April

When April comes the welkin
huns with cries of human
gladness; the Winters past and
Spring at last has come to can
our sadness. The birds return
with songs to burn, and frolic
in the naples; the farmer sows
his oats in rows, and hay and
ether staples. When billiards
whoop around the coop it's
hard to keep on smiling; but
April days soothe weary jays,
with zcphyrs most beguiling.
We're tired and worn ere to his
bourne old Winter has departed :;
his SNOW and sleet have chilled
our feet and left us broken
hearted. Despair he springs,
but April brings a salve for all
our bruises; the wintry blast is
uueered at last. and all the world
cnthuses. The ancient guy of
bleary eye forgets his many
winters, and hops along with
laugh and song, caution to all
sprinters. The man of aches
whose groaning makes discord
of existence forgcts disease and
laps the breeze that comes
from some blue distance. The
chronic crouch forsakes his
couch without a beef or below,
and throws his hat and kicks the
cat and seems sprightly fellow.
Oh, April ends our woe, my
friends-the woe that winter
bringcth; the smiling gent
knows sweet content, and like
a dinger dingeth.

Tenders Are Discussed.

The old question of whether tenders
on street cars do more good tina m
harm was injected into the proceed
ings. The Capital Traction and Wash
ington Railway and Electric Company
representatives thought that tenders
cause more accidents than they pre-
vent. They will submit statement
to the commission as to what the rec
ords show in this respect.
Officials of the Washington. Balt1-
more and Annapolis and Washington
Virginia systems advocated abolish
ing both tenders and wheel guards for
the cars in interurban service. They
would replace the tenders with pilots
designed especially for high-speed inter-
urban cars.

"Immediate" Rules at Stake.

AS to the first of these proposals.
the contention was advanced that the
traction managements frequently find
it necessary to promulgate regulations
for the conduct of their business to
take Immediate effect. and often it is
necessary to change regulation on a
days notice. To be required to OBJ
tain the commissions sanction in such
cases. it was argued. would be tanta-
mount to the commissions taking over
the management of the properties.
leaving the companies without full
control.
Regarding the second suggestion.
the opinion was expressed that the
holding of cars in barns after acci-
dents until inspection can be made
would result in serious curtailment
of service and considerably nconve1-
ience the public.

Association Mans Request.

William NICK. Clayton. who attend
ed the hearing as representative OF
the Federation of Citizens Assocfa-
tions, asked the commission to re-
quire the companies to report the
names of all witnesses to accidents.
He would have the commission keep
such a record for public inspection.
Also. Mr.. Clayton proposed that when
a car is held up for ten minutes any
passenger on the car shall be en-
titled to a ticket good for a trip at
any time on that line. In addition
to this he suggested that when cars
are blocked by a tie-up passengers
in the rear cars shall be entitled to
transfer to the forward cars.
The commission is not expected to
reach any decisions i'll reviving order

FILM LIBRARIES

The idea. of libraries of educational motion pictures is gaining much sup port. The government is already do- ing a good deal in this line. Many people feel 1t should do much more. Thomas A. Edison, in a recent maga- zine article, says the government should have great libraries of educa- tional films to be used in school work. He would have these avail able so they could be had in any school anywhere. He thinks there are a great many slow minded children who could get ideas in this way that they could never obtain through books.
 The time will come when all pub lie libraries will carry department of educational moving pictures. Pic ture machines and films will be pro- duced at moderate prices and will be- come common in schools and church es. History, geography, social science. community spirit, the Bible, and many other subjects will be taught in this way.
 Moving pictures are destined to be one of the worlds great educational forces. They convey ideas more vi wildly than any other method. They arouse emotion and enthusiasm. They form deep impressions that profound ly influence people.
 These pictures performed a tremen- dous service during the war. They helped people who do not read much to understand the reasons for the war, and to see Americas peril. They secured a splendid support for the war efforts.
 In the same way moving pictures can be used to help on all cOmmun- ity causes. Boards of Trade can use them to arouse interest in business enterprises. Village Improvement Societies can employ them to show what other communities are doing 1T Identification. The power of thi: form of instruction should be realiz ed, and a great system built up fol
