SEVEN MILES FOR NICKEL.

Congress Heights inaugurated through
car service yesterday morning, after a
walt Of ten years. A Washington Rail-
way and Electric car ran across the
bridge and up the big hill through Ana
costa. where formerly the little shabby
trans with enormous brake appliances
had carried the residents OF the section,
just as though the service had been in
stalled for years.
The hour was early, but there was a
big crowd on hand and they made an
effort to restrain their feelings. An in
formal celebration OF the event will be
held in the Congress Heights Town Hall
on November 81 The cars have been
equipped with air brakes for the trip
down the hill into AnacosSia. The con-
tinuous service Just installed makes pos
sible one-fare ride from Eleventh and
Monroe streets northwest to Congress
Heights, distance of about seven miles.

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY.

In the early days OF the Revo-

before him a plan to invade Can

ness and capture Quebec by sur
prise. washington approved, the
project was undertaken, and
came astonishingly near succeed

posed of about $50 poorly clad
men, with barely 400 good mus
kets among them, and only FIVE
rounds of ammunition to each
man. After.a march of almost
incredible hafdships through 200
miles of what Is to this day q
mountainous wilderness, the little
army climbed the cliffs and bold

TAFT TAKES HIKE
OF FIVE MILES
IN THE STORM
"SIendid Bit of Exercise"
Says Maj. Butt.
FAMILY REUNION HELD

President Taft dehed the elements
yesterday and took long walk through
the streets while the rain pelted down
upon him and the raw wind tugged at
his heavy overcoat. He trsversed
about FIVE miles during the afternoon
and afterward went to Union Station
to meet Mrs Taft when she arrived
from New York at 6:I6.
ATTENDS CHURCH SERVICES.
During the morning he visited All Souls
Unitarian Church, and at the conclusion
Of the services spent several minutes in
conversation with members Of the con-
gregation. In the White House auto
mobile he returned to the Executive Man
sion for luncheon, and soon afterward in
formed Mai. Butt that he was about to
go forth for little exercise. The major
did not know exactly what was con-
tracted for when the President, In long
vigorous strides, started toward Seven
tenth street and out Connecticut ave-
nue..
Neither the President nor his aid said
much during the hike. The President
was apparently engrossed In deep thought
and the major was busily figuring how
he was going to keep the pace without
making the return trip in a carriage. The
, two had gotten a mile away from the
White House when the heaviest Of the
afternoons rainstorm descended upon
them
Splendid Exercise.
They returned 10 the White House at
about o'clock. The major sighed.
Col Roosevelt in his best days" he
murmuTed, never surpassed that walk
1t was a splendid bit Of exercise"
THE President rested until 8 o'clock.
when the faithful automobile was called
and he proceeded to Union Station to
meet Mrs. Taft.
The President and Mrs. Taft reached
the Executive Mansion in time for the
first family dinner eaten at the White
House in many weeks.
Mrs. Taft was not accompanied by her
daughter, who probably will return to
Washington later in the week
During the walk few pedestrians seemed
to recognize the big figure in the heavy
coat as the Chief Executive OF the land.
The return OF Mrs. Taft officially opens
the winter social season in this city.
Within a few days the dates Of the yari-
Gus White House functions win be ar
ranged and made public.

Coatesville, Pa, Nov. 12.-while James

Whiteman sprang from his wagon,

He Is Too BeIIieerent.

The New York Evening Post expresses
no small amount Of sympathy with the
position of the German chancellor in
these words:
lyon Bethmann-H oilweg declares frank
ly that he was unwilling to precipitate
the horrors of a European war for the
sake of little more profit in Morocco,
There is, however, the just reply to the
chancellor that IL he was convinced from
the beginning that Morocco was not
worth fighting about he should have
gone about the whole matter in a diff
ferent and more pacific way, and not
have begun belligerently by sending a
cruiser to Agadir. In other words, by
her manners toward the outer world
Germany has suffered anew. The darkest
shadow upon the whole transaction Is
that the outcome will unouestionably in
crease the feeling OF irritation in Ger
many against England"

Mr.. stilnson's New Plan.

No question is receiving more attention
now than that of efficiency, according to
the Seattle Pest-Intelligencer. It adds:
THE recommendation Of the Secretary
of War that what he calls scientific
shop management become one OF the
settled policies of the government will
serve to give new emphasis to the gem
eral demand for higher standards Of
eficiency in pubic or private life. Cities
now are employing efficiency experts. and
the biggest corporations OF the coun-
try also are conducting studies which
will tend to Increase the amount of serv-
ice they secure for a given outlay. En-
cheney really means economy, and It is
Just as good policy for the govern
rnent as It Is for the private business
enterprise The men who are talking
