TAXICAB NOW UNDER FIRE
AS SYMBOL OF MODERNITY

tached are but exceptions that mark the
rule.
When the Brennan gyroscope is per-
fected we may see a two-wheeled taxi
and IL will be a thing of dread. For the
present it cannot well manage with less
than four wheels save in skidding around
corners. when one may serve. But it has
unuuestionably all the i'll repute that a
two-wheeler ever had, plus a certain in
describable immoral quality of its own
which il perhaps owes to the chauffeur.
It is at once paradoXical and significant
that the leaders of the cheaper butter
strike in Paris should have paraded the
other day in taXicabs. On the fact OF II,
riding in cabs is not an economic meas
ure. One tour of Paris such as Baedeker
recommends for a preliminary inspection
of the splendors of the capital will eat up
the price of much butter of the expensive
unsalted sort which cultivated French
taste demands. One might as well order
game fowl as a protest against the price
of round steak Yet this is to ignore the
peculiar qualities of the taxi; in mass the
effect must be cumulative. In New York
reformers desperate enough to parade in
taxicabs would be seen at once to De ca
pable of any mad act of violence; even
in Paris the scene may nave been I'M
pressiYe
valued Dy NONebAts
No one has yet offered statistics Of the
actual crimes of which the taxi has been
guilty. Possibly it is because in every
case of accident taxi is sure to figure
in the top headlines that 1t seems so
peculiarly murderous. The word is short,
well fitted to the needs Of the harassed
headliner. who counts not syllables, but
letters on his fingers and plies therefore
a more difficult task than the mere poet
II has, too, thanks to fits K, snappy
twentieth century quality that appeals 10
the modern mind. Yet 'tansy," the
word nearest like II, has mild, sweet,
bucolic flavor, as OF Feeding Hills and
Agawam, remote from all suggestions OF
the Great White Way or blond ladies
with illegal revoIvers in their NUNS.
Strange what force may lie In single
letter! At all events, the public has
taken the taxi, for bad or for worse. as
the symbol OF one sort Of modernity. and
share In the quest with feverish interest
whenever the police are hunting for one
concerned in running over an Infant or
in the mysterious murder OF CLUB
man." The taxi has become one Of the
most valued properties Of the novelist.

GLEN ECHO PARK.

To-day will be a gala day in the Glen
Echo Mardi Gras festival
All of the amusements will be going,
and there will be four concerts by Mills
orchestra This feature of the festival
is free, as are also the moving pictures
in the ampitheater and the shadow
dancing sketch.
Attendance at the park has been big
ger the past three days, during which
the carnival has been running, than 1t
has all season. More than 1000 young
people attended the opening Thursday
evening, and since then the attendance
figures have increased with each succeed
ing day. sa
The festival will run all week, COM
ing to a close Saturday with an evening
of wholesome fun and. frivolity. Wash
ingtonians have taken to the fun of con-
fetti and paper ribbons with a whole
heartedness that has more than justified
the park management in keeping the re-
sort open.
Monday evening the elimination prize
waltz will be held on the pavilion. The
judges will select the six best couples
who will be eligible to compete in the
finals for a solid gold diamond-studded
medal.
Tuesday evening will be left more or
less open, so that those attending can
enjoy the evening as their Individual
tastes dictate.
Wednesday evening the dancing pavilion
will be cleared for sufficient time to de-
termine the winning couple in the finals
of the prize waltz for the diamond medal
An elaborate fireworks display has been
prepared for Thursday evening The set
pieces win be fired In the lower end Of the
park, giving the advantage of a natural
amphitheater for the benefit OF the spec
tators.
The final confetti carnival viii be given
Friday night and Saturday. There will be
music practically all day to-day by Mills
orchestra. The first concert win be given
at 2:So in the AFTERNOON, There will be a
second at 4:3O, and two others In the
evening at 7:30 and $50.

Every type OF vehicle has what might
almost be called its moral quality, from
the numbering, honest democracy OF an
omnibus to the rakish audacity of a tan
dem cart. To some old-fashioned people
all motor vehicles are devilish, whether
or not they bear with them a Whit from
the Dit. But why is it that the altogether
commendabIe style of public carriage
known in full as a motor taxicab, and on
the lips Of the people as a taxi, should
from the outset have acquired a reputa-
tion so peculiarly sinister? As device for
protecting the public from eXtortion, the
open-faced meter of distance and fare is
all that could be asked. 1t should have
the Endorsement Of DR.. Wiley and the
Consumers League, and nobody has ever
quarreled with it except the drivers IN
towns once notorious for tolerated brig
andage. 1t may not protect stranger
ignorant enough not to see that his
driver is making a great circuit to reach
nearby point, but for an honestly
steered course 1t gives an honest and
fairly close register. 1t should be
honored among vehicles for its probity;
yet we find the exact reverse TO be the
case.

THE BENEVOLENT BUTLER.

From the Times Of India
A Calcutta correspondent reports "a
truly horrible Incident which befell an
English lady. Her butler was in the
habit of calling loudly beneath her win
dow every evening about Z. His cry
suggested that he was calling either the
cattle or the chickens home; but though
she had neither. the lady for some time
took no notice. Until one evening hay-
ing the curiosity to look, she was hor-
rifed to see the butler, like dusky
pied piper, surrounded by a troop Of
rats.
There were quite fifty OF them, from
the big bandicotes to small muskrats.

most of his time and money in Europe,

He returns from abroad and finds the
business very much run down. But he
also discovers "Maggia Pepper" who, un-
aware of his identity, tells him few
pointed facts about running a depart
ment store. Despite her rough exterior
and crude way of talking, he is so i'm
pressed with her ability that he makes
her his private secretary. Her troubles,
however, are by no means over. She has
a niece who has developed a shoplifting
habit under the careful tuition of a
thieving mother and a villalnous father.
To shelter this child, and keep the
mother and father from revealing their
relationship and thereby endangering
Maggies position, requires all her time
