Character of National Capi- tai Is Rapidly Changing
 as City Grows.
CITY OF FINE HOMES
Already Capital of Western Hemf- spere, Washington Becoming In. tellectual and Artistic
 Center. :.
(Rv Sidney EsDey.)

Washington, May S.-The character of Washington is changing. The capi- tai of the United States is becoming in the genuine sense of the word, the capital of the western hemisphere. Not only that; it is becoming one of the great internationa cosmopolitan cities of the world. It has been since it's founding the governmental center of the United States; now it Is also becoming the intellectual and tha artistic center.
 The city now has a richer oppor- tunity than any before vouchsafed to an American municipality. In the past two decades it has developed inI to a beautiful urban community, more European than American in it's general architectural aspects. It's present beauty, however, is only the prelude of what it will be in the near future. Its present significance to 'Americans is likely to be vastly in- creased when the nation realizes that it is in fact, as well as in name, the Athens of America,"-th gathering point not only of domestic politicians, but of Americans from our northern boundary to the straits of Magellan
 The Pan-American character of the city has been emphasized by the recent conference of neutrals here. at which the United States and the Latin American nations discussed ways and means of freeing the waters of the western hemisphere from the burden of the war raging abroad. It will again be emphasized this month when a Pan-American financial con ference is to be heldehere. This con ference will have the highest bearing on the development of American trade in South America, where Europe has formerly been dominant.
 The international aspect of the city has been illustrated many times, but if the United States has any share in restoring peace to Europe assuredly Washington will command the eye of the world for the time being. It is now the nerve-center of the neutral opinion and sentiment of the world In it's departmental cloisters and studies the policies for the guidance of all neutral nations have been formulated, for all nations not engaged in the struggle have looked to the United States for lead ership. t-
 The government of the United States is today one of the greatest Organizations of the world, and Wash ington is it's visible and concrete symbol. The building of great man. sions is going on apace, and today the most beautiful residential sec ton in America is in Washington.
 The artistic future of the city, how ever, is in the hands of the govern. ment, and although no great projects are being undertaken, owing to the present reign of economy. it is only a question of time when they will be. The construction of the Lincoln me morial will be the first architectural adornment the city has received in some years. but it is to be followed by many others.

In washing car will mixture of gasoline and water cut the grease? # so, how should it be applied?
 No doubt the addition of gasoline to the water in connection with sponging the car will efficiently aid ill the cut ting of the grease. It would have to be applied either in q spray or sponge. as these are the only two practical methods of mixing it ill such q way that it would combine closely enough to form suitable mixture for clean ing. Kerosene is also frequently used in this manner with success.

Can an expert gain any advantage by changing from automatic to hand control in a battery ignition systeSa?
 A skilled driver might get better re. suits with hand control of the spark than could be obtained with the automatic type of ignition control for the reason that grade climbing can be accomplished much easier and the loads of the motor considered. In oth- CT words. the driver can shift his spark to suit road and motor condi- lions and thus get the highest eficien- cy at all times.
