POCATELLO SELECTS
BITULITHIC PAVEMENT
twenty-five Blocks in the Business
Heart of the City to be Paved

Twenty-Five streets in the business
portion of Pocatello, Idaho are to be
paved with the popular bitulithic paw
ing, the city council having recently
awarded the contract after a thorough
investigation of the merits of different
kinds of paving. During this inveSti-
cation, the reports OF various commit
tees sent out by other cities to inspect
pavings were taken into consideration,
the report of J. Duder, assistant city
engineer OF Salt Lake City having es-
pecial weight.
AS the result OF three weeks trip
through the east by Mr.. Duder, rec
concentrations will be made to the
city commission of the Utah Capital
that bitulithic paving be used in all
medium traffic and residence streets
says the Pocatello Tribune.
Mr.. Duder was sent by the city
commission for the special purpose Of
investigating paving matters, as he is
to have charge of the paving and gen
eral public improvement work of the
engineering Office. D, H. Blossom,
city engineer, will have charge of the
water works, engineering and general
supervision.
The engineer visited Pueblo, St.
Louis. Kansas City, Omaha and Chi
cago. In these cities bitulithic pave
ment has been used to considerable
extent. Mr.. Duder reports that his
investigations demonstrated that the
bitulithic material is very efficient.
He says he finds it especially adapted
to streets with steep grades where a
rough surface is employed, and he
thinks it will be found satisfactory in
Salt Lake.
He found cheaper paving, but in
the matter of wearing qualities, he de-
clares, they were not satisfactory and
he does not believe it would pay to
adopt them.

hand, he keeps the woodbox full, takes
his mother to church or prayer meeting,

The father, if he should undertake
such job in investigating the character
of the girls, would have an easy task as
long as he didn't do anything. just as
soon as he began asking questions, it is
extremely likely he would be making
tracks for the front door.
Down here on the banks of the Po-
tomac the girls have habit of picking
their own company and just announcing
to "the folks" Il IT they are engaged
to the one they are in love with. They
would hardly stop to study the result OF
any investigation, but follow what they
believed to be the dictates of their own
hearts.
When the father and mother are taken
into consideration in these heart af-
fairs, there will be fewer unhappy homes
and fewer divorces. The millennium is
still far away. When it comes we shall
have ideal marriages. In the meantime
it is to be hoped the girls will be little
more amenable to the advice of their
mothers.

PULMOTOR ON SHOW
AT new MUSEUM
Government Bureaus and Private
Institutions Hold Display Of
Scientific Apparatus.

The progress of science was graphically
shown yesterday afternoon in the exhibit
of apparatus. methods. and results ac-
complished in the National Museum un-
der the auspices OF the Washington
Academy Of Sciences. Twenty scientific
bureaus OF the government and several
private Institutions were represented with
displays. each in charge of an attache,
who explained in detail each feature of
which he was in charge.
The pUlmotor, located in the room OF
the Bureau Of Mines. was the most at
trsctive display of the exhibit. NJ. F.
Leopold, chief OF the bureau. was en-
ployed all afternoon demonstrating the
wonders Of this machine. which has
saved the lives Of thousands of miners
who apparently have been asphyxIated
by mine gases. Other exhibits in the Bu-
reau Of Mines were the rescue helmets.
oxygen tanks, and modern lamps.
An exhibit, instructive but appalling.
Of the Bureau Of Chemistry was an an
alysis of 100 gallons of so-called lithia

HINTS ON GARDENING.
vi, LAST INSTRUCTIONS.
Ey GEORGE FITCH
/ufhor of at Good Old Siwa,h"

Telling things apart Is one of the dis
couragements OF the amateur gardener.
The baby plant is so unlike the finished
product that he Is bewifdered. Seed SELL
ers should illustrate the baby plant on
their packets. and not the adult vege-
table. Any one can tell ripe tomato.
but the infant sproutlet looks so much
like dog fennel, that II frequently meets
terrible fate at the hands Of its infu-
rated owner.
A few simple directions win be of much
assistance. The plants which die first
are the tomatoes. The plants with large
leaves. out Of which the worms make
battenburg lace. are cabbages. The
plants with the soft brown bugs all over
them are potatoes. The plants which
come up and rush madly over into the
neighbor's yard are pumpkins. or
squashes, or cucumbers. The plants
which come up tlred. and discouraged.
and need two cans OF water a day are
lettuce The plants which wTithe about
the ground In commissions are peas. The
tract OF ground which doesn't sprout at
all contains either rutabagas or cauli-
flowers.
In case you should find. after a severe
frost or drought, a plant which is grow
ing strongly and Is remarkably well
looking, root IL out without a minutes
hesitation. II Is a weed.
We have now arrived at the all-im-
portant subject of the harvest. Long
before this time, however, you will have
ceased rising TO tend TO your garden at
{ a. m. You may have some dificulty In
telling just where the garden is. How
ever. the bean poles. II tall enough,
should locate II for you. The main OBJ
ject in gardening is. of course. to present
your neighbor with a bunch of home
grown radishes, before his have begun to
swell at the roots, thus causing him to
turn green and expire with envy. To do
this. purchase on the night before, two
Dozen fine young radishes and plant
them carefully in your garden. Then
harvest them in the morning. having
your wife beat n tin pan to attract at
tention, and give them to your neighbor
with the moist earth still upon them.
This is the true triumph OF gardening.
and will amply repay you for your ar
duous labors.

The Commissioner Excise Bill.

