he moves farther on.

BEELER PROPOSES
BELT LINE CARS
Connecting Construction by
Government; Operation
by Existing Roads. -
UNIVERSAL TRANSFERS

Government construction and own
ership Of tracks connecting Wash
ington's two street car systems, at
an estimated cost Of $3.50, 900. and prac-
tically universal transfers are called
for in q plan submitted to the Public
Utilities Commission today by Traffic
Expert John A Beeler for improving
car service to the new groups Of gov
ernment buildings south of Pennsyl-
vania avenue.
It is q proposal for . belt line, to
be Effected Through utilization Of e1-
listing tracks on 7th street. U street.
Connecticut avenue and tho new Poto-
mac Park extension Of the Capital
Traction Company. with hextensions to
be made through the laying Of track
on street, between 7th and 18th
streets; on Florida avenue, between
Connecticut avenue and o street, and
at other points
Practically Universal Transfers.
Mr.. Beelers Recommendation is that
the government construct these links
and direct the street car companies
to operate the belt line. He proposes
that every point of intersection of the
loop by a line of either company be
made a transfer point
Capital Traction cars would inter-
sect the belt at eight points and
Washington Railway and Electric
Company cars at twelve points This
1t is pointed out practically would
establish a system Of universal trans
fers in the city.
The traffic expert says tho loop
might be operated by either company
or both Jointly. He suggests as the
preferred arrangement that the Cap
ital Traction Company operate one
track In one direction and the Wash
ington' Railway and Electric Com
pany the other track in the other di-
rection. The distance around the belt
approximately is 6.1 miles.

Prepared for Navy Department.

No report made by Mr.. Beeler since
he began a stndy Of local traffic con-
ditions contains moro radical sugges-
tions than the one submitted today. It
was prepared at the request OF the
Navy Department
The government has realized for
some time that something would have
to be done to furnish additional
transportation facilities to the thou
sands of government clerks who will
be housed in the new buildings south
of Pennsylvania avenue. Mr.. Beeler
has worked out the problem in such a
way as not to disturb traffic In the
congested downtown portions Of the
city.
Copies Of his report have been sent
to both the Navy and War depart
ments. No action will be taken by
the commission until the federal de-
partments have expressed their opin-
ION of the plan submitted.

FORMER MONER MAN
TELLS OF ARMY LIFE
From the Mosier Bulletin

j. N. Mosier received the following
letter from a former business man of
this city:
'Just few lines to let you know
that am in the army, having enlisted
little over week ago. My address
is Private d. D. Hail, Co. G, 362nd
Inf, Camp Lewis, Wn.
Coming as do from line of people
who have always responded to their
country's call in such times as these
and realizing that our country has
never before faced so serious a crisis,
| have given up (for the time being)
my profession, my family and my
comforts to do my small bit.
1.-THE camp that am in is wonder
ful place and for one of your turn OF
mind would be more than worth while
seeing. Why not come on up and let
me show you around?
Gradually an army is being made
out of the mob that was sent here and
men are being made out of many of
the buns and riff raft. Not that
want to convey the impression that
this is an army of inferior men but
that class is herein the minority
and are being compelled for the first
time in their lives to live a steady,
clean and manly life, and it is wonder.
ful what it is doing for some of them,
all of US for that matter. One man
just told me that he had gained eight
pounds in three months and | really
think that the average gained by every
man in this company would not be
much under that. tell you, JEFF, this
war, even if Is per cent of us are
killed, is going to improve the human
race and add to it's efficiency so per
cent.
Another thing: The army is doing
more Hooverizing than the people.
Everything that is saved by the people
back home for the army is being used
up to the last ounce. The garbage
from our company (250 mem including
everything, table sweepings, crumbs,
scraps, kitchen waste and all is car.
ried away in less than one garbage
can day. One can of waste to 750
meals surely is cutting things down to
the smallest possible margin.
"Well, jeff, write me and give me
the Mosier news. Tell me all about
yourself and | will be glad to answer
you and tell you what | know of
interest -

WOMAN ASKS Aid
OF GOVERNMENT
Hood River, January 9, 1918.

IlODu hlNCtt Jduudiy y, iOics
To the Editor: Will you kindly state
in your columns the cause of the soft
condition of much of the rubber in the
Economy jar lids during the past
season?
have had good deal of trouble on
account of it last summer and sus-
tanned some loss, but after carefully
watching my jars month or two after
canning | thought my trouble from
this source ended. The other day my
daughter made a chicken pie. She
opened three quart jars before she
found one good for use. None of US
could detect anything wrong with the
third quart, but when the New Years
chicken pie appeared on the table we
found our appetite for chicken sadly
impaired, but we obligingly proceeded
to partake in true Hooverized spirit !;
though with extreme caution and to-
tally void of the happy elements
appropriate to New Years Day.
| paid 80 cents per dozen for my jar
lids, which is certainly a good price
for good lids, but if my unfortunate
experience were limited to few in
dividual cases would deem it of small
Importance, even though had lost all
my labor and materials. This trouble
is not limited but extremely preva-
lent, and demands public attention be-
fore another season arrives, or many
like myself will be unwilling to con-
serve (?) in this manner. Housewives
who wish to do their bit toward ending
the war need protection from fraud
perpetrated SO extensively.

APPEAL TO WARE
HOUSE OWNERS

Fire Chief Morgan last week re-
ceived the following eloquent appeal to
Oregon warehouse owners from State
Fire Marshal Harvey Wells. The
appeal, printed on cardboard in three
colors, red, white and blue, will be
placarded in warehouses throughout
the state.
'It is up to you. Our boys are in
France. More are preparing to make
the great sacrifice. What are you do
ing today?
General Jackson said to his men at
New Orleans, Trust in God and keep
your powder dry This war is not GO
ing to be won by grains of powder, but
by grains of wheat. This is not war
of surprise, but war of supplies.
The millions of bushels of grain grown
this year in Oregon are still thousands
of miles from France. II has to be
shipped before the enemy is whipped.
We trust as did Jackson, but we must
protect our supplies.
Have you competent watchman!
Try him. If he is not the right man,
get another. Have you fire fighting
apparatus on the place? A spark may
mean a blaze; blaze confiagration.
Roll out the old barrels: fill them full
of water. Place a ten cent package
of baking soda in every seven and one.
half gallons of water and you have as
good a carbonic acid gas fire extin-
guisher as can be desired. Train
every man on your place just what to
do if a fire should happen. Drill them
from time to time to see that they are
doing it. Keep supply Of sacks
handy beside the barrels. These
soaked with this liquid are great aid.
'Put all rubbish in metal cans. AL.
low nothing to gather on the floors, ir
the corners or under the buildings. Be
responsible yourself for the cleanliness
of the building. This is your bit.
Never keep man on the place
who persists in smoking near the mill
or warehouse. Never allow a stranger
inside the building.
''lf you have not thought of these
things before, your duty as citizen
calls them to your attention now.
This is no time for waiting. Youl
grain may be insured, but you cannot
eat the money; neither can the boys In
France. An army must be fed before
it can go ahead. This is your bit.
"You who can not travel with the
army. help the army to travel. 1t i:
up to you.
