Fewer Old Contractors.

From Construction News.
When competitive bids for the con-
struction of buildings are opened many
new men are found in line with bids

Or have been forced to surrender un-
conditionally on account Of the present
system, under which profits to a con-
tractor are practically impossible.

course Of construction. It will be ready
for occupancy for the fall term, it is
stated.
Capitol Heights is bisected by the
military road connecting Annapolis and
Washington. That portion which passes
through the suburb is known as Central
avenue. Recently the roadway was
given a concrete surface for distance
two and a half miles east of the Dis
trict line, which makes it one of the
best roads near Washington.
Capitol Heights occupies a rolling sec
ton Of country which makes it suscep-
tible to artistic development, and pro-
vides good drainage. Adjoining most
of the homes in the suburb are small
vegetable gardens. which are playing an
important part in the reduction of the
cost of living for their respective own
ers. The suburb having been developed
along lines which have appealed to the
home builders of limited means. the
majority of the houses in the community
are owned by their occupants.

BY J. CROSBY MCCARTHY.

Just across the Maryland-D District line
in Prince Georges county and fronting
on tho southeast boundary Of the federal
territory is Capital Heights. a suburb of
modest homes designed to meet the
needs Of home builders Of limited cir
cumstances.
This suburb was first thrown open for
development about ten years ago. At
that time practically all the land in
cluded in the tract was in an extremely
rough state. There were no roads of
any consequence and but few houses.
Today Capitol Heights has a popula-
ton Of about 1000 inhabitants. It is an
incorporated town Of the state of Mary
land. and has its mayor and town coun-
Gil. The interests of the residents Of the
community also are looked after by an
efficient citizens association. Co-opera-
ton between this association and the
council recently brousht about the in
stallation Of electric lights throughout

1t was not much more than fifty years
ago that the volunteer fire brigades were

community depended on them for what

rather on the venerable institution OF the
fire brigade and the undoubted promi-

A Girl Exile in Siberia.

Sentenced to Siberia for life, Marie
Sukloff now at twenty-eight years of
age n Of the most feared Of Russian
revolutionists, began as a girl Of eigh-
teen h immemorial march to exile
first made by the priest, Avvakum, in
1858 and increasingly trod eve since
by the feet Of religious and political
nonconformists, until the yearly aver
age Of exiles has swelled to 20, O0O!"
Her experiences are sketched in The
Survey by Winthrop D. Lane. In the
village Of AleXandrovskoye 5000 miles
from home and $50 miles from a rail-
way station, many of the villagers
were prone to regard all exiles as dan
gerous and bad SO her prospects for
co~mpanionship seemed slight"
The government gave her eight
rubles a month, or four dollars, for
living expenses. The vigilance Of the
officials toward her. very constant at
first, was relaxed as the days went by.
She seemed too young and timid to
escape. Once again the government
was being blind. 1t had made her a
reVolutionist; it did not know to what
lengths she would go. One night,
three months after her arrival al AL
exandrovskoye, she was helped by
peasants to get safely Of the viii
lage.
"She started to walk home. but
again the peasants came to her aid.
For fifty cents they let her ride a long
way in their carts, and this became
the chief mode Of travel. Much Of
the journey was made at night. Viii

