The Smith Rurusiana.

Qualification will be felt by all ad
mirers Of the works of Robert Burns
at the announcement just made that
the William Robertson Smith collec-
tion Of Burnsiana recently placed in
the Scottish Rite Temple on 10th street
is now open to the public for exami-
nation and use. This remarkable as
semblage of works of Burns and of
books concerning the Scottish bard
contains material not otherwise avail
able, and its presentation for con-
sultation will doubtless prove a serv-
ice to many who wish to study Burns
life and writings. The emplacement
of Mr.. Smiths collection of Burnsiana,
which represented many years of ac-
tive and devoted study and search, in
the Scottish Rite Temple was most ap-
propriate, as Burns was himself a
member Of the order, and it is a mat
ter of public congratulation that so
happy a setting was secured for this
unique and significant collection of
literary works and souvenirs.
Evening star., 1919-11-09

ferential between the ticket and cash
fares is sufficient to induce most per-
sons to buy tokens. Again, the ad-
vance from to even 6A cents ride
has caused many to walk who here
tofore have ridden. Furthermore. un-
der the new system there is NO charge
for intracompany transfers. which
causes loss in revenue. After a few
weeks Of operation under the new
rates it will be possible to determine
whether from these various causes of
ticket buying, walking and free intra-
company transfers the rates lately es'
tablished are yielding additional reve-
nue. to the companies. If not, further
requests for fare advances will prob
ably be made by the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company and the
Public Utilities Commission must
again consider ways and means Of en-
abling that corporation to pay ex-
penses and earn a reasonable dividend.
The public hope is that the new rate
will yield the necessary revenue and
that further fare changes will not be
necessary.
Evening star., 1919-11-09
, To Enforce the Traffic Rules.

Special instructions have been given
to the police to enforce the traffic
rules in an effort to make the streets
of Washington safer. Reckless driv-
ing, excessive speed, corner cutting
and failure to observe right Of way
are particularly to be checked, and
those who engage in such practices
are to be arrested. It is hard to catch
up with the rule breakers, who can get
away through their very recklessness.
But if the mounted force will run
down a few of these scorchers and
corner cutters and habitual violators
of the regulations the result will be
decidedly wholesome. The ssverest
penalties should be applied to those

New Fares and Net Revenue

Estimates made by officials of the
street railway companies indicate that
under the new fare rates there has
been a falling off in traffic and also
a net reduction in revenue. While it
is too early, perhaps, to Judge the full
effect Of the change in fares, it would
seem probable that the advance from
5 cents to 7 with Ga cent ticket rate
has not yielded the increased revenue
expected. Ninety per cent of the pas
sengers, it is estimated, are ticket
buyeNs. This is natural, as the diff

motor drivers in this city are scrupu-

will not take many convictions and
maximum sentences to demonstrate
that the traffic rules Of the District
are written for enforcement and can
not be contemptuously disregarded

Arrival of a giraffe at the National
Geological Park would attract almost
as much attention there as the visit
Of the Prince of Wales. A prince OF
Wales has been here once before. but
no giraffe has ever made his home
there.
Officials of the park are on the look
out for a giraffe, l am privileged to
announce, and 1t may not be SO many
months now before the long neck OF
one of these creatures Is stretched
out in greeting to the children oil
Washington.
After all, what is a zoo without
giraffe? Every circus has one, and
children have seen them there, but
they want to have giraffe all their
own, which they may come to see
every Sunday. Zoo" officials hoped to
get q giraffe before the war. but were
prevented by the conflict from secur-
ing one.
Dealers who handle giraffes and
other such creatures. much IN me
matter of fact way in which more
commonplace merchants deal in pins
and beefsteaks, are few and far be-
tween. Nice fat giraffes do not come
in focks, 1t may be remarked, and
the circuses always want them.
The war put the giraffe dealers al
most out Of business, but indications
are that giraffe hunting has been
resumed with vigor. and first class
specimens may be in the market soon.

A giraffe would thrive well on the
climate of the National Capital, ac-
cording to the keepers at the zoo.
Aside from the fact that there never
has been "sich an animule" there. no
is seen for a giraffe stringency ex-

to wit the above-mentioned Jean
will never be satisfied with the Ma

a giraffe. Maybe officials already
have heard about 1t. and that is the
reason they are bending every effort
to get one.

'There is none," carefully explained

Mamma, where Is the giraffe?"
