Has the W. R. & E. stopped run
ming it's cars to Fifteenth and New
York avenue? The other evening
the writer waited there for a car,
and although the tracks were not
occupied by the W. B. A.-some-
thing unusual-he had to go to the
middle of the block to catch a car,
and, to add insult to injury, when
he did reach the middle of the block,
along with a score or more of the
public, they were officiously in
formed by the inspector and con-
ductor to go to Fourteenth and New
York, as they were not taking on
passengers in the middle OF the
block. Ye gods and little fishes,
how long must we endure this?

Went into a store to buy dollar
Ingersoll watch and was told that
the price now is $1.75. That is a
pretty sure indication of the increased
cost of living, 70 per cent, and yet
Congress hesitates to give the Gov
eminent employees 81 day more to
help out. The average Government
clerk has never had more than a bare
living. A few earn enough to make
monthly pay ments on a home or
other investment, many actually suf-
fer privations, most of them just
manage to get along with nothing to
lay away for old age or misfortune.
Certainly republics are ungrateful.

HERE AND THERE

Out at Camp Meigs, which fo1
some time has been used for a de-
mobilization station, there's an Irish
corporal who has only been in this
country few years. This week he
was placed in charge Of the most dis
tinguished "detail" of men he had
ever seen-non-coms Of every
variety, and every one outranking
him, and brought together from all
four points Of compass.
Among this polyglot Of sergeants
were FRANK CONNOLLY and
FRANCIS "PETE" DAILY, manag-
ing editor and news editor respec-
lively, of the Comeback, the Walter
Reed Hospital paper, both we'll
known newspaper men, who are be-
ing discharged from the service.
The other day, while Connolly and
Daily were sighted" with picks and
shovels, to help clean up the side of
a hill, they began kidding the Irish
corporal.
HOW long have you and the COM
handing officer been in charge Of
this dump?" Connolly asked, as he
leaned heavily on a rake.
81 bin here thirteen months, and
when the armististis was signed they
made me q corporal for meritorious
service"
"No, not that quick; you must
have had influence" was Daily's re-
joinder.

This has been a mild winter and
we have not been touched bv
thoughts of little children freezin9

had people starving IN this balmv
winter for the very good reason thst
to keep from starving we must have
FOOD, not weather. There is as
mucn hunger, as much misery To-

greatly less public interest, for the

When a rich lady goes to a
charity" ball, who gets more, the hat
check boy or the charity involved?
The rich lady pays s. for a ticket
TOR someone pays it for her). She
spends q thousand dollars for a new
gown, and someone spends fifteen
dollars or more for some beauti-
ful flowers. Out of which total
expenditure / presume the charity
gets about fifty cents and the hat
cheek boy gets about the same.
1t Is not wrong for people with
money to spend to spend it, for il
should be kept circulating to nav
salaries to dressmakers' Assistants

l wish to point out once more. how