moments those taking part knelt in
prayer. Curious. indeed, was the eff
feet OF those halting journeys, pro-
ducing a n Of devotion ~profounder
than that of the ceremonial at the
grotto. 1t seemed to stay feverish
anxiety and awaken a calm and more
confronting assurance. Fervour was
hushed to a thrilling silence.
The Supeme Hou.
It raj even such a. silence that
geeted the procession Of the Sacra-
ment four hours later in the square of
the Chapel of the Rosary. Again the
sick were laid out on their stretchers
and hand carriages, side by side. Again
the vast crowds knelt in an agony
Of faith, Of suspense, and Of supplica-
ton. Again that cry broke forth,
80 full of hope, triumph, and despair,
Jesus, son of David, have mercy on
US! Mary, Mother Of God, pray for
us!" Again the golden monstrance,
holding the Sacred Wafer, was lower
ed in blessing upon each n in turn
chant swelled in subdued cadence,
Ave! Ave! Ave! Martial" This
at last was the supreme hour, the
moment Of moments.
And what of the sick and disease?
Once more 1t is not possible to say.
There was no startling cure, such as
has undoubtedly occurred at this place
from time to time; no casting away
Of crutches; no sudden deliverance
from blindness or paralysis; yet a
great miracle without question was
the expression on every face, the en-
Tightening Of souls which seemed to
transcend all pain, a joy that was
clouded by no shadow of disappoint-
ment. That. indeed, Is for me, at any
rate, the unforgettable experience Of
Lourdes. With the haunting echo OF
the "Ave!" and the picture Of the
great torchlight professions like a
fiery serpent winding among the dim
trees and under lofty towers, there
will ever be associated in my mind a
vision Of faith great enough to seek
and to expect miracles, yet in the
hour, as it might be, of reaction and
disappointment, steadfast, abiding,
u~nshakable.

Fargo and Jamestown Ministers
Indorse F. c. Heffron for
Attorney General
Fargo, N. D.. June 10, 191

Fargo, N. d. June 10, 1914.
ITO the voters:
For five years past F. G. Hebron of
Dickinson, as a special Assistant At
torney General has enforced the prohi-
bition law in the southwestern part
of the state, and has succeeded in
Z: closing the open saloons which exist
ed in that section until he commenced
in 1909. For the criminal part of this
work he has received no pay from the
state, or any one. He is now a candi-
date for Attorney General at the re-
publican primaries on a platform of
statewide enforcement Of the laws of
the state.
We believe the time has come for
North Dakota to emphatically say to
the violators Of the prohibition,
gambling and bawdy house laws that
they must quit-and in no way can
this notice be given to such criminals
in a n they will absolutely I'M
derstand, as by the nomination and
election Of Mr.. Heffron.
BY reason of what he stands for,
what he has accomplished, his past
services, and what his election will
mean to the state, Mr.. Heffron's can
didacy becomes the direct concern of
every believer in the prohibition and
other moral laws and their enforce
ment. We therefore urge all voters
who believe in what he advocates and
puts into practice to vote for F. C..
Heffron for Attorney General.

summers the playground department
has conducted a camp accommodating
boys and men in July and girls and
women in August.
This proved so successful that the
playground commission determined to
secure a permanent site. A beautiful
location was found in the federal gov
eminent forest reserve in the San
Bernardino mountains. With the ap-
prevail Of the secretary of agriculture,
% acres of land nave been leased by
the federal government to the city of
Los Angeles for a nominal sum-$10
a year.
THE camp site is at an elevation
Of 5000 feet, and is partially cover
ed by a heavy growth of pines. The
surrounding mountains provide mag
nificent scenery and opportunity for
many delightful short trips. An ex-
cellent automobile road makes trans
portation from Los Angeles easy.
BASED on experience in the camp as
conducted during the past three sum
mers, the playground commission ex-
poets to furnish transportation and
board for two weeks at a cost Of $3.50.
This amount will actually cover all ex-
pense except the cost of original i'm
~provements and plant and the salaries
OF tnoSe IN charge. IneS6 items vii
be met by the city.
Before summer a rustic building
to be used as kitchen and store room
will be erected. Later a screened din
ing room will be added. Tents with
wooden floors will be provided-large
enough to accommodate four campers
each. A swimming pool will be part
of the first years equipment.
"At the head of the work the com
mission will place it's best playground
director, a lar of broad experience in
camp life. He will be in charge
throughout the entire season. Dur
ing the remainder of the year the
camp will he open for parties who wish
to make use of it for weekend trips
holidays and vacations"
