WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO WIN
THE WAR?

Franklin X. Lane, secretary Of
the interior could not write more
stirring appeal than that of this 49,
year old boy. 1t should be read not
only by every boy and girl, but every
man and woman in the United
States"
This was the opinion of Superior
Judge Thomas F. Graham, member
of the San Francisco Defense league,
and one of the judges in the patriotic
prize contests for children instituted
by Franklin B. Morse, a newspaper
man. and conducted by Our Animals,
a humane magazine issued by the
San Francisco society for the pre-
vention of cruelty to animals. The
subject OF the composition was an
nounced as What am doing to help
win the war"
Judge Graham had reference to a
letter written by Harry Harding, a
pupil OF Columbia grammar school
who was unanimously awarded first
prize In the contest Others on the
committee OF judges were Superior
Judge Edward P. Morgan, George E.
Gallagher, president of the board OF
education; Mrs. Frank Fredericks,
chairman of woman's defense council
and Mrs. D. e. F. Easton.
The prize winning effort follows:
What am doing to win the war?
On first thought / would say lots OF
things but / am not doing SO many
things, / am doing what / can do
and that is all our government asks
OF us. Where there's a will there's
q way is a very good proverb, but
as helping to win the war, you need
only little bit of will and many
ways come to us in this great, big
country Of ours.

RULES HELP
ny BILL PRICE.

Another month or so ought to dem
onstrate whether real benefits are to
accrue from the various recommenda-
tions OF John A. Beeler, the railway
expert, concerning Washington street
railways, in the opinion Of members
of the Public Utilities Commission to-
day.
II the changes that have been made
and which It is proposed to make do
not come up to expectations and ac-
complIsh results that are apparent to
practically everybody the Commission
will have exhausted its resources,
and Il will be up to Congress to de-
eide whether the roads, for the good
of the Government and the public,
should not be taken over in some
form by the Federal or District gov
ernment.
There are misgivings on the part
of a large proportion OF Washington
citizens whether all the remedies to
be applied will meet strain OF con-
stantly increasing population, but
they. like Congress, are willing to
await the outcome.
Board Awaits Results.
The Utilities Commission informed
Congress, in answer to the recent
Jones resolution, that until it has
given trial to proposed helpful sug-
Esstions It will not be prepared to
state to that body that Government
control is the one remedy.
The commission believes that good
has come from the orders put into
effect in the congested portions OF
the city covered by both railway
companies. The plan is to supple
ment these by measures that are de-
signed to work out still greater
benefits
A week from tomorrow the wide
Gpread "Skip-stop" system devised
by Beeler will go into effect, by
which one-thfrd OF the regular car
stops IN the District will be elimi-
mated in q further effort to speed up
cars and get people to their destina-
tions rlore promptly. This is. the
most far-reaching OF the Beeler
schemes, and the expert promises
substantial results from it
VIII Help Travelling Public.
I'VE recognize that there VIII be
some inconvenience from the skip
stop plan" said Commissioner
Brownlow today. "but we believe it
will ultimately work out in less in
convenience for the whole travelling |
public by decreasing the running |
time of cars and getting the public to
their destinations more promptly |
than in the past"
Beeler himself holds out rosy prom |
Uses. He realizes that there will be
grumbling and dissatisfaction at the
beginning, but feels sure that when
the public gets accustomed to the
plan II will voice its thanks.
ITO the public the most apparent
Improvement will be the increased
speed with which the cars will be
able to carry passengers to and from
their work." he said. This increased
speed and the time which will be
saved to the car rider will more than
Offset the time that II will take the
average person to walk to the new
stopping places. This average in
crease in the walking distance will be
141 feet, a matter OF twehty- eight sec
onds. The cars will move at least Is
per cent faster than at present. 1t Is
seen from this that the increased
walking time will be made up in the

Is Per Cent More Service.
This means that on a route where
the present running time is fifty min
utes. the new running time will be
forty-two and one-nalf minutes.
Suppose this line is now running on
hve-minute headway. Ten cars will
be required TO give this service. II
the running time is reduced to forty
two and one-half minutes, the ten
cars will be able to give a four and
one-Quarter-minute service. Nc only
will the speed OF the cars be in
creased, but Is per cent more service
can be provided. II is equivalent to
putting one new car on the streets
for every seven cars that are now
running"
The Utilities Commission will soon
have a conference with representa-
tves of Government departments and
bureaus and business houses in an
endeavor TO agree upon a program
for inaugurating Mr.. Beelers stagger-
ed hour scheme for beginning work
in this city.
This is the most important OF all
Mr.. Beelers recommendations. EEe has
declared that with the burden on the
ington to work at 0 o'clock in the
morning, 1t is going to be difficult
to achieve real Improvement in car
service. He wants staggered hours
for opening Government institutions
and business houses, so that the
peak load on the roads may be
spread.
Merchants to Cooperate.
The Merchants and Manufacturers
Association has written Mr.. Beeler
objecting to phrases used by him in
a newspaper interview relative to CO.
operation Of business men in the pro-
posed plan. Mr.. Lecse points out that
the business men OF the city have
shown a desire to aid in anything
that will benefit the general public
and will continue to do so. They will
cooperate In efforts for a staggered
plan to the best OF their ability,
hampered, as they are, by an eight
hour working law for employees and
by great scarcity OF help.
Mr.. Leese will make the views of
his association known when the Dis
trict Commissioners confer.
While the Utilities Commission is
struggling to improve street car con-
ditions through various methods, the
joint committee of the Capital Trac-
tion and Washington Railway and
Electric Companies are secretly at
work trying to bring about a.merger
OF the two lines. Two meetings OF
the committee have been held and
consideration is being given several
propositions. Another meeting will be
held next week, at which il will de-
yelOp just how bright are the pro-
spects for a merger, recognized
throughout the city as most diff
built, requiring the utmost tact and
most Judicious perseverance.
