home Of Josiah Goodrich, from 1853
and until his death in 1874. That
this block was used for residential pur-
poses until comparatively recently is
shown by the fact that Mrs. Good
rich continued to reside here until
1879
The next house north Of the Good
rich house, if still standing, was built
by DR.. Robert j. Powell, and here he
resided from 1850 to 1870
At an early date, John Marion, who
was Third Assistant Postmaster Cen
eral from 1853 and until his death
in 1874, built a residence on the south
side of E street, next to the corner of
Fifth. Marion apparently did not
occupy it. for soon after it was COM
pleted he sold it to DR.. Leonard D.
Gale. who resided here until 1871.
When the house was built the corner
lot served as garden or yard, but
when DR.. Gale moved in, he built
one-story addition to the original
structure, which covered the vacant
ground and which he used as Ii
brary and laboratory.
Dr. Gale, before coming to Wash
ington to accept the position of prin-
cipal examiner of chemistry in the
Patent Office, had been professor of
chemistry and geology in the Univer-
sity of the City of New York, and it
was while holding this professorship
that he became associated with S. F.
B. Morse, who was then having diff
Guilty in constructing the telegraph.
Prof. Gale, appreciating these difficult
ties, suggested that he utilize and
combine Prof. Joseph Henry's prin-
ciples Of the electro-magnet. then said
to be unknown to Morse-and the
world knows the result.
At the southeast corner of E and
Sixth streets, where stands the
Georgetown University Law School,
once stood the residence of Francis
Hanna, and here he made his home
as early as 1866. His wife, Elizabeth
F. Hanna, survived her husband and
she and other members of the family,
including John F., Anna and Celia,
continued to reside here until 1t be-
came the law Offices of John F. Hanna
and James F. Johnson, who moved to
this corner from sos D street in the
early 80s Subsequent to this time,
the property was purchased by J. J.
Darlington and Judge Martin F.
Morris.

New Beetle Trap.
NEW and inexpensive trap

A NEW and inexpensive trap per-
fected by the Department Of
Agriculture has proven of tremendous
value in the campaign against the
japanese green beetle, potentially one
of the worst pests which annoy the
agriculturist and the horticulturist.
BY means of traps, 100000 being
employed last year, real strides were
made in the fight against the spread
of the beetle. Eighty thousand OF the
new traps which are collapsible, were
manufactured by the department.
Complete with rod and porcelain
bait cake-another new feature-this
trap costs only about ID cents. against
81 cents, the lowest price for any
previous trap. A shipment Of 400
traps in two wooden cases, with rods
for support of the traps, weighs $50
pounds, against two tons for the old
traps. Besides this 80 per cent cut
in freight costs, the set-up and re-
moval expenses are reduced 25 per
cent. Designed primarily to show the
spread, increase, and decrease of the
Japanese beetle, these traps probably
do not reduce the numbers of the
pests appreciably Mixing poison with
the soil in the infested areas to destroy
the grubs is the most effective method
now known for controlling this beetle,
but it is too expensive for wide ap-
plication.
Though less than an hours catch
in the densely infested areas in the
East, the catch of 3,7OO beetles in six
rather widely scattered sections Of
Chicago, is serious because this Mid
west terminus for carlot shipments of
farm products from sections where
there are great many beetles might
become a center for their further
Western spread. In Cleveland, l,l93
beetles were caught in 1886, as COM
pared with 13 in 1885.
Beetles we're caught in II of the II
Virginia cities and towns trapped in
1886. A distinct improvement was
noted in the situation in the parts of
this State not under quarantine.
Traps rather widely scattered
through the non-regulated area of
Maryland turned up Is first-record
infestations and carry-overs at other
places, including l22 beetles at Millers-
vile, 81 at Riviera Beach, and 80 at
New Market.
Unfavorable weather killed large
numbers Of Japanese beetle grubs in
the ground in parts of the older in
tested areas. AS a possible conse-
quence the Philadelphia, Pa, area had
far fewer beetles than usual There
were heavy concentrations, however,
in Delaware, in sections of South
western Pennsylvania, North Central
New Jersey, and the metropolitan
sections of New York City. Windrows
of beetles that had flown out to sea
were washed back on the ocean beaches
of Northern New Jersey, Staten Island
and Long Island.

