Given Rigid Test.

Mr.. Collins, when interviewed on the
subject, said that the 14th street and
Pennsylvania avenue stand gave the
police department more trouble than
all the other stands in the city. Mr..
Collins said that all the drivers of pub
lie vehicles had to go through a rigid
test to secure their licenses. and that
more than 1000 had been issued in the
last fourteen months.
Il have often stood on the corner
and watched the method these men
have of picking up fares" said Mr..
Collins, and have promptly made ar
rests when the occasion warranted.
Some of the men have been convicted
in court more than once"

Protests Receievd.

vania avenue have been received at
the Office of The Star and at the Dis
trict building. John w. Thompson,
prominent real estate broker, wrote:
Through the medium of your paper
wish to enter protest against the
and Pennsylvania avenue, especially
on the northwest corner. This seems
to be parking space for taxicabs
and other cars for hire. While there
is enough space between that where the
cars are parked and the curbing. con-
siderable danger Is entailed in going by
this locality, due to the fact that the
space without warning in order to pick
up some prospective fare coming out
of the hotel. -Four or five of these cabs
will make the dash at the same time,
and the consequence is that any car
between them and the curb is in
precarious position.
PERSONALLY. l have just escaped
smash on three separate occasions.
Another Objectionable feature Is
the habit of the taxicab drivers in
driving their cars at an exceptionally
slow rate Of speed around the block
bounded by Pennsylvania avenue on
the south, 18th street on the west. F
street on the north and 18th street
on the east. The congestion ensuing
from this practice makes it extremely
difficult to drive a car and also some
little danger.
81 hope that some relief from this
condition can be brought about in the
near future"
Paul H. Moore, in a letter to The
Star. says that the stand is public
nuisance. and that the men on the
stand totally disregard the safety Of
the private owner, in their desire to
be the first one to pick up fare.

An, well, it isn't for me- Whats the use of dreaming? Work Is my portion. Some women are born for domestic lives and some must get their domesticity by reflection. Busi- ness success for me. Love, marriag ge and motherhood for you
 l am in black mood. The cold rain snapping against the car win dows reminds me that summer is gone. The money I saved for this brave vacation has gone like the summer. I am dependent entirely now on my salary from Mr Heron. 1t is ample, and I see myself being {. stenographer of what the employ ment agencies call "the most superior grade" to the end of the chapter.
 By the time I'm fifty I'll have enough cash saved to buy me a two- thousand- ollar shanty somewhere on the outskirts of Bentsville, with an old maids prim garden and a basket of kittens instead of a nursery.
 Got to finish up Herron's mail now, get into my peacock blue net gown and dine with my captain of industry at the Fontainenlcau Hotel. The rail- road president and his cat wife are to be there and I fancy Heron wants to Haunt me in their faces. I did demur, but he asked 1t "as a favor" It is the first favor he has asked. I pray 1t will be the last. *"

On Board the "Wayfarer." the 27th. Joan Darling:
 . Your letter about the little house. came like a sudden cold, clear wind out of forest. It struck across my feverish day, scattering my thoughts, making chaos of all my ambitious plans.
 I was 8 simple girl again in Bents- vile, wearing white frocks that my mother made, adorning my red hair with bows of blue ribbon bought at Thel Bee Hive Arcade, and quivering with hope that Randy Lewis or some of the other boys would call on me in the evening.
 Letting all my deskful of MT. Herron's work take care of itself, I dropped my hands into my lap and thought back-to those quiet evenings when Randy did call Cor perhaps some other fellow) and we'd sit on the side porch and eat caramels and twang the banjo or the ukulele when talk lapsed. -tSentim ental songs we'd sing sometimes, along with the popu- lar ones. And I would always secret ly hope my caller would develop into THE man for me. And that there would be a home for me like the darling place you describe where you and Randy work together and dream of Japanese tea gardens and nur- series.
 Oh, my dear Joan, how my heart cries for the real things, the things that count, and last forever-married love, true ompanionship, little chil= dren, and home! Three months ago I started out in search of the road to these. What have I got? Nothing but bubbles dear! Beautiful, gay and unsubstan- tial bubbles while you and Randy are building life's real things, at which I shall nibble when you in vite me to stay in one of those sweet bedrooms next door to your nursery.
 Years ago in Bentsville, before my parents died, I was bored to extinc- ton by the things l had to do at home. l was sick of ironing days, and of setting tables and washing dishes and tidying the sitting room. I hated to dust. I wasn't even inter- ested much in mothers garden.
 [ used to dote on tales of adven- ture and always pictured myself trav- cling over the world seeing strange places knowing new and interesting people, doing exciting things.
 Well, here I am, doing very excit- ing things-and longing with every fibre of my being for home (which I once thought prison) and someone in it who will be to me what Randy Is to you. " What 8 wonderful hus- band Randy will make you, dear. He would make any woman happy whom he truly loved. He will adore his home and his babies.

