For the Aut0carettes.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:


40 the EQltOr OF Inc 6veuIuS Guar.
The Evening Star having given one side
of the autocarette subject hearing and
being always fair and just, will confer
favor by now giving the other side an
opportunity. There are always some peo-
pie to object to any new arrangement. Give
the new vehicles time and possibly they
may, with rubber tires, run more quietly.
But pray do not remove them from their
present route, which is most convenient
one, and one onEWhirh; public conveyances
have long been much needed. These, run
ming across the rtoWP densely populated,
from 10th street to Massachusetts avenue,
supply need which. has Long been felt,
and are the only means of getting across the
town for many stfeete.3 By all means keep
the autocaretteso andGkeep them on their
present very conyeHient route, and we hope
before making any more complaints about
them a little consideration for the hundreds
of people who want them will be shown
And little patience will probably be re-
warded by an improvement in the vehicles,
when they will be less noisy and not SO
clumsy. What can be said for the large,
new cars running down Connecticut avenue
for noise and clumsiness7

Naval Station ON subig Bay.

Secretary Long has received cable dis
patch from Admiral Remey. saying that
the board of officers convened to select a
site in the Philippines for a permanent
naval station has fixed upon Olangapo, on
Subig bay. AS result Of their recommen-
dalton. Mr.. Long has asked that $1,0OO,OOO
be appropriated for beginning work on the
proposed new naval station. The desirable
ity of transferring the naval headquarters
from Manila bay to some more suitable
point in the Philippines has been long I'M
der consideration. The present headquar-
tiers at Cavite are not looked upon as suit
able for naval station, the depth OF wa
ter in Manila bay not being adequate.

Not since the Fifty-first Congress has the
House passed many private pension bills
al single sitting as it did yesterday. In all
10 special pension bills were passed. The
most important was one to increase the
pension of Gen. Americas v. Rice form S36
to 500. Gen. Rice made gallant record
during the rebellion He was wounded sew
eral times and lost a leg at Vicksburg. He
was formerly member of Congress from
Ohio and was the author of the arrearages

bill to increase his pension to $50. and the
House raised the amount to 500. The
House adjourned at 4:55 pm.

officers and men of the navy and marine

the recent campaign In China. The board is
to go over the papers and officials reports
of the various acts Of gallantry that were
performed. 1t is not limited as ito what
form the rewards shall take, whether in the
shape of a brevet, medal, or other method

NO CITY TO COMPARE.
Washington Leads All America In
Beauty and Interest.

Warrington Leads All A"eFic" An
Beauty and Interest.
From the New York Tribune.
"There is in this country no city to COM
pare with Washington. either IN beauty or
IN interest" said M. H. Chalfant OF Chi
caeo at the Fifth Avenue Hotel yester-
day. "Most people who go to see it as
sight. however, see little but the outsioe'
They usually charter a negro and hack.
the former serving as a combination driver
and guide and under his more or less able
tutelaRe they get their Impressions and Lack
Of knowledge of Washington. There Is SO
much to see that it is hard to tell where to
begin. I was tremendously interested In
the Capitol, for one thing, and found out
that It has not really been completed 10
this day. When the wings and dome were
built in the f1fties, 1t was intended that the
center, which is the old Capitol should be
built out SO that it's front should be flush
with the wings. and that 1t should De OF
marble, as the wings are. Inc dome was
therefore put In the center of the building
that was to be, and a result 1t Is clear
over to one side Of the building that is, and
not in its center, as one would expect 10
find 1t. I doubt personally II the plan Tor
the new center will ever be carried out.
Sentiment is too strong against 1t. The
old sandstone center was the Capitol of the
beginning of the republic. The British
burned it, and round Its smoke-grimed
walls gather the traditions and heritage OF
our first years Of government. 1t Is the
same feeling that keeps successive Presi-
dents living In positive discomfort In
house not only inadequate. but even meager
in its APPOINTMENTS. No one, however, likes
to change 1t, and all Washington Is today
up in arms against the plans which have
recently been brought forward to add wings
to It, do not know what the outcome will
be- but one plan that seems to find favor
is to divorce the home and the executive
Offices That Is, construct an entirely sep
arate building, either as house or an
office, as the President chooses, and II he
elects to live In the White House the rooms
now used for official business could then
be used for domestic purposes, or vice
versa. There can be no manner Of doubt
that five bed rooms for a presidential
household is uncommon short commons,
and there are only five available In the
White House today"

essary thing for every boy and girl. A few
miles on the bicycle, perhaps a swimming
lesson, skating or any outdoor exercise
should be as much part of the daily pro-
gram as the geography or arithmetic les
son. The evening meal should be simple
one, and for growing children, dinner in
the middle Of the day and supper at night
is far better than luncheon at noon with
a hearty dinner in the evening. Limit the
evening study hour, and only under ex-
ceptional circumstances allow late study.
If the lessons cannot be learned without
studying till 10 o'clock and going to bed
with a tired aching head, it is imperative
that the school work be cut down. 1t Is
surprising, the blindness Of parents on this
subject.
Mary must be promoted this term. 1t
would break her heart If she wasn't. She
wants to keep up with her class
. Johnnie is getting on splendidly at
school, and he practices two hours day on
the violin besides.
Are fathers and mothers blind to the
pale cheeks and listless forms of the school
children of today? and is the health Of the
son or daughter to be of merely secondary
consideration? The parents loving eyes
should be quick to detect any sign Of over
work or fatigue, and the child should be
Withdrawn from school before sickness &C
tually compels 1t.
Education Is by no means limited to
books, and a year in the daily companion
ship of a wise, tender mother may mean
more to a child than thrice that time spent
at school, Let the young daughter who Is
worried and troubled over Latin and alge-
bra and who starts out each morning with
pale face and heavy eyes. drop school work
for year and learn practical household
economy, under her mothers supervision.
Cooking, sewing, marketing and the gen.
eral care of house can be included in the
home curriculum, and the time spent in
acquiring these branches will be by no
means wasted. Cultivate a love of nature
and Of the beautiful in your child. Let him
rncr hn HQ16 nd in roh nf
flowers and insects, and thus in delight
full way learn much Of botany and natural
history.
Teach him or her the proper care Of the
body, that the temple of Cod is not to
be abused, but that health Is the duty Of
all, as far as lies in the power Of the indi-
vidual to preserve it.
So, to repeat what has already been said,
parents should realize more than they do
at present that the responsibility Of their
children's health rests upon them, for 1t is
only by conscientious parental care that the
coming generation will exemplify the Latin
proverb, "a sound mind In sound body"
