Bright and bracing weather daring thepast week has apparently pet new lifeinto the real estate market

A week or so ago agents com-plaining of dullness but yesterday themajority had assumed a more cheerfulattitude and talked as though the latefall business would be good

Hone In DemandOne of the hopeful signs of the market

to which attention was called yesterday-is the good demand for houses to rentReal estate men say this callalwayslarge at this time of year is more persist-ent than in former years Moreoverrenters are looking for houses with im-

provements They want new bouses orthose which are good condition

One dealer told a Herald reporter hehad a number of houses which the ownerswould not improve so as to make themcomfortable and attractive consequentlythey were being neglected This dealersaid the call for houses of the cluB namedhad been so marked e had advised sev-eral holders of lots to put up housesthat would rent for from J2S to 46 a monthas a good Investment He said be wasconfident of his ability to rent them atany time so that the property would notlie idle

Must Fix Up PropertyAnother agent to which m inqalry was

made along this line saida good many old houses will ne

idle over winter unless the owners Axthem up With the multiplication of fiatsand new houses people are not rushinginto any old place offered The time haspassed for the old game of getting moneyby renting booses out of repair at fancyfigures

For one I am glad of It The renter Jsentitled to have a good house when bepays and I predict there wit be a goodieal of repainting papering and generalrenovation

The conclusion arrived at from theseronversatlons was that money put intogood substantial houses renting for fromS25 to 40 are now a splendid investmentUx Washington and will be for an indefiniteperiod to come The rehabilitation ofbusiness property will probably be follow-ed by extensive repairs upon old housesuntil they are put in proper shape to livein

Along this same line operations hi thesuburbs show tbe number of home buyrs is not decreasing as tome of the

real estate men feared would bethe case Persons employed In the de-partments and others receiving fair salarle in other lines of work are makingthe bert arrangements their means winallow to get roofs over their heads onwhich the unfeeling landlord hen noclaim

As a consequence the outlook Is thatthe winders business will continue good

t those seeking a safe investment for then money and those actuallyDesirous of having homes of their own

People Want to BuyAs an illustration of what is going en

one section of city may be men-tioned the building operations undertakenat BrUhtwood Park by W McK Claytonand others Interested with him MrClayton has been building during tbetall and summer months about twentyhouses in the park

It was his original intention to rentthem This be has done as fast as thedwellings were completed except that inmore than ten cases he received offers tosoli and did so at good figures somebuying for investment and some forhomes

Another instance of the investment andnomebullding Idea is to be found out onthe Ho kvill road to the far northwesternsuburbs There has been within the putsix months a marked advance in the development of the several subdivisions

Si Alhans and just over the Dis-trict line n Maryland

The Rockville electric line serves thisregion with good transit facilities andmany persons have been going out toFriendship Heights Drummond SomersetHeights and Northwest Park to buy Joband build houses for rental or for homesThee suburbs are promising centers ofpopulation already and are continuallyinviting more settlers

Chance for Home BuyersRichard Ougb has recently completed a

fine house at The Hills and is about-to erect more nearby which will besold to home buyers or rented to personsvho desire to live in the country Further-p the line is the nw Northwest Park

where lots are being sold by William FMatttson Substantial houses will bebuilt in the near future upon lots in thatubdivision sold luring the last month

soThe plan of this subdivision te different

from those this side It contains fortyacres lying between the electric car lineand the BockviUe pike A wellgradedvenue extends through the property con-necting tht two thoroughfare On eachside is a tier of lots containing fromacre to one and onehalf acres eachThe lots are to be separatebuilding sites and are offered at priceswhich are within the means of ordinarypeople Shade trees are to be platedimmediately on each side of the avenue

nd the property otherwise improved andmade ready for home builders

Half a dozen new houses have beenerected tide year in the immediate vi-

cinity and are now occupied A E Shoemaker o Chevy Chase is the builder

HIGH RAILWAY SPEED

Lessons Drawn From Acci-

dents Here and Abroad

TENDENCY TO INCREASED PACE

Motor Vehicles Hayvc Become Sourceof Great Dnnjor More Deaths on

Highways in Bnfflnnd Than on theRailroads Traveler Said to Enjoy

The muter at Salisbury will probably

cost the London and SouthwesternCompany a m of money

The wrecking and total loss of a firstclass modem engine weighing with itstender IIS tons and costing some thou-

sands of pounds to construct the de-

struction of several luxuriously appoint4 coaches and of much minor stock the

serious damage to the permanent wayapd the employment of M men to clear

the interruption of traffic theloss of public conWenceaJl those Itemswill figure in heavy bill whteH thecompany must settle

But beyond that is the companys lia-

bility to compensate the sufferers It isImpossible at present to say what the is-

sue will be and of course the officiatewill not discuss it but the sharp dropIn Southwestern stock recorded theiisaster was certainly due to the recog-nition of the possibility of a heavy pay-ment

