A Costly Change.

After an arduous five months labor
a navy board that had the all-import-
ant question under review decided to
cut two buttons off the tail of a coat
of a certain regulation uniform. That
was all, but it cost every officer in I'm
Gle Sans navy about $50. 1t meant a
new coat. am informed by an officer
of the navy that he is obliged to own
eight different uniforms. There can be
made and often are made other varla-
lions, so that he may appear in more
than eight different styles of dress.
Is it any wonder that the navy man
rivets the feminine eye? 1t would be
greater wonder if he didn't. But does
he like to spend such large part of his
salary for uniforms, even if it does at
tract the gentler and fair sex? Equally
obvious answers can be given to the
questions: Would a fish enjoy the Sa-
hara or would John Cadwalader reject
the mission to the court of st. James?

ahead Of the horse car. 1t is the public
conveyance of the future. and even Of
the hour. 1t is contrary to the spirit of
the age to hang on to outsrown con-
veniences. and especially in Washington,
which should be the most up-to-date as
we'll as the most beautiful capital in the
world. where the latest in scientific
achievement should be utilized when
practicable. The motor bus can follow
patronage whereas patronage must go to
the street car. The bus comes to the
curb to load and discharge its pas
sengers and thus minimizes street acct
dents. The bus needs no steel tracks on
which to travel; this alone is worth much
to the streets in many ways. The bus is
not noisy, and this is of considerable
value from both a commercial and an
artistic standpoint.
These are a few suggestions for con-
sideration and action by the citizens of
Washington. The condition concerns
quite materially the welfare of those peO-
pie who do not find it necessary to ride or
stand, according. to circumstances. on a
