Otherwise, Washington Ex
change Is Dull and Narrow.
Sell at 82.
Aside from the Issues or the Washing
ton Railway and Electric' Company, all
of which were In good demand at pre
vailing prices, the market on the Wash
ington Stock Exchnngo today vroa dull
and narrow.
Thero was no pronounced preasuro to
ell, however, and quotation figures, In
the majority of Instances, remained at
the levols established on the previous
day.
After a round lot of 100 shares of
Washington Railway and Electric pre
ferred stock had sold at 82, the buying
broker bid the same figure for another
100 shares, and there, were several bids
tor odd lots on the tloor at that figure.
Tho ottering price was 82H. A total of
15 shares or Hallway common brought
W,i, and 10,000 worth of the 4 per cent
bonds of the company wcro traded In
at 81.
The more threatening aspect of the
Mexican situation had a depressing
effect 'on Qrcene-Cananea Copper
stock, and the hid price dropped 2
points to 45. Washington Gaa stock
continued tn ease off. An odd lot of
6 shares was disposed of at 75 and
tho bid for quotations was lowered
U a point to 74. Tho best bid for
Mergenthaler Llnotypo was 165, or )
of a point below that of yesterday.
A sale of 5 shares was made nt 166.
Norfolk and Washington Steamboat
Company stock was advanced 1 point
And Continental Trust Company stock
njoyed a similar rise.
Tho Eastern Light and Fuel Com
pany has declared the regular quar
terly dividend of 2 per cent, payable
April 1 to stockholders of record

500 RECRUITS ARE
SELECTED FROM 2,400
Officers Disregard Clock in
Search for Volunteers.
When Uncle Sam's recruiting officers
Caso sounding the call for 20,000 men
to "enlist and help catch Villa," their
campaign can neither be called a howl
ing success nor a dismal failure .In tho
view of tto men directing the work.
The 500 men out of 2,400 applicants
accepted on the first report, howewer. Is
sufficiently large not to be diecourag
Ing, for recrultng had been at a very
low ebb.
Moreover, in the language of Adju
tant General McCain, "we will get them
all In time."
He Is encouraging overy recurlting
officer to tho utmost endeavor. They
are ordered to disregard the clock in
their hunt for men.
Ajid the standard Is high. None of
the unfit will b accepted. They must
measure up to the army standard.
Install Devices to Control
Ether Administration
A new device to regulate the adminis
tering of ether, that will prevent over
dosing, has been Installed at Georgo
Washington University Hospital.
This device Is the invention of Dr.
Pred Montgomery, a graduate of tho
George Washington University medical
school In the class of 1009.
It is called an etherometer. By its
use a definite, determined amount of
ether Is administered to the patient
under pressure of comprexaed air. This
device is doubly useful In that it se
cures the patient from danger of ovor
doslng and cuts down the amount of
anesthetic used to an exact quantity
and tho minimum necessary. None of lt
is lost thiough evaporation, as is tho
case In the usual metnoas 01 use.
Memorial Address.
An address commemorating the serf
Ices of the late Dr. Isaac M. Wise wilt
be delivered by the Rev. Dr. Abram
Simon tomorrow evening In the Eighth

MENACE IS SEEN
SMALL APARTMENT
Modern Mode of Housing De
nounced by Speakers at
Lenten Conference.
Apartments were pictured as "destroy
era of civilization," as "disintegrators- of
the home," as conducive tp tho down
ful iof Rome, and "not a whit better
than tenements, anyway." by various
speakers before the Associated Chari
ties' Thursday morning "Lenten confer
ence at Rauscher's, today.
Dr. William C. Woodward, health of
ficer of the District, said he had been
criticised for approving plans for build
ing houses In Washington less than
fourteen feet wide, but he said he In
tended keeping right on doing that be
cause ho believed a slnglo family home,
oven If only twelve feet wide, better
than tho apartment.
John Ilildcr. field worker for the Na
tional Housing Association, was tho
principal speaker. Ho Indorsed all the
things Dr. Woodward had said About
apartments In introducing him, and
continued;
"Decadence of nations has been largely
due to types of homes. Rome's popula
tion was huddled together in lbs latter
days in worse tenements than any you
can find In New York.
"Apartment life- destroys family unity
and Integrity, and It detracts from tho
Individuality and virility of members of
the family. Germany today Is able to
fight against overwhelming odds bo
ciruse of the Integrity of her family
life."
Say All Are Alike.
Dr. Woodward in introducing another
speaker. Dr. George M. Kober, said
thero was no difference In tonenmenta
and in apartments so far an their bad
effects are concorncd.
"Apartments that cost J10.000 a vear.
tenements that cost ten a month, they
arc all ellke in tbelr effects, they tako
their dwellers away from the earth,"
said Dr. Woodward. "Why, there aro
plenty of nkr In npartments who
couldn't go down and attend to a fur
nace If their famll were freezing to
death."
Mr. Ihldrr described tho proposed
Ellen Wilson Homes, and said they
contained ovor fundamental of tho
home, light ond air, winltatlon, and
privacy. He laid great empahls on tho
latter point.
Dr. Ucorgc M. Kober described tho
work of the Bonltary Housing Company
In providing good houses nt a low rent
al to laborers. He said that this com
pany now houses 808 families. He said
a feature peculiar to this plan in
Washington Is the rental rebate, by
which a month's rent Is put Into a re
pair fund, and that part returned to
tenants whlcn is not so used.
