the other is 48 by 30 feet. Across the
rear of the building on each floor is a

MUCH INTEREST IN SALE.
Store Where Lincoln's Sons Bought
Candy Purchased by R. T. Warwick.
Much interest has been manifested in
the sale at auction seve:al days ago of
t e old frame structure at 1207 New York
avenue, where for more than sixty years
the Stuntz family conducted a candy and
toy shop. The property was bought from
the estate of Mrs. A. Stuntz by R. T.
Warwick. The price paid was $12,100.
Adam A. Weschler conducted the auction.
During civil war times this little candy
shop often was visited by the sons of
I'resident Lincoln. It was there that they
bought candy, marbles, tops and other
toys. President Lincoln often visited the
store with his sons. It was the closest
toy shop to the White House and accord
ingly was more frequently visited by the
President's sons than any other store of
the kind. Few changes have been made
in the store since the days of Lincoln.
The frame structure presents about the
same appearunee it did then.
The property has a frontage of 14.4 feet
and a depth of 85.3. It contains f,22ft
square feet of ground. The price paid
!>er square foot at tho recent auction sale
was approximately .<10. Mr. Warwick has
not announced whether he intends to im
!>rove the property with a modern struc
'i ire or permit it to stand in its present
-tate.
j STUCCO CONSTRUCTION
NOT A FAKE OR SHAM
Fills Demand for Something Artis
tic, Fire-Resisting and
Inexpensive.
The perfection of building materials de
signed to resist fire has been such that
now a residence can be built at least fire
retarding at little or no increase of cost,
according to a writer in Keith's Magazine.
The solid brick or stone wall in residences
is a known quantity, the "poured con
crete house" is not, as yet, so well estab
lished, but with non-burnable roofs
houses built any of these ways would af
ford the suggested needed protection.
Considerations of co^t. however, enter
often; also architectural and esthetic rea
sons prevail to the extent of prompting a
desire for "something different." The
sturrco house has been evolved from these
conditions, and there is good reason Cor
its popularity. There is nothing in build
ing construction that so pleasingly har
monizes with nature's color tones as the
soft gray of the stucco house. It looks
permanent, too. like ttone and brick,
without the severity in its lines or ex
cessive cost of construction.
The cry of "fake" and "sham" is peri
odically raised by the starving purist and
the millionaire iconoclast at this form ot
construction. As a matter of fact, "stuc
co applied to a wood skeleton is neither
a false form of building nor an imita
tion, but merely a humble device invent
ed by the forefathers of the man of mod
erate means to keep out the elements by
plastering their huts of re?*ds with a
coating of mud." Stucco in the past was :
invariably employed to cover some for
eign .surface unsightly hi appearance, and
as such performs a legitimate office.
Stucco is sometimes applied to brick,
also to wood lath and tile, and another
popular combination is cement plaster on
inetal lath. With this latter type applied
over wood sheathing, the ordinary con
i struction will cost aboui o per cent more I
-than the ordinary clapboard wall used
i in a frame house, while a stucco wall
I built by fastening metal lath direct to
j the studding and back-plastering will cost
! less than the frame construction and is
: superior to it for its insulating proper
i ties, rigidity, fire-resisting and enduring
qualities.

Engineering Executives.
From the Kugineering Record.
Plenty of industrial corporations have'
long since learned the wisdom of tlevel- *
oping the engineering executive with the ?
ability to deal in a large way with mat
ters of technical importance. They have
gone about this work ir? a liberal fashion i
by removing many of the burdens of
detail from the shoulders of the chief
of the engineering department: by au
thorizing the selection and training by him ,
of understudies of promise; by minim z- \
ing interruptions of his most responsible ;
work for the sake of tninor results, and
by sharing with him the proceedings of
the conference room but, most of all,
they have given him a mil share in the
conduct of corporate affairs and have
developed his ofttimes latent executive:
powers.

