soldiers.) / do believe they would
like it much better. Very respectfully,

witches, and a friend of mine, Edward
Brown. and myself waited on the
firemen. 1t was so cold that hats
and coats of the f1remen were cover
ed with ice. Mr.. Aman and myself
made up about seventy-fve sand
witches and about six or seven gal
Ions Of hot coffee, and after every
body was served he handed Brown
and myself two boxes OF John Nc
Cullough cigars so that they could
smoke up. Old John Drew, en-

A hatless lady driving a four-pas-
senger empty automobile quietly
stopped at the northbound platform
on Fourteenth street, between G
street and New York avenue Mon
day evening at 5 o'clock, during the
congestion of traffic, and cordially
asked three lady war workers if they
would like to ride out home. The
three ladies' hastily accepted the in
vitation throwing away their trans
fers. The incident happened so
quickly that but few Of the hundred
waiting passengers observed it Such
thoughtfulness and consideration is
worthy of notice and should serve as
an example for others driving empty
automobiles homeward bound. 1t
not only assists in relieving the con-
gestion at waiting platforms, but af-
fords the workers an opportunity to
reach their homes in a comfortable
ride and at very little trouble and
expense to the owners of automo-
biles. KEEN OBSERVER
