the manu-
facturers of ice cream cans were TAX
ing advantage Of the department attI-
tude and were making all cans short of
the standard. The quart can was two
ounces short, the half-galIon measure
four ounces short, and the gallon can
eight ounces short.
The ice cream manufacturers were
not aware of this. 1t Is said, and
thought they were receiving standard
measure.
The total number of metal ice-cream
measures inspected was 9,l11, of which
Gil were condemned.
Ninety-five per cent Of the ice cream
sold in the District, according to the
report is manufactured by three firms,
Who are most careful, It is said, in con-
sulting with the department before
placing an order for the pasteboard
boxes in which the cream is sold.
The total number of boxes used in
the sale OF ice cream in the District an
nually Is estimated at 2,44,20o.

DEC|S|ONON MONEY
TRUST LEGAL|TY|S IS
HELD BY MACVEAGH
Secretary of Treasury, Be-
cause of Vital Issue, Will
Act Cautiously.

Officials at the Treasury Department
freely admitted today that it is prob.
able that Secretary MacVeagh's final
report on the legality of the National
City Company, the alleged money
trust" will not be issued for some time.
perhaps for two or three months.
The question is of national import
ance, and the final decision will have
such an effect on the banking system
of the country that 1t has been thought
best to move with extreme caution in
the matter. Accordingly, following the
discussion Of the subject at yesterday :
Cabinet meeting, It was officially an
nounced that the report would not be
given out for some time" A number of
those who are in a position to know,
however, declare that the some time"
probably will mean two months at least.
Not the least interesting feature OF
the affair Is the persistent rumor that
the banking case may have the effect
Of further di5rupting the Taft Cabinet.
Secretary MacVeagh being reported de-
cidedly displeased with wnat he consid-
7rs the interference of Attorney Gen.
eral Wickersham in giving dn official
report on the matter before he was ask
ed The Attorney General, however, is
said to be supported by the President
In the matter, the latter taking the
>tand that IT is the function Of the De-
partment of Justice to render a report
on any alleged law-breaking case, even
before 1t is asked to do so.
