r. HE bureau of animal industry Of
l the agricultural department ex-
presses the hope that many state leg
islatures will take up the question Of
providing for the production of the
government hog cholera serum. The
federal experts are convinced of the
efficacy Of this serum. They believe
that if the proper effort is put forth
by states hog cholera will be eradi-
caetd.
State officials who display interest
In the subject are asked to send rep
resentatives to the bureaus expert
ment farm, at Ames, Ia, where the
methods of producing the serum are
explained. 1t is also the policy of the
bureau TO furnish limited amount of
the serum and few immune hogs to
the states that are just starting in the
work. Within the last year practical
demonstrations of what may be ac-
complished through the use of this
new serum have been successfully
carried out in Maryland. Virginia, Illi-
nois, Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Ken

Style of Street Letter Box Changed

concealing the time when the next
collection is to be made.
Four things have been taken into
consideration In trying to adopt de-
sign for a new street letter box. The
first is that of economy of time for
the collector. Instead of having to
open the box from the side and re-
move the contents by handfuls. the
department wants a box that VIII
open and discharge its contents into
a sack with single operation.
In searching for this the question OF
the artistic appearance of the box has
by no means been overlooked. If q
new box is to be adopted. the postal
authorities are determined that it
shall combine as much grace and
beauty in its appearance as it is pos
sible to give such a utilitarian object
An indestructible time card and an
automatic indicator that will show the
time at which the next collection is to
be made are the two other points
that have been given consideration.
The first becomes unnecessary II the
automatic Indicator works satisfac-
tory. but the experiments thus far
made by the postoffice department
have not developed an automatic de-
vice sufficiently trustworthy, to put in
to use on the street letter boxes.

A FTER witnessing many experiments
~ with new designs and automatic
time registers. American cities are
soon to have an entirely new style Of
street letter box. Its exact shape and
principle of operation is not yet an
nounced by the postoffice department,
but experiments have gone so far
that an early decision is expected
upon the precise type of box that is to
be used.
The unsightly green box that graces
the top of the iron post at the street
corner now has long been an unsatis-
factory receptacle for street mail. the
authorities say. Compared with the
post boxes of foreign cities, it is who'll

Make Plans to Beautify the Capital

built, as they were in Paris in the
days OF the Terror. On his plan he
designated various places where the
great public buildings Of the future
should be put. For nearly half hum
dred years Major LEnfant was re-
garded as an impractical dreamer. al
though his street plan was adhered to-
II was only after the civil war that
people began to realize in small
way that his vision Of the future
greatness of the nations capital was
likely to come true some day. But
even up to ten years or so ago his
plans slumbered in the archives OF
the government. Then they were TAX
en- out and studied in the light of mod
ern development, and it was found
they could not be improved upon, and
that If they were carried out in every
detail Washington would surpass ev-
cry other city in the world in beauty.
The completion of these ancient
plans of this French engineer Is still
far away, for 1t will take many years
and much money to accomplish them
in eli their details. But the three mas
sive buildings whose location was des-
ignated SO long ago will be the most
important step toward their fulfill
ment that has been taken since the
capitol was erected.

these stations could be used with the
other IA that could be purchased

Representative James R. Mann OF
Illinois declared that this country was

we had provided the most powerful
and most economical machine of mod
ern times for warfare we stopped. To-
day other nations are profiting by our
ingenuity. We are discussing the

years ago.

Need of Hog Cholera Serum Reported

Most of these demonstrations con-
sisted of treating part of the dis
eased herd and leaving the remainder
untreated. At Kansas City, however,
a more thorough test was made. the
results of which were very interesting
and demonstrated conclusiyely the
efficiency of the serum as preventive
for hog cholera.
The test was made In the stock
yards at Kansas City, on the request
of the Kansas City Live Stock ex-
change and of individuals interested
in the subject. Thirty-five young
shoats were purchased from farm
where hog cholera had not existed.
These pigs were carried to the Kan
sas City stockyards. being in charge
of committee appointed by the ex-
change, were treated and the experts
say that no more convincing truth OF
the efficacy of this serum could be
obtained thar is afforded by this ex-
pertinent.
The agricultural department feels
that the subject is of such importance
as TO warrant state legislatures giving
it immediate attention. Hog cholera,
it is pointed out, has caused loss to
the farmers Of the country of mil
lions of dollars annually. Now that
the government has discovered Sc
rum through the use of which this
dread disease may be prevented state
authorities should not delay in pro-
viding for the use of this serum.

w ASHINGTON.-One decided step

Gently when the designs for three
great buildings for the federal govern

Pennsylvania avenue, facing the White
House grounds. They will house the
department of state, the department

merce and labor.
The spaces that these great struc-
lures will occupy were selected nearly
century and a quarter ago. Major

A Fleet OF aeroplanes for the United
~ States army is now apparently an
assured fact as the result of action by
the house of representatives in appro-
priating s125,000 for this purpose.
There is the possibility that the SEN
ate may strike out the item. but even
then 1t would have a splendid chance
of remaining in the bill in conference,
for it was adopted almost unanimous
ly by the house.
This means the signal corps can

of the army, asked in his annual re-
