 by pain,
 I walk alone in ways that we went

 The program included selections by Paderewski, Scl1umann, Debussy and Stojowsli, which were played with unusual charm and fine shading.
 The distinctive features of Miss Jamieson's playing is her deftness of touch and graceful phrasing, dexter ously expressing the surface bralliancy of her music with rhythmatic sense.
 In the selection By the Brookside, 3 by Stojowski, the listener might easily, from the charming swing of the music see the light playing over the pebles and the changing imagery of the over shadowing foliage.

j. S. RAIL CONTROL
SAVES S36,OOO,OOO

A saving OF approximately $4,000
900 in operation of railroads in the
Eastern region during the first year
of Government control is estimated
in q report to the director general
today.
In a resume Of conditions OF East
ern roads, A H Smith, regional dE
rector, shows q saving OF $S,500y0OO
in the operation OF passenger service.
His report also shows a decrease in
the cost OF handling freight Of 3d.
400 900.
The principle saving has been
brought about by the movement OF
heavy traffic OF similar kinds in
solid trains. These have been sent
across the country on express train
schedule. thus releasing motive pow
er and rolling stock for other service
in q shorter time, the report shows
Traffic ZOnlnE AIds.
Zonfng of traffic from East to West
and designating direct routes for
shipments has eliminated congestion
about 60 per cent, Smith said The
report explains also that this plan
reduces the amount of traffic hand
led through the busy gateways and
allows for a hastene1 movement Of
freight from North to South.

have played an important part
The last phase of Government
operation touched on by the report,
and by which It is claimed greatest
speed in movement of freight was
accomplished. is the utilization of in
land waterways. This coordination
between rail and water lines has per-
mitted the release OF thousands Of
freight cars for general use in from
one to ten days sooner than il the
shipments had been continued on

with the commission do not today
believe there would be any con-
siderable financial loss from free
transfers and that on the other hand
the railway companies viii greatly
benefit in the shortening of hauls.
1t is a maxim of street railway men
She world over that the short haul Is
the most profitable. One of the criti-
eisms OF a big increase in car fare
10 the public is that IL often loses
revenue to railways, becaVe the
short-haul passengers quit riefng ana
begin walking. The comparatively
small increase asked for here might
not have such results, at least not
permanently, but there can be no
question that interchangeable trans
fers will lessen the distance to be
travelled by thousands of Washington
people, lessen the time taken in max
ing journeys, and be Of incalcuiable
BENEFIT all around.
States Peoples Case.
Charles S. Shreve, president OF the
Federation OF Citizens Associations
today declared his belief that the as
Eociation, at its first meeting early in
October, will go on record in behalf
OF transfers as a part OF the conces-
sion OF higher fares to the railways.
''The people of this city" he said,
have long favored these transfers
and have never seen real good reasons
why they should not have been
granted long years ago except for the
money-grabbing policy that prevailed
for some time, together with an in
difference as to what the public
wanted"
The Utilities Commission may in
sist in granting increased fares, that
the two roads shall cooperate in a
rerouting of their cars to bring about
a further shortening OF runs. Inter
change OF cars through such a re-
routing might be difficult to bring
about, but transfers is not so com
plicated a problem.
1t was today certain that the Utili-
ties Commission will examine every
suggestion or proposition that may
lead to betterment OF service and re-
duction Of expenses along with the
granting of an increase. II the cars
O. either company may be routed over
ihe lines of another, with absolute
certainty OF benefiting the public and
reducing expenses, the Commission
VIII have an attentive ear.
U. S. Operation Suggested.
The local branch of the Federal EN-
ployes' Union recently wrote Director
General McAdoo favoring Federal op-
Grafton OF street railway lines Of
Washington. An answer has been
sent, but does not go beyond the
statement that Mr.. McAdoo has no
authority or law to do this.
Mr.. McAdoo has not varied from the
opinion that the law, which authorized
the President to take over the steam
railroads OF the country did not au-
tEorize similar action as to electric
railways. He does, however. favor
liberal treatment of electric roads by
the public.
The President has undisputed au-
thority in the housing law to build,
buy or lease public utilities at any
center of war activities and the time

New Connections Made.

By co-ordinating all lines, a great
saving has been made in the trans
portation OF railroad material, Smith
asserts. In this. the report shows,
