HUMOR ON STREET CARS
Tcday's Best Story Is Told of the
Georgia Avenue
Line.

A philosopher can find adventure and
humor on some Washington street car
lines. Others seem only to acquire a
crouch
Today's best story is told of the
Georgia avenue line.
At the pit, where underground slots
give way to overhead trolley wires, the
conductor gave 'tYo BELLS but the
motorman threw on the supposed cur
rent in vain.
Power must'a give out" the con-
ductor muttered.
Say, mister. if you'd put up the troll
ed a colored passenger.
The conductor was open to sugges-
tions. He did and the trip continued. .
A little way further passengers
pressed buttons in vain. The car went
blithely by corners.
only stop every five stops, missus,"
said the conductor to a protesting pa
tron.
Showing there is nothing behind the
times about the conductors. They take
suggestions even before they are Of
ficially ordered TO do so.
What is the nearest stop you make
to Allison street, them asked another
passenger.
Deed. ma am. I'm a stranger in this
town; how should / know? replied
the bell cord manipulation.
Better get off here while you've got
the chance he further advised.
And the passengers scrambled to do
so.
NO tellin' when they will stop again."
puned a stout lady. as she trudged
farther on toward her regular place of
debarkation.

This is the appeal of the war work
council, Y. NJ. c. A. for the Washing

request many records were received.
But the, demand for them is constantly
increasing as the Y. NJ. c. A. extends
its work. and the numbers of men in
the camps grow, that request is made
for more of them.
The records either may be sent to

THAW TO HELP EGG RECEIPTS.
Many From Down-River Points
Await River Navigation.

The opening of the river to naviga-
tion will aid materially. 1t is stated, in
increasing the supply of eggs on the
market here and in fastening the low
ering of prices which have started to
lower. As soon as tho steamers that
ply between this city and the creeks
tributary to the Potomac can resume
trips they are expected to bring guam
titles OF eggs to this market.
1t is nothing uncommon for the
steamers to land hundred or moro
cases OF eggs each trip. and. while some
of the country. eggs have been sent by
automobile. to Fredericksburg. in the
past few weeks many dozen have ac-
cumulated and the shippers are Taiting
an opportunity to send them to the

The Third Loan

Now once again you'll have
chance to buy yourself bond,
and help the allies out in France,
in Belgium and beyond. In Feb
ruary Uncle Sam will start an
other loan. and are you ready, as
| am. to put up plunk and bone:
It's little we old gents can do to
help our armies win, but we can
certainly come through with
packages OF tin. When every
thing is said and done, It's wealth
will win the scrap. and there
should be a flow of mon from
every loyal chap. You are not
asked to give away or sacrifice
your dust; you lend to Uncle
Sam-and. say, he's surely safe to
trust! You are not asked to lend
for fun: good interest YOU re-
ceive; if you've no bonds when
war is done, you'll rend your robe
and grieve. All, then, you'll hang
your head in shame. and sound
doleful note; you did not help to
win the game and get the Prus-
sian goat. But these is none with
soul SO dead he will not buy
bond. cen though he has to cut
out bread, and see his cookstove
pawned. Let's march up cheer
full, blithe and quick, and buy, and
buy, and buy: for thus we'll make
the Teuton sick. and soak him in
