Administrative
Board Work

On motion OF Commissioner Hirsch-
berg the administrative board vester-
day gave permission to w r Tor
renee 10 construct a concrete side
walk adjacent to his property at Alien
avenue and Cary streets. In view Of
the fact that no damages was claimed
by the widening of tho sidewalk at
that point.
Commissioner Folkes had a resolu-
ton adopted. asking the city coun-
ell, through the mayor TO petition
tho legislature the right to use the
corner OF Capitol Square at Ninth
and Capitol streets, so It may be
rounded. and the adjoining street
paved with asphalt blocks.
Commissioner Folkes also offered a
resolution directing the city engineer
to make arrangements with the State
Fair association for the use OF por-
tion OF the fair grounds stables for
quarters for the West End mules and
carts. The city may save money and
time by quartering carts and mules
used in the West End at this place.
1t was conceded that the association
would gladly give the city the space
required.
The clerk of Second market was di-
rected 10 notify all hucksters that
nothing but gas or oil stoves could
be used IN that market. after the eX-
piration OF five days. Otherwise the
license Of any huckster using anything
else will be revoked.
A proposition from the Southern
Railway company and the Virginia
Railway and Power company, con-
corning the erection of the Lester
street bridge, was referred to the city
engineer and the city attorney, II IS
probable that the city will permit the
street car company 10 use the bridge
as II IS being rebuilt-half at a time
SO that no additional structure may
he ecessary--nothing but a cross
over a. each end of the present bridge.
Commissioner Hirschberg offered a
resolution requesting the acting audi
tor to- Il possible, arrange to pay CITY
employees on December 22d. for all
time coming TO them mp to and In
Guiding that day 80 they may have

that excepting certain things to be

must be totally destroyed. One man

The Isaac Pitman Centenary.

From the Springfield Republican.
Sir Isaac Pitman, the centenary of
whose birth was recently celebrated,
is best known as the inventor of the
system of shorthand which in one form
or another is used by the majority of
stenographers in English speaking
countries. Here in America there are
various forms of it, due to the fact
that there has been no such central
lied control as the copyright laws made
it possible to build up in England.
The pioneer work in this country
was largely done by the inventor S
brother. Renn Pitman, who always OBJ
jected to the later innovations counte-
nanced by Isaac, notably the inversion
of the vowel scale to bring zee" at the
bottom with the other close vowel
100 In this, as in other respects, the
Benn Pitman system. which is the ear
Iier Isaac Pitman system with few
improvements, has been strongly con-
servative. but 1t is a very good system.
and is widely used today. The old
vowel scale was kept in several other
American variants. including Graham's,
which is specially notable for its ex-
treme brevity. In Munson shorthand
the revised scale is used, but ticks are
dispensed with and few letters al
tered to permit the use of full-length
strokes as q substitute. These changes
make it a little heavier and, perhaps,
slower, but q corresponding gain in
legibility is claimed. The Eclectic sys-
tenn, worked out by Longley, is a COM
promise, using the revised scale and
various features taken from the Amer
lean varieties.
But ii is important to bear in mind
The Washington herald., 1913-05-08

that all these and many others named
after these authors are merely modes
of writing Isaac Pitman's photography,
and in most cases the differences are
so trifiing that while they make
change Of mode confusing and trouble
some to the writer, anybody who can
read one can quickly learn to read the
Others. The changes are a matter of
personal taste, and none of the i'm
provements can be considered vital.
Undoubtedly there was a very marked
Improvement upon the "soundha
which Isaac Pitman first gave to the
world, but the needed changes were
soon made. and since then the altera-
tons made have been refinements

From the Arecnaut.
Even a chemist, surrounded by all his
scientific laboratory equipment, cannot
distinguish beet sugar from the cane
product. Although derived from different
species of plants, the refined product
from the juice of the cane and beet is
the same in composition, In sweetening
power, in dietetic effect, in chemical re-
action, in all other respects. Further
more, if maple sugar were reboiled and
passed thr ough the process of refining 1t
would lose its aroma and flavor, which
are wholly In the impurities, and the
white crystals would be identical with
those derived from sugar cane and sugar
beets Pure sugar. whether derived from
beet or cane, is as Identical as is pure
