as to Railway Service.

With several patrons Of the Rhode

change be made in the present ar
rangement of stops. others protesting
against alleged action of the Rhode
Island Avenue Suburban Citizens As
ISOLATION favoring abolition Of the
Mills avenue stop and the associa-
ton denying, through its secretary,
that 1t took such action, the public
utilities commission is endeavoring to
straighten out confused situation re-
garding the wishes of the community
as to car stops.
Following receipt Of letter from the
association. dated June 10, In which
abolition of Mills avenue stop is pro-
posed under certain conditions. the
commission received letters from
thirty-five individuals. practically all
Of them protesting against elimina-
tion Of this stop. The fact that there
appeared to be division of sentiment
was published in The Star of June Is.
William H. Delaney. secretary of the
association, them wrote to The Star
stating that the only action taken by
the association was to favor an addi-
tional stop at goth street northeast.
THE association" said Mr.. Delaney.
"has never considered the abolition of
the present stop at Mills avenue. 1t
realizes there is a great public neces-
sity for both stops"
Letter Proposes Additional Stop.
The letter sent by Kenneth R. Arm
strong, chairman Of the associations
public utilities committee, to the COM
mission proposed an additional stop
at goth street and Rhode Island ave-
nue., "if possible without discontinue
ance Of any other existing STOP"
After stating that before the skip
stop plan went into effect more per-
sons used the goth street than the
Mills avenue stop, Mr.. Armstrong;
letter continues:
'If 1t is found impracticable to
make both the goth street and the
Mills avenue stop. I would suggest
that the Mills avenue stop be discon-
tinued and two stops substituted
therefor, /. e., at goth street and at
ED street.
"As a further alternative, should the
above plan also be found impracti-
cable. 1 would suggest that the stops
remain as at present, and the inbound
stop at Mills avenue be shifted to
Goth street"
Walter c. Allen, executive officer of
the commission, stated today that as
there appears to be doubt as to the
exact action taken by the associa-
tion, effort will be made to ascertain
the Views Of the majority members Of
the community before any change in
the present car-stop arrangement Is
effected.

MAY THERE BE NONE
UNENLISTED ON THAT DAY!

President Wilson, in his statement
calling upon every man, woman and
child to pledge themselves on or be-
fore June % to save constantly and
to buy regularly the securities of the
government, says, MAY there be none
unenlisted on that day."
AS the President points out, "This
war Is one Of nations-not of armies
and all Of our 100,O0O000 people
must be economically and industrially
adjusted to war conditions if this ma
ton is to play its full part in the
conflict.
That part consists in giving the
army and the navy all the support of
which we are capable. To do that
each one of us must first Of all be a
producer to our maximum ability and
a consumer of necessities only, for
every bit Of man power and every par
ticle of material is necessary for the
use Of the army and navy and for the
making Of the things essential to our
citizens.
AS maximum producer and as a
consumer of necessities only, each OF
us would be an accumulation of saw
iings. And these savings can be in
vested in War Savings Stamps with
benefit both to the government and to
ourselves.

A new worlds record for high div.
ing was made at Sydney, Australia,
late in March during water carnival
for the purpose Of raising war relief
funds. A Solomon Islander named
Alick Wickham dove 2O5 feet which
easily surpasses any existing figures
for such feat.
Wickham, swimmer and diver of
note, who is employed by the Sydney
trolley service, was persuaded to at.
tempt the dive as part of a lengthy
program of aquatic events held at the
Deep Rock swimming pool. A high
platform was erected near the top of
the cliff-like side of the pool and at
the announced hour for the dive
there were thousands of spectators
present to witness the perilous feat.
he Solomon Islander admitted that
when he reached the top of the tow.
er and looked down at the pool more
than 20 feet belown he was badly
ratified and desired to quit but the
fear of being accused Of cowardice
forced him to go through with the
performance. He leaped off and was
able to retain both equilibrium and
consciousness for the first $50 feet
after which all became blank. Wick.
ham struck the water in a semi-prone
position with such force that he was
completely knocked out for more
than ten minutes. When taken from
the water he was bleeding from a
dozen places about he body and his
swimming suit was split on one side
from neck to knees.

Buenos Aires, June 90 Only q
citizens of the United States regis.
tered for the municipal elections in
Buenos Aaires under the new law
which gives the vote to foreigners In
municipal elections. The census of
1914 showed that there were 3,449
Americans in the Argentine Repub.
lie. 1t is estimated that this number
has doubled since the war began and
that most of them are living in Bue.
nos Aires.
The newspapers commented unfav-
orably on the fact that, of the 1870 900
foreigners in the city who we're en-.
titled to vote, only 1855 registered
and said this showed that they had
no interest in the city beyond making
as much money as possible and then
returning to their native countries.
The papers argued from this that the
foreigners collaboration in the city
government could never be depended
upon.
The census of 1914 showed that
there were nearly as many aliens in
Buenos Aires as natives, 777,S45 for.
eigners and 797,969 natives. In or.
der to give this great foreign popu.
lation a voice in the city govern.
ment a law was passed recently ex.
tending the vote to all aliens who
were married to Argentine women,
or who had children born in Argen.
tina, or who paid a specified amount
of house rent. This included nearly
all the married foreigners in the
, city. Unmarried foreigners were en-.
titled to the vote if they paid as
much as fifty peosos a year in taxes
The nationalities most largely rep.
resented in the registration were
Italians, SAT-; Spaniards, 1904:
French, 5OSs Russians, 4S1; Uru.
guayans, S77; Germans, 1876; Eng
lish, 144.
One of the newspaper in comment
ing unfavorably on this rejection Of
the ballot by the foreigners, said il
was an "inexplicable social phenom

Who always says what good he can

Who speaks of absent persons, too,
With the same kindly intention,
Delighted of what others do
To make a friendly mention.
He never says bitter thing

For that's the way 1t strikes him.