The cause sf the accident is still thesubject of discussion and homilies uponthe dangers of hiajn spiel are beingpreached We prefer to leave the ex-perts to answer Ute question whether thespeed of the Yankee Flyer on the curveat Salisbury was compatible with safety

the London ExpressTo those however who profess to see

la every ncccJeratkm of the mean oftransit a fresh danger to life and limbIt may be pointed out that though thisgeneration is moved to and from mushmore rapidly than was Its predecessorthe travelers joy a greater measureOf safety now than ever they did ThisIs certainly true at any rate of railwaytransit

Safety of Railway Trainsdanger of railway traveling has

been reduced to such a point Sir Herbert Jekyll declared to hIs report ott acci-

dents that in MM the choices against-a passenger being killed in a train tooldent in the course of a given Journeywere more thin 20MQBMQ to one

A leading railway official said to thepresent writer after a terrible disasterthat he never felt quite so safe from theslings and arrows of outrageous fortuneac when he was seated in a firstclasscompartment In one of his own trains

And yet the modern tendency is to j

the speed of railway locomotion-In ISO there were only twentytwostarttostop runs on British railways atspeed of fiftysix miles an hour and

Lost year this number had beenmore than doubled and in the presentsummer the number of fast trains hasbeen still further increased

Last summer the Northwestern b ganto send Its best tram from London toLiverpool a distance of 8ft miles In 208

minutes or at the rate of over aftyAvemiles an hour

The Great Central express te SbeneMcovered miles In 171 minutes attain

an speed of 181 miles anhour though after it left the metropoUtarn section at Qnainton road it traysled at a rate of stxty three inDia anhour The same line has an expressfrom Nottingham to Leicester scheduledto COYer 9 miles in twentythree min-utes equal to feU miles an hour andseveral Journeys on other lines are madeat a speed exceeding fiftynine miles anhour

American Speed RecordsThe Americana who complain of the

speed of the troth wrecked at Salisburymust be aware of their own national as-piration alter high speed The Pennsyl-vania special from New York to Chi-cago accelerated last year so thatit should cover 12 mites in eighteenhours a speed including stops of J

It Is claimed that on ISlast year this train covered three miles j

in eightyfive or one mile in3t 1 seconds

The rival Twentieth Century Limlied train to Chicago by the NewCentral and Lake Shire route was alsoaccelerated to eighteen hours for the trip-a speed including stops fiftyfour j

miles an hour Three days later it waswrecked but It was declared that thee

asterHow far the increase of speed which

Is now sought after on ordinary roadsused by pedestrians Is compatible withsafety Is perhaps a more debatable pointThe wayfarer has to educate himself tonew methods of traction and has to ac-quire a special habit of street visionwwch makes watchful and enableshim to calculate his chance in crossingthe thoroughfare

The motorbus is the latest espreesfetiof the speed erase and it is notoriousthat it has been responsible for manycasualties During May last 400 accidentswere caused in London by motor omitbuses of which sixtytwo resulted inpersonal injury and two Were fatal

Many Dontlis on RoadwayIt is a remarkable fact that horses and

motordriven vehicles killed far morepeople in isKthe last year for whichcomplete statistics are available thanthe railways did high speed notwIU-sUmJlne The deaths by accident on therailways were lfll including those of IIservants of the companies while on Q

vehicles and horses slew 121people

electric tramways has increasedthe speed of street travel but it outsellonly thirtytare deaths in IfW while ac-cMents caused by the slower horse tram-way killed fortyfour people and the stillslower bus destroyed twentynine Cabsare not always speedy but tbey killodfortynine persons hi that year

The motor car is still regaru withterror by some conservative peoplo be-cause of the rate at which it may bedriven The number of deaths attributedto motor accidents fa lit was as followsMotor ears M motor cycles II And motor vans and wagons Sa total of ftbut In the year much slower bicycleand tricycle brought 150 persons to thegrave

In the corresponding period a return of44O M miles traveled by 3GOO motorowners showed that If fatal and 6 nowfatal accidents were caused so that oneperson was killed for every 7jy milwtraveled and one injured in every 156000miles

SOLVED THE PROBLEM

Shy Suitor Made a Proposal of Marrlnge Through Phonograph

In all the village of Fairview there wasno man Quite so shy as Jonas Brown As-

a child he became speechless with con-

fusion when any one noticed him hestumbled and stammered his way throughthe gawky age and when he arrived atyoung manhood although he was popu-

lar among his own sex the sight ofgirls race would throw him into anagony of seifconectovjatMss He usuallytpok to the other side of the road whenhe saw a young woman approachingBvery one wondered what would happenshould JOnas taU At length thatday came

Arabella Hawkins was an attractivegirl from a neighboring as prettyas she was talkative and Jonas whofirst sew Yvr at church was captivated-by her charms A few days later heastonished all Fairview by walking homewith her and capped that performanceby several tentative evening calls Butwhether be strolled down flowery lasses orsat with her on the porch in the Eveningthe words he wanted to seemed tostick in his throat

Could you could you h stam-mered on one these occAsions

Could I queriedCould yon could you go driving with

me tomorrowIt was not at all what he had meant

to say but he vaguely felt that perhapsIn a buggy it would b sealer to ask themomentous Yet even therewords failed Win

