house in 14o5 Decatur street which
he secured through N. L. Sansbury
from John F. Robb. The home is a
large, detached. nine-room house with
modern appointments and q large
garage.
One of the houses built two years
ago by Henry Wardman has been
sold to Bond F. Geddes. 1t was for
merly owned by Robert B. Swops.

house at 1122 Lamont street 1t has
a two-story garage.
The proper housing of a commu-
nifty, when many people want to live
conveniently close to the central sec
tion, has received the attention of the
best thinkers through all ages.
To the north along Georgia avenue,
in the, vicinity of Rock Creek Park,
there are many homes of the kind
that Government worker can easily
secure, and they are located where
the conditions of health and comfort
are more than excellent
Many good builders have sought
the Georgia avenue locality, and pur-
chasers have always been ready to
invest about the time the houses were
completed. Such was the growth of
SauPs Addition and the newer groups
that they are practically an eastern
extension with all the good points Of
this popular residential section on
the hills.
This new group will soon be placed
on the market by n. L. Sansbury.
The houses have six rooms and a
sleeping porch, with all the modern
appointments.

ing on the recent interview given by
Admiral Won Hintze. the German for
eign secretary. in which he laid re-
sponsibility for the continuation OF
the war on the entente, the Frank

The daily increasing influence of

Importance. Any sign Of desire for
an understanding on the part Of the
European allies is counterbalanced
by the war craze OF the United

Old Age
R. F.-What causes senility ant
death from old age?

X. F-What causes senility and
death from old age?
Science has so far found no satisfac
tory solution of this problem. Accord
ing to the theory advanced by the noted
professor of the Pasteur Institute in
Paris, the late Dr. Eli E. Metchnikoff,
we grow old and decrepit and ultimate
ly die because of the atrophy of the
principal organs Of the body. Our prin-
cipal organs, such as the brains, the
liver and the kidneys are made up of
two kinds of tissue-viz., the so-called
"conjunctive tissue" which serves as a
woof and framework, and the "noble
element" consisting of cells character
istic of the particular organ and per-
forming its functions.
Now, the essential cause of old age
is the decay Of these noble elements
and their replacement by an excessive
increase of the coniunctive tissue. Un-
der the influence of this process the
organ indurates, dries up, and, as a
consequence, performs its function
only insufficicntly, and ultimately stops
functioning altogether.
To understand this process q knowl-
edge Of the structure of the body is
necessary. Like every living organism,
the human body consists Of fedora
tion of living cells. each of which has
it's individual existence, but all work
ing for the common good. This "cellu-
lar state" is subject to the same laws
as obtain in all human society. We
find there the division Of labor as well
as associations for the performance OF
certain work, a caste system, peace and
war, organization for the defence
against the external foe. the predomi-
nation Of the strong and the elimina-
tion of the weak. 1t has also, like the
national state, we'll organized army
made up of the white corpuscles of the
blood. Their task consists in defend.
ing the territory against the invasion
of the microbes, those arch-enemies OF
the living organism.

then third; and the three we're SO
close together that they were con-
founded in a single deep-toned roar
Under the force of the concussion a
window was shattered. The officer
slammed the door and said:
"Have you cellar here? Come with
me-"
He went down first. The soldiers,
the prisoner and the old people fol-
lowed.
Suddenly there was an explosion so
formidable that the roof of the cellar
ened from its hinges, bumped down the
staircase, step by step. For minute
detonations succeeded one another,
above them and around them, throw
ing them on the cellar floor in a heap
Some hours later the bombardment
slackened and died away. They got
upon their feet. 1t was getting light. The
soldiers placed the girl between them.
The officer risked a look outside and
man trembled as he mounted the steps.
The mother mumbled to herself:
You are not going to take my girl,
my little girl, monsieur"
In the light of the dawn she looked
about, stricken with amazement: Of the
house nothing remained but four pieces
Of wall and heap of wood, bricks and
stone. the shapeless debris of familiar
objects.
"The devil!" whistled the officer, rub
bing his sleeve with the back of his
! hands: They didn't miss any targets
this time"
1t was hint to the mother. Fall
ing on her knees in the rubbish she
cried:
"You see that they fire on our house
that my little girl cannot be guilty"
at looks that way. Nevertheless, I
shall keep an eye on her"
With that he went away.
But without hearing him, wild with
| JOY in the presence of the ruins, the
mother repeated, caressing the arms,
the face and the hands of her daugh-
! ter:
Il thank. Thee. O Lord. that Thou
hast destroyed our habtation."
And the father, collapsing on a mass
of broken rocks. mumbled, laughing
and weeping at the same time:
would you believe it? What luck!
Those shells-without them what
would have happened to us?"

Outdoor Occupation
One reason why gardening makes q
good beginning for nature-study is
that natural instinct usually points the
way to garden making in the spring.
Another reason is that so many forms
of life are manifest in the garden and
that occupation out Of doors is very
essential to the building up of sound
body, mind and spirit, to the exercise
of all the senses, the quckening of the
emotions and an all-round healthy de-
velopment.
