The Leonard CleanabIe Wooden
Refrigerator

All refrigerators must be cleaned at frequent inter-
walls, not simply wiping out, but given a good ~scrubbing
and using plenty of water. Cleaning is a quick and easy
matter with a Leonard, as all parts can be quickly re-
moved, leaving the entire inside clear.
The interior finish of the better grades is Of white
enamel-the cheaper grades of zinc, both finishes easily
cleaned.
No other wooden refrigerator keeps a lower tempera-
ture for the amount of ice consumed.
Carried in all sizes and styles ranging in price from
$21 to $85

All Metal, Snow WhHe Enamel Finish
The Crystal stands out apart and distinct from all
other refrigerators because of its unusually beautiful
snow-white finish. 1t has a hard, glossy enamel that is
easily cleaned.
The shelves are of solid glass-ene side ribbed, the
other smooth. Easily kept clean, and tall, slender vessels
can be slid on the shelves without danger of upsetting
them
Being of steel construction there is no possible chance
OF varying, shrinking or cracking, keeping everything
perfectly tight, which reduces the ice consumption to a
minimum.

An Historic Modern City.

The Chamber of Commerce of the historic and
wide-awake city of Alexandra, honorcd itself and
its city in the noontme banquet rendered Capt.
Miller, who has been in charge there of the con-
struction Of the naval torpedo plant.
The Chamber had also its guests Admiral
Macvey, head Of the division of explosives, and
Capt. Lorimer, who succeeds Capt Miller. The
occasion was significant not only of Alexandria's
appreciation of a man who in his official position
has done much for and acted in accord with
Alexandria city, but of the active progressive
spirit of its business men.
1t is the habit of Americans to think of Alex
andria only a repository and landmark Of their
interest, is so permiated with the personality Of
national history 1t is full of objects of historic
Washington, Braddock, Lord Fairfax and endless
notabes of colonial and revolutionary days, that
it lacks appreciation of its present commercial, in
dustrIal and transportation importance.
Tourists flock there by the hundreds if not
thousands, during each year. They visit the ctrrch
where Washington vestryman, the Masonic
lodge of which he the first Master and filled
with priceless relics They where Col. Ellsworth
was killed, and house after house and place after
place that has part in history.
But they do not learn that the water at the
pier is 40 feet deep; that from there to the
there is no less than 80 feet of water; that the
great coal fields of West Virginia but 40 miles
lIldnu, anu thdl tneSc ana otnef Inducements arc
turning industry that way for locations.
If industrys LOCATION should be decided by
cheapness of transportation and to coal,
Alexandra has a bright future. If citizenship is
controlling factor in capital investments, Alexan-
dria's future is assured,
Every business there is an Alexandra fan.
They have enthusiasm and confidence which
is contagious. 1t is but hslf-hour from Wash
ington and this city has opportunity there for
its own growth and development, which it should
utilize.
Every large citys prosperity depends largely
upon the development of just such nearby centers.
AS they grow, it will grow and Washington should
be quick to help develop such advantages as are
offered by Alexandra.

Wrong Place for Rehenchment.

There is no difference in public opinion as to
subject of Federal expenditure No one is ask
ing or wants retrenchment in the case of disabled
or needy soldiers and sailors.
There exceptions in the wish that these
men may have the utmost care, the limit of oppor-
tunity for full recovery, and every possible advan-
tage for restoration to economic independence The
United States has never been stingy with its war
veterans. There is less inclination to this now that
ever before.
Congress will have the unanimous approval of
the people of every Glass; including every group in
increasing hospital accommodations for all war vet
Grams who need them. 1t will be commended for
making these hospitals safe, substantial cheerful
with attractive surroundings and in providing eyery-
thing for easing the condition of the inmates while
assuring physical restoration.
If this demands SI5,ooo.ooo or twice sIsoooooo
those who must pay the bills will not haggle over
it. No Congressman will ever have to answer to
his constituents for his generous regard for this
need 1t will be of the strongest factors in
his record.
The condition of these men is not now what it
should be, and it is growing worse. There should
not be single one denied hospital care There
should not be one denied every aid to return him
to self-support and contentment.
A chief element with each in that content
ment will always be feeling that he did not offer
himself in vain, that his country does appreciate
his sacrifice, that it is grateful and has not for
gotten.

