The Waste of Calves.

To the Editor of The Star:
Speaking of meatless days, the fact that
all days will soon be meatless ones for the
whole nation was most forcibly brought
hcme to me one morning this week.
Passing through market l saw six freshly
slaughtered calves. ranging in age, l
should say, from eight weeks to three
months. adorning (?) dealers counter.
and when I paused to compare the pit
fully small amount of meat their car
casses would provide with the mountain
Of food they might have furnished had
they been allowed to mature. I smiled at
a minds picture of the dealer piling
them on his counter. In this time of our
greatest national crisis-and the uncer-
tainty OF its duration-why is it that the
far-seeing powers that be" have not
taken some step to prohibit this ruthless
slaughter and waste? True, numerous
attempts have been made to discourage
the sale of veal, but, like alcohol, SO long
as it is on the market there will be pur-
chasers. Calves do not need wheat to
sustain them to maturity, and our corn
crop never was more abundant Cannot
something be done? Is there not some
one whose influence is far-reaching who
will step forward and use the same for
the conservation of one of the most es-
sential of our foods? There is rumor
of tho government taking over the pack
ing inG<'stry; and wouldn't it be wise to
spread * protection over the young of
our food az smals. especially calves and
lambs? Mrs. L. l.. GRAHAM

PLANS RELIEF FROM HIGH

People have come to Washington
when the nation is at war. They have
no discretion about it. Certainly in
the majority of instances their inter-

sometimes indefinitely and sometimes
for a few days. And all these people

New Year Musings

The New Year is a sight to see,
to people safe and sane, and I've
no doubt that it will be a year of
stress and strain. There'll be a
thousand urgent calls for coin in
sacks and kegs, to purchase use
full cannon balls and shells and
wooden legs. Our boys will go
from training camps, from native
shores they'll scoot, to paralyze
those Teuton scamps, and make
them cease to Teut. And ever as
the battles wax, and armies
charge the foe, the burdens on our
shapely backs the heavier will
grow. Before this brave young
year runs down We'll know, be-
yond all doubts, who are the
pikers in our town, and who the
dead game scouts. We can't get
by on bounce and brag, in crucial
times like these; a lot of bunk
about the flag won't help things
DER the seas. Fine words and
phrases loud and big won't put a
foe to fight; we'll have to dig,
and dig, and DIG, if we would
show we're white. The piker
cannot save his face, excuses
don't go down; it's either glory or
disgrace for every gent in town.
The year will show us if mems
souls are sordid or sublime, and
slackers, welded to their rolls,
will have a beastly time.

Change In Distance.

For the patron the immediate ef-

said Mr.. Beeler. in explaining the above
calculations, 'fs a change in the dis
tance he must walk from his destfna-
tion in order to board the car. Obyi-
ously. the maximum distance a person
has to walk on account of the location
OF stopping places is equivalent to one
half the space between two consecutive
stops. The average walking distance
- but ore-quarter of this space. In
some cases change in the location Of
stopping places may only make re-
adjustment of the route to be walked
rather than an increase in the distance
TO be covered The above calcuIa-
ffon shows that the passenger actually
saves ~ minutes in time by walking
on the average, an additional distance
OF seventy-one feet at each end.
There is no standard practice for
locating stopping points, the length of
block generally being the determine
ing factor. In several American cities
there has been adopted the so-called
.skip-stop' plan. by which stops have
peen made at alternate streets. The
most notable progress along this line
IN any American city has been made
In Cleveland. Ohio. Under the direc-
tfon OF Peter Witt. former traffic COM
missioner. a standard has been adopt.
ed for an average of ABOUT five desie-
mated stops per mile. The plan in that
city has proved that this space is very
satisfactory. both to the public and

Recommendations to Be Made
Following BeeIer Survey
Attract Interest.
PROTESTS ARE EXPECTED

With a system of "skip-stops" be-
heved to be assured for Washington's
street railway lines, interest Is center
ing in the recommendations to be made
by the Beeler survey as to what street
corners shall be eliminated as stopping
points for cars.
: The New York traffic experts are now
studying conditions on each line. and
already have marked a number of cor
ners that they will recommend for the
nonstop list, as well as a large number
of fire stops which they believe should
be abolished. for the purpose of speed
ing up service as well as saving coal
1t is anticipated that these recon-
mendations may draw forth protests
from citizens who will be inconve-
nienced by them. but they will be de-
Tended on the ground that they make
for better service as whole.
There necessarily will have to be
more or less of give and take in this
matter of abolishng stops" said Mr.
Beeler, "but 1 believe the public Will
not be long in realizing that the plan
Is a good one and that individual sac
rifices are justified If the general serV-
ice is improved"
1t is assumed that the public utili-
ties commission will give nearing on
the "skip-stop" plan, though no an
nouncement has been made as to how
the Beeler recommendations are to pc
handled.
