PUSHING ROAD CONSTRUCTION

Road building is being pushed
along very rapidly between Sharps-
burg and Shepherdstown. The Sec
ton from the west limit of the town
to the railroad station is almost com.
pleted, and makes a lovely stretch Of
road along the government avenue,
Work has been started on the long
hill opposite Shepherdstown, leading
from the river bridge to the crest OF
the hill above the mansion house on
Ferry Hill Farm. The roadway on
the hill will be of concrete slightly
roughened, as the asphalt would be
too slippery for SO steep a hill, it is
said. This will be the next section
to be finished, as it is desired to
work the concrete before cold
weather sets in. The contractors
are making perfect road from
keedysville to Shepherdstown, and it
will make this route to the South
more popular than ever.

STATE FIRE MARSHAL SEES
GREATEST FIRE PREVENTION
WEEK.

WEEK.
Says all Is in Readiness for 18th
Annual Observance, Oct. 2-s.-His
Fourteen Points Of Fire Safety.
With only q few days remaining
before the start Of the twelfth an
nual nation wide campaign against
preventable fire the State Fire
Marshal said today that everything
was in readiness for what is believed
will be the most extensive fire pre-
vention week observance West Vir-
ginia has ever known.
eyes," said the Marshal this
morning, "the people of West Vir-
ginia are going to be made aware of
Fire Prevention Week this year in a
manner they'll not soon forget. 1t
is high time that we awake to what
a yearly fire waste of $4,000 lives
and close to a half billion dollars in
property, if long continued, will
mean to this country. Heedlessness
and carelessness are clearly at the
bottom of all but small fraction of
bilC 1889 WulCu 1nCA1lS tkA0t IL 10 ASCa-
less and inexcusable.
Suppose" went on the Fire
Marshal, "that some foreign power
were allowed to levy a tribute on US
of $500, 100000 year; what howl
of protest would go up from every
real American. Yet, with scarcely a
murmur, we surrender a sum just
short of this amount to the common
enemy of fire every twelve months.
To me, such competency in the face
of life and property destruction un-
parallelled anywhere anywhere in
the world, is one of our least COM
prehensible characteristics"
Asked if there were not some
brief fire prevention rules that he
would like to lay before the people
of the state on the eve of Fire Pre-
vention Week, the Fire Marshal
thought for a moment, and then die
tated these:
"Don't use make-shifts instead of
proper fuses in your electrical cir
cults; the fuse is the 'safety-valve'
Of the system.
Don't leave electric flatirons or
other heating devices turned on
while attending to something else.
Don't look for a gas leak with an
open flame light; you will be sure to
find it. Use an electric flash light
preferably.
Don't use gasoline or other vola-
tile liquids to remove spots from
clothing or for other purposes.
Don't throw your lighted matches
or smoking material where they can
possibly cause fire.
Don't smoke in bed; perhaps
those guilty of this practice are too
green to burn, but the beds are not.
Don't let children play with
matches or bonfres.
Don't fail to have your defective
chimneys and fues mended.
Don't forget to have the SCOT re-
moved from your smoke-pipe; if not
cleaned, the pipe may overhead and
start a fire when you operate the
furnace.
Don't neglect to protect walls,
ceilings and partitions from the over
heating OF stoves, furnaces and
pipes.
Don't put hot ashes into wooden
boxes or barrels.
Don't fill oil lamps or stoves by
open-fame light.
Don't let rubbish accumulate.
Don't fail to keep bucket of
water and a bucket of sand in a con-
venient place for use in case of fire t;
they may save the lives of YOUR
family as they have those of others.
'If people would only make these
fourteen points permanent rules of
conduct" concluded the Fire Mar
shall, refiectively, "the power of the
fire tyrant would be broken"

