DRY FEET FOR "COPPERS"
Neat Little Platforms Added
to Umbrellas for Comfort
at Crossings.

Neat and ornamental little wooden plat
forms for protection against water and
heat have been added to the equipment
OF crossing policemen at important down.
town traffic points who were fitted out
some weeks ago with graceful umbrellas
to ward off the sun
Back in the old days traffic policemen
used TO stand for hours on hot days
with blazing sun heating them from
above and blistering concrete making
them boil from below. In rain and snow
they needed heavy rubber coats and
boots. and even then were al the meEcy
of the elements.
Not SO any more. Owing 10 the kind
thoughtfulness of Maj. Sylvester these
traffic kings are now more comfortabi
than any people who pass. Perched
gracefully on their little platforms, with
their umbrellas above, they can smile
and even smoker at elements OF all
kinds and descriptions
The new little platforms stand about
three inches from the pavement, and are
about, three feet square. They do not
allow much promanading. but In space are
ample enough for little shifting OF
policemanly feet. They are so construct
ed that rivulets of water may stream
underneath without even spelling the
brilliant shoe shines which Maj. Sylvester
insists on.

BOSTON, August 14.-Gov. Eugene n.
Foss, who was one of the candidates for
the democratic presidential nomination
last year. has made public a brief state
ment which is generally interpreted by

Of the request of the Baltimore and Ocean

which has acquired the property of the

pany to issue stocks and bonds to the
amount of Sl19,3OO for the purpose of
paying for the road
The District of Columbia Supreme
Court yesterday ratified the sale of the
railway line to the Baltimore and Ocean
City concern, following the refusal of the
public utilities commission TO approve the
bond issue application on the ground that
the COMPANY was foreign corpora ton
and owned no property in the District
over which the commissions Jurisdiction
extended
Now that the sale has been ratified the
application to the commission will be re-
newed. Consideration of the merits of the
plan and of the protest filed by the prop
crty owners along the line of the railway
probably will be considered by the com