The excise measure prepared by the
District Commissioners, and offered in
the Senate yesterday as a substitute for
the Works bill, will meet with strong
support from Washington. 1t covers
local needs in a sane, conservative fash
ion. If II is not passed at the present
session of Congress, there will be dis
tinct disappointment among those who
deplore the present excise muddle in
the city.
Senator Works proposal to reduce
the number of saloons in the District to
100 is not 4 practicable solution of the
problem before the city. 1t would cut
down excise revenues without compen-
sating and balancing features. The de-
crease in the number of saloons from
5I3 to 100 would simply centralize the
liquor traffic. The Commissioners pro-
pose to increase the liquor license fee
20 $1,000 and limit the quota of sa-
looms to the present number. Whatever
compromise is reached in Congress, it
is certain that the Commissioners have
come far nearer a solution of the diff
culties OF the present situation than has
Senator Works.
The Commissioners bill is sound in
its main features and should have the
active support of those who have the
best interests of the city at heart

Police and Fire Pensions.

The House OF Representatives now
has an opportunity to do justice to the
retired policemen and fremen and to
the widows and orphans of the men
whose lives were lost in the line oi
duty
The bill providing adequate revenues
for the pension fund has been reported
to the House. 1t should promptly pass.
For many months the benehciaries OF
the fund have been deprived of large
proportion of the small amounts which
they are allotted, and much distress has
been occasioned thereby.
If the proposed legislation can be
speedily enacted. the condition of the
pensioners will be greatly relieved.

The End of a Long Controversy.

Artist and laynran alike will breathe
sigh of relief over the elimination
of the prolonged and tedious warfare
regarding the Lincoln memorial site
While the Congressional memorial COM
mission has not officially announced its
decision, it is pretty certain it will CO.
incide in the findings of the Fine Arts
Commission-that is, to select Potomac
Park as the place where the memorial
peristyle should be erected.
1t also seems probable that the de-
sign submitted by John Russell Pope. of
New York, will be selected. Mr. Pope
has done some notable work in Wash
ington architecture, including the new
Scottish Rite temple, now rising in Six
teenth street. and there is every reason
to believe that his Lincoln memorial de-
sign will be his masterpiece Mr.. Pope
is one of the younger guild of archi-
tects in New York City who have won
their places at the top of their profession
within the past FIVE years.
The Fine Arts Commission already
has justified its existence 1t has placed
the Mall project on firm artistic basis,
and it has settled the Lincoln memorial
question in the right way. Many other
excellent plans for the memorial were
urged by Washingtonians, but we be
lieve there will be a general and
gracious acceptance of the commissions
verdict, both by Congress and by the
city at large.

The City Beautiful.

The annual war against filth and those
distressing conditions most cities find
themselves in with the disappearance of
snow and frost is upon us, although the
date officially decided upon is April Is.
1t is rather disgrace to think the
people OF a city like Washington, which
has the reputation OF being the most
beautiful in the United States, should
allow their backwards. or any other
place. to become the dumping ground of
the winters refuse Every day should be
cleanup day.
1t is proposed to have the school
children of the city devote a day to
helping along the good cause. If those
who have pride in civic beauty realize
what d city beautiful means to every
person within Our gates, then the day
will be well spent; but if the work Is
done methodically and without thought,
it will be OF no permanent benefit The
inculcltion OF neat and orderly habits
in the home, the school, can also include
the streets. the lawns, the backyards
Let the principals of the various
schools try and make their pupils real
ize what clcaning-up day means to
themselves. Get them to realize they
cannot always be careless. for if they
expect to become good citizens they
must assume the responsibilities of that
citizenship
Washington now has the reputation
of being as near the ideal as any city
Tourists are here every day from all
sections of the country. They are in
tercsted in the Capital of the greatest
country in the world, and as a rule are
in favor of that country doing its share
in keeping the city up to its reputation.

This is precisely what fully two-thirds
of the people in this part of the country
seem TO be doing at this particular time
OF year and under such weather condi-
tions as have obtained for the last few

who can sound a nasal letter clearly and

TO he told by DIR. ]. r. Huber. in the
New York Medical Journal. that colds
seem 10 be the exclusive privilege of civil
liZstion; that the human race did not
shuttle much until IL began TO build
houses and to wear clothes, and that an
essential element in the catching OF colds
has been the disturbance of equilibrium
in the body through constantly passing
from the superheated home into low tenn
peratures without the house. The fact
remains that the human race, or that
portion OF il which is found in this lati-
tude, does build houses and wear clothes,
and that IL finds houses and clothes in
dispensable, even when winter is engaged
in so mild an occupation as lingering in
the lap of spring.

MAKE FAVORABLE REPORT.
Commissioners Recommend Passage
of Law to Protect Libraries.

The Commissioners yesterday after
noon transmitted to Congress a favor
able report on the bill providing for the
amendment Of the District code so as to
make II an offense punishable by fine
or Imprisonment to fail willfully to re-
turn to Incorporated libraries IN the Dis
trict books which have been kept out
for a period Of thirty days in addition
to the time for which they were issued.
The Commissioners state in the report
that the libraries of the city have ex-
perienced much trouble because OF the
failure OF some persons to return books
The report states that laws similar to
the proposed one are now in effect In
New York and Massachusetts. In these
two States the law provides that any
person who keeps a library book out for
thirty days in addition to the period for
which II was issued shall be fined not
less than 81 nor more than $a5, or shall
be imprisoned for six months.
The District officials state that while
II would not be necessary to prosecute
many persons in the District under the
proposed act the law would be beneficial
because OF its moral influence. The bill
has received the Endorsement of the
board Of trustees Of the Public Library.
