federal soldiers from the Juarez garri-

fired and he was struck over the right

capacity houses giving a welcome to

Queens Of Paris" in a new version OF
We, Us & Co." The popular Ninth
street theater has been refurnished
throughout, and Manager Peck was
showered with congratulations on the
successful beginning Of the new sea-
son.
Harry. Koler, Alfred Hall. and Harry
Morton never appeared to better ad-
vantage, and they were assisted by one
OF the largest and best balanced bur-
lesque companies that has been seen In
Washington for some time. The COS
tunes are elaborate. and the entire per-
formance is given with a dash and vim
that wins approval from the start.
The two-act comedy presented is in

bers, and those who assist in making
the performance a gala .one include the
old Gayety favorite, Fannie Vedder,
whose dancing with Harry Evans is one

SIDDONSFORNEW
JUVENILE COURT
Commissioner FavorS Erection
of Permanent Structure to
House Tribunal.

Commissioner F. L. Siddons is
strongly in favor of the erection of a
permanent building for the Juvenile
Court of the District. and he charac-
terizes the present quarters as
wholly inadequate" for the purposes
of that tribunal.
"I earnestly hope that Congress
will see fit 10 make an appropriation
sufficient to provide for a building
for the Juvenile Court" said the
Commissioner when discussing the
needs of the court today.
Present Quarters Inadequate.
1T Is a mistake. l believe, for the
Government to rent quarters for its Off
ces or its courts. when by Investing a
little capital 1t can buy buildings suited
exactly to IT'S purposes on which it need
nay no rent fees. that in the aggregate
cost more than the building.
The Juvenile Court should by all
means De properly housed nave seer
the present quarters, and they are
wholly Inadequate for the purposes of
the court. This present building was
erected for a residence, and never in
tended to be used as II is at present,
and the need for new quarters is most
urgent.
The Monday Evening Club and other
prominent organizations have condemn
I'd the present quarters and pointed out
The need for better detention facilities,
in which fully agree.
Work Hardship on All.
AS nov arranged, the quarters work
q hardship on the court officers and the
defendants as well. My understanding
IS that the matter of an appropriation
for a new building rests entirely with
Congress, and l am very hopeful that
1t will tai5e the matter up at an early
date"
The Times feels that the need of
new court building is most vital, and
that all Washington is interested in the
matter" said the interviewer.
You are dong a good work, as I
have noticed" said the Commissioner.
1t is something that concerns every per-
son in the CITY,

COMPTROLLER'S CALL
SURPRISES BANKERS
Treasury Official Issues Call
For Statement of Banks
Condition For Aug. g.

Washington bankers today were sur
prised to receive a call from the Comp
troller of the Currency for the condition
CT the banks on Saturday. August g.
No call was expected by bankers until
next month, so that there was no op-
portunity for window dressing, This,
coupled with the duIIest season of the
year, will not enable the banks to make
very favorable showing as compared
with the previous two calls.
As a rule, though there are excep-
tions. the local banks, and, 1t is as
sumed, banks over the country, will not
show up so well in their statements
soon to be filed as they would IL the call
had come a month later, as expected.
1t is believed by some bankers that
the policy of the Treasury Department
will be to make call on the national
banks every two months, making six
calls a year, instead of the customary
Eve The last call was made two months
and five days ago. There were calls
also on April and February 1.
There were barely half a dozen brokers
on the Washington Stock Exchange at
its meeting today. The volume of busi-
ness continued small and price changes
were unimportant. Twenty shares of
Washington Gas sold at S4h, but s4
Forty shares of Railway preferred sold
at SSh, and four shares OF the common
at 81. The only other business con-
sisted of two shares of Capital Traction
at 116 and two shares of Mergenthaler
at 211B.

COLLEGE BROOKINGS.
SILAGE JUICE.

To determine whether silage juice
"eats up" the walls of cement silos Is
the object Of an important expert
ment just concluded by Guy e.
Youngberg, assistant chemist of the
Experiment Station at Brookings
Juice which was collected from cem-
ent silos last February was found to
contain substances dissolved from
cement, especially calcium. The juice
had been In the silo about five months
The acidity of this juice was also
found to be one-third less than norm
al, showing that this amount Of the
acid had been neutralized.
Mr.. Youngberg allowed pieces Of
cement block to stand for fifteen days
in a definite VOLUME Of newly express
ed silage juice. The acidity of the
juice had decreased appreciably while
the blocks showed a dissolution Of
ive-tenths of n per cent los of mt
percent) in weight.
Concerning the fear that perhaps
cement should not be used in silo
construction, Mr.. Youngberg: Glow
ever, In taking note of a number Of
factors that enter in, such as the con-
tact with the walls of only a part Of
all the juice in the silo, the slow rate
of diffusion through the corn silage,
the accumulation of juice at the bot
tom of the silo, the period during
which sifo is filled, e to-, one must
not be too hasty in drawing a conclu-
sion against the cement building.
Our conclusion is that after consid-
ering all the factors as we'll as observ-
ing the condition of the silos on the
College farms which have been In use
now for two and three years, that al
though silage attacks the walls it
will take at least Is to 20 years to
render a silo useless on that account.
The deterioration will take place
mainly at a near the bottom where
a water-logged or ~juice-logg ed condi-
tion exists at a depth of 5 to 10 feet.
Recoating or plastering with cement
or other material could be resorted to
every few years."
