Children in the Streets.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Now that warm weather Is approaching.
when we must keep windows open and
when those who don't or can't go away
from the city like to enjoy more or less
quiet evening in front of the doors, some
thing ought to be done to prevent the loud
and boisterous conduct of assemblages of
children, especially after dark. While, of
course, these evils do not exist in all sec
tions, yet in some they are almost unbear-
able. l have children of my own, and like
to see them as well other children enjoy
themselves, but | always know where they
are and see to it that while amusing
themselves they do not annoy other per-
sons. Some parents, however, turn their
children on the streets, and so long they
don't bother them seem to care little how
great a nuisance they are to others. No
whooping and yelling should be allowed on
the street, after dark, especially

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Your editorial in the issue of Friday con-
cerning the new bridges is excellent, but
unless the bridge can be approached from
the south via some other road than the
Alexandria and Washington turnpike, as at
present, and as advocated before the board
of engineers by the commissioners of Alex
andria county, and by other Interested
parties, the very object Of having a sep
arate highway bridge for which the gov
ernment has been willing to appropriate
more than $50o,oV will be lost; namely, the
possibility of approaching the city of
Washington with private vehicles without
being subjected to the danger of driving
alongside passing railway trains, for upon
the Washington and Alexandria turnpike
there are tracks which are used by the
Washington Southern railway. Seaboard
Air Line, Chesapeake and Ohio railway.
