trary, 1t goes back to a venerable an.
tiquity. If you will read up on the
subject you will learn that excellent
enamel is still preserved on some Of
the bricks that have been found
among the ruins Of old Babylonia and
Assyria, which have been placed back
as far as the seventh or eighth cen.

made by the Egyptians as early as the
sixth dynasty. The Greeks and Ro.
mans were acquainted with the art of
enameling, as the museums of the
world clearly show. It would pay you
to visit such institutions in our own

Blow at Suicides.

"A pet monkey that shipped up
town this morning was bound on a
most unusual mission for a monkey"
said an animal dealer.
HE was bought by a woman who
runs a furnished room house in which
three persons have killed themselves
with gas recently. Those suicides have
upset her nerves. Now she is going
to try the same preventive means
adopted by three Of her friends.
"They too, keep roomers. Also
they keep monkeys. There have been
several attempts at suicide in their
houses, but they have always been
frustrated by the monkeys, who have
smelled gas and set up such a chat
tering that they woke everybody up.
Monkeys are extremely sensitive
to the odor Of gas. This customer OF
mine hopes to utilize hers as new
kind Of life preserver. Philadelphia

by DR.. Gibbs, it was declared that the
association pledges its support to OBJ

Congress at the earliest possible mo-
ment to provide permanent play

children and people of the Columbia
Heights section
The report also declared: 1--WE are
wholly in accord with the action Of
this association. taken at previous
meetings, when it placed itself on rec
ord by resolutions stating that there
were not enough breathing spaces in
this section of the city and that there
is IA great need of Fairgrounds for the

Federation of Women's Clubs. Miss
FoOte said that there is not park
from Franklin Park to Longfellow
street and that Rock Creek is too far
from the Columbia Heights section to
be available unless a man is in each
party to carry the picnic baskets. On
a warm day, she said, it is practically
out of the question to compel children
to walk from the heights to the park.

by union of forces, and that if such
union were made it could achieve results
in a short time which would be impossi-
bic In a century if the effort was to be
made state by state. The organization of
the Southern Commercial Congress re-
suited from this idea. The fact that with
in three years it has become known
throughout the entire country speaks we'll
for the foresight of the men who con-
cetyed the idea, as we'll as for the active
cooperation they received from the citi-
zens of all of the southern states. The
congress held it's first meeting in Wash
ington In December, 1903, and that city
was chosen as its permanent headauar-
ters.
Without any official guarantee of sup
port by the southern states and without
any money to start with, the Southern
Commercial Congress was Incorporated in
July, 1911, and has now one of the finest
large commercial buildings in the Ma
t1onal Capital \ prominent feature of
TINS building is the spacious exhibit hall
with its sixteen stately columns, repre-
sentinS the sixteen southern states. Along
the walls and around these columns is
space provided for the permanent eXhibi-
ton of the products of the mines, factories
and fields Of the south, and of the attrac-
tive features of the southern cities. AL
though so recently established. there is
no doubt that the exhibit hall of the
Southern building will eventually become
one of the popular places of interest to all
strangers visiting Washington.

CONGRESS.

Thousands Of people from all parts Of
the country are now turning toward
Nashville, drawn thither by the many in
terests represented by the Southern Com
mercial Congress, which will hold its
fourth annual convention in that city
next week. To many persons the term
"commercial' will seem a misnomer as
applied to this congress excepting in it's
broadest sense, for the convention will
embrace every subject which will tend to
help the development Of the construc-
tive progress now being made in the
south. Agriculture in its various depart
ments Is receiving especial attention, and
the men interested in the growing of any
kind Of crops will find in this congress
some aid for their particular needs. Fol
lowing closely upon the week-long ses-
sion Of the Lubin rural finance confer
ence and also the conference for educa-
ton in the south. the commercial con-
gress will derive additional impetus from
each, and its attendance will include
many persons who have taken the jour
hey southwark because of their interest
in finance or education.
AS an organization the Southern Com
mercial Congress is unique. 1t is purely
ethical in It's aims. striving to secure the
highest types Of development for the peo-
pie of the south. morally, mentally and
financially. 1t is not business organi-
zatiOn, and yet 1t promotes business of
every kind. 1t has not foot of land
for sale and yet it creates a demand for
southern land. 1t is not interested in any
educational institution. but it increases
all of the educational facilities Of the
south by bringing together the recog-
nized needs and the means for improving
them. 1t suggests the changes. activities
and uses which should be made in the
south without having any pecuniary in
terest in any project.
