German ragpicllers unlike their American prototypes, do not cry rags, bottles, iron" but raise ear-piercing appeals for rags, old paper, rabbit skins" This unusual variance is due to the fact that Germans are great eaters of hare's meat during the fall and winter months. One finds hares and rabbits at every butcher shop in the outdoor municipal markets, and in the carts of the street vendors. Nenison, too. is a popular article of food in the restau- rants. Turkey, on the other hand is almost unknown.

fore, to aid and advise in such a way
that this machinery shall be as good
as possible. A year has gone by
since the passage of the building bill,
and 1t may seem to some that very
little has been accomplished toward
actual building. This is true enough.
but any hurried progress might well
have been accompanied by mistakes
which could hardly have been recti.
fed.
There have been disappointments,
but these are not for the most part
irretrievable. Bills were introduced
adding greatly to the authorization
for buildings outside of Washington
and for the purchase Of land in Wash
ington for future developments.
Says Sentiment Increased.
"These bills did not pass, but the
sentiment in their favor has increased
greatly in II months. Provision has
BEEN made or is in the way of being
made, for an expenditure in the Dis
trict of Columbia reaching far toward
two hundred millions. This is for
new lands. new parks, Government
buildings, schools. bridges and other
projects, which, If well done, will be
the most important steps ever taken
toward the completion, of the Wash
ington plan.
''Tt now Is seriously proposed that
a degree Of control be placed upon the
development Of private property over.
looking public parkways. If this is
brought about by the next Congress
it will be very important indication
of the interest that public opinion is
developing in subject upon which no
more than year ago discussion was
hardly possible.
AT recent meeting of the board
of directors of the institute, resolu.
ton was passed Offering to the Secre.
tary of the Treasury the service and
advice of any institute members whom
he might nominate. This offer was
received with interest and steps have
already been taken to make Il cffec.

The need of raising the plan of
