Fourteenth Street and Spring Road N.
w. is the very center of this refined resi-
dental section.
The Spring Road Properties are EVERY
thing Home Should Be"-nuch that
other homes are not.
Their handsome exteriorS are very i'm
posing, but it is inside where they are vast
ly superior-and it is we'll to remember
that we live on the inside and not on the
outside of home.
The artistic arrangement of the interior
is made doubly attractive by such extra
added features as fireplace with art mantle
in the parlor and another in the dining
room, while great carved columns support
the arch that leads from the hall to the
parlor and the one that separates the parlor
from the dining room.

SEEING OPl'OitTt NIFTY.

Maeinns was an otiic" hoy who wanted to
get on,
Ready to grab at any chance before the
chance WIS gone.
He often read in worthy books that boys
should not hc pert
Eut astonish all their bosses by the way
they kept ,llcrt
So Masinnis always had the air of set
ter spottng quail
or a jockey watching for a chance 10

and he often startled old Mccall. when
tho Office bell would ianplc.
But Opportunity WAS slow; she mover

Running out for one-ccnt stamps or tclc-
ponc to ear,
Saving BOSS is OUT is irksomc toll for

but at last one day near three o'clock
when his optimism sank
Mccall said Take this million 10 the

And as Maginnis clutchcd tn" roll his
youthful heart was leaping

that million in his keeping
THIS ENDING FOR PESSIMISTS:
The boy had read somewhere. II seemed,

Was caught in financial pool where

and hide tonight the cash,
And the boss won't lose a Lincoln rent

Alas, that night a burglar came and rob-

And while the bank IS running yet, it was

~he Importance of botanical researcher

man race" he said. twill depend upon new
foodstuffs for those now known will not
suffice to support it." He stated that thu
increase In population, IL continued at its
present rate, would more than overtake
the increase in food production at its
present rate, and the time in which dis
tress might come is not very far away,
a century or two perhaps. There would
under those circumstances DO really
struggle for life. The resources OF tho
earth are being quickly consumed coal -
almost exhausted, the forests arc fast
disappearing and agricultural work. If it
is to save the day mush bu greatly I'M
proved.
In the United States about one-ouarter
OF the soil Is under cultivation. and for the
rest there are the difficulties Of deserts
and of irrigation. IF 1t were possible 10
grow things in the desert world said tho
sneaker, at would be very desirable. At
any rate, it is the agriculture that Is III

Hybridizing Is d means Of getting dosir-
able qualities scattered through different
spccies assembled in one race. The pest
of horticulturalists apply this principle
But in selection there IL Il comparatively
small number of factors with which to

there are small number of known quail
ties to assemble, SO that one can realize
that there is a comparatively near hmlt

The speaker suggested that the leaps IN
species termed mutations, must be studied
so that by the will of man and the forces
that he may control he may be able to in
ducc such mutations. This has been dona
already it is true, but only in a few lines

there is hope in these for the future.
The final discussion for the day was Of
