TURNSTILES IN CARS.
Proposition Discussed Without Deci.
sion by the Railway Commission.

Turnstiles and fresh air in the local
street cars were the topics Of discussion
at a session yesterday of the District
electric railway commission at the Glover
building. No decision was reached as to
either.
The turnstile proposition is a new one
in local circles. 1t appears that car
equipped with one Of these contrivances,
which automatically registers the fare as
the passenger passes into the car, was
on exhibition at Atlantic City last year
and attracted the attention of the street
railway men. The turnStile is operated
by the conductor with his foot, and makes
certain that no passenger can enter the
car until his fare is paid. 1t also auto
matically registers the fare when the
turnstile revo!ves. Whether the commits
sion contemplates recommending it's adop-
ton for Washington cars or not has
not yet been indicated.
The subject of car ventilation has
brought about correspondence with a
large number of cities and is still under
investigation.

DISSECTION OF SOCIALISM.
Catholic University Instructor Finds
Principles Impracticable

The principles of socialism We're criti-
cised by Frank O'Hara, Phi. D., instructor
in political economy at the Catholic Uni

on Economic Significance of Socialism"
DR.. o Hara pronounced socialism i'm
practicable as substitute for existing
forms of government because of the i'm
possibility of reconciling its practical APP
plication with any effective degree of the
Capitalization of government. Socialism.
he said, could not be carried on success
fully with agricultural pursuits, nor with
any big commercial Industry. In the lat
ter. he said, there must be a form of
