MORE CARS ARE URGED
FOR CONGRESS heights
Public Improvement Association
Wants Headway Changed From y
Ten to Five Minutes.

Street car service to Congress Heights
was declared inefficient at the meeting OF
the Congress Heights Public Improve
ment Association last night
Five years ago the same schedule OF a
car every ten minutes was in operation,
while In that time the population of Con-
gress Heights has Increased 50 per cent,
IL was said. The association wants
five minutes between cars. All cars from
Congress Heights now go by Center Mar
ket, and TO get to Union Station, a thirty
minute direct run, it. is often necessary
to take forty-fve or fifty minutes, due to
the wait for transferring. Edward Blaine,
A. E. Mckay. and Gustave Bender took
part in the discussion.
The association also decided TO write to
the Secretary OF the Interior about the
closing Of the nurses gate. of St Eliza
beth's by DR.. William A White 1t is
said that the closing diveTts employees
from Congress Heights stores.
Representative Ben johnson will be
asked TO secure improvements on Ala
bama avenue, as well as the improve
ments totaling S3l,30O on Nichols, Port
land. and Livingston avenues, now pro-
rided in the District appropriation bill.

CENTRAL LABOR UNION
FOR THICK-WALL BILL
Organization Favors Martine-Galivan
Measure for Thirteen-Inch
Exterior Partitions.

The Central Labor Union last night
unanimously approved the Martine-Gali-
van bill. requiring thirteen-inch instead
Of nine-inch exterior and party walls on
buildings in the District.
The action was taken at the request
Of the bricklayers' union, which contends
that the man of moderate means who
buys under the present law is defraud-
ed. because, they claim, nine-inch walls
settle few years after they are built,
and the buyers home is ruined. They
claim that a thlrteen-inch wall would
cost only about 500 more for the aver
age building.
Although the Commissioners, in their
report to Congress on the BILL stated
that in their opinion there was no i'm
mediate necessity for such legislation,
the union men hope to be able to change
the opinions of the Commissioners when
they state their reasons for urging the
law.

Clifford Pin head chot

Of all the inimicable asses that
ever came down a public high
way Clifford Pin (head) chot Of eor-
estry fame takes the bakery.
1t will be rem embered that Taft
lifted Pinhead out of Office on
the toe of his old cowhide boots
Pinhead then with Roosevelt be.
came powerful progressive, "
and finally with his idol landed
back at standpat headquarters.
Pinhead's latest is a circular
letter to everybody condemnato-
ry and defamatory of Wilson, in
which he makes the statement
that Wilson told Germany she
would be held to strict accounta-
bility, and then secretly, by his
secretary of state, let her know
that what he said he did not
mean.
To say that Pinchoty is a
skunk of a liar may not be dig
nified, but doubt if any thing
else would meet the case.
Another like instance ola reck-
less statement is that Wilson as
president first flouted and oppos-
ed the progressives, while now
he seeks to conciliate and enlist
them.
The whole letter reeks with
Just such manufactured state
woven out of whole cloth
and shows pinheadchot to be the
monumental Eli Perkins-we'll II
take that back; Eli Perkins never
debased himself by actual lying,
nor stopped to the defamation of
character.
We might put it in this way:
What Eli was for the edi6cation
Of the public, Pinheadchot has
made himself as an actual fact,
Adios, Pinshothead.
