They are on thoir way to Alaska where Webster hopes to engage in mining, but meeting some congenial friends he had squandered all his money and they were left practically penniless. He enters the saloon to drown his sorrow in drink and Mar jory follows him there pleading with him to leave the place. When Mon roe enters he catches sight of Mar jorie, a deep-seated interest in her is suddenly awakened in his heart.

AIR SAFETY FENDER
DEMONSTRATED HERE
Public Utilities Commission Views
Tests for New Device Proposed
for Street Car Use.

The new American air safety fender
for street cars was demonstrated
before the Public Utilities Commits
sion in the District building today.
This new appliance embodies a de-
vice which drops the fender to the
ground by means of air pressure, at
the same time applying the brakes.
1t is used extensively in the west,
according to the representative, j.
W. Lysons.
Mr.. Lysons states that it is alb
solutely impossible for an object to
get under a car which is equipped
with the device. The fender proper
consists of 1ifeguard hanging
vertically in front of the bumper of
the car. and an apron extending horl-
zontally at any required height above
the pavement, and projecting twenty
six inches in front of the bumper.
Both the lifeguard and the apron nave
springs, giving cushion effect TO
anything striking them. 1t is stated
that a pressure OF ntteen pouhus on
the apron is sufficient to make 1t drop
to the pavement and automatically
apply the brakes.
This fender has been approved by
the New York public utilities COM
mission, according to Mr.: Lysons.
Some months ago the Public IT'LL
tiles Commission of the District au-
thorized the street railway companies
in this city to experiment with the
running of cars with no fenuers. At
present both companies are running
one line each with fenderless cars,
hut no definite action has been taken
to date.

Some opticians examine defective
eyes and fit glasses to correct them.
there are few who can make a lens,
but M. A. Leese, for eighteen years in
business at 614 Ninth street northwest,
knows everything about the optic bus
mess from the manufacture of a lens
from raw glass to the rehabilitating of
lamp with the finished article.
He established the first lens factory
in Washington at his present place of
business fifteen years ago, when the
nearest makers of lenses were in
Philadelphia. Since then several
such concerns have come into exist
ence here. -
Leese is one of the most Interested
workers for the development of COM
mercial enterprise in Washington,
Last year he was president of the
Merchants and Manufacturers Asso-
citation, and urged the association in
his annual report to conduct the
campaign for the boosting OF manu-
featuring interests which is now in
progress.
Leese is one of the original men,
bers of the Merchants and Manu-
facturers. Since ii was formed from
a branch of the Chamber of Com
merce seven years ago he has run
the gamut of it's official positions.
AS a member of the Merchants
and Manufacturers. the Board OF
Trade and the Chamber of Com
merce, Leese is invariably a promi-
nent figure in public movements.
His efforts in the war savings
stamp campaign were especially
noteworthy Incidentally, he con-
| tributed a number OF handsome
money prizes for war savings stamp
soliciting contests.
Leese is the head of a prospering
business and is considered a wealthy
man. He owes it all to himself, hav'
ing started life with a grammar
| school education and no capital.
Entering the combination jewelry
and optical concern Of the Flana-
gan Jewelry Company. on Seventh
street, when a young man, Leese
became interested in the business
studied various books and took a
correspondence course in optometry
His business now occupies the
! entire four-story building at Ga
| Ninth street.
Leese is a Knight of Pythias and
