Cleveland is the only Western team

winning two out of nine battles. st.

Cincinnati and Pittsburgh were
used by the Cubs as stepping stones
to first place. Tinker beat Evers twice

other five games st. Louis took the
odd.
The Cubs have made this good rec
ord with one pitcher-Larry Cheney.
Not another man on the staff has
been in condition to go the route and
be depended ON. Lou Richie pulled
out one game at st. Louis but his
other starts have wound up in disas-

was punctured in a million places by
the Reds. Pierce, the young left

six innings. Overall is not right. His

Luckily, the Cubs have encounter

and he beat the Cubs. But Hendrix
Adams and Camnitz of the Pirates,
Benton of the Reds, and SaIlee and
Harmon of st. Louis, all good mound
men, have not rounded to form, and
Evers' crew profted by their weak

of one hand the games in which the
Cubs opponents have failed to make
four runs. In spite of this the West

Water Supply Committee.

'Of vital interest to the District is the
need for increasing its water supply, and,
in view of the time required for complet-
ing such project. provision should be
made for commencing work at an early
date.
THE advisability of increasing the sup
ply may be summed up in the statement
that the maximum daily draft of water
already exceeds the safe amount for the
present pumping and storage capacity,
and il is probable that in less than eight
years the average daily consumption Will
also exceed the present safe amount

Influence of Body. i.

And yet there remains and always will
remain much to be done. and In this work
the Washington Board of Trade finds
the greatest measure of its usefulness.
Its advice is more than less frequently
needed in shaping desired legislation and
It's influence is desired in every measure
beneficial and Weighty. We of the pres
ent day, like the generations that proceed
ed us, are doing our share of this work,
glorying all the while in the virtues OF
our fathers; and We should be urged
forward to extra effort and to greater
achievement by the thought that the
more Washington Is beautified. the more
the people of this great nation are &C
quainted with the charms and loneliness
of their capital city, the more Is patriot
ism stimulated.
The work Of this body never has been
and is not now along selfish lines. and it
should be part of our work to impress
this fact clearly and indelibly upon each
and every Congress, for when all Is
said and done it is to Congress alone
that we must look for legislation that
makes for Improvement Congress has
treated Washington literally i'm the past,
and while at times we did not get all

Washington should have it. our prog
ress and growth have been highly salts

beauty will come more quickly when

aWakens to the fact that he owes to his
people. his state. and his country a frac-
ton of his time and labor for the study
of Washington's needs and that irrespec-
tive of party affiliations or politics he
should feel more or less in duty bound
to contribute his share In seeing that
there are carried out the vast and COM
prehensive improvements SO carefully
planned-improvemen that when COM
pleted and realized will place Washington
on pinnacle of practical and artistic de-
velopment equaled by no other nation on
earth.
Whatever is builded let it be reared
with a thought for the future; those who
come after us are the ones for whose
benefit we should labor most earnestly;
let US continue along conservative lines,
scrutinizing every suggested change and
improvement carefully, and only lend our
approval and support to such part of it
as will cause our descendants to be
thankful to us for our foresight

recommendations of the street and ave

THE WORK
Of SCHOOL CADETS
Practice Marching. Sys.
tematic Battalion Drill and
Other Features Planned.

Plans for extending and making more
school cadet regiment OF the District
were outlined today by Ernest L. Thurs
ton. assistant superintendent in charge
OF white schools.
Practice marching, regular and svste-
matte battalion drill, monthly inspections
of battalions by the regimental officers
and the teaching of setting 10 exercises
with the rifles are the first stems which
the boys will take Each step will be-
made slowly and carefully tested by Mr..
Thurston and Col. Burton r. Ross, COM
mandant of cadets. Such features as
prove valuable will be kept, while the re-
mainder will be discarded.
Reports of Inspections Required.
The results of the monthly inspections
will be reported to the assistant superin
tendent Equipment. appearance and dis
cipline will all be taken into considera-
ton. Each year. in addition to routine.
the cadets will be given work that was
not taken up during the year prior, thus
furnishing new experience for the bows
who were in the organization during for
mer years and are well acquainted with
routine maneuvers. Likewise, in four
years drilling. it is believed the boys will
learn more than they do under the present
system.
These features were discussed at length
at a conference between Mr.. Thurston,
Col. Ross and the regimental officers at a
meeting held in the Office of the assistant
superintendent yesterday afternoon.

More Inspectors Advocated.

Special attention is called to the lack
OF inspectors for properly enforcing a
number of practical. useful and necessary
sanitary laws now on the statute books
and the need of properly equipped labo-
ratories for the use of the health depart
ment is again emphasized. The commit
tee recommends:
That money be appropriated 10 en-

visibility of having evening clinics In the

Park Connection Obtained.

The salient feature of the report of the
special committee on park commission
plans. A. c. Moses. chairman, is that
within less than four months after crea-
ton of the special committee by your
board of directors it had been instru-
mental In securing an authorization of an
expenditure of 81, 300. 600 toward the ac-
QUESTION of lands necessary for the con-
nection of Rock Creek and Potomac
parks.
From the careful attention that has
been given by your various committees
to all matters intrusted to their con-
sideration, the conclusion Ia easily reached
that there exists a broad-minded and
liberal spirit on the part of our present
membership to work seriously In the in
terests of the National Capital.
