CerfQin-t teed
Roofing

takes "its place in the sun" and holds it longer
than other similar roofing, because it is made
of the very best quality roofing felt, thoroughly
saturated with the correct blend of soft asphalts,
and coated with blend of harder asphalts.
This outer coating keeps the inner saturation
soft, and prevents the drying out process SO
destructive to the ordinary roof.
The blend of asphalts used by The General"
is the result of long experience. 1t produces
a roofing more pliable than those which have
less saturation, and which are, therefore,
harder and drier.
At each of the Generals big mills, expert
chemists are constantly employed to refine,
test and blend the asphalts used; also to expert
ment for possible Improvements. Their constant
endeavor is to make the best roofing still better.
The quality of CERTAIN-TEEDi is such that
it is guaranteed for S, 10 or Is years, according
to thickness Il, 2or 3 Ply. Experience proves
that it lasts longer. Behind this guarantee is the
responsibility of the worlds largest manufac-
turer of roo6ngs and building papers.

Of the dogtooth violet, yellow adder's
tongue and fawn lily. All through the
meadows and thin woods the blue vio-
let's and the white are growing, and the
buttercups, the Virginia cowslip, or the
bluebell. and the grape hyacinth are
lending their color to the scene.
The woods are quickly changing from
gray and brown to vivid green and the
golden inforescence Of the spice bushes
is giving place to the pink and white
of the Judas tree or red bud, and the
dogwoods. Soon the pinxter flower will
light the forest underground, and along
the slopes of the ravines the kalmia or
"mountain laurep will unfold it's bloom.
The roadsides are merry with the white
flowers of the cherry and the pear and
the peach trees are touching the coun-
tryside with pink. Even the old locust
trees, more beloved for ruggedness than
symmetry, are dressed in dropping clus-
ters of white flowers and the sweet odor
of these blossoms fills the air.

Clara Barton Memorial.

Sentiment favoring an impressive and
expressive memorial to Clara Barton is
strong. One evidence Of the strength
Of this feeling was the demonstration
that was evoked in the course Of the
proceedings Of the D. A. r. Congress
by the proposal that a memorial to Miss
Barton be placed in the building now
being erected in honor of the women
Of the civil war A recommendation was
adopted by the D. A. r. that the Presi-
dent Of the United States should be
asked to suggest to the commission erect
ing the building that a suitable me-
morial to Miss Barton, the founder Of
the American Red Cross, be placed with
in the structure. The numerous worthy
public services Of Miss Barton were re-
called. It was set forth that she was a
charter member Of the D. A. R., an Off
Ger of the first two national boards and
honorary vice president general, and
that she performed great services dur
ing the civil war and afterward in ma
tional disasters. The proposal that a
fitting memorial be dedicated to Miss
Barton finds response in hearts through
out the United States. and is contem
plated with especial sympathy by the
thousands of Washington people who
knew her well.

Willow Tree Playground.

The unveiling of drinking fountain
in Willow Tree alley playground by q
patriotic society is a strong reminder
of the great change for the better which
has been brought about in that neigh
borhood. For more than one genera
tion and until recently the site of the
Willow Tree playground was one Of the
unlovely districts of Washington, both
in matters of sanitation and morals. Duo
TO a fine public spirit this district has
been reclaimed and now instead Of be-
ing noisome and requiring much atten-
tion from the police it Is a place where
children play and their elders enjoy sun
light and fresh air. This section was of
no particular usefulness to itself and a
burden upon and a menace to the whole
city. The making over Of the quarter
into public playground was one of the
steps in the upward course Of the capi-
tai. 1t may be that there are other
Willow Tree alleys in the city which
might be similarly reclaimed

point merely as a form. They know
what the matter is-that a presidential
campaign approaches, and that the
President as his party's candidate again
wants, and will need, all the votes he
can get, and is playing for them in po-
litical fashion.

The Spring Sightseeing.

