Autumn Days

The leaves will soon be fall
ing down, regardlesso of the cost !;
the grass will soon be turning
brown, nipped by the eager
frost. The lovely flowers will
hear their knell when frost
CLEANS on the lawn, and soon
the flies we love so we'll will all
be dead and gone. All willing
are the gorgeous plants that
lately graced the soil, and soon
the chiggers and the ants will
cease their useful toll. The Sum-
ner's gone, the autumn's here,
and soon, gee whiz, how soon,
we'll see the passing of the year,
with church bells all in tune.
Some day from arctic wastes
there'1 roll a blizzard wearing
bells, and scores of folks will
rush for coal, to where the deal
er dwells. "Send us nine pounds
|of COAL" they'll cry, regardless
of the price! Our aunts and chill
dren freeze and die, our shacks
are cold as ice!" And then the
dealer, honest soul, will cry,
"Gadzooks, odsblood! I am en-
tirely out Of coal, and so your
rame is Mud. For months, it's
grievous to relate, the dealers
begged in vain, that you would
buy your winter slate while slate
you could obtain. The govern
ment backed up our spiel, and
begged you, Buy your coal!'
And now the dealer does not
deal-he has no goods to dole. ~
The winter time will soon be
sent, its storms will soon begin.
and sad will be the freezing gent
who has an empty bin.

Favorable to Train Idea.

Operation of cars in trains of two
cars each in all probability will be
ordered by the commission. This plan,
it is urged, would be particularly eff
fective in reducing congestion.
Mr.. Beeler declared today that
Washington is growing at such rate
improvements installed in the street
railway transportation provided only
temporary relief. Drastic steps must
be taken at once, he asserts, or the
situation rapidly will grow worse.

AIMS TO RELIEVE
TRAFFIC TROUBLES
Public Utilities Commission
Takes Up Suggestions Made
by J. A. Beeler.

With congestion on Washington's
street railway lines constantly in
creasing, the Public Utilities Com
mission is considering three measa
ures for relief urgently recommended
by John A. Beeler, its traffic expert.
One is the construction of the pro-
posed belt line, which will carry traf-
fic around instead of through the con-
gested district; another, the stagger-
ing Of hours for government clerks,
and, third, train operation of cars.
May Decide for Belt Line.
If these measures are put into OPP
GRAFTON simultaneously, immediate re-
lief will result, Mr.. Beeler declared
today.
Indications are that the belt-line
proposition will develop within a
short time. The proposed route IL
from street up 7th to U street, over
U to Florida avenue, thence to Con-
necticut avenue, down Connecticut
avenue to 18th street and to Penn
sylvania avenue, thence over the Po-
tomac Park route to Virginia avenue
and B street.
Information has reached the Public
Utilities Commission that the War and
Navy Departments are considering
staggering the hours for employees of
those departments. Mr.. Beeler some
time ago recommended that other de-
partmentS Stagger their hours, but
that the hours of the War and Navy
Departments be not disturbed. Little
has been done in this direction.

LARGE NUMBER OF
COINS TESTED BY
ASSAY COMMISSION

Philadelphia. March samples of
specie tested in the annual.inspection
OF the United States Mint here by the
Coin Assay commission represented
the largest number, of coins ever pass
ed upon by a body Of this sort. The

No material departures from the
weight and quality standards of coins

ar gold pieces must assay within a;
half-grain Of the required weight and
fve-dollar and two-and-one-half dol
lar gold coins within a fourth of a

standard.
The results of the tests just COM
pleted here were reported to Presi-
dent Wilson at Washington together
with reports of the output at the mints
in Denver and San Francisco. The lat
ter were inspected in this city by
NEAR of sample coins. In conducting
an inspection, one piece, pix as it is
known technically, is tested for every
one thousand gold coins minted aud
