at it,
Thinking him a possible rescuer
Gloria turned on him one of her
ninety candlepower smiles. The eff

pected. Katcalani was dazzled He
blinked then turned his eyes on the
smoky Indian maidens clustered about.
Each Of them had ambitious dreams
of being his wife But shabbily as
Gloria was dressed she was a tearing
beauty in any company. Compared
to the unkempt daughters CT the ever
glades she was a goddess.
Katcalanis heart beat with new
kind of excitement He resolved to
begin his new chieftainship with an
act Of courage. He would defy not
only the men, but even the women!
He seized Gloria's hand and shouted:
eff boy is squaw he is my squaw."
Gloria did not understand the mean
ing of this But she saw that it had
not endeared her to the Indian women.
They murmured their wrath and would
have struck her down if Katcalani had
not protected her. She drew closer
to him and he took that for consent.
They led her into the village. a
huddled group of palmetto leaves.

sent the dead chiefs horse on the long
road to the happy pastures. Then
she returned to prepare Gloria for the
honor of becoming the wife of the
chief. She led her into her own hut

little sewing machine She had
bought it with the proceeds OF rattle
snake skins she had sold to tourists
in the village along the railroad. She
promised Gloria that some day if she
were good she might be allowed to
play on the machine. The squaws
idea of being good consisted largely
of doing heavy labor. The first duty
of wife was to gather wood for the
fire. She set Gloria to work.

IRVING STREET HOMES
MODELS OF COMFORT
Twenty-four Residences Overlooking Zoo
Built and Sold in Single Year-Big
Operation Is Completed

Workmen are putting the finishing
touches on the last two houses on Irv-
ing street, overlooking Geological
Park. and with the completion of
these residences the operation which
was started a little more than a year
ago will be completed.
In all twenty-four handsome homes
have been built, the larger number
being sold before they were COM
pIeted. and none now remain un-
sold.
Built in group arrangement, the
homes rank with the handsomest in
Washington. in construction. in in
ternal arrangement and planning. ex-
ternal appearance and location. Fac
ing the Zoo. the homes overlook a
broad stretch of park and government
reservation, affording a magnificent
view, and with the assurance that no
houses ever will be erected facing
them. The properties extend from 18th
and Irving streets around the sweep
ing curve of the latter street. and at
the lower extremity are within what
might be called a stones throw of
Rock creek.
The houses are arranged in groups
Of four, five and six. this arrangement

ment as to architecture. material. etc,
while the end houses in each group
have the additional advantage of broad

yards. The exposure is south and
southwest
Brick and stone has been used in the
construction. some of the groups being
of graybuff brick. with stone trim
ming 10 match, while others are of a
dark red tapestry brick, with light
stone trim. All of the houses have
broad cement porches. and all are ar
ranged to permit the use of rear
porches as outdoor sleeping rooms
The houses are built on a relatively
high terrace that raises them above
the level of the sidewalk. while the
paved alley at the rear is on level
with the back of the houses. The ter
race yards are inclosed with rough
stone walls built of the Potomac
granite that is quarried from the hills
nearby.
Arrangement of the homes varies
widely. though most of them have
the reception halls. with upper floor
arrangements roomy and at the same
time compact. The deep. broad, prac-
tical fireplaces that are features of the
living rooms are sources of delight to
purchasers. as most home buyers spot"
these fireplaces at once and express
satisfaction at the prospect of open
fire on chilly autumn and spring even
ings, when the temperature is too low
to permit doing without any warmth
and not cool enough to make furnace
heat necessary.
The homes are heated with hot water
and the plumbing, lighting. etc. are of
the most modern and approved types.
Kennedy Brothers were the builders
OF the properties.

water for twenty-four hours, wiping it
dry with a few rapid strokes of clean
cloth and then reweighing il. The
weight of water absorbed will indicate
the porosity. 1t is true that the water
may not penetrate all the pores, but the
test is sufficiently accurate for most
purposes.
The bricks used in architecture
should be moderately porous, as other
wise water condenses from the air. and
the resultant water collects in drops on
the inside of the walls. spelling the
wall paper and giving the impression
that the building is damp. If the pores
are sufficiently minute the bricks may
be as highly porous as possible. The
more porous they are the better will
the walls breathe Bricks with large

coarse pores should be avoided. as they
admit rain water too easily and walls
in which they are used often remain
permanently damp"

How Bricks Are Tested.

"A simple test for porosity consists
in holding the tongue lightly in contact
with the brick. If distinct suction is
felt the brick will be very porous: II no
appreciable suction is apparent, but the
moisture rapidly dries from the sur
face Of the brick. 1t is but slightly porous
Engineering and non-porous bricks will
not absorb water. even If poured onto
them. a
"A much better test consists In
weighing dry brick. immersing it in

Absorption by Brick.

they vary greatly in this respect. En-
ginsering bricks absorb less than l
per cent Of their weight of water. For
all ordinary purposes. therefore, IL is
not desirable to designate bricks which
absorb less than Is per cent of their
weight of water, on immersion, as par
ticularly porous.
During the past few years the use
Of hollow blocks and hollow bricks has
extended rapidly. These are much
lighter than solid bricks and effect an
important saving in railway carriage,
but they must be distinguished from
porous bricks. The weight alone Is not

Methods of Determining Porosity
and Absorptive Power.

The definition of porosity with re-
spect 70 building bricks has recently
been the subject of some discussion
and a matter of wide interest. In re-
gard 20 the matter a correspondent
of the London Building World offers
the following comments:
With the exception of engineering
bricks. all ordinary building bricks
are somewhat porous: that is to say
they will all absorb water, though the
amount so retained in the pores
varies greatly with different bricks.
I'm the south Of England the aver
age amount of water absorbed by
bricks during complete immersion Is
about l2 per cent OF the weight of the
brick North of the Trent and in
Wales somewhat denser brick are
usual, and the average water absorp-
tion is seldom over per cent of the
weight of the brick.

PRESIDENTIAL POINTERS

A meeting OF abnlitiunists held
at Warsaw, n. Y. in lN@', had
nominated James G.. Birney for
president and Francis J, Le'
moyne for vice president. The
nominations were confirmed by
a convention, ostensibly nation
al, that met at Albany, April l.
1910, and here the name LID

platform was the abolition OF
slavery. On August 80. 1874. the
national convention OF the party
met. The topic OF greatest IN
terest at that time was the an
nexation OF Texas. and the con
sequent increase in our slave
territory. After 1874 the party
did not again name its own can
didates. In 1S4S and 1852 they
supported the Free Soil party
and thereafter the Republicans.
