AIR INSPECTION
In CARS PLANNED
Interstate Commerce Commission
0verrules Protests Of Com
panies Against Tests.

Within several days inspectors of the
District health department will begin a
set of experiments to determine the
quality of air in street railway cars
operating in the city. The Washington
Virginia Railway Company has given the
inspectors permission to conduct the ex-
peTiments upon the cars operated by the
corporation.
The Washington Railway and Electric
and the Capital Traction companies, IN
answer to requests from the health de-
partment for permission 10 conduct the
tests on their cars, replied that the ex-
periments would undoubtedly interfere
with the operation Of the cars, and con-
sequently declined 20 grant the desired
permission. The health officials appealed
to the Inter- ate Commerce Commission
for a decision in the matter. The COM
mission has authorized the health de-
partment to proceed with the tests re-
gardless Of the protest Of the railway
companies.
The tests will consume a large amount
Of time. 1t will be necessary to get sam
pies of the air in cars under various
conditions. Some difficulty will probably
be experienced by the inspectors in con-
Quoting the tests. as II desires to con-
duct the experiments when the cars are
crowded The inspectors will board the
cars with two bottles. one empty and
the othe- containing water. When in the
car the water will be poured into the
empty bottle. the air of the car rushing
into the bottle originally containing the
fluid. The bottle of air will then be her
meticaIly sealed and carried TO the health
department laboratory for analysis.

CABBAGES

The cabbage is a lonely and humble
vegetable, which grows fluently and can
be raised by : mere amateur without
the use OF agricultural reports or i'm
ported soil. 1t consists OF long. thick
root. which is used as a lunch club by
cut-worms. and head which varies in
size from Sis to 5 81 Contrary TO con-
ditlons In other heads. the more swelled
the cabbage head becomes and the soft
er Il Is in the middle the more useful
It Is TO the human race.
Cabbages are raised by sowing a guam
tity of seed in a moist, warm place
When the infant cabbage has amassed a
couple of leaves IL is taken out OF the
nursery and planted in the garden. One
man can successfully bring up 100 cab
bages in his spare moments. The plant
grows slowly. and when II reaches ma
turity. can be harvested by quick
Jerk. 1t is ready TO be transformed
Into food.
To prepare cabbage for the table in
the most successful manner, first lease
foFty-acre farm little distance from
town. Then set cook stove in the mid
die Of the field and turn the wind gently
away from the town. Select cabbage
with good frontal development, and place
It In a kettle of water. Then light the
fire and retire swiftly. At the end OF
two hours eat small piece OF two
horsepower cheese. in order to neutralize
the atmosphere around the cook stove
and remove the cabbage. Wiring the
smell out of II, season to taste, and de-
YOUR It. You will md IL delicious. While
being cooked the cabbage defends itself
much as does the celebrated Polish cat,
but when it Is finally overcome It is
sweet and toothsome.
In the fail a fine dish can be made by
chopping a hundred heads of cabbage
into shoe-strings, and burying the whole

PRIMARY SYSTEM
is NOT FAVORED
Enactment of Such a Law in Dis.
trict Would Be Useless, Says
Commissioner Rudolph.

The Bristow bill providing for the es-
tablishment Of a system OF primaries IN
the District is not looked upon with favor
by the Commissioners. They have formu-
lated an adverse report on the measure.
cuno H. Rudolph. president OF the Board
Of Commissioners, yesterday stated that
he was decidedly opposed to the Dis
trict primary bill.
The enactment Of such a primary law
in the District is absolutely useless said
Commissioner Rudolph yesterday. ''It
would not benefit the District II there
were a regular system Of primaries here.
The people would cast their vote and
send a delegate TO the national conven-
tion, and that would be the end Of Il.
fail to see how any good could come
from such primaries
What do you think of the present sys-
tenn Of primaries?" Commissioner Ru-
dolph was asked.
Il didn't know we had any system" :"
replied the Commissioner. I'VE had
something that was called primary last
Saturday, but there didn't seem to be
much system 10 t. II was so far from
being a real primary that I didn't deem
1t worth while TO cast my vote. I I'M
derstand that the Democratic primaries
have some signs OF system. At any rate
such cannot be said Of the Republican
primaries in the District"
The Commissioners have prepared an
unfavorable report on the primary bill,
but 1t has not yet been submitted to
Congress Last May a similar bill was
before Congress, and the House District
Committee requested the Commissioners
to submit a report on the measure. The
District officials on June last sent an
unfavorable report on the bill 10 the
House.
The Commissioners stated that they
did not feel justified in recommending the
enactment of such a primary BILL when
by act OF Congress the suffrage has been
taken away from the people of the Dis
trict. The District officials said that the

to indorse the measure
