To date this system has cost $23,256,618.25. The proposed disposal plant will cost | between ~ $4,000,000 and $5,000,000. | This plant, however, will not change conditions at Washington, Most of this clty's sanitary sewage, which is the type that bears the typhoid germ and other danger bacilll, is emptied from | the main outlet below Blue Plains. With Washington growing at its pres. ent rate the pollution from that sewer may soon menace the fish and oyster industry of the lower Potomac. i Statistics compiled by the National Board of Fire Underwriters show that there is a fire in some home in the United States every three minutes. This is an average for a period of five vears. At this rate a town the size of Dallas, Tex., or Dayton, Ohio, would | be destroved regularly every five ears. Defective chimneys and flues ause the greatest loss due to any in. dividual cause, though sparks on the roof rank next. Electricity ranks lowest among the avoldable causes.

Our public has been very helpful and cooperative—in the patience with which it has braved the dust and dirt, and overlooked the disorder. But all that is over now. The “new ”Mode —and that’s what it really amounts to— is finished—and the new order of things will begin to function at once. In the changes made we have endeavor- ed to increase our efficiency—among other things a safe and rapid elevator has been installed—that will carry you quickly to the floors above. Expansion has been possible at many points — resulting in greatly increased space for display and selling. And the whole building—within and without—has been painted and decorated. The one end in mind has been — im- provement. And that has worked many changes in the sources of supply of our merchandise. We’ve added many new lines of men’s wardrobery—lines notably famous and ad- mittedly superior. They belong in The Mode—and The Mode is able now with its greater facilities to include them among its featured brands. We are very proud of the distinction which this Shop has earned—and shall strive zealously that it may continue the highest authority on matters of dress among men—relied upon for the integrity of its quality and consistency of price. For our part—we feel that we now merit more than ever, your preference—and that we are in a position_to serve with that in- dividuality which makes one feel that there is a personal interest being taken to supply his wardrobe needs.
