Plans Campaign for New
Members.

Several changes in the constitution Of
the organization were discussed at a
meeting Of the Connecticut Avenue Ciu-
Zens Association last evening, but aside
from changing the meeting night. nothing
definite was done in the way of altering
the existing rules. For a time. at least
the association will meet on the second
Wednesday night of each month.
On motion Of David L. Selke il was de-
clded to make a personal canvass of the
residents of the associations territory
for the purpose of increa sing the member
ship of the organization and increasing
the interest in it's work. The association
further decided to refrain from affiliating
with the Federation of Citizens Associa-
lions for the present. to permit the men,
bers to learn exactly the aims and pur-
poses of the federation.
Express Service Desired.
1t was decided to keep up the fight for
express service on the Chevy Chase line
of the Capital Traction Company. and to
endeavor to induce the company to put
on express cars at certain hours in the
morning and evening. 1t was explained
that the demand for express cars is not
based on a desire for speed. but to give
residents of the territory a chance to &C.

hang to straps all the way from 18th

governor did not turn up Second

all three were silent. Not word

were drowned In thought. 1t matters
not of what the assistant state treas
urer was thinking. He held only an
appointive Office. He was political
villain, and had collar on his neck.
The attorney general was thinking Of

governor was thinking of the days that
were gone. Silent, thoughtful, thus
they kept on up Capitol avenue. When

were fatally prostrated by the heat.
