half a mind not to take a lantern

Nell has a remarkable memory,

How to Man the Street Cars.

To tho Editor Of The Star:
Every ono who hasn't fiivver OF
one kind or another has moro than
q passing interest in the efforts of the
street car companies to provide ade-
quats transportation facilities for
tho District. The Washington Rail-
way Electric Company informed the
Public Utilities Commission recently
that . large share OF its difficulties
lies IN q shortage Of labor. So acute
is this shortage that. to quote the press
reports, "the company may find dif-
ficulty in extricating itself without
resort to means never tried as yer.
such as the employment of women. OR
aged men past the period OF war
service or active labor" In actual
figures the company fnds itself un.
able to operate within 7.401 trips OF
its daily capacity. This means that
It needs more than 500 additional con-
ductors and motormen.
In good faith l should like to sug-
rest that both street railway com
pan1es make tho attempt to recruit
new employees among colored men IN
the District. There are several hun
dred college and professional students

CHAPTER So.

CHAPTER SO.
Well tomorrow I guess we are go
ing to leave this port and go back
into the interior of France to a train
ing camp and after we stay there
little while we will be sent into the
trenches and show the Fritzies how to
really fight. We been in this old berg
. week now and everybody Is nuts to
get to work and see some of the
country.
I guess people who stay at home
and never travel can't ever know how
different a forrin land is from back
home. In the first place everything
10 old-even most of the people you
sec around the streets. The buildings
down here are never more than four
or flve stories high and the streets
are about as straight as a cheap poll
tictan. and mostly narrow and paved
with cobbled stone that are about 900
years old. And they got the funniest
street cars and they only charge you
70 santemes which is three cents to
never see horses hitched like ours
but one Is always in front of the
other and instead of four wheeled
wagons they got big high two wheeled
would upset If you looked at one end
harder than you did at the other.
In fact you wouldn't believe that
everything could be SO funny and
different from the way it ought to be-
Just take the language furinsance:
what none of US soldiers can under
stand Is why they have to call every
thing by an odd name. Now there's
an ordinary grocery store; do you
suppose for a minute that these
Trenches call 1t a Grocery Store?
They certainly do not-they call it
an Epicerie. And how anybody who
was looking for grocery store
would go into one of them places with
Q name like that is by me and over
the fence.
Then the people are a lot different
from the folks back home too.
guess that's where you really get hep
to the fact that war has been going
on 50 long over here. You hardly
ever see any big strong looking men

"Okeh." !"

To the Editor Of The Star:
The now famous "okeh," President
Wilson's word of approval, which in
good usage is certain to supersede
the nonsensical form 20. K" has Gre
ated almo-. as much discussion as the
subject of the split infinitive. It is Of
interest to find that the Century Die
tionary apparently slipped a cog in
the spelling Of the word-the correct
form Of which IL "oke," not ''okeh"-
and that there is a second error In
spelling in the dictionary's citation
from Byington's Grammar Of the
Choctaw Language of the form ".yai
okeh." meaning Thanks to you
The grammar actually reads yak
The form "oke" (meaning at is'')

unless they are in uniform. and most
of the soldiers you see down here are
on sick leave or have left the army
on account of getting hurt, or a leg
cut on or something.
But you certainly do see q lot Of old
men and women and kids-thousands
OF them. I guess the ordinary Frenchie
must live to be about no or some-
thing like that from their looks. And
they're healthy and strong too, but
back home they'd be sitting around
the fire knitting and reading and tell.
Ing about the Civil War and old Abe
Lincoln. Here they're out helping
win tho war by taking the place Of
strong men who are away doing the
front line fighting. Everybody in
France seems to be helping whip the
Germans-even the kids
kind of feel sorry for these kids.
Some Of them don't look as husky as
kids back home, and lots of them
have lost their dads and are going
to have pretty hard shedding. But
they'll laugh and work their way
through all right.
guess after all that's the thing
that fmpresses me most about France
tho way everybody and everything
keeps going on and making hay as II
there wasn't any war or trouble or
sorrow. Everybody from ons year old
up to hundred IS fighting all the
time for France.
