BUY EVERYTHING AT
Big GERMAN BAZAAR
Societies Highly Grahhed Over Sue
cess of Events Which Approx
mately 10000 Persons Attend.

With a scramble by more than 300
persons through the afternoon and night
to clean by purchase every article that
remained In the booths, the bazaar which
has been In progress at Odd Fellows Hall
during the past week for the benefit OF
the war widows and orphans OF Ger
many, Bulgaria. Austria-Hungary and
Turkey, was brought to a close last
night
Officials Of the German societies OF
washington, under whose auspices the
bazaar was held, expressed qualification
at its success and estimate that fully
5000 persons purchased tickets. Until
an audit has been made of the money
taken in at the various booths and on
the door, It will not be possible to esti-
rnats the financial success, but 1t is
thought that the sum will exceed all
expectations.
Prices for articles that ordinarily cost
only a few cents ran riot last night,
when they were auctioned to the highest
bidders, and dollars instead Of cents were
paid to help swell the fund.
At II o'clock only few Of the booths
contained a single article and before
the doors were closed. shortly before
midnight, even they had gone into the
hands Of some friend Of the nations
fighting with Germany. The big Iron
Cross was filled to overlooking with
nails both black and silver, purchased
by the visitors at ten and twenty-five
cents each.

particular way.
NJ. Lesley Bush Brown and Catherine

with great ability.

The organizers OF the club point with
hope to the splendid boulevard which has
just been completed between Mount Yer

minute ride by motor from the heart of
the city to the site Of the proposed club

of the club YESTERDAY reads:

golf and the other conventional uses OF
country clubs. With the Mount Vernon
Country Club and a suburban residence
park in its immediate vicinity as objec-
tives. the growing tendency toward pri-
vate ownership OF yachts and motor boats
will be greatly advanced.
THE erection at Mount Vernon of a
handsome club house will tend inevitably
to the establishment there of attractive
villas and suburban homes. The salts
faction that club members will derive
from aiding in the restoration and re-
Mobilization of the historic estate OF
George Washington will be comforting
and enduring"
The site of the club gives an unob-
structed view TO the Potomac and is ad-
mirably adapted by natural contour for
the golf course which will be laid of
around It, Much attention also will be
given to dock facilities, so that the Poto-
mac may draw in summer the hundreds
of merican yachtsmen.

Clarence P. King. president of the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany, told the Federation Of Citizens As
socIations, at a meeting in the rooms
Of the Chamber Of Commerce last night,
that the future development OF Wash
ington depends upon a consolidation OF
all its street railways.

pany," said Mr.. King. land l believe
Col Harding Cformer District Engineer
Commissioner, had reached some solu-
ton Of this question, but changes occur
in the commission"
Conference Before Complaints.
Mr.. King. with Let's get together and
talk II over as his text, took up one by
one each OF the street railway problems
OF Washington. When he had finished
the federation voted to instruct its pub
lie utilities committee to confer with the
companies about street railway matters
before passing resolutions OF complaint
Referring to the creation OF the pub
lie Utilities Commission three years ago
and the plans it has been making for
the regulation Of public utilities in the
District, Mr.. King said:
Il don't believe there is a city in the
country that needed regulation less than
washIngton. Regulation Is nothing new
with US. Why. we have always been regu-
lated by Congress. Interstate Commerce
Commission. Maryland and the District
Commissioners. What has the commits
sion done In three years? II you're not
familiar with what has been happening.
Invite them here and let them tell you.

extensions during the past three or four

Washington has grown. why hasn't its
street railways?"
Mr.. King said it is the private-owned
automobile. not +he jitney. that has COM
peted successfully with the street car and
hampered the extension of the latter.
Autos Absorb Populations Gain.
The increase in population has been
absorbed by the privately owned auto
mobile" said Mr. King. when that
competition is going to end no one can
say. But when the change comes and
Washington begins to go forward, where
is the money to come from in the extern
sions without a comprehensive plan for
one railway"
Referring to the Great Falls power
project. Mr.. King warned the engineers
who have investigated the plan not to
overlook the practical and business view
points.
Every once in a while" Mr. King con-
tinued, Congress calls for a report on
the feasibility OF the project. But they
only take it up, gentlemen, from an en-
cheering stand point. OF course, a water
plant can be built on the Potomac but
you must consider the commercial side.
We control the falls. and we have
decided on the most feasible plan up to
the present time for the development OF
the falls"
Mr.. King argued against firestops,
which he said caused 5000 stops a day
at an estimated loss of 200 minutes for
imaginary fires" This, together with
the cost OF maintaining crossing police
men at approximately $500 a year, are
two drawbacks to street railway eff
cheney in Washington which no other
city in the country must contend with,

Writer Throws Some New Light on
the Eventual Fate of
Bicycles.

Perhaps you have wondered what
has become of all the old bicycles. Not
Sc long ago everybody had one-fa-
Their, mother, children and aunts from
the country. And then, in the night,
motor cars got cheaper and all the
bicycles disappeared. Like the Palm
Beach suits they are all here in Flor
ida. There are bicycles everywhere,
on the fiat, hard beautiful roads, on
the curbstones. leaning against the
piazzas, in the streets If the mo-
tor car has swept them from the north
ern streets, 1t has not done that here
Men, women and children on bicycles
whirl about the streets, tingling their
little bells and the motor-car drivers
look out for them. Just beyond the
veranda at Palm Beach were hundreds
OF bicycles waiting TO be hired. Out
on the shaded roads were other hun
dreds bearing their gayly attired bur-
dens.
In the lobby, where I was making my
way to the desk, were dozens of wom-
en- dressed for wheeling.-Margare

DRY of sunshiny day when his heart
was young, and the cretonnes at the
windows, once brave and gay in their
coloring, were blurred and dimmed,
like memories of the short, bright
hours of youth, flaming out, one after
another, almost, painfully distinct
which the hand Of time has woven into
one indefinite pattern, with all the pas
sionate JOY the sharp regret washed
out. The restless feet of youth had
stamped out the designs in the carpet,
and had worn a path straight through
the heart of the big, peaceful room
to the open front door and the wide,
pulsing world without. Like the in
carnate spirit of the room, the little
hostess sat in the stiff, high-backed
chair of her great-grandfather, fiutter-

fragile china that had been the we'd
