STREET CAR STANDARD
IS SUBJECT OF STUDY
Many Patrons Fear Its Adoption
Would Result in Retarding
Service.

Washingtonians who are dependent
upon the street car lines for transpor-
tation service, and particularly those
WHO live in the suburban sections, are
nanifesting considerable interest in the
standard of street car service proposed
by the utilities commission.
Will adoption of the standard which
seeks to limit the number of persons
that may be carried during rush and
nou-rush hour periods mean longer
waits for cars? Is the question that
suburbanites particularly are seeking
an answer to.
Hearing Next Wednesday.
The commission has set September 6
as the date for a hearing on the pro-
posed standard, and indications are that
a large number of citizens will be on
hand to ascertain whether it's adoption
would lead to improvement in the car
service now furnished. or otherwise
The standard proposes for non-rush
traffic an average of 100 seats per SO
passengers carried during a period of one
hour and for rush traffic on the average
seven square feet of available standing
floor area per passenger carried above
the number for which seats are furnished
during a period of one-haf hour.
Criticism of the plan has developed on
the ground that the standard is more
theoretical than practical; that no means
are provided for enforcing it or keeping
impatient passengers from crowding INTO
cars above the limit allowed. and that the
standard would tie the hands of the rail-
way officials in meeting practical trans
portation problems that develop from time
10 time.

PATRIOTISM


In the March issue of the Outlook
Lyman Abbott, editor has given to his
readers an excellent editorial on
patriotism. In fact the sentiment is
so good that we believe every reader
OF the Banner should read it. Here
is what Mr.. Abbott says:
"a nation is made great, not by its
fruitful acres, but by the men who
cultivate them; not by its great for
ests, but by the men who use them;
not by its mines, but by the men who
work in them; not by its railways, but
by the men who build and run them.
America was great land when Col
umbus discovered it; Americans have
made it a great Nation.
I'm 1776 our fathers had a vision
of new Nation conceived in liberty
and dedicated to the proposition that
all men are created equal Without
an army they fought the greatest of
existing world empires that they
might realize this vision. A third of
a century later, without navy they
fought the greatest navy, in the world
that they might win for their Nation
the freedom of the seas. Half of a
century later they fought through an
unparalleled Civil War that they
might establish for all time on this
continent the alienable right Of life,
liberty, and pursuit of happiness. A
third Of a century later they fought
to emancipate an oppressed neighbor,
and, victory won, gave back Cuba to
the Cubans, sent an rmy of school
masters to educate for liberty the
Filipinos, asked no war indemnity
from their vanquished enemy, but
paid him literally for his property.
Meanv lille they offered land freely to
any farmer who would live upon and
tivate it, opened to foreign inn
rrartl or equal terms the door of
rial opportunity, shared with
political equality, and provided
ivera saXation for universal
,aucaton
-The cynic who can see in this his
try Only E theme for his egotistical
8ire IS no true American, whatever
hi Darentage. whatever his birth
place He who looks with pride upon
This history which his fathers have
written by their heroic deeds, who ac-
cepts with gratitude the inheritance
hich they have bequeathed to him,
and who highly resolves to preserve
this inheritance unimpaired and to
pass il on TO his descendants enlarged
and enriched, is a true American, be
his birthplace or his parentage what
it may"

HAVE DARK HAIR
AND LOOK YOUNG
Don't stay gray! Nobody can tell when
you darken gray, faded hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and attractive
with brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this
simple mixture was applied with won
derful effect. By asking at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" you will get large bot
tie of this old-time recipe, improved
by the addition of other ingredients,
all ready to use, for about so cents.
This simple mixture can be depended
upon to restore natural color and
beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses 'Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound now because
it darkens so naturally and evenly
that nobody can tell it has been ap-
plied-it's SO easy to use, too. You
simply dampen comb or soft brush
and draw it through your hair, taking
one strand at time. By morning the
gray hair disappears; after another
application or two, it is restored to
its natural color and looks glossy,
soft and beautiful. This preparation
is delightful toilet requisite. 1t is
not intended for the cure, mitigation
or prevention of disease.-Adv.

CHANGED INTO
BARKENTINE

The old steamer City Of Sydney,
well known here and which was con
signed to the graveyard of the Pa,
cifie in the Oakland estuary six years
ago, has been rejuvenated and will
begin loading a cargo OF 2,500,000 feet
of lumber this week for Melbourne,
Australia. From a steamer she has
been converted into six-mast bark
entine.
The phantom hand of fate has
reached out and plucked the City OF
Sydney from a miserable fate on the
mud flats, where she mas lain, cover.
ed with barnacles. The former Pa
cific Mail liner was thought to have
outliyed her usefulness long ago and
was sold to a salvage fin as junk for
$4,000. The old steamer was stripped
of her fittings and the machinery was
removed. Capt. l.. A. Peterson oil
San Francisco bought the old hull
from the junk dealers in January for
$4,000 and has spent 100000 in re
facilitating 1t.
The City Of Sydney has had TO
mantle career. She was built in New
York In 1875 and at that time was
considered an ocean greyhound. When
tile war broke out In the Philippines
troops were carried from San Fran
cisco to the islands on the Sydney,
After the war the steamer was used
in the trade between San Francisco
and the Orient via Honolulu, and
then transferred to the Panama run.
