10 The Editor of the Evening Star;
Too much praise cannot be given the
new semaphore signal system in Mar
ket street. Before the advent Of the
signal system anyone wanting to board
a certain car would have to run some
times a whole block before the car
would come to a stop. Now all one
has to do is look at the semaphore and
see where the car wanted will stop.
Systematic safeguard of public well
fare. B. d. l..

always the fault of the individual. Iaziness accounts for Jnany
cases; but there are also Il large number of men whose occupations
depend ON the seasons. and who therefore are out of employment
Tor a part of the year. These are matters for careful investigation
and Judicious handling by organized charities. The present winter
season, when it is well advanced, may create some serious problems
of the unemployed in all large cities.

VIII Railroads Obcys

To the Editor OF the Evening Star.
Now that the Public Utilities Com
mission has ordered the steam railroads
to provide individual drinking cups on
the trains, beginning with the new
year, it is quite another thing whether
the railroads will obey. The public
will await with interest, as it is a long
tlnle between drinks on the railroads

TO KEEP THE BOYS ON TIE FARM.
Charles NJ. Harvey IN T.eslia,s,

(Charles NJ. Harvey IN Leslle's.,
How shall we keep the BOYS on the
FARMS" by what means may the drift
of people from the rural regions and
their concentration in the cities be dim
inished?" The automobile is likely TO
give a response to these queries which
will be of advantage to both localities.
In the past five years the automobile
has done more for the Improvement OF
the roads OF the country thar all the
other agencies did In all the wears in
which they rave been at work. II has
helped to bring the farmers into close
connection with the great trade centers.
Physicians, contractors, real-estate agents
and others who have to travel fast and
frequently have found that the automo-
bile not only does It's work quicker than
the horse, but also does it cheaper. The
experience of merchants. manufacturer
and express companies in and around the
cities has given the automobile emphatic
praise In its superiority to the horse.
In the sparsely settled regions. no,
! touched by street cars. the ADVANTAGES
OF the automobile are especially obvious.
1t carries several times the load which
can be drawn by horses, and it travels
at several times the speed. II can be OF
immense aid to the farmers. AS there are
more than 5000, 900 farms In the country
and more than 10000 600 horse-drawn We
hicles, the opportunities for the eXten-
sion Of the field Of the automobile art
practically limitless. In the past few
years It has e~manG<pated hundreds ol
thousands OF horses as burden bearers
and there are more than p 100000 horse,
In the United states.
