IMPROVED STREET CAR SERV.
ICE ON F STREET,

Long suffering patrons of the F
street car line and its branches have
something to be thankful for, even if
the cars used on these tracks continue
to be one designed for carrying the
greatest possible number of people
standing up instead of sitting down.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
has ordered the company to operate
more cars.
From Ninth and F streets to Lincoln
Park conditions have been particularly
bad, and from the same point to
Georgetown they have been worse. The
box cars with the narrow strip of seat
running lengthways of the car, giving
passengers barely enough purchase to
stick on when fortunate enough to
quit the overhead straps, have hereto
fore been too few to accommodate the
traffic. People have been jammed in
so tight during the rush hours that
they have wondered what sort of a
joke Congress was playing on the Dis
trict when it enacted the law reuuir-
ing the street railway companies to
furnish convenient and comfortable
transportation" The new order of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
should relieve some of this congestion.
Citizens of Georgetown who are
forced to ride on the F street line will
be materially benefited, as the new
order provides a two minute schedule
from Ninth and F to Georgetown from
4:3O to p. m. The increasing popu-
lation of Georgetown has made such
a service necessary long before this.
Belated as it is, it will be appreciated,

ton which bears the name christian, ="
and with this name is associated all that
Is good and noble and courteous.
An inquirer is likely to ask whether
the Bachelors Club decides who shall
and who shall not occupy a room in the
Y. NJ. c. A. Indeed, one may even
inquire whether this is the measure of
the religious spirit manifest in the Y. M.
C. and whether this is the highest type
of character that institution produces.
Does 1t not seem paradoxical, not to
say hypocritical, that Christian mission
aries should go abroad to persuade
Chinese to adopt the supposedly true
faith, and when one chances to become
Christian the very votaries of that re-
ligion refuse to associate and even per-
NIT to lodge in the same building one
of their new-found brothers? 1t would
be well for the Bachelors Club to re-
member that their Master with deep
pathos once said THE foxes have holes,
the birds Of the air have nests, but the
Son of Man has not where to lay His
head"
The conduct of these young men is not
such as would commend their faith or re-
ligion, or even the Y. NJ. c. A. to the
broadminded and large-hearted Ameri-
can, and most certainly not to Cheny-
tinz T. Wang and his countrymen. The
Y. NJ c. A can i'll afford to disseminate

ISN'T "EVERYWOMAN" A MIS-
LEADING TITLEl

A pathetic interest attaches to
"Everywoman," that modern variant
upon the medieval theme of the mys-
terry and morality plays such as
"Everyman," because of the death of
the gifted author on the very day of
its first presentation. Competent
critics are agreed, however, that
"Everywoman" has merits of its own
1t has succeeded in exciting comment
and the indications are for a long run.
A correspondent of The Times makes
an interesting point in regard to the
title of the play. She thinks it should
be called "Anywoman" rather than
"Everywoman," and makes out a very
good case. "Everyman" derived its
title from the fact that every man
must die, but "Everywoman" is a
misnomer, she contends, because, while
any woman might be led astray by
passion or wealth, mistaking them for
true love, not every woman would; in
TACT, let us be glad to say only a
foolish few are" In the name of her
sex our fair correspondent protests
against the implication expressed by
the sweeping title of "Everywoman,"
and offers "Anywoman" as a substi-
tute. The point seems to be well
taken, and we commend it to the con-
sideration of those who have its
destinies in charge

CURFEW LAW A STEP
IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
Good citizens and parents who recog-
nize obligations to raise their children
without annoying others and to be
credit to themselves, welcome the cur
few law as an aid to their efforts to
promote peace and virtue in the city.
Others preferring that their children be
self-raised and on wild oats" recog-
nize no duty to them or their neighbors,
and, naturally, like the man who is ar
rested for 'nonsuppOrt, kick at the
proposal. Others yet in mistaken idea
that "curfew'' means trampling on in
dividuaI rights lit is recognized in civil
Szed countries that one has only
right to do right, raise protest,
which begS the question, and is dis
proven by reading the law and noting
it's application elsewhere and usually
betraying the fact that they are the
very ones the law Is intended to reach.
In many places workman is assured a
chance to sleep, and that his child II
at church, a neighbOr's, or home, and
not deceiving parents by lettering on
the street or getting into irreparable
mischief. At present it is lawful to
lay in wait in the shadow until the op-
pOrtunity comes to waylay the traveller
After that the police may act. No hon
est man Is afraid to tell what he is
doing nor is he afraid of the curfew
/ am reminded in this of an old familiar
sign, Gentlemen will not and others
must not and this is the
point about all laws, but the law must
pTecede the must"
