sixty motor cars and cycles under the aus
piees of the Motor Car Club in an inaugu-

ceded by a breakfast at the Met-opoIe.
after which the chairman, anil loud
cheers tore up the red flag. which, ac-
cording TO the law. it has hitherto been
necessary TO have carried in front of rold
motors.
A number of the motor cars are electrics,
others belong to the Britannia's company
system and to the Great Wheeless Car

cate was represented by over a dozen cars
and vans. and the Pennington carriage an

WHEN GIRLS SHOULD MARRY.

HhOOScHcepcFBs
From the Pttsbufg Dispatch.
A girl should marry when she is capabl
OF understanding and fulfilling the duties
or a true wife and thorough housekeeper
and never before No matter how old she
may be. If she is not capable Of managing
house In every department of 1t she is
not OLD enough to get married. When she
promises TO take the position Of wife and
homemaker, the man who holds her nrom-
lse has every right to suppose that she
knows herself competent TO fulfill it, If
she proves to be Incompetent or unwilling
ne has good reason to consider himself
cheated No matter how plain the home
may be. If 1t is in accordance with the
husbands means and he finds IL neatly kent
ana the meals mo matter now simplel sery-
ed from shining dishes and clean table
linen, that husband will leave his home
with loving words and thoughts and look
ahead with eagerness to the time when he
can return.

as any one could with the same material,
and serve 1t neatly after 1t is prepared, she

HAND STREET SWEEPING.
What the Superintendent Has to Sny
About the Experiment..

What the Superintendent Has to Sny
About the Experiment..
In a special report TO the District Com
missioners Superintendent Mckenzie of the
street cleaning department gives his views
In regard to the experiment Of cleaning the
streets by hand instead of by machines.
He states that he has been unable to re-
duce the cost per 1000 yards to the con-
tract price for machine cleaning He
recommends that the experiment be con-
tinued.
The actual cost per 1000 yards for clean
ing F and G streets from 9TH to 18th street
northwest by hand since October IL is given
in the report 521z cents THE expert
ment," he says, has shown that 1t is Just
as easy to sweep the block pavement by
hand as 1t Is to sweep the asphalt 1t would
cost from 30 to 33 cents per 1.OOO square
yards to clean all the city streets by hand "
He thinks 1t would be advisable to sweep
at least a portion of the asphalt streets
by hand. and he estimates that IL one third
OF the total concreted area was swept by
hand and the remaining two-thirds by ma
chine. 1t would cost $25 less per day to
clean the two-thirds by machines than 1t
would cost to clean the other third by hand
Further. he estimates that if the whole
city was cleaned by hand it would cost
the District S115.5O more per day than by
the present method at 24h cents per 1OOO
yards.
Major Davis Views.
Major A. H. S. Davis sex-superintendent Of
the street sweeping department. was asked
by Star man what he thought of the
proposition of sweeping our streets by
hand. Il am decidedly in favor of it," he
replied. And the work should be done by
the city authorities and not by contract"
Asked If the advantage of hand cleanin g
over that done by machinery, would COM
pensate fer the additional cost,-he said :
"Cnquestionably, if cleaner condition Of
streets is desideratum. The superiority
of hand sweeping over machine sweeping
as every one must see who gives thought
to the matter. lies chiefly in the fact that
the hand broom may be pushed over very
until it is clean. while the machine broom
can pass over but once. and there are
thousands of depressions and other irregu-
lafitieS in all pavements that can only be
reached and properly cleaned by careful
hand sweeping.
THE question of slight additional ex-
pense should not be a factor with the Com
missiGners. when considering the advisable
ity of making hand sweeping the rule and
not the exception. Every citizen with
whom l have talked on the subject favors
the project. What all most desire is clean
er streets. But. really. l believe hand
chine cleaning. Many streets and sections
of streets are swept from day to day that
do not need sweeping. but they are on the
schedules, and the contractor would be
censured if he did not go through the
FORM If the work were done by hand dis
cretion and good judgment would omit
scch sections and pass on to dirtier ones"

Undue Proportions.
The commissioner general of immigration
in his annual report shows that during the
last fiscal year the arrivals of immigrants
in this country aggregated :'43. .3G7, of whom
$40 46S were landed and 2,190 were debar-
red and deported at the expense of the
various steamship lines by which they
came. OF those leported 77G were found
to be under contract 20 perform labor in
the United States, made prior to their
arrival, and 2,O23 were returned as be-
longing to other prohibited classes.
With some exceptions. the report states,
the physical characteristics of the year 8
immigration were those of hardy, sound,
iaborng class. The amount of money
brought into the country by Immigrants
was at least $4.917,31S, and probably was
largely in excess Of these figures
The statistics at hand, the commissioner
general states, do not justify the con-
clusion that our alien population is grow

the figures for the past year. 3i3 267, with
the average annual immigration for the

seriously that there has been any material
