The Street That Was 18th.

To the Editor of The Star:
The Woody Avenue article in The
Star Thursday gives the right start to a
movement for restoration of 10th street
instead of Avenue of the Presidents .
Ridicule will accomplish more than COM
plant or fervent castigation. Sixteenth
street had become as well known as 9Th
avenue in New York, Euclid avenue in
Cleveland or Michigan avenue in Chicago.
Who would dream of changing the name
or 9TH avenue? Who would dare sug-
gest changing Euclid to Avenue of the
Millionaires'' or Michigan avenue as
Pathway of the Pork Packers" Yet
each name would be as apt and fit as
Avenue of the Presidents

MERCHANTS OPPOSED
TO E|GHT-HOUR BILL
Retail Association Also Oh
jects to elsie of Safety" in
Its Present Form.

The La Toilette bill to establish an
eight-hour work day for woman employees
in the District of Columbia, which passed
the Senate recently. came In for strong
opposition at the quarterly meeting OF the
Retail Merchants Association held last
night. On motion of the association.
President r. p Andrews was directed to
appoint a committee Of seven to confer
with other committees in campaign of
enlightenment on the provisions Of the
La Toilette bill"
The La Toilette bill was characterized
by the merchantmen as piece Of vicious
legislation that is calculated to do more
harm than good to those it affects to help
and at the same time impose additional
burdens on business men. The Retail
Merchants Association is composed of
thirtytwo distinct lines of trade and. 1t
is declared. many of these will be anect-
ed. either directly or indirectly, by the
provisions Of this bill II 1t becomes law.
The committee is empowered to take the
matter before Congress.
Would Be Replaced by Men.
1t was pointed out at the meeting last
night that in many business establish
ments and Offices the passage Of the
bill would mean the replacement Of
women by men where extra time Is re-
guired during various periods Of the
year. The suggestion was made that a
nlne-hOur-law would be satisfactory, pro-
v1ded the establishments were allowed to
work, say. ten or eleven hours one day
and seven hours the next, in order to pro-
vide for rush orders.
Many members present at the meeting
last night spoke on the bill and 1t is
expected that the committee which will
be appointed by President Andrews will
carry on an active fight against the meas
ure in its present form.
The Isle Of Safety" which is proposed
for the plaza i'll front of the new Ma
sonic Temple at 18th street and New York
avenue. also came in for criticism. and a
ment of a committee to protest against
the permanent establishment of the isle
in its present form.
Ten Firms Become Members.
Treasurer E. C. Graham and Secretary
Charles ]. Columbus submitted joint
report which showed the association te
be in a healthy state. Ten firms were
elected to membership.
Secretary Columbus reported in detail
on the operations of the credit and col
lection bureau and submitted a special
report on the operations Of similar bu-
attendance and the merchantmen enjoyed

RUSSIANS VISIT THE
EXPERIMENTAL FARM
Call on the President This Aft
ernoon and Will Go to Mount
Vernon Tomorrow.

Trips to the Arlington experimental
farm and to the White House were made
today by the party Of Russian educators
visiting this country, who arrived In
Washington last evening. There are six
ty-eight in the party, twenty-five women
and the others men.
A few Of them speak English and all
Of them either French or German. They
were welcomed by a committee Of six
from the Department Of Agriculture.
headed by William E. Stafford.
The visit to the Arlington farm was
made early this morning. The visitors
were particularly interested in the meth
DDS Of the government in growing plants
that had been introduced from foreign
countries and in the method of keeping
check on crops by raising similar arops
on similar ground, but under different
cultural conditions.
Government Work Surprise.
They also expressed surprise at the
amount the government was doing in the
cultivation of drug crops and in cultivat-
ing regularly crops that could be mar
keted for medicinal uses, though usually
regarded as mere weeds.
After the visit to the Arlington farm
the party returned to Washington for
luncheon and called on President Wilson
at the White House at 2:3O clock. They
planned to go from there to the State
Department to visit Secretary Bryan. The
remainder of the day will be spent in
sightseeing
The most of the party intend to go to
Mount Vernon tomorrow. They will remain
here over Sunday and make Pittsburgh
their next place OF call.
Russian Trade Relations.
None Of the visitors seemed particu-
larry worried over the lack Of a treaty
and OF diplomatic relations between this
country and Russia. They said that
trade and travel were proceedings about
as usual
Those who were particularly interested
in the international trade relations said
|. that it was pity that the United States
did not cultivate Russian trade more
carefully.
This is done much more by England
and Germany, owing. largely, they
thought, to the nearness of these coun-
tries and their cheaper rates Of trans
portation.
At the same time, they said, Russia
offers a great import field for the smaller
manufactures The greatest trade with
this country now is in agricultural ma
chinery and the heavier factory plants.
