BUILDERS DEVELOP NEW
CENTER OF POPULATION
Many New Houses in Course of
Construction Near Naval
Observatory.

A comparatively new center of popula-
ton is being built on the heights along
Wisconsin avenue opposite the entrance
to the grounds of the Naval Observatory.
Three streets have been opened on the
west side Of the avenue One of them,
Hall place, is parallel to Wisconsin ave-
nue., while Observatory place and w place
run at right angles. The avenue front of
this new block was improved some time
ago by the construction of a row of two
story houses, perched on the terrace
away from the direct heat Of the pave
ment, while on the opposite side are
houses standing detached in the midst OF
a stretch of green lawn and almost hid
den from the street by the luxLriance OF
the foliage of trees and shrubbery.
In this natural home center, with its at
tractive features. provision is being made
for additional homes. Fourteen houses are
being built on the west side of Hall place
by L. E. Breuninger. Each house Is twen-
ty-one feet wide and contains six rooms.
The houses which Mr.. Breuninger built at
the southeast corner of Hall place and
Observatory place and also on the north
side of Observatory place are occupied
by their owners The selling agents OF
the property, n. l.. Sansbury Company,
are now offering the houses which are In
course of construction for the inspection
of home seekers.
On the opposite side Of Hall place are
some that have been recently completed
by T. L Lewis, and sold through the office
of H. F. Mandler Company. These houses
are just north of a group built by Mr..
Lewis at the northwest corner of Hall
and w places.

A Word for Cooks.
From the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript.
An insolent oiler from the engine room
of a coastwise steamer recently vented a
contemptuous opinion touching the pro-
fessional skill of him who presides owe:

the outgoing vessels of a steamship line
plying between New York and ports on
our southern coast seemed likely for a
time to mss their sailing date. Sea cooks

with its attendant violence and threaten
ed embarrassment to an important part
of the coastwise trade, goes to prove that
those cooks who go down to the sea In
ships and do business in deep waters are
not exempt from the proverDial sensitive
ness of their brethren ashore. According
to a competent literary authority cooks
were ever a genus irritable. and their
reputed violence Of temper has been laid
to the superheated atmosphere in which
they habitually dwell. Chaucer's cook
seems to have been an1iable enough IN
spite Of his sore shin, and his tale starts
out so merrily that We may we'll wish
that it had not broken off at the fifty
eighth line. We all remember the French
cook who committed suicide because a
guest sailed the soup, and his case may

the profession are less irritable than
merely sensitive Being artists in their
CONSCIENTIOUS devotion to the niceties OF
their trade and singularly exposed to the

nant or the dyspeptic, they encounter
many humilations, and stationed as they
commonly are at a distance remote from
the apartment where the products OF
their skill are consumed. they have little
opportunity to defend themselves against
adverse opinion. No wonder then that

Tale Of a Royal Relic.
rom the Chicago News.

FROM the thcagO News.
Mr.. Andrew Lang, writing in Black
woods tells of Frenchman in whose cha
teau was window on which Henry "
had once scratched the inscription: "Dieu
garde de NAL ma ME. &c % de Septen-
bre, 15s9.-Henry.' The inscription, when
M. Eudel first saw it, was in two lines of
big, clumsy letters. Two years later, be-
ing again in the neighborhood, he revisited
the chateau, when he was astonished to
find that the inscription was now in three
lines, with the letters much more nearly
uniform. After some effort he got hold
of the secret. For forty years the inscrip-
ton on the window had been the guide s
pride and pleasure till, in one fatal mo-
ment of inattention on his part, an Eng
lishman had cut the pane of glass out of
its setting and walked away with it in his
pocket.
The poor guide hurried to tell his mas
ter what had befallen him. The owner of
the chateau assured him that the accident
was of no consequence and could soon be
put right And so it was. piece of glass
of the same tone as the other panes was
procured and fastened lightly in its place.
The guide received orders to turn his
back so as to allow visitors to read the
nscription-or, If they wished, to steal it.
But it was necessary for the man to
perceive in the nick of time what was
going on, and only consent to shut his
eyes on the receipt of a handsome tip
(the amount fixed beforehand), two-thirds
of which was to go to his master

CHARM OF THE lockwood.
A Native Tree of Great Value on the
Country Estate.

From Country Life in America.
Twenty-nine years ago small piece OF
property on Long Island was bought ana
cleared sufficiently to leave room for
house and garden. The place comprised
five acres, denseiy wooded ana tnicKly
overgrown with underbrush.
In foresting his land the owner took
care to open up all the dogwood to the
sun by cutting away the surrounding
trees. and found seventy-three dogwoods,
fun grown but spindly, having been
choked by trees. The effect of the sun
light was soon apparent, for the trees
began to spread out and to gain In rich
ness of foliage.

Seeing America" by Automobile

From the Chicago Record Herald.
1t is estimated by the touring bureau

sons on the average. will cross the
United States this year in pleasure tours.
Most of the tourists may be presumed to
be fairly well-to-do, and the bureau esti-
mates that they will spend $500. 600 at
hotels, S325. 900 for passenger fares and
while on the journey, making a total of
81, OPS, 600. or little more than $500
each That money will be kept in the
United States instead of being spent in
Europe and the tourists will ''see Amer
lea first
The automobile, in making such trips
possible, Is an educational influence as
we'll as a source of pleasure. In the
days when the railroads provided the
only means of long distance travel most
Americans thought twice or several
times, indeed. before venturing to ex-
plore their native land. 1t was pleas
anter. especially for those on the At
lantic seaboard, to go to Europe. Now

Good roads. Of course, are demanded
for this travel. and their construction
receives a stimulus from each tranScon-
tinental tour. When they are more nu-
merous regular lines of touring automo-
biles may be established, SO that sight
seeing tours will become popular. That
also will be educational, besides provid-
ing heaIthful recreation.

Turn in Your MOSQUITO Alarm

From the ST. Louis Post Dispatch.
1t is one of the humors of Panama that
if mosquitoes are discovered about the
house one has only to turn in an alarm,
exactly as one would do II they were bur-
glars
The st. Louis health department, which
is taking the field against the mosquito
in the light OF what has been learned in
Panama, would like to introduce this fea-
ture Of the campaign here. If you have
mosquitoes the health commissioner
would like to know it. 1t means that
somewhere in your vicinity there is a
breeding place which the department can
abate,. and by reporting your mosquitoes
you will render a service.
This is the least the community can do
to help the department. While the mos
quito policeman may not respond in st.
Louis with that celebrity which amuses
the visitor to the sthmus, he will get
there or whereabouts IN the end, and the
pest will be driven out of the neighbor-
hood. If all the people of st. Louis went
into their back yards next week and
abated all the moist and wet places where
mosquitoes breed, the 5000 which the
health department has for the work in
general would be quite enough to give the
city a mosquitoes summer.

Canvey Island.
From the London Chronicle.

T fUHI tue INHuUH OHfUnIcIe
Canvey Island. where it is proposed to
construct deep-sea dock, Is one of the
most un-English spots in the kingdom.
The island was almost submerged until
1922, when the owner. Sir Henry Apple
ton. agreed to give one-third of 1t to Joas
Croppenburg. a Dutchman skilled in the
making of bikes. on condition that he
''inned' it. This the Dutchman did
by the erection of a sea wall. twenty
miles in length. Many of the workmen
whom Croppenburg brought over settled
on the reclaimed land. Some of the old
aspect of the fat almost treeless island
is suggestive of the banks of the Zuyder
Zee.
