acres, which carries the line: Eighty

scenario has based his output on the
real happenings of the period in the
west. Scarlet Days" setting is in
the picturesque mountains and the
thrills of the picture abound in the
wildness of the land in the early
days of Bret Harte and Mark Twain
The story is based on the experience
of a dance hall mother. who has edu-
Gated her daughter in a Boston school
while keeping her in ignorance of
her own life. The daughter unex-
seeking her mother. just at the time
when the mother has fought with
another member of the camp. who
dies from a weak heart in the strug-
gle. The mother is sentenced to be
hanged by the boss" but a delay of
three days is granted that she may
receive the daughter. The beauty
of the daughter wins the sympathy
of the square" men of the camp
while attracting the desire of the
bad man. Gunplay follows and
many killings, but at last all ends
haDpily.
There are the usual good side pic
lures on the program and the SYM

The Cabin John Cars.
To the Editor Of The Star:


note in The Star of January eS
that the w. R. and Z. car line was
severely criticised at a meeting of the
North Capitol and lexington Citizens
ASSOCIATION on account of the car
service along North Capitol street.
1t Is charged that the unsatisfactory
service is due to the cars run through
from Brookland to Cabin John. If
these cars are too heavily loaded
when they pass through North Cap
itol street it would seem that the
fault lies in not providing a sufficient
number of cars to handle the business
and that the trouble is not with the
long distance these cars travel 1t is
comm endable in an association or in
dividuals to call attention to the
needs or necessities of any part of
car line in which they are specially
concerned. but it does not seem proper
that erroneous statements. and detri-
mental to other sections through
which the cars pass. should be made
and set up as an argument to get
better service along North Capitol
street.
seeing Mr.. Bowman's statement that
these cars are frequently practically
empty after passing 18th and II
streets. and from that point to Cabin
John Bridge carry SO few passengers
as to make it an absurdity to run the
cars this lengthy route"
1t happens that ] travel along the
line from 18th and II streets to Cabin
John nearly every day in the week
and can testify that Mr.. Bowman is
entirely mistaken. Instead of few
passengers" there are many of them.

nockburn and Cabin John Park. In
addition to the residents of these
thriving little places hundreds of Wis
itors take pleasure trips on this part
of the road simply on account of the
beautiful scenery along the Potomac
river both during summer and winter
1t is unfair that this section should
be unjustly berated and misrepresent-
ed, for it is just now rapidly develop
ing into interesting and prosperous
communities of home owners. The
street car line is doing its part to-
ward this development and the pa
irons appreciate the service and do
not agree with Mr. Bowman that
there is Criminal negligence" on the
