Your article in Mondays paper
about Mr.. Beeler's plans beats all
around the bush OF my thought re-
garding efficiency. The cry for more
street cars and more tracks Is the
same old howl OF American waste
fuIness and Extravaganza, instead OF
our learning to use wisely and eco
nomicAlly what we already have.
What We need Is efficiency OF serv-
Ice. The street car companies should
direct their efforts toward getting
better results out OF the work they
do. 1 still insist, in spite OF all argu-
ments to the contrary. that II the
existing cars on the Washington
Railway and Electric line were run
along faster and with more regu-
farity OF schedule the service would
be improved. With that improve
ment, skip stops, and q plan for open
ing mercantile stores and Offices at
different hours from those OF the
Government, we should have q serv-
Ice sufficiently improved to get along
on. When the cars are tied up on
the W. r. and z. line, which hap
pens a dozen times every day, the
crowd runs over to the Capital Trac-

A FTER Madame Schumann-
u Heink's recent recital in
L = New York the great singer
came down TO the footlights and
made q little speech to the au-
dience that had crowded Carnegie
Hall to hear her.
As every one knows, Shumann-
Heink is German born. But she is
the wife of an American citizen
and she Is the mother Of two young
sailors In our navy.
Both these sailor sons attended
their mothers concert. Moreover,
they had brought with them thirty
or forty comrades from their ships.
As every seat in Carnegie Hall had
been sold, the huge stage was
turned over to these sailor boys.
And the great singer sang 10 her
American audience against this
splendid, patriotic background
the most beautiful and effective
background she has ever had.
When the concert was over her
proud sons took their pals back OF
the scenes to meet their mother.
1t was then that Madame Schu-
mann Heink, alone on the now de-
serted stage, made her first public
speech.
An Aside Remark.
She had sung "The Star-Spang-
led Banner" and the stirring song,
when Our Boys Come Home" 1t
was to that song and those boys
that she spoke, in very simple
words:
al could not say this while tho
boys we're on the stage" she be-
gan, confldentially. They would
get-how do you call it?-sOre ON
me. But | want you TO do some
thing for all these boys in our
navy.
"They are all such wonderful
boys. They are so brave, and so
proud OF their uniforms. and so
glad to serve their country. But
when they are of their ships. in
the streets OF big. strange cities,
they are such lonesome boys!
They are just awful lonesome!
$50 what | am going TO ask you
to do is to take them home with
YOU as often as you can. Just
pick them up wherever you see
them-on the streets or at the
movies, or wherever it is-and
take them to your houses and give
them a good time. That is so
easy for you to do, and it will
mean so much TO them."
The audience applauded rap
turously. From that day the sailor
boy became the special quarry Of
generous New York women.
Before that, unless they had the
excuse of sons of their own in the
service, many women had hesi-
tated to offer indiscribminate hos
pitality. They were not quite sure
it was desired. But on the sing
ere hint thay sped into the high
