SAFETY FIRST PEOPLE
PROTEST TRAILER CARS
File Remonstrance With Public
Utilities Commission Citing
Public Danger.

Protest against the use of 'trailers"
without separate conductors on Wash
ington's street railway lines was filed
with the public utilities commission to-
day by the Washington Safety First
Association, through its secretary, J.
Clinton Hiatt.
Early this month the commission con-
sented to the restoration of the trail
er" for experimental purposes. The
companies have until July / to show
for them to be permitted to permanent
ly operate this type of car without
separate conductors.
In its resolution of protest, which
was adopted unanimously, the Safety
First Association says:
I'VE believe that If these trailers are
run. whether with or without conduc-
tors. there will result an increased loss
OF life and injury to innocent lives.
Quote Companies Claims.
I'VE are supported In this opinion by
the following. found on page 124 Of
Safety, by w. H. Tolman. published
by Harper's: The Capital Traction
Company. Washington, D. c.. runs a
pay-within type of car for the sake of
| reducing hCCiucHlS LO tno minimum,
Damage costs expressed in figures are
l for pay-within. 4.03 for pay as you
enter, 148 for non-prepayment'
I'VE are not in a position to Judge
of the need to the community for run
ming these 'trailers,' but as experience
has shown the danger OF these cars we
urge that no effort be spared to mini
mize the loss Of lives and limbs of our
citizens.
"As other cities are urging the pay
within safety first car we are opposed
to Washington going back to the type
which the street car companies report
as being fourteen times more dangerous
even with conductors; but as we do
not know the exigencies Of the case
our protest is against the use of the
'trailers' without conductors"
Protest 18th Street Line.
Protests against the proposed exten-
sion of the lines Of the Capital Traction
Company along 18th street continue to
reach the commission. The latest is a
petition signed by forty-five residents
and property owners of 18th, 18th and I
streets and Massachusetts, avenue.
Practically all the complaints are ba sed
on the claim that the extension would
result in a depreciation of property
values. The companys request for per-
mission to build the line will be con-
sidered by the commission at a public
hearing to be held April 20 at 10 am.
in the boardroom of the municipal
building.

Our First Silk Factory.

Ohio was the first state In the Union
to engage In the manufacture of silk,
according to DIR. William G. Mills OF
Ohio State university.
"The first silk factory was erected
at Point Pleasant in 1871 by John w.
GIL and Thomas White" said DIR.
Mills. These men planted twenty
five acres In mulberry trees and began
the raising of silkworms the following
year. Dress silks, ribbons. silk yelvets
and figured silks We're manufactured.
The buckeye burr in light bun was the
first pattern woven. A vast pattern
from this piece was presented to Hen.

The Man-of-war Bird.

The frigate pelican, or man-of-war
bird, is usually met with by travellers
in the tropics. Although when stripped
Of its feathers it is hardly larger than
q pigeon, yet no man can touch at the
same time the tips of its extended
wings. The long wing bones are ex-
ceedingly light, and the whole appa-
ratus of air cells is extremely devel-
oped, so that its real weight is very
trifiing. 1t flies at great height above
the water and from that elevation
pounces down on fish, especially pre-
ferring the poor, prosecuted flying fish
for its prey. According to some au-
thors, the name of man-of-war bird
was given to 1t because its appearance
was said to foretell the coming of a
ship, probably because the frigate peli-
can and real frigates are equally ad-
verse to storms, and both like to come
into harbor II the weather threatens.

The northwestern continuation n
Arizona Of the great mining region Of
Mexico, celebrated for centuries for its
eabulously rich ores Of silver and other
metals, is the oldest mining district IN
the United States. The district has
an area Of 1 400 square miles, situat-
cd on the border OF Mexico, in the mid
die Of that portion Of Arizona known
as the Gadsden Purchase. Authentic
records show that silver mining was
carried on here by the Papago Indians
before the Spanish conquest Of Mexico
in the sixteenth century. Later the
lodes were worked from time to time
and their ores smelted under the direc-
ton OF the Jesuit fathers and the Span
fish government, and remnants Of their
old mine workings, to which the charm
Of romance clings, point the way to
possible wealth not yet exhausted.
From 1853, the date OF the Gadsden
Purchase, to the present time mining
has been carried on by Americans
not. however, without Interruptions,
especially during the earlier part OF
this period, in which raids by the
bloodthirsty Apaches or Mexican out
laws figured observation-disclosures.

France had numerous national flags
before it adopted the tricolor. Although
its present banner is not particularly
artistic, its predecessors ranked among
the most beautiful flags In the world.
The first French flag was extremely
quaint 1t consisted Of a blue hood
hung on a cross bar and represented
the cloak Of St. Martin, a saint great
ly reverenced by the French, and years
ago his helmet was carried In their
wars to inspire the soldiers. The sec
ond French flag was beautiful banner
Of red, with its loose end cut into three
tongues resembling flames, between
each Of which was green tasseL
Some picturesque banners were at one
time carried by the French warriors
before the tricolor waved over the
French battlehelds. There was the sky
blue cavalry standard with the golden
sun Of Louis XIV, the white and gold
banner OF Joan Of Arc, magniflcenuy
embroidered with the Madonna, angels
and lilies, and the famous old banner
Of the city Of Paris, with its white
