HEARD AND SEEN.
Aren't These Nam PeopIel


Way down in East Potomac Park,
a full miles walk from the nearest
street car line, are about 200 little
gardens belonging to industrious
men. The Government has con-
tributed little plots of 40x100 feet.
The man who worked a garden last
year gets two plots this year.
The other day a finely dressed
woman stepped out Of her big auto
mobile, leaving two poodles with the
chauffeur, and helped herself to fine
carrots growing in a row Of one Of
the gardens. She is said to be one
Of a number Of automobile owners
who have been plucking good things
from the gardens of the hard-work-
ing citizens, and the gardeners are
aroused to the point of making
threats.
Traffic Officer J. r. JENKINS, who
cultivates two plots, was appointed
to narrate these facts to The Times
He has suffered from these depre-
datory excursions.
The visitors may not understand
how much the little gardens repre-
sent in cost Of seed and hours Of
hard labor. Whether the acts are
deliberate or thoughtless they do in
jury to men who do not regard the
AFFAIR IN mirthful light.

Among the staff writers of The

the military service during the war:

A reader inquiries: why not a
decoration for courteous conductors
No. 1871, Of the w. R. and E., held
a car for two minutes the other day
to give an aged woman, who was
standing at the wrong car stop, an
opportunity to get aboard. Very
few of these sort Of chaps.
"VIC" STONECIPHER thinks
that the situation at Fourteenth and
U streets, where the Capital Traction
is making improvements to its road
bed. is dangerous and irritating to
automobile and other traffic and be-
lieves that the solution is to keep a
traffic officer at that important point
in the evening until the work is COM
pleted.
Another writer says there is no
traffic officer at Ninth street and
New York avenue and thinks there
should be one at Sixteenth and U
streets.

D. JACK NEVIN, who used to
spell his name Nivens, when he was
a resident of Washington ten years
ago, is back among US from Grand
Rapids, Mich. Jack says its just
like getting back home. First thing
he wanted to know about was where
GUS NOACK is. Says Gus used tc
lend him money, which bears out
previous claims made by Gus. Jack
changed his name because nobody
knew how to spell it. He has no re-

S. W., rhymes over John Barleycorn
in this fashion:
They claim 'Ole John" has done gone

But don't believe that stuff.
Hes simply down with a bandaged

For his treatment has been rough.
Mr.. Mays poetic sentiments, in the
concluding lines, express the belief

B. E. ESTE says he went into a
branch postoffice in the northwest
section to buy six thrift stamps, ten
dering $50 pennies, neatly wrapped
in three packages. The clerk re-
fused to sell the stamps because
there are already over 1000 pen
MES in the safe"
ESTE very properly wants to
know if there is to be discourage
ment of purchase of Thrift Stamps
since the war has ended.
FRANK S. PEED is of the opinion
that as the Federal clerks organize
ton has taken up the question C
Saturday half holidays the year
round for Government employees .tas
best way to go about it would be:
The clerks committee should get
the Saturday half holiday law for the
District in its exact language, have
petition signed by every person IN
terested, as we'll as those in symp8-
thy with such a movement, and pre-
sent the petition to the President fer
his consideration as soon as he can
find time to give it proper attention.
Let's not go about it arrogantly or
as supplicants but as plain upstand-
ing Americans. Do it in respectful
manner and / truly believe there Will
be no more Saturday afternoon work
except in real emergencies.

MESA WOMEN WANT
 GOODS DELIVERED

MESA, Jan. 26.-The members of the Mesa ANomans club want their groceries delivered, or at least such is reported to have been the sentiment of the women gathered at the Friday meeting when Mrs. Ferguson led the topic on home economies. Some one mentioned the fact that the women of Mesa had to spend lot of time and a great deal of trouble going after groceries, and at once the discussion became lively. though, so it is said, the talk was mainly to the effect that it was hard to. understand why Mesa happens to be the only town in the county where groceries are not deliv- cred. Be that as it may, the ladies are going to find out why, and a commit tee was appointed to bring in a report at the next meeting, when, if the meet ing concurs, a plan to interest all the women of the town in the movement for grocery delivery service, will be inaugurated.
