Only Few Miss Mount Vernon.

Nowadays few persons visit Washing

father Of his country. George Wash

Of person making this trip is gauge
on the number of visitors at any par
ticular season in the capital
c. l. Evans, traffic agent OF the Wash
fngton-Nirginia Railway Company,
handling most of the tourists going TO
Mount Vernon, says that there has been
easily twice as many making this trip
this summer. July is usually a poor
month for sightseeing here, but Mr..
Evans says this year the traffic has
been very heavy. and about all that
the railway could care for.
There has been a big call for spe-
We have had an average OF six such
special parties a week. The daily aver
age has been more than 300 persons
and some days we have carried three
or four times that number. The con-
ventions here, in Baltimore and in
other places north and east have help
ed a great deal. Persons attending
those conventions have taken advan-
tage of stop-over privileges here
We have had very large travel this
season from the south and southwest
Texas. Kentucky. Alabama, Georgia
etc. This has been shown by the spe-
cial parties from those sections. Many
OF these have stopped off in the capt.
tai for several days when returning

Summer Visitors Reach WASH
ington in Constantly In
creasing Numbers.
ALL DESIRE TO SPEND
MORE TIME IN CITY
Sights Here Are Proving an Attrac-
ton for the Entire
Country.

From all points of the compass, and
even from war-torn Europe. summer
visitors have been coming to Wash
ington in constantly increasing num-
bees. This is the testimony of those
who come into contact with most of
the National Capitals visitors. and
they further testify that hundreds OF
persons taking advantage OF stop
over privileges in Washington while
returning from their vacation at other
places express regret that they did
not spend all their time here instead
of a day or two. Almost invariably
these visitors express a determination
to come again next year.
The National Botanic Garden is
wonder-place of hearsay to residents
of every community throughout the
country This summer it has become
a living reality as a museum of plant
life for thousands upon thousands of
tourists coming from practically every
state in the Union.

Mecca for Tourists.

George W. Hess, superintendent of
the garden. has been host this sum-
mer to countless groups of tourists
In one Sunday more than 100 visitors
have been counted as they entered the
conservatories. and many weekdays
the number has been over GOO. I'VE
have had large throngs of visitors every
day during the summer said Mr.. Hess.
Throughout July there has been a sur
prisingly large number viewing the
garden and admiring the famous
Bartholdi fountain. They come from
all over the country. We know this
because they talk with US about the
plant life OF their home climate, and
express surprise at the variation in
season here from what it is there for
blooms. 1t has been gratifying to find
such a widespread interest in the
garden. as well as to learn that in
far-distant states they have heard of
the plan to have great national
arboretum in Rock Creek Park. Only
last week We had some guests here
from Holland. They were men who
had been engaged in raising bulbs for
the market and their business has been

Expects Pension Provision.

According to William Mex. Clayton,
one of the members of the federation
committee which is to make an appeal
for the crossing policemen. there is
every prospect that the District bill.
when finally passed. will provide ade-
quately for the retiring and pensioning
of firemen and policemen. Mr.. Clayton
believes that sentiment in the House
for police and fremen's pensions is as
pronounced as it was in the Senate.
Mr.. Clayton pointed out that firemen
in Baltimore are cared for in the mat
ter of pensions much more satisfacto-
rily than are those of Washington. In
Baltimore the pensions are provided an
nually by appropriation. After twenty
years of consecutive service or physi-
cal or mental disability incurred in the
line of duty the Baltimore fireman can
retire at half pay. and upon his death
his widow or children receive this
amount. In Washington the half-pay
retirement plan not only does not OBJ
tain, but the municipality has been un-
able to meet in full the irregular pen
sion amounts allowed, with the result
that the deficit since 1911 amounts to
more than $4,000 for the fire depart
ment and $4,000 for the police depart
ment.

Big Conventions Coming.

August and September are going to
be big months. Several big conven-
tions are coming here, such as the
Catholic Total Abstinence and the
Changers, and the printers convention
in Baltimore means that practically
every delegate will spend some time in
Washington. They are to be enter
tsined here for entire day by the
local craftsmen. This has been rec
ord-breakins season, and We are, of
course. glad"
similar testimony was given yester-
day By others in Washington who come
into immediate touch with the tourists
the guides at the Capitol and the
Treasury Department In both these
places the guides told a reporter for
The star that they have shown about
more persons this season than ever
before during the summer. They say
that July has seen about three times
as many strangers in the city than
during previous years. and that where
heretofore tourists have been more
from the east this season they are
coming in large numbers from the
south and west. In fact, they say, the
sights Of the capital city have become
q center OF attraction for the people OF
the entire country.
