Overriding the objections Of Com
n,issioner Gardiner. the Public Utili-
;es Commission yesterday adopteI
the report Of Trafic Expert John 4.
BeeIer, consulting engineer Of the
commission. containing recommend
tions for the placing of six more
street car loading platforms on

of the Union Station. and one OH

The traffic situation in Washington.
and that they are needed at the
points designated. Commissioner
Gardiner objected ON the ground that
the platforms mar the beauty OF the
avenue. He approved of the proposal
for the platform on Fourteenth street,
but objected to those on Pennsylva-
mia avenue and the station plaza
Mr.. knight declared his belief that
the avenue, as an historic street, in
the appearance OF which the entire
country takes pride. should not be
cluttered up with unsightly loading
platforms.
Although the platforms proposed by
MIR. Beeler are of the portable type
now in use. Mr.. Gardiner was afraid
that IL once placed on the avenue
they would be made permanent.
The location Of the platforms on
the avenue will be as follows: On the
west side of Sixth street. on the west
side of Seventh street, the near side
Of Ninth street, the west side Of
Eleventh street, the west side of
Thirteenth street and the west side
Of Seventeenth street. The location
Of the platform on the Union Station
plaza is still under consideration by
the Commissioners. The street car
company will be directed to begin
work on the platforms Immediately.
Other recommendations in Mr..
Beeler's report, adopted by the com
mission. include the double rberthing
OF cars on all paved streets, except
where the second car would block the
intersection of the cross street, and
the establishment OF several more
front end collecting points.
The points at which the collecting
OF fares at the front OF the cars were
recommended are as follows: Penn
sylvania avenue at Seventh street.
westbound during the morning and
afternoon rush periods: L street at
Fourteenth street, eastbound, during
the morning rush period; Ninth
street and New York avenue, north
bound and eastbound. during the
evening rush period: and the Bureau
of. Engraving. northbound, during the
evening rush period.
Mr.. Beeler stated in his report that
the use of front end collectors at
these points would not require the
services of many additional men, as
several Of the locations can be work.
ed in combination by one man, and
that the additional men required
would be inconsiderable compa red to
the increased value Of the service
rendered.

to see that the production and dis

Washington be as complete and thor

Daily Reports to he Made.
Daily reports of all sales, produc-

This is to prevent the manufacturers
from lying down on the producing

'Jitney" ice stations are to be es-
tablished throughout the city to sx-
pedite deliveries. 1t Is pointed out
that II would be Of great service to
the public IL more Ice stations could
Be located throughout the city where
the public could call night or day to
purchase Ice as needed. This would
also relieve the deliveries.
The ice control committee viii meet

There are ample supplies OF am

manufacturer can truthfully claim
the scarcity of ammonia as the rea-

The drastic action Of the food ad-

Members Of the State railways and

The general order NO. - overrode
and ignored the forty odd State rail-

! the railway commissions are fighting
for their existence. They hold views
directly contrary to those expressed
by Mr.. McAdoo.
| Mr.. McAdoo has adopted a concili-

arise.
After a two days meeting in Wash

, Mr. McAdoo expressed O desire
! to cooperate with the State COM
missioners, and stated that he had
appointed Judge c. A. Prouty, d.
rector of valuations for the inter-

upon a plan OF cooperation.
Mr.. McAdoo told the commission
ers that II was manifestIy impos-

States railway commissions, before
deciding upon an imperative meas

Jones-he no Sp1ck Engteesh.
Whoever heard OF man by the
name of Jones who couldn't speak
the Kings English?
Very few of us. Yet such an in
dividual exists.
Angelo Jones was born IN Greece.
Therefore he is Greek.
Where he stumbled on his last
name Is of course none of our busi-
ness, as We have no right to be per
sonal with this gentleman.
Angelo was arrested, charged with
threatening to shoot customer who
came into his store after a bottle
Of ginger ale.
There was an argument about de-
posit to be paid on the bottle.
And Angelo, although he says in
English, said he was going to shoot
n" man fun of holes.
The man got a warrant. He had
20 desire to look like a sieve.
tsut again Angelo said he couldn t
ak English. How. then. he argued.
.'ould he say the word shoot" un-
50 he said it in Greek. and then
The man would not have understood.
The court realizes that some Greeks;
-" easily excitabIe. They bark, but
40 not always bite.
And so Angeles personal bonds were
taken not to carry out his threat.

"Yessah," said Dan. much reliev-

Dan and his wife had some
words. They had been having
words ever since they separated
some time ago.
Mabel, his wife. told the court
that Dan had threatened to "get
her" If he had to burn down the
house to do IL.
But Dan wasn't as dumb as he
looked. Because. sometime ago he
had his wife arrested for misbe-
having.
Therefore, it appeared very nat
ural that she would try to get him

 And that is exactly what the specta- tor gets in viewing Filling His Own Shoes.'' at the Orpheo theatre. This picture. produced by Essanay from Henry C. Rowland's novelt tte, un- doubtedly is one of the most highly amusing offerings we have had from that organization.
 Bryant Washburn is the star in this picture. Hazel Daily again appears in support.

BEST THEATRE.

Of all the motion pictures ever made none has had finer purpose than Joan the Woman,' in which Geraldine Farrar, the famous opera star. appears at the Best theatre to- day for the last time. II is not mere ly aWe-inspirin% as q spectacle and thrilling in it's heroic moments, but there is something bigger and more ennoblng back of it than stage craft.
 It shows to wnatheights woman can rise when it comes to a moment of sacrifice No one can cold back the big Jumps that come to the throat when they see this wonderful peas ant girl of France with ono of Eng her feet in the humble supplication of genuine love. hold back her hu- nane emotions because her country needs her. And in the continuance of this throbins love story every soul must be stirred to see the girl. Joan, hard as adamant on the battlefield, twice save tAe life of her Suitor only to find in the end that he is the one selected to trap her for the king of England. Historical and wonderful in pageantry it is. but the thing that will make it take rank with the great est motion pictures of our time ia the way loans great love story Is NCXen through it all
 Cecil B. DeMillc, the producer of the picture, has created as epoch in photodramatic history with this thrill ling and artistic achieyement.
