No 18th Street Car Line.

Regarding any additional street
railway facilities in the section de-
signed to be covered by the 18TH
street extension of the Capital Trac-
ton Company, the public utilities
commission has rejected the appli-
cation for permission to build the
new lines. This will cause rejoicing
on the part Of those residents of the
region affected who protested vigor-
ously against the extension. 1t may
not be as gratifying to prospective
users of the new lines, which were
planned to give speedier service

Old Records and New.

Somebody has discovered that for

can merchant marine; that his pres

Suppose the charge true. 1t docs

for reproach. He is one Of a. large
company. Other men OF prominence
and many not prominent have in the
past eleven months changed their
views on that subject, and on other
subjects The war has produced
conditions never before known to us,
and with them suggestions never be-
fore heard from men of political

lied the measure as carrying the
seeds of state socialism.
Our public men, without regard tc
party, are less concerned today with
theories than with conditions. Many
old theories are being knocked into
a cooked hat. Many new condition.
are being faced without thought Of
past records. Consistency is the bug
bear not only of small minds, but Of
normal times. With the whole worlc

Commissioners in reaching their de-
cision were Influenced by the posi-
bility of a jitney service covering
that part of the city. In the ruling,
however, is a suggestion that there
may hereafter arise necessity for
such an extension. The chief need
of Washington just at present in this
connection is the relief of the mid
city congestion of cars in the rush

Not Entirely Unhappy.

When the summer time has started
i'll to simmer,
And the cooling breeze has halted
far away;
When the dawn gives forth super
heated glimmer,
And the sun keeps getting hotter
through the day;
When the mind is filled with dreams
OF a vacation
On mountain heights or by the
ocean foam,
You are sorry for the luckless situa-
OF the fellow who's obliged to stay
at home.
But he doesn't have to hustle in the
morning
To catch a train to bear him from
the town.
He doesn't hear the locomotives
warning,
And quail beneath the ticket
takers frown.
He isn't jostled, fretted and de-
tested, -.. .f...
By the others who are rushing
forth to roam:
There is comfort in the freedom un-
molested
OF the fellow who's obliged to stay
at home.

Check Raiser Caught

The first of the week Pete
Birdsall hired q man for a few
days 10 help him with the farm
work and let him 60 this morn
ing, giving him check for
So 45 in payment for his SER
vices. The young man came
to town and raised the check
to $50 45 and tried to pass it
on the Fanger store but they
became suspicious and turned
it down, notifying the bank of
their action. He then tried
the Valley Savings bank but
they would not cash it. Final
ly they got in communication
with Mr.. Birdsall who told
them the check was for So as
only and to catch the fellow.
About noon he appeared at the
Bradley store and bought
suit of clothes giving the
check in payment and taking
about $40 90 in change. While
the suit was being altered Mr..
Bradley heard of the deal and
when the young man returned
he grabbed him and took him
to Jail. He gives the name of
Clarence Harris and claims this
is the first time he has ever
done anything like this before
in his life and will probably be
some time before he will be
able to try it again.

Not disheartened he later obtained

Despite the handicap, H - made

name.

in response to the surprised look on

RETURN TO NORMAL HEARING
Correspondent Of New York Newspa
per Tells Of Good Results Of
Rubbing the Scalp.

For some years I had been under
the impression that washing the
scalp or using tonics for the hair was
bad, for the reason that 1t was
thought to have tendency to in
crease deafness, and when I read
your correspondent letter on the
treatment of deafness by means ct
manipulation Of the scalp and the US!
of tonics in connection Herewith |
was at first rather doubtful about tn.
efficiency of the treatment But f1na;'
ly tried the plan, and am glad to say
that it Brought surprising results
writes a correspondent Of the New
York Sun. .'n'."a
But what cannot understand il,
why a wet scalp and rubbing should
restore normal hearing. l cannot &C
count for it. After trying the scheme
1 discontinued the rubbing and US:
of the tonic, with the result that the
hardness Of hearing returned; and
with the resumption Of the treatmell
was again relieved For many year:
I could not hear ordinary conversation
with my left ear, but with the use Ct
the above treatment the hearing IL
that ear became normal.
It would be highly interesting t.
learn what explanation ear special
lists have to give for this phenomenon
and whether it can be utilized in thu
treatment of all cases of deafness, Of
whether it is only good for some spe
cial or particular cases. The habitua
use of coffee does not appear to b
harmful in my own case.

Proper Care OF the Eyes.

It is undoubtedly true that we do
not take sufficient care of our eyes.
The eye is too delicate an organ, how
ever, to be subjected to haphazard
treatment. A sudden change from
very bright light to darkness should be
avoided, and If the eyes are weak the
prevailing color in the room in which
pne spends most of the time should be
some tint that is helpful to the eye.
