A Valuable Part of Beeler's
Loop Scheme
By. BILL PRICE

Ending of the war apparently ended all Of John A
Beeers loop scheme for Washington street railways except
that for the extension Of tracks of the Connecticut
line down Seventeenth street from to Pennsylvania ave-
nue. permitting Mt Pleasant and Georgetown to reach
Potomac Park over the Capital Traction lines and return
The proposition as submitted to the Public Utilities
Commission and agreed to by the Housing Corporation
for the latter to furnish upon bond issues curved
tracks from street into Seventeenth so that wesoound
street may also to Potomac Park, will not be
put in Westbound passengers would presumably have to
transfer there
The most valuable part of the Beeer plan has been
agreed by the Housing Corporation the railways That
the extension of tracks from Eighteenth street along
street Ninth Center Market and thence to the Seventh
street line of the Capital Traction Such line would serve
vast part of Washington which must reach Potomac
Park by long, roundabout pay two fares 1t
would be of real benefit to thousands who have long dis
tances to ride.
The Capital Traction Railway had the good fortune to
obtain permission to enter Potomac Park many months
before the The company wanted to make the park
cesble to its patrons and spent money freely doing
The sort of accessibility ought to be given big
part of the city from another direction One of the advan
ages of municipality owned lines here would be the elm
nation of crcuous riding In the absence Of unifcaton
the car lines the public is entitled to such advantages as
might come from new construction connecting up existing
lines
The Governments present interest in new connections
is to carry and from work the 900 people employed in
the temporary buildings frngng Potomac Park The con-
neeon and Seventeenth WILL in the opinion of experts
he'll much.
The street extension would not only greatly aid saw
ing these GeFement workers who live east of Eleventh
street norhw time and frequently double fares but
would become permanent benefit in that it would make
the park accessible to hundreds of thousands of people in
the days to when the beauties of the place viii be the
principal attraction.
In the and Seventeenth streets project the Housing
Corporation addition to guaranteeing the money nsurs
the railway companies against whatever difference Of
there is between wartime and pre- wartime periods.
On the same basis, is an opportune moment to
build the street extension, thereby providing all these
Government workers with proper transportation facilities

The Editor The Washington Times:
Sir: Permit me to offer a suggestion
to you for an editorial upon a matter
that should concern the people OF
Washington greatly. 1t is more i'm
portant in my opinion than the edi-
torials on great national economic
questions, because it deals with .
pressing need OF today.
It is my fortune to travel to and
from the office at which ! am now
stationed on the Georgia avenue car
line. AS you know, this car line is
used by the wounded men from Wal
ter Reed Hospital These men are
men that have given a limb for our
country's cause. The night OF the
signing OF the armistice. going home
at 0 o'clock, one OF these men with
only one arm, was compelled to stand
all the way out to Upshur avenue. He
stood along side of a woman who was
seated. The woman was perfectly
healthy and, judging from her looks
was, TO say the least. overfed. AcrosF
from her was a GENTLEMAN, i'm
maculately dressed with a chrysan-
themum in the lapel of his overcoat
seated, of course, and neither OF these
creatures because they are not hu-
mani thought Of offering their seats
to this soldier. Another night
got up to give my seat to a wounded
soldier. a man with only one leg, and
practically had to forcibly prevent
a woman from taking it.
Please in the name OF common de-
cency write an editorial pointing out
to washingtonians the duty they owe
these men. Please, also. point out to
the owners of motor cars who travel
in the direction OF Walter Reed Hos
pital that IL would be very nice
courtesy for them to offer these
wounded men the service OF their cars
to take them 10 the Walter Reed Hos
pital when they are going that way
They might carry a sign for instance
saying Thy the way, Is IL not a pity
that we have not an expression like
the French word "blesse?'') There
Is always room in this car for
wounded soldier. Hail it,"
Please take the time to write an
editorial sufficiently strong to point
out to the people of Washington the

from young Washington man.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
For the benefit of the girl who
wrote you, not long ago, to ask
what young men think of girls
who allow men to kiss them, I
wish to give my personal impress
sions on the subject:
The average young man who
goes out with a girl usually has
no intention of becoming engaged
at all. He goes for a good time
There may be some fellows who
go around with girls for the
pleasure of their company. how
ever, have never met any such,
and II / should, l would say they
were too young to know any bet
ter. or hardly human. The aver
age young man goes with a girl
solely because he wants to kiss
her and enjoy similar privileges.
OF course 1t is gratifying to a
fellows vanity to know he Is the
first man a girl ever kissed, but
il he is not, what difference does
* make. inasmuch as there are
no marks to show her expert
ences
Perhaps you will think am a
pretty low sort OF person. never
theless / have no reason to be-
llsve that l am any different from
the average young man. l have
written thus frankly in the hope
that girls who have well-crystaI-
Iized ideas on the subject. will
feel called upon TO grab a pen
and give me their point OF view.
BIZ
This young man anticipates my
opinion of him correctly do
think his standards are pretty low.
And / believe the type of girl will
ing to accept his attentions is not
much better. She must be easily
satisfied II she accepts this young
man on his face value. Her pas
sive attitude suggests that Of q

which becomes thumb marked

The following letter, evidently
from one of our French guests,
contains some real pearls of wis

few casual compliments with our
Yankee seriousness, and the atti-

She is the chum who enjoys ev-
erything, even a laugh at the other
