Walkfests as Protests Against
Scent Street Car Fares
By BILL PRIC Il.

Whether results are accomplished toward forcing
change in the street railway situation in the District it is
undenaby true that thousands of people walking to
and from their Offices protest against the increase In
fares to cents Wakfess the order of the day.
The public is stirred to unusual degree This is
revealed in letters to The Times strongly
mendng that wakests be instituted organized scae
There arise doubt the wisdom of this
course but no doubts that from the standpoint OF health
walking is mighty good thing Just how long the walkers
will maintain their present attitude is another question So
long as the weather is good the game may go
Some OF our correspondents doubt whether the high
price of shoe leather justifes walking protest. but all
agree that Congress should take action to relieve highly
aggravating conditions
The history of increased fares nearly all cities is
that fares higher the number of people who resort to
come has been that the railways failed TO obtain the rev.
they had expected and compelled to ask for
further fare increases This notably true in Boston
where the fare for a long time has been 10 cents
1t will be interesting to get the figures OF the first month
of operation in the District under the Scent fare They
will tell whether the railways have increased The
tesw much to- the W. r. and E. too for seems to
be practically settled that the Utilities Commission has gone
far it will go in increasing fares unless unexpected
increases in expenses become necessary.
The Scent fare should be the LAST increase awarded
this city, and every influence should be exered upon Con
gress enact legislation that will insure consolidation of
the lines and lower fares.
On the walking problem c. J. MENASCO strongly urges
the public to walk and many other communications in
the same tone LEAH GLASSMAN says the public is
ing money "Once a passenger who walked only saved
dime each day. Now he saves 16 cents" is Gassman's
philosophy
: NORMAN H. BARNES thinks the public is unfair to
the W. R. and E. and the p E. P Co. He points out that
the expenses of both have risen enormously Mr. Barnes
adds:

that attitude on the part of many
mistaken women which causes
men, both married and unmarried,
to deceive and lie. When u

she usually does, sooner or later,
she has to face not only the fact

MY DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

Once before you helped me to de-
eide a rather troublesome question,
so l am coming to you again with
a problem which has caused me a
good deal of consideration recently.
l am a young girl, nineteen years
of age, graduated from high school
and have been earning my own liv-
ing for almost two years. Il met a
young man lin the early thirties)
at my place of business and he
took me around to quite a few nice
affairs, also visited at my home,
and finally when he was leaving
Washington to take a position in
the West, told me that he cared
for me, and would be very happy
IL / would become his wife. l had
gradually grown to love him very
much also. consequently was very
glad to give him an affirmative
answer. My family also is very
fond OF him, and look on our al
fair with great favor, but they do
not think we should be married
til at least year from this sum-
mer at the earliest. 1t Is our wish
to have the wedding in the fall,
and we see no reason for postpon-
ing and endsngering our happiness
by waiting almost year ana
half. Should l do just as my par
ents desire, without considering
my own wishes and future happt-
ness, or do you not think i am the
one to decide this, the greatest or
all questions? i have never had
the right to decide things for my
self, my parents have always taken
complete charge of all matters con-
corning myself but I feel now that
1 am old and competent enough TO
have a mind of my own ana assert
It when ] am the person most con-
cerned. My parents can only rear
lie that they don't want TO lose me
so soon, they want me themselves
for a while yet. but they can't see
my viewpoint at all-that l nave
my own life to lead and that reel
that my happiness depends on not
waiting too long before marrying
l hope you will be able to g.Ve me
your idea on the subject. as you
are a third party. and Will be aoie
to see both sides OF the question:
BLUE EYES.
How young you are, my dear!
You say you don't want ito endan-
ger your happiness by waiting al
most year and a half-if you
we're a few years older you might
look at the reverse side Of the pic
ture and realize that you might be
endangering your happiness by
marrying now. Whether a girl OF
nineteen is capable Of selecting her
life companion depends very much
upon the girl, her experience and
development. have seen girls
that age who could and have
known others who would have
made a fatal mistake. The trouble
with girls under twenty Is that
they have the appearance and hg-
ure and emotions Of q woman, but
the mind and experience OF a girl.
They are not sufficiently expert
enced to realize that their judy
ment In neither mature nor sound.
With them. what they want 10 do

Your parents have the background
of much experience upon which to
base their views and, did you but
realize it, they are only trying to
save you from some of the mistakes
they themselves have made. You
have your own life to lead" you
say. Wonder what would have be-
come of you in the last eighteen
years IL father and mother had
used that selfish and specious ar
gument? If they are like most
parents they have lived the greater
part Of their lives for you and l
hope you will realize that difference
to their wishes is one Of the last
things you can grant them. before
you throw your lot with another.
Anyway, it's a good five months
before autumn. Why not let the
subject rest until midsummer?
BY that time you may have changed
your mind; they may have come
around to your way of thinking.
But, whatever you do, don't mar the
last few months you are to spend
with your mother and father by
dwelling ceaselessly on this par
ticular problem. Let them have
the memories OF these last few
months as the sweetest of their
lives. don't think it is altogether
a desire to keep you with them
which prompts them to ask you to
walt but rather the wish to have
you entirely certain that you are
getting the man you want. A
year and a half is a short time
compared to forty years of mar
ried life.
DO you fear that in waiting his
love will cool? Better have it cool