Will you win you he beganWin I what encouraged Arabella

again very sweetly and patientlyWilt yOu Jonas seemed to smother

you take a walk with me tomor-row

Certainly said Arabella And so itwent on Jonas was getting desperate

Better hurry up Jonas his friendsurged hint Theres a fellow in the townwhere she lives wants her just as muchas you dol

Jonas groaned What was to be doneHe eoutt Tehoarse it l right before hesaw her bUt m her presence words failedMm AM night he lay thinking thematter over and rose the next morningweary yet triumphant He believedthat he bad solved the problem

A few days later a crate arrived forhim Looka as If it night be a

said the station agent Still asJonas was not given to literary pursuitsthis guess seemed rather improbable

That night Arabella was roused fromsleep by a voice beneath her windowSlipping on a kimono she leaned out tolisten The tones of Jonas a bit morenasal than sIte had ever heard themreached her ear

1 love you the voice to the dark saidI love you more than any one

m the worN I am sot worthy of you Iknow but Ill do everything I can tomake you happy Will you marry meArabella r-

Yes I with said Arabella and a fewmomenta later Jonas trudged home withhis phonograph under his arm

OPENING UP

Task Begun by Teacher inSouthern Institution

BLIND GIRLS BRAIN A BLANK

Even Learned to Use Arms andLcgu Tertians Work of TeaohingHer to Walk and Bat Now She CanRend and Use the Typewriter

The ease of elevenyearold MawScott promises to rival that of HeefjtKeller in Interest This cllM is said tebe the only congeal tally blind and deafperson whose education has been

One extraordinary pert of the story Isthat up to the time she was even yearsold Maud Scott bad lived entirely acradle made for her use Not a thinhad been done to teach her the naenstbeginning of normal exieteiMQ

She did not know that she couldor sit or walk When she was takjn tothe Institution for the Deaf and Damnat Jackson Mies eves prominent edocaters pronounced the ease hopeless

Like Helen Keller little Matfd Soeitfound a teacher who was willing to de-vote herself even to a seemmgty hopejaaxtask The teacher was Mrs 3 A Bsikin

The first task undertaken say the 2ttNrOrleans TimesDemocrat was te tenetsher the use of her lower and upper limbsShe was lifted front the cradle aad heldin a standing posture and after days ofpatient perseverance to tbe darkness ofilaudg mind there came its first lightShe was taught that these legs and feetwere to stand and walk on and that thestanding posture was proper and Utecustom of other people in this world

Taught Use of LimbsIt was then Meaed to hoe a lod that

the cradle she had occupied for semenyears was to be used in future only forrest Tutoring the MtUe arms aad beadswas the next undertaking It wasclear to Maud that hoc arms and fcaaoiswere given her not merely to be w wedin darkness from a cradle A belt wasplaced in the hand Mauds fingers werepressed about it

She was given the object to handle dayafter day and finally she became acquainted with it She was familiar withthe shape and size and when it had oneday been changed to one slightly different-in proportions the little girl noted thedifference in her facial expression

This was the first evidence of the work-ings of the mind of this benighted childBefore this time at intervals Maud hadfelt her lips pressed open by some ovalpointed object and food was put late liarmouth That was all she knew of satingShe had no idea of the necessity of thisprocess and if certain tastes pleased her

no method of comrnueieatiagthe fact that they might be repeated Ifshe might become hungry before servingtime there was nothing to do bat wait

Learning to BatMrs Bodkin acquainted Maud with

process of feeding herself Almost forendless days the pupil at table besidethe teacher a spoon was proceed tote herhand the angers were closely pressedabout it and a motion of conveying itfrom platter to mouth was repeated

The mind finally grasped some meaningof all this She came to know that whenshe was seated at table and a scope wasplaced in her hand there was before hersomething to eat She began to knowhow to feed herself

With these things conveyed to Ute mindof this little deaf dumb and blind childthe next thing Mrs Bodkin undertook was

means of word communication betweenand pupil The Braille method ef

conveying ideas tnrongh the means of thefinger tips in the palm of the hand wasadopted the system that Helen Kellerhad tried so effectively

Her little fingers had to be pressedinto position an raanlte number of timessaid Mrs Bodkin before she ever cameto realize what it meant and that sitecould by different tappings of her fingerson my palm indicate what was la hermind

Today Maud knows her alphabet andhas a vocabulary of about SO wsrifechiefly nouns and verbs

Sentences conveyed to ber by the toaeHor in simple language are readily wwiarstood She can make replies

Ambitious to WriteShe reads her lessons in Braille

makes copies on a typewriter She hatnot as yet been taught script It is theambition of this child now to leant writlog and to oompoee a letter to her motherShe is at present able to dictate messagesbut that does not satisfy She wants towrite the communication with her ownMOO

She loves to play with the other GhBof thee nstltution and is a favorite

with them Mrs Bodkin says that Maorijumps with joy when told that she Is

for street car ride She has a gineral idea of the form of the car and willget on her knees upon the seat aad promher face to the window panes as otherchildren do and as if she were lookingout
