It is worth remembering by those
situated In the more nOrtherly portion
Of the country, where frozen water
pipes are not uncommon during the
winter months, that hot water poured
on frozen pipe will thaw 1t out much
more quickly than will blaze from a
paper or kerosene torch. A good way
to apply the water to the pipe ia to
wind 1t with cloth and then pour on
the hot water.

trying one to those using the road as
wen to those in charge of the work. but
now the difficulties and delays in making
the change from steam to electricity and
at the same time maintaining the opera
ton of the road are at an end. In adj
dition to what might be called the cross

Company also has a line from Clarendon
passing to the north of the military
reservation to the south end of the
Aqueduct bridge.
A further indication of the growth of
population in this section is the recent
issue Of a directory of Alexandria county.
While the preparation and issue of such
q publication was due to the enterprise
of William G. Collins. whose real estate
Office is located in Clarendon, still the
work would not have been undertaken
unless the demands of an increasing CEN
ter had not emphasized the necessity of
some medium Of finding people and know

| It is also observed that there is a
difference in the degree of forwardness

standing side by side. This can be seen
| in the elms along the northern border OF
Lafayette Park and no doubt in other
localities within the city These and other
such deviations from the ordinary course
! which may be noted are attributed to
| the unusual character OF the winter
season which presumably has come to a
close, although it may be said to have
never begun.
Instead of the gradual, steady develop
ment from bud to leaf, it seems as II
the leafing was bursting forth almost
full grown. At any rate, the progress
from the delicate haze of green which
fills the tracery of the branches of the
trees In the evolution of the leaf is not
this year such a distinct stage as Is
commonly the case.
The process appears to have been
fastened, and the preliminary period Of
the leaf before it has fairly assumed
shape or form has been shortened.
However, progress in assuming the
drapery of the spring has an interest
even in the changes brought about by
weather. conditions. and to jewellers in

which is unequaled in any other city OF

splendor that constitutes the chief charm
of the city.

NEW PUBLIC MEN
BUY HOMES HERE
One instance Given of New
conner, Who Believes Values
Will Advance.
OPPORTUNITIES ARE HERE
FOR GOOD INVESTMENTS
Ready Sale in Washington for Prop
critics Purchased as Well as
Possible Profit.

The experience Of one of the newly
elected members Of Congress in solving
the problem of home in this city is in
teresting, If not novel, for this man, after
looking around and noting the nature of
the development of the city, came to the
conclusion that it would be better bust
ness for him to buy a house than to rent
one. At the same time he fully recog-
nized the fact that his stay in the city
was in all probability limited to the time
of the term of six years for which he
had been elected.
Even so. the prospect of leaving the
city finally at the end of six years and
establishing his home elsewhere did not
change his ideas of the practicability of
his plan, for he said at the end of his
public service in this position he would
sell the house and get whatever advan-
values during that period. 1t is quite
evident 1t did not take that member of
the upper house. although a new man in
Washington, very long to see the ten
dency of property values in this city.
is Market Element.
In fact. his estimate OF the city and it's
future is one that constitutes an impor-
tant element in the market for property
in this city, and accounts to a large ex-
tent for the tide Of investment that comes
from outside of the city.
1t does not take long for the average
man of affairs when he comes to this city
and looks around to appreciate that real
estate in this city holds out excellent op-
portunities for good. safe investments
that are capable of being turned over at
a profit in reasonable period of time.
A good deal of the money made in
property in this city in recent years has
come to those who have had but a linn
tied chance to know the city. but who
nevertheless see more clearly the course
of things than sometimes those who
have lived here for years.
Stronger Appeal Made.
1t is natural that to men of this class
the opportunities presented in the bust
ness section Of the city make a stronger
appeal than in the resident portions of
the city. But still If they are to be here
for any length Of time the usual course
for them is to buy rather than rent, for
they realize in such a market there is
ready SALE. as we'll as a possible profit.
In this way 1t Is explained how it is so
many of those who come here to take
public offices, the tenure OF which is apt
to be net more than the term of the adj
ministration, are in the habit of buying
homes.

Analostan, in Potomac River,
to Be Utilized as Site for
Gas Plant.
LETTER PAYS $4,000
Officials of Washington Company Pre-
pare to Manufacture Product
from Coal.
LETTER PAYS $4,000

Joseph Letter, president Of the Wash
ington Gas Light Company. has about
concluded the purchase. for the COM
pany. of Analostan Island. in the Po-
tomac River. near the Aaueduct Bridge
The price to be paid is 5000 The
tract contains seventy-hve acres Of
ground and has never been Of much
practical use.
At one time there was an athletic
track and ice houses. while it was A IA
vored resort of picnickers and fishermen
in early days.
With the price Of oil constantly rising
the officials of the Washington Gas
Light Company have about come to the
conclusion that they will be obliged to
erect a large coal gas plant: and con-
sidering the advantages Of water and
rail transportation right to the island
they have decided to purchase this prop
erty and hold il against any contingency.
Coal gas can he manufactured more
cheaply than where oil is used to
enrich gas to a large extent. The BIZ
products-coke and coal tar dyes-have
greater value. The question Of transpor-
tation by water and rail entered into
consideration when negotiations were
commenced The amusement company
decided that transportation facilities
were against carrying out the intention
OF making an amusement park Of II and
welcomed the prospective purchaser.
May Abandon Old Plant.
It is possible that the Washington Gas
Light Company contemplates fhe neces-
sity for the removal OF their Twenty
sixth Street plant when the extension OF
Rock Creek Park to the Potomac Drive
is completed. =
There is also a feeling in financial
circles that the time is not so far dis
tant when the Public Utility Commits
sion will take steps TO bring about a
union of the two local gas companies
and the Washington Gas Light Company
may be ordered to supply the entire city,
and Analostan Island would give the
most convenient. inexpensive. and favor
able site.
II would be necessary to run mains
under the river, or under the Aaueduct
Bridge, the Rosslyn Gas Company now
having its mains under the bridge, but
not using them for delivering of gas
in the District
1t is expected that the closure will be
but the matter of a few days.

MAKES RHEUMATISM
PROMPTLY DISAPPEAR
Crippled-up Sufferers Find Relief
After Few Doses of Croxone
Are Taken,

II is needless TO suffer any longer with
rheumatism, and be all crippled up, and
bent out of shape with its heart-wrench-
ing pains. when you can surely avoid it
Rheumatism comes from weak, mac
tive kidneys, that fail to filter from the
blood the poisonous waste matter and
uric acid; and II is useless to rub on
lininents or take ordinary remedies to
relieve the pain. This only prolongs the
misery.
The one way to cure rheumatism is to
remove the cause. The new discovery,
Croxone, does this because it neutralizes
and dissolves all the poisonous sub
stances and uric acid that lodge in the
Joints and muscles, to scratch and irri-
tate and cause rheumatism. and cleans
out and strengthens the stopped up, in
active kidneys, so they can filter all the
poison from the blood, and drive it on
and out of the system.
Croxone is the most wonderful medi-
cine ever made for chronic rheumatism,
kidney troubles, and bladder disorders
You will find it different from all other
remedies. There is nothing else on earth
like II. 1t matters not how old you are,
or how long you have suffered, it is prac-
ticalIy impossible to take 1t into your
system without results. You will ind
relief from the first few doses, and you
will be surprised how quickly all misery
and suffering will end.
An original package of Croxone costs
but a trifie at any frst-class drug store.
All druggists are authorised to sell II on

New York, May N.-Because so many

Edward Swami recommending that "the

The grand jury brought in this pre-
