Shiyers and Dollars.

We are now at the approach
of some pretty cold weather.
We have it every winter, and
every summer we harvest big
crops. There is a connection be-
tween these two that we should
remember. Shivers and dollars
are interchangeable terms. And
after all, there are less shivevS
than some of US think. The
porthern home that is well CON
structed is a mighty comfortable
and healthful abode.
In this connection let 1T be
noted that a week or so ago
there were heavy trostsi in Florida
and all along the Gulfcoast. We
have our cold weather when 1T IS
a benefit to the coming crops and
in the south they have theirs
when it will damage the growing
crops. Here is a distinction with
a we'll developed difference. IL
we did not have ourcold winters
we would have the necessity
of subsoiling that IS so necessary
in the warm climates, and we
would not be taking6rst awards
on grains in world contests,
Look into this matter and you
will be we'll suited with Wlscon'
-, winters -Wausau Pilot.

Consul Who Gave Aid
To Sailors Is Loser

w. C. Teichman, u. s. Consul at
Stettin. Germany, is out of pocket just
$12.97, because of klnd-heartedness in
helping American Seamen in distress.
Last winter FIVE Americans, John Mil
Ter, Franz Ollila, A. l.. Miller, James
West, and John Jackson, were tranded
at different times at Stettin, and they
applied to Consul TeiChman for aid.
He gave each of them funds to help
them on their way.
The laws of the United States provide
that members of the American merchant
marine stranded in foreign ports shall
be aided by the consular officers. so
Consul Teichman applied to the Gov
ernment for reimbursement. The
Auditor for the State Department de-
MED his claim, because while these
three men were Americans, and sailors,
they were not so far as shown sailors
from an American ship, and conse-
quently were not members of the
American merchant marine.

MISS ALICE NIELSEN

FROM GRAND OPERA

Audience With Program
of Merit.

Despite the downpour yesterday after
noon at the hour scheduled for the oper-
attic concert by Miss Alice Nielsen and
company of grand opera stars, there
was fair sized audience In the Colum,
oia Theater to listen to a program OF
extraordinary merit. Miss Nielsen had
the assistance OF Signor Ramella, Sig
nor Fornari, Signor Taveccha, Signor
Mardones, and Maestro Clandestini, the
latter of whom gave instrumental num-
bers.
No more delightful concert has been
given in Washington this season, and
the miscellaneous program was we'll
CHOSEN and artistically rendered. One
act of Rosslnis Barber of Seville was
given in costume, with piano accompani-
ment, and while the orchestra accom-
paniment was lacking, the offering was
effective, and the costuming particular
ly elaborate.
Miss Nielsen was heard in "Floriani,"
song that Is unusually interesting TO
Washington music lovers. being the
joint composition of Miss Mary r. Cry
der, who wrote the words, and Miss
Ethel Tozler, who wrote the music.
Earlier on the program Miss Nielsen
was heard in the aria from La Tosca, "
which was her most ambitious number
and which was given with charming
| clarity of tone. Miss Neilsen's voice
is fresh and she has a decidedly cap.

bined with her youthfulness, adds ar

While she Is not particularly gifted with

company were exceptionally fine. Later

Massachusetts, Avenue Heights is not
suburb-it is part of the city. Its plan
of development is unusual. A large por-
ton is, as The Evening Star has said "a
city within park" 1t affords renarka-
bic villa sites, with century old trees, in
the heart of residential Washington. This
''ViIla Section" has established a standard
of realty development along the lines of
civic beauty which will make it the most
artistic and talked of residential park in
America. For magnificent home sites it
will be without peer. Its wooded slopes
will be ornanented with the homes of the
nations leaders.
There are, however, smaller lots. These,
with minimum frontage of SO feet, will
be sites for homes less costly but peopled
by Washington's best citizens.

The Washington times., 1912-03-30

The record of Massachusetts, Avenue
Heights during the past year is without
parallel in Washington. In point of inn
provement work accomplished and sales
made it has set new high water mark.
The reason for the unequaled sales record
is the low prices asked. Owing to the
fact that it was necessary to close some of
the estates interested, the Trustees made
the prices so low that this property was as
it is today without question 1.-The Best
Buy in Washington" either as an invest
ment or as location for homes. The public
both in Washington and elsewhere was
quick to seize the opportunity presented.
The sales for the coming season promise
to exceed those of the past twelve months.
