Democracy and Leadership.

Democracy and Leadership.
Without leadership a democracy
is in danger of failure. No great
enterprise, public or private, can
succeed without it. Yet in this
country government often suffers
for lack of leaders. We must ask
ourselves how this can be, since
q democracy would be expected to
develop the qualities out of which
leaders are made. Such qualities
have been produced in our coun-
try, but in the past they have usual
ly been directed toward private
affairs. That is perhaps part of
the reason why leadership has been
so rare in political life. Another and
strange reason is that there is a
feeling among some Americans that

dry garbage and refuse without the
use of any fuel such as gas or coal.
Instead Of having to dash in and
out Of the house carrying quantities
Of unpleasant refuse you merely
have to amble down into your own
basement and deposit the material
in the convenient hopper of this
little incinerator. The capacity of
the outfit is three bushels and 1t
burns everything up so efficiently
that 1t has to be emptied Of ashes
only about once a month.
In order to make the unit an
odorless one the manufacturers have
made the inner combustion cham
ber with a slotted lining. This ar
rangement forces all Of the smoke
and gases given of by the fire to
pass through the flame and the
makers claim that this deodorizes
the smoke and makes 1t unobjec-
tionable to any of your neighbors
with very sensitive noses.
The unit is only "a inches in
diameter and slightly less than SO
inches high, hence it is easily in
stalled, and requires only a fue to
vent into. A continuous ring around
the bottom of the attractive heat
proof aluminium casing prevents
odors from escaping into the base
ment and doesn't allow dirt to filter
in and accumulate underneath. An
other handy little feature is the
sliding bottom door which enables
you to dump any ashes which are

Blair family since its purchase by
Francis Preston Blair in 1896. Soon
after purchasing the property, Fran

Globe, enlarged the then two-story
brick structure At that time, too,

Upon retiring to his estate in Sill

From Montgomery Blair, ownership

BY ANNABEL PAXTON,

With all the repose and formal
dignity of the early 18th century
townhouse, the old Blair house, re-
stored, is an impressive four story
brick building covered with light
yellow stucco trimmed in white.
Stone lintels span its broad, green
shuttered windows.
The simple, stately and dignified
Ionic entrance portico is an example
of the transitional architecture of
the late Georgian and early classic
revival periods. The mass and char
acter of the portico makes it a CEN
ter of interest that never fails to
attract the attention of passers-by.
It's graceful Ionic columns are
echoed in lower tone by similar but
lesser columns on each side of the
entrance door. These columns sup
port a broad entablature forming
the transom bar. A semi-circular
fan light of simple design completes
the doorway.
Strong, yet refined and graceful,
the present iron fence terminates in
iron lamp standards of unusual and
pleasing design, at either side of the
entrance steps. Swinging on up the
steps to the portico level, the iron
handrail adds it's decorative note TO
one Of Washington's distinctive
dwellings.
On Pennsylvania avenue, directly
across from the Department of
State. and just around the corner
and west of Lafayette Square, the
Blair house has figured long and
intimately in the official life of the
Nations Capital. Through its door,
way have passed such great Ameri-
cans as Abraham Lincoln, Andrew
Jackson, Martin Van Buren, Jeffer-
son Davis, Henry Clay and George
Bancroft. In this mansion Col Rob-
ert E. Lee was offered command of
the Union Army at the outbreak
of the Civil War

Why struggle with an old
fashioned sliding garage door when
you can so easily install an over
head type which runs up out OF the
way OF careless drivers. If you are
contemplating the construction of q
garage for the family conveyance
or happen to have one now that you
want to modernize, 1t is simple
matter to put one Of these doors in
place.
This door is pre-fitted for an 8x7-
foot opening and has been drilled
at the factory for the necessary
hardware. Your lumber dealer re-
ceives these doors all ready to in
stall and merely has to put in place
the various metal parts which come
to him all pa0kaged.
Because of its unique construction
the door requires no headroom over
the Intel and only requires 2A inch
sideroom for the installation of the
supporting members. 1t has pair
of tracks at the top on which the
door rolls back into the garage up
near the ceiling. A spring counter
balance makes the whole thing easy
to open and close and should make
1t boon to women who dislike the
idea of wrestling with heavy slide
door whenever they want to use the
car. The convenience of it isn't
limited to women by any means
because many an old-fashioned door
will tax the strength and patience

If you have large car in a small
garage you will find this door a big
help because it will operate in very
close quarters with even the bumper

NEW YORK. Sept. 6.-Persistent
Offering of United States Govern
ment bonds again poured into the
listed market today, swelling trans
actions in the exchange to new rec
ord levels.
In the first three hours of trad
ing the bond turnover was approxi-
mately $6OOOO,OOO, face value, of
which five -sixths was in the United
States Government division.
Losses again ranged from fractions
to about a point, which has now
brought the longer-term issues down
S to 6 points from their record
highs of the summer They are still
at fair premiums over par, and well
above the lows of last year.
Yields have risen to about 2ia per
cent, compared with close to 2ls per
cent earlier this year. At the lowest
prices a year ago yields reached
nearly 224 per cent.
Among heavier losers today were
the 212s of 1952-50, off about a point
at 101A4, and the 2l2s of l953-49,
down lis to 101 1872 by the fourth
hour. Selling then lightened some
what.
Traders said sellers were for the
most part scattered small holders,
and that large banks and insurance
companies were not selling. Some
said that the widening yields should
soon bring investment buying, after
the long period of starvation
money rates.
Sellers were said to include inter-
ior banks, investment funds of var
ious descriptions, estates and in

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-Producers
OF newly mined copper today began
selling the metal to regular custom
ers at ~ cents pound after going
through most of yesterday without
posted quotations.
The price of IL cents pound for
newly mined electrolytic metal for
immediate delivery, Connecticut
Valley, compared with 121a cents
quoted yesterday by smelling inter-
ests.
The 1-cent markup in newly
mined. or primary copper, was the
latest rise in a series of consecutive
advances lifting that type Of copper
to IL cents, compared with 10 cents
on May last.
Not since October, 1887, had pri-
mary copper sold as high as IL
cents.
High demand for the non-ferrous
metal group as a whole was mir
rored in trade reports that sales OF
zinc had been made at cents a
pound, East st. Louis base, and that
this figure could be regarded as a
minimum for the market. Some SELL
ers still refused to post price.
The Scent basis represents gain
of "a cent and is the third mark-up
in less than a week. 1t was the high
est price paid for zinc since 6.125
cents was quoted in October, 1887.
1t was also learned that st. Jo-
seph Lead Co. had withdrawn from
the market and had not followed
the new price of $50 cents pound
for lead set early today.
