spect Proposed I'm
provement.

Favorable action on legislation
! which will authorize the extension OF
14th street north. giving a new main
highway into the District, was as
sured today when members OF the
House District committee. accompa-
! MED by the engineer Of the District
government, made an inspection tour
Of the proposed route.
There is no reason why this high
way should not be extended through
, there Is very strong reason why tntS
should be begun as soon as possible
said Chairman Focht of the House
District committee.
Natural Route for Great Highway.
There is natural route for a
great highway entering Washington
and such an avenue would open up
much needed improvement and the
House District committee will do
all 1t can to further this development,
said Chairman Focht.
Representative Fred N. Zihlman, into

extend. and who has been working for
several months to ease out of the way

Cathedral Avenue Project.
The members Of the House District
committee also visited Cathedral ave-
nue. and Woodley road. where it is
proposed to widen the highway so
that a sidewalk may be built. The
DistriCS Commissioners. and espe
cially the office Of the Engineer Com
quiring for the city an additional
forty feet along Woodley road. This
has been objected to by the officers
at st. Alban's Episcopal Cathedral
The cathedral authorities today ex-
planned to the District committee that
they will interpose no objection to
ten feet of their property being taken
for the building of a sidewalk, but
they do not care to have the other
thirty feet taken.
View Of Engineers' ONCE.
The position of the engineers Office
is that they wanted this extra land
as a guarantee that in the years to
come there would be no encroach-
ment through the erection of any
building close to the highway. The
cathedral authorities assured the
committee that they have no inten-
tion ever of building on this extra
thirty feet Of land. but that they
want to protect the integrity of their
property.
Charles c. Glover and a number Of
women residents in that neighbor-
hood also discussed the situation with
the members Of the committee.

One Minute Essay

About 10000, 100000 stamps are
printed for the Z. S. postoffice depart
ment every year by the bureau of en-
craving and printing at Washington.
The dies are made and stamps are
printed in sheets of 400 each. After
printing and drying sheets are taken
to cumming machines. Each machine
is surrounded by tank from which a
carefully regulated stream of special
gum S fed to pan, at one end of WHICH
it comes into contact with an adjustable
revolving roller. The roller feed is so
delicately controlled that 26 pounds of
gum is spread over every 1000 sheets.
After being gummed, the sheets pass
into a tunnel where temperature is kept
at 30 degrees. The tunnel is ~ feet long
and stamps take minnie and half to
traverse it. When they reach the other
end they are dry and ready for perfor-
ating machines.

WHEAT KINGS RULES

achieving success. They are not start

fortune. Mr.. Patten attributes his own
| business success to his adherence to
the habits of 80 early to bed and early
to RISE" and working hard. In lang
Uage more vigorous than elegant, Mr.
Patten says that ideals are not worth
| anything 'unless you go to bed early,
rise early, fight all the time you are
awake, and save your money" Mr.
Patten believes that frugality is more
essential than unusual ability. "a
man might be as brainy as can be, but
if he didn t save his money, he would
never get anywhere; men of brilliance
never get anywhere unless they have
money to back their Schemes Edu-
cation is not particularly essential to
success in business, says Mr.. Patten.
This philosophy of success is an adj
mixture of good worldly wisdom and
of Grass sordidness and lamentable
flouting of ideals. Mere getting of
money is not success in the best signif-
icance of the term. Working early
and late and holding onto what is got
ten may bring monetary opulence, as
it has in instances innumerable. But
Il is possible thus to work and thus to
accumulate and yet be neither rich nor
successful If one were asked, which
has been the greater success in life,
Luther Burbank or the late Russell

one-that Mr.. Burbank, the man com
paratlYely poor in worldly possessions,
is infinitely richer because of his great

Mrs. C. told me today that she
thought she would worry herself sick
if her married daughter didn't have
more help and take things easier
'She II break down, I know she will
break down. she said forebodingly.
Now Mrs. G. knows that with five
children and small income her
daughter cannot take things easier. She
would also know if she stopped to think
of it that if she really should manage
to "wory herself sick" her daughter
would have to take things harder i'll

But Mrs. c. is one of the large num-
Der of people who seem to think that
worry is kind of duty, nay, that to
worry over other people s troubles is
u virtue.
The Old Idea Of Worry
Ny grandmother once said during q
cholera scare which had come within
a few miles of her home that she knew
she ought to be worrying about that
cholera but somehow she didn t seem
to be. She didn t know what was the
matter with her. That was the good
old conception of worry at its best.
Mrs b. is another member of the
Loyal Worrlers. She not only regards
worrying as virtue but she thinks it
can take the place of other virtues.

'rectcd to be home to supper at six is
held up by u tire blowout and doesn t
get home until $3.50. He finds no hot
