Vitally Affects Vast Territory.

If the canal goes out of business,
due to the failure of the government
to renew the financial assistance given
it last year and the unwillingness of
the company to begin operations fac
ing an almost certain deficit, it will
affect vitally the residents of a vast
territory bordering the canal on its
185-mile run between Washington and
Cumberland, Md.
Locktenders, of whom there are
eighty, will be the principal sufferers,
Ii is stated. as it will be more diffi =
cult for them to get in touch with the
outside world and find new employ
ment than for the boat crews. which
make headquarters at Cumberland
and Washington and the principal
towns along the route.
The canal has been a veritable para
disc for Washington wanderlusters
and vacationists. Camps and shacks
of every description dot it's course
for a dozen miles or more out of the
city Week end parties and even bath
ing in the canal have become i'm
mensely popular. Closing down of the
waterway will remove one of the prin-
cipal sources of recreation afforded
the Washingtonian in summer.

Deplores Lack of Indictments.

In presenting the resolution Mr.. Ward
said there had not been an indictment
for any of the 1895 traffic accidents or
56 deaths resulting from such accidents
reported in the annual report Of Super
irtendent of Police Pullman. 1t was in
conceivable, he said, that the person in
jured or killed should have been inVaria
bly, the one at fault.
This statement led W. l.. Soleau to
indulge in a severe taxcoriation of the
police department. He referred to Maj
Pullman as a 'natty police superintend
ent" who could improve conditions if he
would see to il that the crossing police
men enforce the traffic regulations
Washington's crossing policemen, he
said do not enforce the law and are not
worthy of the name They should be
sent to Los Angeles or Chicago. he de-
clared. for instruction in the duties of
traffic officers. Mr.. Soleau finished with
the remark that ii lis huge joke the
way the regulations are enforced here"
W. L. Bryant came to the rescue of
the motorists. asserting that careless
pedestrians are to blame for a large
number of accidents. Charles c. Lam
caster said that the maritime law
hich requires steamships TO turn out
OF their course when approaching
sailing vessels should be followed on
the streets, and that motorists more
than pedestrians should be charged
with responsibility for avoiding ac-
cidents.

Government ownership of pubic
utilities was to have been debated by
the Columbia Heights Citizens As
sociation last night. but the meeting
turned into lively discussion of
traffic accidents. with the chief of
police. crossing policemen and certain
classes of motorists and pedestrians
coming in for a round of criticism.
Declaring that it is time for plain
talk the members adopted unani-
mously resolution requesting the
Attorney General and the District
Commissioners to conduct an investi-
cation to determine who is responsi-
BILE for failure to secure indictments
against and prosecute persons re-
sponsible for traffic accidents.
The resolution. offered by George A.
Ward. also requests that it be de-
termined whether any officials
charged with the enforcement of the
criminal laws applicable to the Dis
trict have been guilty of non feas-
ance in office, with a view to prose-
cutting and remos;ing them if found
guilty.

1t was learned today that the canal
company. expecting the government to
continue TO assist it until business
conditions begin to return to the pre-
war basis, has made preparations for
an early opening of the canal this year.
In fact. operations could be started in
a few days, it is declared, should the
government decide to continue the
agreement it had with the company
last season.
Director General Hines Will decide
what the government is going to do
in the matter. From authoritative
sources it is learned that the recon-

Mr.. Hines opposes renewing the agree
nent which was in effect last year,
under which the government made
good a deficit in operation experienced
by the company. The company mas
not stated definitely what course 1t

SUBSTITUTE FOR ROYAL ARMS
Placing of Cap and Bells on English
Paper Was the Origin Of the
Word "Foolscap."

Several explanations have been Civ
en- of the meaning of the word fools
cap" as applied to certain class of
paper. One of the explanations is that
when Charles I of England found his
revenue short he granted certain priv
ileges, amounting to monOp0lies, and
among these was the manufacture of
paper, the exclusive right to which
was sold to certain parties, who grew
rich and enriched the government ut
the expense of those who were obliged
to use the paper. At this time all
English paper bore. in watermarks.
the royal arms. The parliament under
Cromwell made jest of this law. and
among other indignitieS to the mem
Dry of Charles it was ordered that
the royal arms be removed from the
paper and the FOOLS cap and bells be
substituted. These were in their turn
removed when the Rump parliament
was dismissed. but paper for the size
of the parliament's journal still bears
the name of "foolscap."

These pockets are bound with fancy
silk braid, and the same braid appears
as a band on the sleeves and in a
neck decoration. Altogether this little
dress bespeaks careful attention on
the part of an expert designer and
the very clever management Of the

MICROBES HAVE LONG LIFE
Neither Time Nor Heat Seem to Have
Much Effect On Some Micro
Organisms.

Eternal youth seems TO have been
accorded in full measure to some
microbes. Before the French Academy
of Science Prof. Yves Delage read a
paper reporting discoveries by Doctor
Gallipe. who is credited with finding
in century-old paper organisms still
living. According to this report, these
organisms resisted heat of 24S degrees
Fahrenheit.
Time no more than heat seems to
have had effect on these little or=an-
isms, as Doctor Gallipe has found liv-
ing ones in paper of the fifteenth and
eighteenth centuries" said Professor
Delage. "rhey are capable of cul1ira-
ton and of movement.
More than That, Doctor Gnllipe has
found in fragments of paper of chi
nesc manuscript dating before the age
of printing micro-organiSms still living
and able to move and that multiplied