Of Evangeline, the chief shrines of
the Acadians in this region.
Citizens and civic groups Of Ver-
million, st. Martin, ST. Mary and Iberia
Parishes, over which most of the
Acadian country extends, have Or
ganized the Evangeline Scenic Asso-
citation, whose function it will be to
perpetuate the customs and language
of the natives Of this land OF yester-
day. as well as to preserve the old
landmarks and scenic beauty of the
region. This association is headed by
E. A. McIlhenny, noted naturalist and
conservationist. whose Jungle Gar
dens, at Avery Island, in the heart of
the Acadlan country, are said to be
the most perfect spot in the United
States for the study of nature and to
observe plants, flowers and trees from
all over the world. The Acadian
country is four hour drive west from
New Orleans, on U. S. Highway 90.
Despite the fact that the Tin Can
Tourists of the World, annually con-
vening at Sarasota, voted last month
to meet in Tampa next year, the 30
acre park, home of the trailerites for
the past four years, will be increased
by nearly 80 acres, it was announced
this week. More than 1900 trailers
were parked here during this season.
The additional acreage will permit
several thousand to be comforta bly,
accommodated. In announcing this
purchase, Mayor E. A. Smith of
Sarasota stated, There is no doubt
that the trailerites are a definite asset
to any community. Each year the
trailer influx to Sarasota is increasing
At the height of the season the present
site cannot accommodate all of them
By giving them additional space, they
will be better satisfied as will the year.
round residents"
arguments of some persons that
the trailerites, if refused admission
into the city in their trailers, would
come to Sarasota and occupy homes
is groundless," the Mayor declared.
IF they are not wanted in one place,
they will go where they are wanted"
he said.

years ago an engineer in one of our
great motor factories decided that
steering still was much too burdensome
He set out to remove the last traces
of effort. Much to his surprise, he
found that when he rolled the car
out into the factory yard he simply
could not steer it. Because no effort
was required to turn the steering wheel
he lost all feel" of the road.
Steering as an Instance.
am beginning to wonder If this
doesn't explain why SO few drivers
are satisfied with the way modern
cars steer. Some OF my more critical
friends have been trying to find a car
that would answer their steering re-
quirements perfectly, but they have
so far been unsuccessful There are
three modern cars in my immediate
family. None steers just right. They
all steer easily, but that seems to
be their most serious fault. They tend
to wander. Unless the driver watches
every move of the car he will find
himself up a tree. Just little more
work in handling the car ought to
bring real steering satisfaction.
One of the 1884 cars was designed
for excessively easy operation. In the
1885 model the engineers added
little more resistance. Buyers seemed
better pleased. No one seemed to
realize that it was just common sense
trying to check the trend toward
decadence.
Old Idea and New.
AS we approach the muddy season I
am reminded to repeat mention of
the old rule about checking spinning
rear wheel by holding the hand brake
partly on. In the old days it was suf-
ficient to hold either the hand or foot
brake, because both operated on the
rear wheels. Today it is usually the
hand brake that operates through the
rear wheels. On some cars the hand
brake operates front brakes as well.
In such cases the rule will have to be
overlooked. l might suggest as an
alternative the idea of placing the
car in gear. with ignition off, and
using the starter-motor to apply power
to the rear wheels. This is steady
power that may do the trick. 1t is
not great enough to cause excessive
spinning and there is no stalling in
volved.
Wheel Control Useful.
If you are not using one Of the
new steering wheel controls I think
you would find it a useful adjunct
to safe driving. Such control makes
it possible to handle the wheel more
conveniently with the left nand when
using the right for gear shifting. But
it does more. In event of front
wheel shimmy or blowout there is
less chance of the wheel slipping
through your hands, especially when
wearing gloves.
