What Is He Up To?

The curious stories which come
from Caracas concerning the mys-
terious actions of little Cipriano
Castro suggest very decided cat
in the Venezuelan meal.
According to a dispatch from
United States Minister Russell.
Senor Vicente Gomez, vice presi-
dent of the republic, and, in the alb
sence of President Castro, acting
President, had called upon President
castro to return to Caracas and re-
sumo the duties of President.
Nhereupon Castro refused to take
back the duties of that office. al
though he has nearly four wears to
serve, and instead, offered to come
10 the capital of Venezuela as the
private secretary of Gomez, and to
aid the latter in that capacity to the
best Of his ability in governing the
country.
This offer, the dispatch saws. was
refused. and in reply, Acting Pres
ident Gomez informed President
Castro that unless he resumed his
duties as President at once, he
would be forced TO call a session of
the Venezuelan congress for the
purpose of accepting President Cas-
tro's resignation.

Work to Do for Our Streets.

The signs are many that the leg
islation which the District is to OBJ
tain at this session Of Congress has
already been drafted and passed
Gpon in committee. The output is
likely TO be large. Yet surprisingly
few of the measures which have
been favorably reported are insig-
nificant. 1t would be hard to recall
a winter in which so many steps
forward have been taken by the
District, and such broad ones.
Nevertheless if all the important
bills now pending are made law be-
fore adjournment, half a dozen i'm
portant campaigns Will still wait to
be fought. The way to win them is
to begin early, to organize facts
not phrases-and by dint of much
emphasizing and constant itera-
tion convince Congress of the need
for the legislation desired before
the programs of the District Com
mittees have been fixed.
1t is not the purpose 70 discuss
all the local interests which could
be advanced by that kind of fight
ing. There Is one, however, which
must appeal 10 the whole city and
will require the active support of
the whole city. 1t is the resurfacing
of our downtown streets
Their condition is manifest to
every passer-by. Block after block
is filed with holes. Busy thorough
fares, like Fourteenth street be-
tween r and L streets northwest,
and quiet residence streets like
Thirty-tEird between y and p
streets, are alike in a condition
which would shame any cnterprising
town of 10000 people in the Middle
West. Even Pennsylvania avenue is
a way of hollows and humps.
The reason for this state of af-
fairs has already been pointed out
in this place. 1t is mat most of
these pavements have stood for
eighteen or twenty years and have
been worn out like an old carpet. All
that patching, darning, and seam
stitching can do TO help them has
been done. They cannot be worried
over any more without overlapping
the patches Fifteen years is the
average life Of a good pavement.
These pavements have stood the
hardest kind OF wear longer than
that.
If that is to be done, it can be
done only by the most earnest and
cooperative effort on the part of
everyone interested The aPpropria-
ton required is large. II has been
withheld from the Commissioners in
spite of their urgent statement of
the need for il TO two Congresses.
In order to obtain it next winter,
they must have the help of every
body of citizens interested in the
streets of Washington-the Automo-
bile Club, the Business Mems Asso-
citation, and the Board of Trade, rep
resenting the owners of wagons and
carriages, and the citizens associa-
tions, representing the property
owners of the several localities con-
cerned. If the men of about a dozen
committees on streets and highways
are willing TO do honest, hard work, /
that appropriation can be had next
year.

The Case of Mrs. Fox.

Nobody seems to have time to
grow old nowadays. Grandma drives
her own auto and does it so well
that she occasionally has a delight
full brush with the speed laws and
the bicycle cops. She doesn't like 10
outshines the girls at parties be-
cause she is so clever, and then her
white hair is so distinguished look
ing.
Grandma really ought to be stay
ing at home, with her hair parted
in the middle under a lace cap,
knitting red mittens for the chill
dren and socks for the heather. But
she isn't doing il. Grandma nova
days is grandma only incidentally.
She doesn't devote herself excIu-
sively to 1t; it's her avocation, so
10 say, rather than her vocation.
She believes in having n good time,
very much as ether people do, takes
good care of her complexion, tries
not 10 get too fat, and quite enjoys
the joke of being mistaken for the
sister of her own daughters.
Here's the case of Mrs. Fox. of
Philadelphia. We are not informed
that Mrs. Fox is a grandmother.
but if she is shes one of this mod
ern sort. Mrs. Fox went up TO Ne
Yawk the other day to play a bit
Of golf at the Nassau Club, in the
Tri-City League. Along with her
went her son, who is described as
six feet four inches tall and giving
promise of becoming q worthy sue
cessor of his mother in the matter
Of skill on the links, and her daugh-
ter, who is about to be married.
The Ne Yawk women, it appears.
expected TO win the match, and
might have done so but for the
great work of young Mrs. Fox. She
covered the 1s-hoIe course in eighty
two strokes, one of the finest exhibi-
tions of golfiEg ever seen in this
country, and defeated Miss Bishop,
the national champion of last year,
by up and to play.
Feeling rather more acute inter
est in good golf than in the provi-
sion of underwear for the Senepam-
bians, we cannot refrain from hop
ing that Mrs. Fox may keep right
on doing this sort of stick work,
and that her example may be a
beacon light to other women, en-
couraging them to persistence in re-
naming young. No good reason oc-
ours at this moment why folk
should not be young so long as they
like it and can manage it.
