The dearest, sweetest, finest, brightest baby in all the world, isn’t he? How proudly Sister takes him out for all the world to see! You’re proud of his smart little Stroller, too,if it’s a Lloyd — the wicker weaving as smooth and even and per- fect as a fine fabric; the finish as care- ful as every little garment made for his layette. Although they’re so much better, Lloyd Car- giages and Wicker Furniture are not the most expensive, because Marshall B. Lloyd invented a method and loom which produce Baby Carriages and Wicker Furniture thirty times faster and finer than the cld hand woven products. These inventions cut labor costs, enabling Mr. Lloyd to ‘weave the finest wickers, use the best materials, employ the most skilled workmen, add the latest refinements and still sell his wicker products at gemarkable prices.

Maj. Besson is confident the future l 5 highways of the District of Colum- | bia will be concrete and asphalt. “l believe.” saiu the assistant en- gineer commissioner, “that in the city proper the streets should be of con- crete base with asphalt surface. z _ “The best treatment for the suburbs is to lay concrete streets at the start and when the concrete has outlived its usefulncss cover it with asphalt without tearing up the concrete. “When this procedure is followed You have a new asphalt street with- out the additional cost of laying a concrete bas Moreover, you get years of wear out of the concrete before coating it with asphalt.” Old Streets Resurfaced. . Besson pointed out that with- perimented ~with this plan b surfacing the following old concrete streets with asphalt without disturb- ing the concrete: Columbia road, east of Georgia ave- nue: Michigan avenue. west of lIst street northwest, and 23d ‘street south of Phelps place. As a further reason why the city should not go in for extensive devel- opment of macadam roadways, Maj. Besson called attention to the fact that that type of roadway is not rela- tively as cheap as it was years ago. Broken stone necessary in macadam roadways. he said, is expensive at this time. The freight charge alone on a cu- bic yard of this stone delivered to the District is 8 cents ore than the total cost of a cubic yard of the gravel used in concrete and 48 cents more than a cubic yard of sand used in concrete. “To meet the needs of vehicular traffic, bituminous surface treatment is essential. and when this is done macadam costs exceed concrete. Of course, it is economy to protect the many miles of existing streets and for these bituminous surface treatment is a good investment.” PROPQOSES TO IMPROVE D. C. STREET GAS LIGHTS Offer Involves Expenditure of $52,- l 1 500 for New Type Mantles and Globes. An offer to spend 352,500 in proving the quality of gas street lights in the District Is being consid- ered by Eugene Newbold of the Wels- bach Street Lighting Company of America, which has the contract for i the upkeep of gas lamps in Washing- on. Mr. Newbold has conferred with Warren B. Hadley, superintendent of street lighting for the city. While the two officials discussed in a gen- eral way Mr. Newbold’s proposition, the offer has not been formally made. Mr. Newbold explained before leav- iBg the city that for §62,000 his com- pany could equip all of the gas lamps with the new inverted mantle now m being tried on three streets In the | northwest, and in addition could in- stall on principal thoroughfares 500 new ornamental gas globes. | The instaliation of the improved itype of mantle would take $10,000, and 500 of the new globes would cost the company $12.500. Mr. another*visit to Washington within two weeks to discuss further with Mr. Hadley his plan for increasing the volume of {llumination on streets that are lighted by gas. 41,259 JUNIOR RED CROSS AUXILIARY MEMBERS HERE Latest Reports Show 4,866.379 Boys and Girls Enrolled Through- out Country.
