Olaf, the thirteen-year-o son
of Mr.. and Mis-. Knute Wikie, of
Montreal location, met instantdeath
about 10 O'Clock Monday forenoon.
Casper Brigheri, deliveryman for
Joe Raineri, was making his re-
gular trip to Montreal and Olaf
started to ride with him. He oc-
cupied the front seat and while
Mr.. Brigheni was busy with a
customer in one of the residences ii
is thought that the horses made a
sudden start and that Olaf was
thrown from the seat, striking the
ground and falling on his head
with force that his neck was frac-
tured. There were no witnesses
to the distressing accident but this
is thought to have been the way il
occurred. Olaf was a bright young
lad, attended the Montreal school
and on this particular day stayed
away from school in order that he
might accompany the teamster.
Besides his parents he leaves two
brothers and sister. The funeral
took place Thursday with services
at the Scandinavian Hall at Iron.

Boy Scouts and the Encampment.

The District army OF the Boy
Scouts is in action. Whenever there
is public service to be performed. and
faithfully performed. there will the
Boy Scouts. big scouts and little
scouts, be found. According to the
news. the entire force of 1000 Boy
Scouts of the District will take an
active part in looking out for the
comfort of the old soldiers during
the Grand Army jubilee reunion. The
boys will render service as guides.

they will be ready to render first aid

In many OF the extraordinary civic
activities the Boy Scouts are called

pens that they do not wait to be cali

the first sign that their assistance
may be needed. 1t is quite remark

Gardens.

Prizes. credits and honorable men
ton are being awarded for lawns
and gardens in many parts of the
District and especially in the pretty
suburban settlements that, beyond
the region OF brick rows and asphalt
streets, have spread themselves over
the hills and through the fields and
woods around Washington. The
winners OF these awards are probably
very happy folk. Late last winter
and early in the spring they had the
pleasant anticipation of a garden.
Then came the realization of it. Now
comes the formal recognition of this
work by committees chosen to ex-
anime lawns and gardens and to
make due awards. During all the
season these garden owners have
been drawing dividends in health,
pleasure and hopes from their care
fully tended garden plots. They have
had the pleasure OF planning and the
eNe1ClSe VI pldHtill6 dhd SuAei' Atm s.
They have seen the grateful grass
and flowers grow and blossom to
bless their efforts. They have
seen the vegetables sprout, round
out and ripen to deck their
tables with more toothsome food
than ever came from market or from
store. They have had the garden to
gloat on in the morning and the
evening. Even during the hours at
the Office or at the bench their
thoughts have gone back to the gar
den.
That little patch of green turf or
many-colored blossoms or OF rich
and appetizing vegetables has been
a joyful and unfailing topic of con-
versation. That little garden has
given its proud owner and his family
and friends a keener interest in the
weather. The garden is good thing
to look upon and to labor in. 1t is
the garden in the aggregate which
makes the suburbs beautiful, en-
hances the pleasure of living and
adds value to the property.

More Light.

A set OF Illuminating facts on the
growth and development of Wash
lngton was presented to the Illumi-
! mating Engineering Society by Mai.
kutz, Engineer Commissioner of the
District. The facts threw a good deal
OF light on the way Washington is
expanding and improving. Maj. Kutz
was speaking on the subject OF street
lights and street lighting. and COM
pairing the figures of today with
those OF 1895 he said that in that
year Washington had less than $500
street lights, while today, or tonight,
more than $1,000 street lights are at
work. and large proportion OF them
are OF a high power type. In 1906
there was in effect what was called a
moonlight schedule when in
certain parts of the District street or
road lights were not considered nee
essary. In this twenty-year period"
Maj. kutz said. the population of
the city has increased 45 per cent,
whereas the lighting facilities have
increased I43 per cent
The increase in street lights shows
that Washington is not only fast
and steady growing city. but also
that it is becoming a better lighted
city. In the latter particular there
remains much room for improvement
and there are yet many rather dimly
lighted streets that should be bright
by night. Because of Improvement
in lighting systems. and other rea-
sons, citizens are asking for and are
deserving OF more light than former
ly. The era of dim-lighted city
streets is quickly passing.

Government
Inventors.

Government ments is himself an
r.A~ inventor of ability and
prolif1cness. Dozens Of
instruments and articles and substances
and processes have been invented by
the governments experts in various
fields and have added to the accuracy
Of scientists and the wealth and COM
fort of laymen. The public was given
a glimpse of the valuable possibilities
in the discoveries Of government scien-
fists few months ago when it was
announced that a chemist in the bureau
of mines had discovered a laboratory
process that would double and even
triple the amount of gasoline that can
be obtained from a given quantity of
crude petroleum. Announcement has
since come that the process is being
successfully worked out on a CONNER
cial basis. and it Is probable, therefore,
that the public may before long be
getting direct returns in q decrea sed
price Of gasoline.
In the last week or so announcement
has been made of another invention b.,
government experts. which. though it's
effect on the consuming public will not
be SO direct. will make possible the
further standardizing of the great en-
cheering and building Industries ard

ton is of an apparatus for determining

cement to finer point, and careful
experiments were. therefore. begun by
the bureau of standards. These re-
suited in the production of the new
"air analyzer" which consists of a
vertical brass pipe about three inches
in diameter and five feet long, to the
bottom of which is attached glass bulb
in which is placed the sample of
cement. Air at constant pressure is
then introduced through a nozzle in the
side of the bulb. The fine cement
flour is carried up the stack by the
escaping air and Is caught in a flannel
hood at the top. The percentage of
coarse material in the sample is de-
termined by weighing the residue and
comparing it with the weight of the
original sample. Different grades are
obtained by using nozzles of different
Sizes BY slight modification of the
apparatus it is possible to obtain
analyses of various other powdered and
granular substances such as ground
quartz, emery. other abrasives, paint
pigments, plasters. clays and similar
materials.