' PANASINE TO CARRY
UNCALLED-FOR WEIGHT
London Comment on Unusual
Handicapping of Harry P. Whit
j ney's Peter Pan Filly.
Foreign Correspondence of The Star.
LONDON, October CO, 1913.
If Jack Joyner were not possessed of
an even temperament and plenty of pa
tience, he certanily would say some dire
things about the official handicapping of
the horses he trains at Newmarket for
Harry Payne Whitney. He must have
felt in hard luck again when the official
handieapper recently gave 130 pounds to
Whitney's three-year-old 1'eter Pan filly,
Panasine, for the Bradford handicap to be
run at Leicester this week. If Panasine
were such a race mare as Hamburg
Belle, winner of the Futurity ten years
ago. and of other great events, or if
I'anasine could boast such a turf career
as the black mare Imp, winner of the
Suburban in 1SI*?, and of other great
races, one would not cavil at 130 pounds.
But Panasine is no wonder, although she
ran a remarkably good race under this
heavy impost.
"I might as well run lier, for she is
very good right now and never can be
better," said Trainer Joyner. So Pana
sine was sent to Leicester in spite of hav
ing to concede "tons" of weight to older
horses.

Dugan Likely to Head Stables.
Eddie Dugan. who rode so many win
, ners in California for Sam Hi Id ret h five ?
j years ago, is quite likely to succeed Willie
i Shaw as first jockey for the stable of
| Prince Hohenlohe-Oettringen. The con
i tract between Shaw and the Hungarian
prince has been canceled by mutual con
sent. What is behind this does not seem
to be quite clear, but Shaw says he in
tends to remain in Hungary and ride as
a "free lance." Dugan is engaged until
the end of the season to ride for Mr.
Mantascheff. who is known as "the pa
trol eum king" of Russia.

Memorial Bridge Suggestions.
To th* Editor of The J-ts":
Now that the fri?nds of the proposed
memorial bridge across the Potomac to
Arlington are considering the details of
its design, perhaps a suggestion may not
bo unwelcome. In a bill introduced at
the last session of Congress there was a
plan to place statues of Grant and Lee
at either end of the bridge. There will be
no dissenting word to this most surely*,
but would it not add to the artistic sym
metry of the deaitin and to the memorial
value or the bridge itself if two statues
were placed at both endi?
To whom, then, should the honor go?
W tty not in this way pay a tribute to
two of the most gallant victims of the
fortunes of battle in the whole wur? Op
posite the h??ro of Vlcksburg and of Ap
pomattox what worthier fig :re oould stand
than the hcroic commander of the 1st
Corps at Gettysburg John Fulton Rey
nolds? 10 his prompt action in hurry
ing his troops to tlie support of Buford's
thin line of dragoons on the morning of
the 1st of July, '???, is due more than
anj thing else the choice of that historic
battlefield. In sending word to Meade of
the heavy Confederate advance and his
own apprehension lest he might be forced
back. Reynolds wrote: "I will fight them
inch by inch, and if driven Into the town
wlu barricade the streets and hold out as
long as possible." Meade's comment was:
"That's Just like Reynolds; he will hold
out to the bitter end."
Is It any wonder that Reynolds Infused
such a spirit into his men as to draw
from Oen. A. P. Hill the admission "than
the Yankees had fought With a deter
mination unusual to them." or that Gen.
Hunt should write of Reynold*, in tin
"Battles and I/caders of tho Civil War":
"To him may be applied in h ?ider 6?n?o
Napier's happy eulogium on Ridge. 'No
man died, on that field with greater glory,
and yet there were many died and thera
was much glory.' "
And who would the knightly *on of
"Lltht Morse Harry" wish for a com
panion at the other end of the bridge*
Who could it be .?=ave "his own right
arrr." the dashing hero of the 8henar
do*h valley campaign and of the brilliant
t'mlc attack at Chancellorsville?<*tor?e
wsll Jackson? Col. KYeemantle of tha
Briti )i army, in his diary of his Joumcv
through the south, made from April to
Julv. entitled "Th?-ee Months In the
Co? federacy." has written that In the
valley of Virginia Jackson's memory was
revered almost as of a demigod When
the visitor shall cross this bridge In tha
future 1ft u? trust that he will find, upon
the pedestal of the bronze likeness of
that "Old Tronsldes." carved his dylrt
words: "Let us cross over the river ar.il
rest under the shade of the trees."
Some suggestion has been made of a
statue of WasMngton at the center of
the brldsre Is there not danger of over
doing this <orm of memorial? Would not
a bas-relief In hronse of Washington anrt
of Lincoln at paeh nid^ of the centT