Attorney General Daugherty ex-

his decision on the enforcement OF
prohibition.
The decision has been eagerly
awaited by the country. since re-
quested several weeks ago by Secre-
tary Mellon, following sensational
chargs by the head of the Anheaser-
Busch company of st. Louis that
Uncle Sam was the biggest bootleg
ger in the world, because Shipping
Board vessels sold liquors.
Not only the question OF liquor on
ships, as requested by Secretary Mel
lon, will be, considered in the deci-
sion, it was said at the Department
Of Justice today, but Mr.. Daugherty
will give the opinion of the Depart
ment of Justice on the enforcement
of prohibition on the high seas.
The entire subject Of prohibition
enforcement will be gone over by the
Attorney General, it was said, taking
it up from many angles not specifically

for you to imagine what
Washington was like in the
days of my youth, sixty-two
years ago, when the streets were
badly paved and lighted, and the
Capitol and the White House
were the only extraordinary
Sights" The Monument had
gone up but short distance,
and then stopped, and om11i-
busses went on what were called
Voyages of discovery" over the
dirt and cobb1estones to George
town and the Navy Yard.
Franklin Sp1are was vacant
lot, with plenty of rubbish and
a broken-down fence.
The artistocratic part of the
city was, first, on c street in
the neighborhood of Trinity
Church, where lived such fine
old families as the Maurys,
Smiths, Phoer1ixes, Weight
mans, Coxes, Pend1etons and
others. Another exclusive Sec
ton lay from 18th to 18th street,
on the upper side of K. But a
charming portion Of the city was
the West End, between 18th and
21st streets, south Of the Ave-
nue. In 1872 or thereabout,
died the Baroness Grabow, a
granddaughter of President
Zachary Taylor, and formerly
Miss Nina Wood, a great belle
and beauty of this neighborhood.
The tone of pre-war society
was southern, informal and
innocent of ri11ionairishness.
Good family was the great
thing: the small ~cave-dwe11-
ing" circle was not easy to break
into, and the receptions of 1860
were more like a social function,
and less like a mob trying to get
into a street car.
Mrs. Senator Gwin of Cali
forr1ia, husband of the man who
wanted to be Duke of Sonora,
probably was the pioneer In So,
cia1 sp1urges. The Great Gwin
Bali of 1858 was a fancy dress
affair, and I doubt whether any
thing since has gone it one
better.
In those days there was no
such thing as a society column,
and If a 1ady's name was men,
toned even pleasantly In print
a white-hot male relative would
shout at the night editor, @*What
the devil do you mean by put

Der, for didn't foot the polka

April night? She wore a white
satin skirt and panta1ettes, and
boots of silver and blue satin.
Her tasseled cap was of the
same co1oring, her hair was
plated with pearls, and her
pearl necklace was notable. But
Senator Gwin refused to appear
except as Senator Gwin. Some
poet of the bali broke into rap
tures over the return of hoop
skirts and crino1ine.
Dueling had not exactly gone out,
and man who had "pinked his ad-
versary" was likely to have a reputa-
ton that kept him from being ~mon-
keyed with" A Washington CORE
spondent, a foreigner who wrote for
New York paper, referred to GER
tain voting southern man as "a per-
son," whereupon the offended youth
set out to shoot the newspaper writer
on sight. His friends succeeded in
restraining him, but he wrote the
editor of the paper that if an apology
were not printed in the next issue he
would come over to New York and
shoot the editor! Sure enough, on
the following day beautiful retrac-
ton was published.
By the way, I attended the mar
riage of MIR. Bouligny, member
from Louisiana, and Miss Parker,
daughter of wealthy Washington
grocer. President Buchanan was a
guest at the gorgeous house wedding
at the Parker place, with its roses,
lilies, fountains and special lighting.
A crimson curtain was pulled aside
and bridal tab1eau disclosed.
That crimson curtain, happened
to know, was purchased at the new
and well considered dry goods estab-
1ishment Of Lansburgh & Brother,
who were the innovators in WASH
ington of the first-class service that
we now take as a matter of course.
Well, my; boy, there is crimson
curtain of age between 1922 and 1850,
when Lansburgh & Brother began
to do business on 9TH street; hoop-
skirted ladies had to enter single
file the portals of the store, men wore
crease1ess trousers, and the police re-
serves were not called out if the male
species sported a fancy co1ored waist
coat. Yet, after all, here are you and
1.-the voting and the old, hobnobbing
together comfortably over a pipe; so
that the crimson curtain is easily
pulled aside. It is the same old world,
and the store of Lansburgh &
Brother-the first Washington dry
goods shop par exce11ence-continues
to answer every most modern, mod
ish need with promptness and eff
cheney, and also with the o1d-time
courtesy of 1860. .~,
