How gladly would / change the whole
For one congenial friendly soul!

Eternal fame writ large in stone,

Let poets sing, with rapturohs praise
The joys of love in ardent lays;

The pleasures bought with glistening

To walk with me the journey through,
And, though l miss the flame divine.

WOULD QUICKEN TRAFFIC.
Recommendations of the Electric
Railway Commission.

A rule has been recommended to the
interstate commerce commission by the
District electric railway commission order
ing crowded cars to pass street crossings
and leave passengers to the cars behind.
This step was taken in interest of faster
traffic. A regulation requiring street car
companies to penaliZe motormen who run
by passengers at regular stopping places,
when the cars are not already loaded,
will be coupled to the first rule.
These rules will be among, the new regu-
latiOns soon to be adopted for the opera
ton of stree. cars in the District Mem
bers Of the District electric railway COM
mission believe that both rules will do
much toward improving traffic conditions.
Officials of the Washington Railway and
Electrict Company were granted an In
formal hearing before the electric rail-
way commission last night on proposed
changes in rules and regulations for the
operation and equipment of electric cars
in Washington. Commissioners Smith
and West and Secretary Eddy represented
the commission, Clarence p King, w. F.
Ham and j. T. Mofrett being present as
representatives of the railway company.
c. P. King asked that riding Oh the
running boards Of open street cars be
made a disdemeanor, and that the pas
senger 80 offending be punished instead
of making the car company responsible.
Mr. King said 1t was impossible FOR the
company to enforce such an order as
now exists regarding this condition.

Members of the Petworth Citizens AS

letter from W. C. Ham, vice president OF
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company, that If the interstate COM
merce commission rules that the steps
on certain open cars operated on the
Brightwood line are too high it will mean
that closed cars will be used on that line
next summer. Mr.. Ham stated that the
peculiar construction of the cars makes
II impossible to lower the steps and still
have them safe. An order requiring low
er steps will necessitate new cars, he
said. He suggested that the matter be
discussed by joint committee of the clti-
zens associations whose members use
the Brightwood line.

STATION sTATUESIN PLACE.
Figures of Forty-Six Roman Soldiers
Have Been Installed.

The forty-siX statues of Roman SOL
diers, designed for the stone coping
which runs around the wall Of the main
waiting room. the ticket room and above
the inner doors of the Union station,
were finally set in place yesterday
afternoon. There remains only the
touching up of the figures to complete
the interior decorations Of the building.
The statues bear out the original
plans of the construction of the build
ing, which is of the Roman type. and
are considered to be among the master
pieces of Saint Gaudens, who designed
much of the sculptural work Of the
terminal.
There are six statues over the doors
under the portico. thirty-six in the
main waiting room and four in the
ticket room. Each holds a shield in
front of him, and all are clothed in the
garb of Roman times.
