nj, with splendid artistic effect. Mr..

and sings with understanding. Richard
LorIeberg's artistry on the cello is un-
excelled His "Elegie," by Massanet,
with muted strings, and "Gavotte," by
Mozart, were gems of purity, feeling, and
Interpretation. Mr.. Lorleberg Is a master
in technique. William T. Davis rendered
a cornet solo, "Romances sans Paroles"
by Solman, with pleasing effect. Mrs.

a poet was constrained TO ask some

Yesterday there were many prom

Connecticut Avenue and the other pop

answer that occasionally a January
day is able to put II all over some June
days on record.
Furs and wraps seemed almost like
sacrilege yesterday. There was
tingle of spring in the air that made
the church-goers walk slowly and
smile benignly at little children on the
way, and young men were seen 10
swing their canes just a trfhe more
jauntily than they have on some OF the
less pleasant days of the past week.
But be not lulled into an idea Of
eternal security! Put the furs away.
but not out of reach. The Weather
Bureau promises that to-day will be
balmy, but somewhere way out In the
West there Is trouble brewing that Is
going to bring the furs out again in
the Eastern and Southeastern States
by the middle of the week. It will
continue for a day or so, and then by
the end OF the week there will come
another atmospheric change that Is
scheduled to bring snow to the East
ern States.

Yesterday at noon, the thermometer
stood at As degrees, and by 4 o'clock

PROJECT CALLED VISIONARY.
Action Expected on
Bill 10 Change Labrador Current.

The project of Carroll f. Riker, a
mechanical engineer of Brooklyn, N. Y,
TO construct a jetty OF the coast of
Newfoundland to prevent the southwark
drift of icebergs, which is embodied in a
bill introduced in the House Saturday
by Representative Calder, will be taken
under consideration this week by the
House Committee on Naval Affairs. 1t
is the general opinion that the bill will
not be reported favorably.
Commander George F. Cooper, u. S.
N. in charge of the Naval photographic
Office, last night declared that he did
not consider Mr.. Riker's project a prac-
ticable one.
Mr. Riker called on me-" said Com
mander Cooper, and explained his
plans. As ! am not hydraulic engineer.
/ do not care to comment on his project
further than to saym that / do not
regard it as a practicable thing.
"Of course. any investigation of the
currents of the North Atlantic would be
extremely valuable. No matter what
project such a commission as Mr.. Riker
proposes might have in mind, the data
which il would gather on the currents,
the drift of ice, the depth of the water,
and the like. would be well worth
having"

WORK COMMENCED
On the Waterworks and Sew
erage Plant. A Greater Mon
roe in Sight. Keep Boosting.

Considerable of the material for
the Monroe City water works and
sewerage plant has been received,
more is coming in every day and is
being distributed. Work on the
main sewer has been commenced
and about the first of next week
work on the water mains will be
commenced. For putting in the
lateral sewers the council has de-
cided to make only one district,
and the engineer has drawn map
of the proposed district 1t can be
seen at the Southern & Spalding
drug store. 1t is estimated that
each soft lot will be assessed about
$40 to put in these lateral sewers,
and that must be paid by the
owner of the lot. The north line of
the proposed district is the Marion
County line, south on Oak to Cleve-
land, east on Cleveland to Main,
south on Main with a few jogs to
the first alley north of the M. X. &
T. railroad, thence north with some
jogs on East Monroe to Marion
County line. If out of the proposed
district and want in see the Mayor.
When Monroe City has the wa
ter works and sewerage plants in
operation and a 24-hour electric
service you are going to see our
city move forward rapidly. AL
ready many inquiries are being re-
ceived from people who want to
locate here. The natural advan-
tages and railroad facilities are
with US. There is room for more
live, up-to.date people here they
will help make it a better trading
point and will help increase the
number of farmers who trade here.
New labOr-employing enterprises
enterprises will be started and
there will be a steady, general in
crease in the prosperity Of all citi-
zens of Monroe and vicinity.
