We supply them with 1 food, and many trade conditions make | them our friends. They realize that 1t | is to their advantage to be on the clos | est terms of friendship with us. But | with the German it is different He only regards us as a. rival. The Ger man does not feel friendly toward the l German American. He regards him as in breaking away from the country of his birth.
 The Washington plan of observation cars on street railroads has spread to other cities, and the extension of the idea is accompanied by improvements in the cars for this special service A type of car in use in San Francisco is B good model. It has four rows of lon- gitudinal seats. arranged in tiers, or step fashion, one above the other, the two inside seats being higher than the outside ones. The advantage of this is that the passengers seated on the two inside rows of the ,ars have as unobstructed a view as those occupying the front rows Of ,eats. sThe car is forty feet long and .en feet wide, and can seat seventy two passengers. Several gates permit easy ngress or egress without discommod- ng the other passengers. These cars Il San Francisco make three trips |, laily. each taking about three and a !, lalf hours. All the points of local in- crest are included in the route, and tops are made at interesting places.