THREE LYNCHlNGS
 IN TWELVE HOURS
These in Montgomery-Anot
 Threatened in New Jersey

Montgomery Ala, Sept. 3O.-Two neeroes-Miles Phifer and Robert Crosky-the latter a discharged sol d1er, were taken from county officials about five miles from Montgomery late yesterday and shot to death by mob of about 25 masked men. Both negroes were charged with having assaulted white women.
 The two negroes were being taken to the state prison at Wetumpka for safe keeping when the mob held I'D the automobile carrying them. The mob forced the county officials to surrender their arms, led the negroes into a wood and opened fire upon them with shotguns and pistols
 The negroes were fin the custody of three deputy sheriffs when the mob blocked the road and demanded that the prisoners be turned over to r., Realizing that resistance was useless, the deputies gave up their arms and the negroes. Leaving one of their number to guard the officers, the members of the mob took the negroes into the wood, released them and told them to run.
 Completely frightened, the negroes made little effort to get away and were only few yards distant when the mob opened fire. Phifer was in- stantly killed, hts body being riddled with bullets. but Crosky lived for several hours after he was shot down.
 The two negroes had been granted a preliminary hearing earlier in the day and their trials set for Friday. The mob began organizing soon after the result of the preliminary hearing became known, and, because of the danger. the authorities decided to take the prisoners to the state prison.
 Third Negro Lynched.
 John Temple, negro, who last night shot and fatally wounded Policeman John Barbare and who was wounded by the officer, was shot to death In a hospital shortly after o'clock this morning by a small band of white men. He was the third negro to die by lynch law within a period of F hours.
 Seeking Fourth Negro.
 Still another negro, Bird Astor. who was with Temple when Barbare was shot, was being sought by "a posse, and it is believed hts capture; will result in more violence. *.> There was no connection between the 1ynching of Phtfer and Crosky and the killing of Temple. ..... Last night Policeman Barbare ar- |sreEted Temple, Astor and a llegress 1. k.af charge of disorderly conduct AS ssresultt of 8 row following dance Temple resented his arrest and, shot the officer, but not before he himself had been wounded. In the mean time, Astor fled.

PARIS, Feb. 19:-When the Jugo
Slav claims for territory on the east
ern shore of the Adriatic came before
the supreme council of the peace con-
ference it was tentatively decided
that they should be referred to the
commission to which was entrusted
the examinations of Roumanian de-
mands says a HavaS report.
Baron Sonnino, the Italian foreign
minister. objected to this plan, how
ever. declaring that treaties dealing
with these territories had been con-
cluded between Italy, France and
Great Britain in February. 1918. Ho
said these treaties still were in exist
ence and consequently the signatories
alone were qualified to modify them,
acting in agreement, IL is said.
This objection was supported by
Premier Clemenceau of France but
A. J. Balfour, British secretary of
state for foreign affairs, proposed Il
compromise which was adopted. This
stipulates that claims regarding Bull
garia and Austria Hungary should he
referred to a special commission
while the Adriatic question should be
reserved.
Representatives of France on the
higher economic council, ii is an
nounced, will be Etienne Clemenceau,
Minister of Commerce; Louis l..
Klotz, Minister of Finance, and Louis
Loucheur, Minister OF Reconstruction.
