in the field pulling the lint from
half open boles, Sotero Hinojosa
and two others leisurely picked
away in a good field oblivious Of
the prize money within his grasp.
Hinojosa, whose field Is on the
j. H. Fernandez plantation about
six miles out the military high
way, continued to pick until he
was sure that he had a fat" bale.
When he brought the bale to town
to be ginned he received a sur
prise when notified that his was
one Of the first to be produced In
the country.

prize money awaiting he could

He explained that the upper

WH|TEHURST LISTS
STREET PROJECTS
Is Widening Proposals Are
Being Studied in Program
for District.

Assistant Engineer Commissioner
Herbert C. Whitehurst yesterday an
nounced a list of 10 street-widening
projects which the highway department
is studying in an effort to draw up a
program to be followed over term of
years. The following unofficial list has
not been submitted to the Commits
sioners, but they are expected to hola
public hearings on a widening
program early next spring, and these
projects will be among those to be
considered:
Tenth street, New York to Massa-
chusettS avenues.
Sixth street, Pennsylvania to Florida
avenues.
e street, Fifth street to New Jersey
avenue.
twelfth street, e street to Massa-
chusetts avenue.
H street, Massachusetts, avenue to
Thirteenth street
Twenty-first street, Massachusetts
to Virginia avenues.
Twenty-third street, Pennsylvania
avenue to B street.
B street, Twenty-sixth street to
Pennsylvania avenue.
Seventeenth street, street to MaSSa-
cfusettS avenue.
Seventeenth street, Pennsylvania
avenue to H street.
Thirteenth street, Massachusetts, to
Rhode Island avenues.
Fifteenth street, Massachusetts, to
Rhode Island avenues.
Fifteenth street, New York avenue to
K street.
Capt. Whitehurst said the announce
ment was made at this time to give
those persons interested ample oppor-
tunity to make their reaction to the
widenings known to the Commissioners.
The plan is to select from this and
probably other suggested lists a final
list to be set UP as an official street
widening program. Then Congress
would be asked to appropriate enough
money each year for several years to
take care Of the list at the rate of prob
ably three or four projects a year.
This Is the first time the municipal gov
eminent has made known so far in ad-
vance its intentions as to the 1oca-
tons where street widening is under
consideration. II the practice meets
with approval, Capt. Whitehurst said
he would follow it UP with early an
street-opening jobs.
For the first time in several years,
no street wideningS will be undertaken
this year. The first that could be un-
dertaken now would be in the Summer
Of 1880, II Congress authorized appro-
priations for the work.

The statement said that the orthodox
Archbishop Of Athens, in an open letter
to the Catholic bishop, demanded that
all Greek rite Catholic priests cease

by an order of the minister of education
the Catholic Orphans School was closed

Another important problem to be COW

A large part of the agreement would
deal with the religious instruction OF

The clergy would enjoy the same

might be appointed senators, as was the

PROPER CARE OF

Ready Medium for Develop

prepared py the United States Department
Of Agricuture.)
The proper care Of uncooked meat
In the home during the time between
Its delivery and it's preparation for
the table is most important. Un-
cooked meat is ready medium for
the development Of bacteria that cause
spoilage and are dangerous to health.
AS the temperature increases. the
bacteria increase in greater proper
ton, and spoilage is fastened. There
fore, the colder the better-a tempera-
ture of AZ degrees Fahrenheit or be-
low is of real value. 1t is not always
possible to detect sroilage in meat
by it's odor or taste, hence II is best
to be on the safe side and store the
meat in the coolest part of good
refrigerator.
Unwrap the meat as soon as 1t Is
delivered, says the bureau of home
economics Of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. Tests are
now being carried on indicating that
uncooked meat in closed container
has more advanced rate of spoilage

children to give them their meals
about half an hour before the other
members Of the household. The i'm
portant thing, says the bureau of home
economics of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture, is that the chill
dren's meals should come at regular
time, with well-spaced intervals, and
with due regard for the schedule for
nap, bath, exercise, and bedtime.
Part Of the mothers responsibility is
to see that the food offered the chill
dren looks appetizing, is well cooked,
and served at a suitable temperature.
A burnt tongue from food that is too
hot Is an unfortunate accident, and
foods that are cold when they should
be eaten hot are equally unsatisfactory
for making a meal success. Wheth-
er the mother cooks the child's food
personally, or has some one else do 1t,
she should make certain that every
dish on the menu is properly prepared
and served. Lumpy cereal, scorched
cocoa, or stringy vegetables, may be the
starting point Of food dislike, even
in very young child. Food should
never be used as carrier of medi-
cine. as when castor oil Is given in
orange juice. Orange juice is SO nee
essary In the child's daily diet that
the enjoyment of it should not be
spoiled. Make the setting of each
meal attractive, the food good to look
at and to eat, and the child will have
good appetite and good digestion.

London.-With the idea Of vastly
increasing the speed Of passenger
transport between big cities, there is
being constructed near Glasgow an ex-
perimental overhead railway on which
cars driven by airplane type propellers
will be suspended from monorail.
The new system, called the George

Glasgow man and is designed to
carry passengers 120 miles an hour
overhead. The monorail Is being con-
structed over the Northeastern Rail-
way company's track at Milngavie,

London.-Another peril Of over legis-

becomes necessary to defend the
hearth.
Under an old law, never repealed.
the Bowyers company still has the
right to search houses within three
miles Of London and demand of the.
occupants that all long bows on the
premises be produced.
The company of Bowyers is one Of
the smallest and Oldest Of the many
medieval guilds that still exist in Lon
don. The date Of its establishment is
lost In antiquity, but 1t Is known that
1t was in existence long before 1871.
At that time 1t separated from the
Fletchers (arrowmakers), perhaps be-
cause Of disagreement on the reform
effected at that time which shortened
the workmen's hours Of labor "by rea-
son that bows could not in any man
ner be as well or as proftably made
for the King and his people by night
as by day."
The present members of the Bow
yers company are descendants OF the
old bowmakers, but they pursue their
ancient calling no longer, despite mod
ern interest In archery. The company
offers prize each year at the Royal
Toxophilite society's competition, but
the ancient cup Of the old company
is now contested for yearly at Alder

bows and arrows.
