GIVE US MORE TRAINS.

This territory is entitled to more
consideration. II is tho most pros.

Southern traverses after leaving the

This movement of the Grecnvillc
Board of Trade ought to meet with
the approval and hearty cooperation
of each town between Toccoa and
Blacksburg, for it gives them untold
advantages in the way of transporta,

to grant this concession, if conccs

southern railways earnings. The
Piedmont section does volume of
business, second to none along the
line, and is deserving Of better ac.
comodation than is mcted ont to it.

LANGDON's REAL NEED.
. Editor Of The Washington Times:

To the Editor Of The Washington Times
Your editorial on the Langdon Park
md the comments of Commissioner
West are certainly proper at this time.
The people of Langdon are more inter-
ested in having their streets graded and
cadamized than they are In a park
that is to be bought at least ten times
liz face value, and as a taxpayer !, for
one, object to paying for parks when
the streets of Langdon need all the
money We are able TO get for this dis
tTict.
Frankfort Street is nothing but mud
from. Twenty-second to Twenty-sixth
Street At the present time IL Is i'm
POSSIBLE for vehicles to travel on TINS
thoroughfare and pedestrians can
scarcely get over the ground without
losing their rubbeTs. And yet they are
talking about buying a park at 20 cents
per foot. with no way 10 get to It, eX-
cept. perhaps, by "a flying machine
trust the Commissioners VIII see
that we get what we need in Langdon.
That IS improved streets-and the park
will keep until the citizens OF Langdon
have macadamized streets and side
walks When that time does arrive. we
can walk TO the park with pleasure, and
lie beneath the trees. II there be any.
and think how beautiful it IS 10 rest on
ground that cost 20 cents per foot.

Grains of Comfort.
Dr.. Wiley Says Potomac Mud Kills
Dangerous Germs.


The learned DIR. Wiley advances all
interesting and rather comforting
theory in connection with the condi-
ton of the Potomac water-a theory.
by the way, which has been aired be-
fore on similar occasions, by other
people. He says that while mpleas-
ant to look upon, the water Is not
really so full of germs as when 1t Is
clear, because the mud interferes with
the germs.
His explanation Is rather comph-
Gated. but so far as it can be sum
married it seems to be this. The RAIN
stirs up the mud, which comes III
clouds to the surface, bringing with
lit germs of an. innocuous kind. We
have all seen the mud, but not the
germs, and have no way of knowing
whether they are benefcent or ms
honant. The water when clear Is just
as full Of germs as 1t can be, so that
when the mud germs come up they
drive away some of the other germs,
it being an axiom in physics that 10
two bodies can occupy the same place
at the same time. Hence the more
mud the fewer germs. If we could
manage to drink mud or eat dirt we
might be able to do away with the
germ altogether.
In view of this it seems almost dan
gerous to risk the return of the germs
| by using private filters and sucl
things, however much it may add tC
the comfort of the citizen. If It /.
more healthy to drink mud than water
we ought to feel safe. But the fac
IDS. we all have a sneaking feeling thai
it would be pleasanter to drink watel
containing neither germs nor sections
of real estate.

FadS and FliTtatiOnS.
Danger That Basketry, Nature Study
and Beadwork May interfere
With Love Making.

Fear Is expressed by a sentimental
list in the New York SUM- as to the
effects of modern fancy work and
fads on summer Iove-making. The
sentimentahst plaintively calls atten-
ton to the fact that whereas young
people used to take boat and sail
under cleaning moonlight over mp
ping waters. without anything 20 do
but spoon, or sit in hammocks in dis
creetlv shaded gardens. or distribute
themselves among the rose bushes,
they now take opera glasses and hunt
birds. or sit in parlOrs discussing the
merits of different sorts of raf1ia ma
terials, or things like that. And
what, we are asked, are the possibih-
ties of love-making when a girl -
counting beads for a purse2
These apprehensions seem really IN
be unfcunded. when one considers the
matter seriously. At a time when sen
Itimentalism was far more fashionable
than now and might be considered
universally prevalent, girls did fancy
work, like tatting, embroidery,
crochet work. and knitting, which take
quite as much Of a persons attention
apparently. as raflia and beadwork
and vet the world went on marrying
and giving in marriage. 50 the love
making must have been accomplished

to firt will not let a little matter OF
that kind interfere with it.
The fact is that occupations whici
seem to be absorbing are not Away
so in reality. Youth and maiden may
take spy glasses and books on bird.