Tip Fad Hits
Suey Places
Hat and Coat Fiends In
Uade Exclusive Chinese
Restaurants.
BY RAYMOND q. CARROLL.

NEW YORK. Jan. IS. - The
che6kroom gyp at last has invaded
the chop suey restaurants Of New
York, which speakers eloQuentIy OF
the rise Of the fad for Chinese cook
ing. In Chinatown there are sew
.ersl large Chinese restaurants.
They are ostensibly Chinese owned.
At least that is what the visitors
from uptown who patronize them
think, for they are managed by
Chinese.
But probably the most elaborate
and niftiest chop suey joint OF them
all is at Columbus Circle and Fifty
ninth street. Here at one sitting
| have seen James Crane, tho actor:
Nine. Grace Fjorde, the opera sing
er; A L. Erlangcr. the theatrical
manager; William Fox. the movie

screen favorite, and host OF other
celebrities.
Few home grown Chinese take

places because of high prices asked
for the cooking. and their disin-
Clination to break in on tn, white
swells." Nevertheless the walters
are Chinese, for the same reason
that the walls have Chinese dragon
tapestry. With the lights ShrOuded
in fantastic shades, and the into
rior pungent with the perfUmed
cdors of frecracker punk, one has
the illusion of passing an hour or
so in Shanghai or HongkouE.
Another restaurant where the hat
and coat check fends also have
succeeded in planting themselves is
at Billy the Oysterman's. in Twen-
tieth street. A few years ago. and
here you sat. fully HATED and coat
ed, on a stool while a genius with
small pick pried apart the BIZ
valves at the exact speed Of your
gastronomic capacity. Ono Won
ders how much longer one can visit
the automats and lunchrOoms be-
fore being compelled TO surrender
hat, coat and cane for a white
piece of paper. And the tips-well,
they go to the owners Of the res
taurants, not to the frail looking
sympathy exciting attendants, as
many patrons suppose.

A Chance for Economy on Itself.

While discussing household economics, good
wife suggested to her husband that if he felt it
absolutely necessary to economize he might begin
by economizing himself The country might give
this same good advice to Congress But probably
IL would be equally in vain.
In valiant effort at self remuneration, the House
cut out the usual appropriation for seeds which IN
a ine spirit of munhcence, they send to their con-
stituents: But it has had second thought: Why
deny themselves the profit of an obligation which
costs its members nothing?
So IT has restored the appropriation, making it
$4,000. Thousands of farmers, and city and vii

Farm Profits.

One of the minor factors in farm discomfort is
the system concocted by someone, to estimate
farm profits. By the legerdemain of figures, farm
disclosed ending each year with little or
no net profit, if not in debt.
1t never seems to occur to these calculators
that if land given by them selling value of $780,
500, of $500 acre, does not return its owner
profit by its cultivation and cropping, it is not
worth that amount. If cattle do not return profit
on their stated value, that value is too high.
Farm dwellings usually included in farm
values, but business in the trades do not in
clude their homes proft-making investments
Neither do their charge against profits or as an
overhead Of their business, their household ex-
penses. II they take goods from their stocks for
family use, these family expenses, not business
overhead.
They do not charge against the business sal
ary for themselves Their salaries are the net
profits OF their business. They do not include
salary for their wives housekeepers as charge
against their business. If their children work for
them, they may make this charge, Or regard it
as saving.
Life the farm would have brighter fnan-
cial outlook, if profits estimated more
rational business basis and included appreciation Of
property value as profit, as we'll as basis to swell
investment charge and overhead.

plant of one sufferer, and others
offer similar explanations.
Repression of some fact or feel

ually forgotten, was declared to be
the principal cause Of neurasthenic
troubles. The doctor has to 60 into
the past history of the case, and a
full explanation Of the repressed
cause often cures ~the patient. A
warning against operating on neu-

WOOD SPECIES NOT. y.

Thousands OF measurements by

not confirm the general supposition
that each species of wood has a

than exists between the average

No clearly defined relation has been
found between fiber length and the