Washington is now receiving its Eas-
ter holiday guests in great numbers.
Thousands of people are coming here,
some passing through on their way
north from southern resorts. others hav-
ing come specifically to see the capital.
All of them are having delightful time.
There is no better season of the year
for seeing Washington-in fact. from
now until the middle of May this city
is perhaps at its best, though this year
the season has been little backward
and the trees and shrubs are not as
fully developed as usual. Washington is
not, however, exclusively an outdoor
city from the tourists point of view.
1t has SO many attractions within the
walls of the public buildings that it is
independent of the climate in this re-
spect. As matter of fact, Washing
toms tourist season may be said to start
at any date on the calendar, and
to last for twelve months. There is
not a week in the year in which VS.
itors are not coming in numbers. Just
now the inflow is especially heavy, as
large groups of people take advantage
of the holidays to make the expedition,
which is regarded as one of the patri-
otic duties of every American. 1t is al
ways more interesting to tourists to see
Washington while Congress is in session,
for thus they gain direct idea of the
workings of the government, more def
mite perhaps than an inspection of the
administrative Offices. Year by year
Washington draws larger numbers of
sightseers, and annually it adds to its
attractions in more fully developed
parks or in new buildings. The Latest
addition out of doors is the eastern sec
ton of Potomac Park, which, however,
is yet to be brought to its full state.
By another year, perhaps, the Lincoln
Memorial, now rising on the banks Of
the river, will have been completed. Pos
sibly by then even the Grant Memorial
will be finished.

buff to Tammany when shortly the or
ganization viii count for so much in
his calculationsf Why deliver smash
ing blow to Mr.. Murphy and his friends
when all of them will be expected to
take the field for the party ticket in a
few months in as good shape as pos
siblef
And then the President in the matter
of party organizations could not afford
to play favorites. Roger Sullivan as the
head of the Illinois democratic organi-
zation, and Senator Taggart as the head
of the Indiana democratic organization,
are going to ST. Louis to help renomi
nate Mr.. Wilson, and later will use
their organizations to the utmost to
help re-elect him. Why, then, discrimi-
nate against Charles F. Murphy and his
organization, and particularly as New
York is so much more important in the
party equation than either Illinois or
Indianas
There is no more illogical or amusing
person than one who has detected IN
his idol what he takes to be clay feet.
They may have been very plain to
everybody else, but when they first ap-
pear to the worshiper he loses all rever-
ence and composure, and lays about him
like one possessed. The measure of his
indignation is the measure of his pre-
vious obsession.

The Flower Season.

The fields and the woods around
Washington are telling the story of
spring. The great mystery of the rise
of sap and the unfolding of leaves and
flowers is going on. 1t is one Of those
mysteries of LIFE which make men meek
and humble and turn their thoughts
toward the Supreme Intelligence which
puts color and perfume in the smallest
blossom and whirls stupendous suns
along their orbits through unending
ages.
All through the woods are the pure
white flowers Of the bloodroot, the dain-
ty saxifrage on its tall scape, the gen.
tie spring beauty with its golden stamens
and red anthers, the white wood anem-
one, the clustering rue anemone, the
delicate bluets and that wondrous yell
low flower that lives under the names

Extension of Munition Plants

Extension of the government mum
tion plants at and near Washington is
in contemplation. and the hope of Amer
leans interested in having this country
placed in position to defend itself
against insult and aggression is that the
plans for enlarging the output of the
local plants will be carried into effect
1t is announced that an enlargement of
the plant at the Washington navy yard
to cost approximately 100000 will in
all probability be provided for in the
naval appropriation bill, and that there
are in contemplation large and impor-
tant additions to the plant at Indian
Head, where it is proposed to erect three
new powder drying houses, soda store
house and fire protection system.
The gun plant of the Washington
navy yard and the powder making plant
at Indian Head are national factories,
the value and efficiency of which are
above dispute. Their product in guns
and powder is equal to the best in the
world, and there are those who insist
that the navy yard guns are the best,
size for size, on sea or land, and that
the Indian Head powder leads all others
in power and reliability. The output
of these factories can be largely in
creased without greatly increasing ex-
penditure. The plants and the organi-
zation are there. The output can be
vastly enlarged without greatly inereas
ing the overhead charges.
