Suggests New Routes To Relieve
Street Car Congestion.


To the Editor OF THE TINES:
There is much in the public press and
In The Times about street car conges-
ton. but the whole trouble is, and will
be until remedied by extension of new
tracks, that there are TOO many cars
on + and q streets at present.
What j propose is to take cars off
or and q streets as follows:
Let the LeDroit Park cars go on Fifth
to u and out T. to connect with existing
tracks there at Ninth. This will take
this line off OF G street and at Four
teenth relieve the congestion there
Maryland and District line cars to cut
across Fifth TO f and go Via City Hail
to Union Station loop end back 70
North Capitol by Postoffice. This will
take another line off G. street and re-
lieve conditions at Fifteenth and q
northwest. Tenleytown and every 9TH
er Mt. Pleasant car to 20 up G. to
Fourteenth and turn by new curve to
existing tracks on Fourteenth and q
northwest. This will relieve street n
little. There win be no relief for Ninth
street until there is a subway from
Pennsylvania avenue to X street, and
the sooner IL is built the better. Eut
above all we want municipal ownership,
as in Crosser bill Then there will be
one company and one standard for cars,
beds. etc. All good citizens should
work for the passage Of this bill as free
transfers will then be a reality.

Wisconsin's History.

Wisconsin has from time to time been an annex of various other states. Wisconsin from 1895 to 1909 formed a part of Indiana territory. From 1909 to ISIS Wisconsin was embraced in the territory of Illinois. When Illinois became a state all the country north of 1t, including Wisconsin, was joined to Michigan. After more than forty years of shifting Wisconsin was admit ted into the Union with her present boundaries in 1848.

 Fountains in France

Who is responsible for the dry foun. tain? asks the London Chronicle. A correspondent cites a case from Groombridge, in Sussex. Just before you enter that picturesque town you see fountain, with a seat, horse trough and even a dogs drinking place. Alas! never once, on several visits, could I get a draft of water from it, though the drinking cup re- mained to testify to it's one-time beneficence to thirsty wayfarers
 They do these things so much better in France. You will find few French villages without public fountain, a fountain, moreover, that is often a work of art. What English villages do you recall where a free draft of water is available? Should you desire such, you must summon up enough courage to ask at a cottage door, to be confounded, probably. with that nui- sance of rural life, the tramp. Exter- nally, we English take water liberally enough; internally, we seem agreed to boycott it.

Activities of Women.

Greek women, generally speaking have no individuality.
 Only one woman finds employment in Ireland as against 12 men.
 Mrs. Harold Almert of Chicago, na- tional woman champion trapshooter, is the mother of two children.
 Chinese women have started an ag- gressive campaign for the restoration Of a monarchy in that country.
 Since the no-treating law went into effect in London the drinking among women has greatly decreased.
 There has been an increase of 20. per cent in the employment of women in London banks since the war began.
 Miss Laura Taylor owns an 80-acre' farm in Cleveland county, Oklahoma. where she specializes in hogs and beeves. While she does not do the ac- tual labor on the farm, she is head of the project in every sense of the word, planning, directing and overseeing the work.

On the Field of Honor.

In a field in the Department of the A1sne, where the English were beaten in September, 1914, some of our terri torials discovered two isolated mounds covered over with grass and surmount- ed by wooden crosses, one of which bore the word "Tin" and the other the word Rubbish" Greatly affected, our territorials gathered flowers, of which they made bouquets, which they pious- ly placed upon the mounds. Then, with trembling hand, they wrote up- on the crosses this inscription: Dead on the Field of Honor!" There the in- scriptions remained until one day. when an officer, who understood Eng fish, had the sod broken open and dis covered in one of the mounds, many empty cans, and in the other a lot or worn-out clothing.-Le Cri de Paris

PATROL DRIVES SAILORS MAD
Letter From British Tar in the At. Iantic Blockade Makes Pathetic
 Reading.

