w - Washington busi-
w ness men do not want to save
daylight. The proposition to have the
hands Of the clock in the summer time
indicate that 1t is nine o'clock when in
reality 1t is only eight o'clock does
not meet with favor in their eyes,.
The national capital has been strug-
CLING along under standard sun time
in the summer time for a good many
years, in the opinion of its conserva-
tive business leaders. They have de-
cided that the city car continue to do
the same in the future.
Members of the two trade bodies

of commemorative decided that they
can save trouble by not saving day
light by fooling with the hands of the
city's clocks May 1 and October 1.
They have so notified Commissioner
Mcfarland.

suggestion from the National Daylight

THE United States is not likely to
make great progress in aerial
navigation during the next fiscal year
as a result of any encouragement OF
fered inventors by congress.
The spirit of economy in govern
mental affairs is now so pronounced
as to discourage even the asking OF
funds by the wa- department for the
purchase of any class of air ships.
Gen. Allen, chief signal officer, advo-
Gated last year an appropriation of
$500, goo for experimental work, and
he succeeded in not only having that
estimate sent to congress by the war
department, but in having it favorably
acted upon by the committee of the
whole house, only to meet defeat be-
fore the appropriation bill was passed
by the house itself.
This year there is such close par
ing of all estimates that it is not likely
that any money will even be asked for
this purpose.
The board of ordnance of the army
now has $4,000 for air ship expert
ments, $4,000 to be paid to the

Parks to Line the Potomac River

of the city's lands bordering the river.
Establishment of Potomac park was
the beginning of improvement, and if
congress shall approve of the latest
plans, it will not be long before the
river front of Washington will be a
source of pride.
Commissioner Judson's. plans in
clude the building of stone or concrete
docks in place of the wooden struc-
lures and shanties that now mark the
busiest part of town. 1t is proposed
in time to have a splendid driveway
and promenade, a scheme which, it is
believed, will lead to the extension Of
the city to the other side of the Po-
tomac. There is to be built a recrea-
ton pier where the fish wharves now
are.
Potomac park itself was established
upon the fats, the elevation being
made with the mud and clay dredged
from the river when the channel was
deepened. This park is only the be-
ginning, and similar recreation places
will be established along the river
front now available for commercial
purposes. Along the upper Potomac,
too, it is proposed to make parks.
In the extensive river park system
contemplated provision will be made
for the benefit of Georgetown and
East Washington will have great
driveways and promenades. Here the
shores of the eastern branch of the
river are low-lying fats.

The countess has chosen for her
debut the role in which Mary Garden
made her first appearance-that Of
Louise. She has been studying sing
ing with Jean de Reszke in Paris. She
is still as handsome as she was in
other days, when she wore wonder
fully fancy dress costumes at the so
cial affairs in the nations capital.
The latest slight that caused the
countess to abandon diplomatic and
official life came from the czarina of
Russia. Her majesty declined to ap-
point the countess one of her maids
of honor, a post which it has been Gus
tomary to give to the daughters of am
bassadors and very high officials
Count Cassini pressed as urgently as
possible for the customary honor, but
the empress, said NO"
This refusal was made particularly
cutting because the daughter of Ba-
ron Rosen, who succeeded Count Cas-
SIM as ambassador at Washington,
was recently appointed maid of honor
to the czarina.

IN LINE with the general movement

These provide for a park system

the Identification of both sides that
will be a credit not only to Washing
ton but to the nation.
In the opinion of Engineer Commits
sioner Major w. v. Judson, U. s. A.,
Washington's river front would be n
disgrace to a small town." and, re-
marking recently on the present con-
dition of the Potomac's banks, the
commissioner added that altogether,
the spectacle on the river is one
which, to a person acquainted with
the trim and often elegant quays of
the capitals of Europe, can not fail
to arouse some measure of surprise"
By the terms of a recent decision
of the federal supreme court, the ma
tional government has entire control