The peril, hardship, cold and lonen- ness that has driven mad some of the tars who man the British blockade fleet outside the three-mile limit ofg. our Atlantic coast, has been written of by an Englishman riding The Tides of Barnegat" aboard the Sydney, to an old mate in this city. This is inc same Sydney that ran the notorious German raider Emden ashore on an Indian ocean island and shot her to bits. The Sydney recently has been transferred to the Atlantic blockade fleet. The letter says in part:
 Dear Jerry: It looks as though we were to spend another Christmas on the briny deep It has been ter. ribly cold out here and we have had hard time of it. The other night we ran short of coal and had to shoot down to Bermuda.
 Jerry, of all the places God ever made, Barnegat, or whatever they call 1t, is the worst If it ain't blowinp it's showing or raining, and there is a continual swell running that keeps your insides snug against your main companionway for days at stretch.
 Give me the life of the North sea chasing perrys (submarine peri. scopes). You could get a bit of a thrill doing that-and it was worth .while getting hit. Out here you might as well be on training ship. The men are mostly sickly and you can't exactly call them happy They have nothing to think of except the arrival of the cutter with papers and letters. Lord save us from another job like this.
 T heard some of the boys in the Caronia (former Cunard liner. now converted cruiser) went crazy, and don't blame them a bit. A lot of us will be going the same way before long. We are looking for the cutter today and expect to get supply of fresh greens. But she'll smash her self to pieces against our side, sup pose, and lose everything. That's what happened last time. The bloody pilot must have been a tram conduc- tor in Putney.
 We lost man over the side who was reaching for sack of lettuce or something. Godi He shot down be- tween us and the rotten little tug SO quick that there was no chance to save him. He was young fellow, too, and had mother living in Putnam Palace road, Hammersmith"

Natures Horde of Solid Silver.

Recent development at some of the mines of the Cobalt district of On- tario, Canada, has resulted in the pro- duction of more of tn. wonderfully rich silver ores for which the camp was famous during the days of it's first working. At. the Temiskaming mine there has been found some rock which makes special record for high value
 A certain six-hundred-pound slab as- saved about ten thousand ounces of silver per ton, being therefore about one-third pure silver. There is no gold in the ore, that being one of the gen. eral peculiarities of the ores of the Cobalt district-Popular Science Monthly.

Woman Letter Carriers in saxonx

Since the war broke out almost two thirds of the Saxon postal employees have been called to the colors Late ly the mail service became so crip- pied that the authorities found them selves compelled to suspend the civil service laws and to follow the exam pie of Prussia and other states by em- ploying women as mail carriers. Leipzig and Dresden already have lone hundred female "postmen' Most of them gre widows or daughters of post office employees who were killed in the different theaters of war. Three of the women act as drivers of large auto mailtrucks.

BETTY SAW THE LIGHT
YOUNG WIPES GREATEST FAULT GENTLY CORRECTED.
Dearest Friend and Wise Husband, in Collaboration, Effected Cure of Habit That Is Trying to the
 Punctual Person.

Up in Betty's lovely rose-colored room Betty was pouring out the story of her happiness-telling it, Betty fashion, in little rainbow-colored frag- ments, to Katherine Arnold. Rather Inc had been her dearest friend from college days, when the steady, splen- didly-poised junior had taken the low able harum-scarum little freshman under her wing She had kept up the "protectorate' through her senior year, and through the three years since. Her own marriage had not changed the friendship, nor had Bet tvs.
 "You see,' Betty said, half-whimsi- cally, half in earnest, T have to have you to steer me by the pitfalls-even though I know of course there couldn't possibly be any pitfall between Jack and me-"
 Betty" Katherine asked suddenly, |''how about your tardiness? Doesn't that worry Jack?"
 Betty blushed-an infinitely becom- ing process that was quite enough to divert the spectator from serious and, As Betty would say, "scolding" inten- itions.
 If you have to know" she acknowl- edged, Jack did say things two or three times. It was so almost unfair of him-I mean, it would have been unfair if it hadn't been that Jack Ecouldn't possibly be unfair-when it was just because I was trying to make myself pretty for him! We missed the opera once-lost the train by three Iminutes-but I told Jack I'd rather have an evening with him than the Igrandest opera that ever was, and we did have the dearest time. But lately, Katherine, really think Jack must be reforming me, because we haven't been late for ever so long, and we were actually ten minutes early at that Sons of Somebody banquet the other night! Think of time early! I told Jack he'd better be careful, or he'd reform me to the other extreme" ]" What time did he say the banquet was to be, Betty?" Katherine asked slowly
 "Seven-thirty. The cab was to come at six forty-five. Although I think it must have been later than that Betty added, puzzled.
 Do you remember what time you were to be ready for the Hamilton reception?"
 Mine o'clock, think. What in the world are you driving at, Kathie? We were in plenty of time"
 Do you know why, Betty? Don't you see? Jack is telling you to be ready half an hour early each time It is the only way he can be sure of not missing trains and being late for parties"
 Betty's eyes widened incredulously; then flood of shamed color swept across her face. It was very different from her usual rose-leaf bushes. It scorched.
 Katherine Arnoldi AS if I were a baby, and couldn't be trusted!"
 'But could you, dear?" Katherine asked gently.
 Betty's pretty lips closed firmly and her small head lifted. Well see!" she cried
 At that Katherine smiled. That was what she wanted.-Youth's Compan- ion.
