ONE RING AFTER ANOTHER
is CAR CONDUCTORS LIFE
He Works Ten Hours in Twenty Four and His
Day OFF May Be Any One of
The Seven.

Some were hill boys" in the early
days and worked fourteen hours a
day for $3.50. putting on extra
horses to draw the cars upgrade.
The Changes In Salary.
On the first electric cars, eighteen
years ago. they earned IS cents ar
hour. Five years ago the salaries
were s21.2S, and 26 cents an hour,
according to the length of service.
Many men have become conductors
to "recuperate," as they say. from
more strenuous lahors. Many former
service men became conductors be-
cause they liked the outdoor work.
THE worst battle" they say, 'is
to get the people to more quickly
more forward ir, the car"
People are more stubborn than
mules" one old veteran declared.
New Man 1Gets stuck.s
OF course, the car conductor has
his troubles. Some times during
the rush hour passengers manage
to slip in without paying or to hand
in old transfers. One day recently,
a conductor reported, man boarded
a Mount Pleasant car and handed
the conductor q transfer that was
lBntly IOluc0- " nen ne was aSkeu
to unfold IL he answered that that
was what the conductor was paid to
do. The people were coming in so
fast the conductor did not nave
time to unfold it then. When he
did later he found it was sixteen
days old, and the man who had
given 1t was gone.
The conductor must be a very old
hand at the game before he can
avoid missing fares. Sometimes a
conductor will come in after his
days run with fifty or sixty fares
missing from his total. The pay
as-you-enter" cars are an improve
ment on the old type. As a con-
ductor put 1t. we used to get only
about half the fares. now We come
pretty near getting them ALL"

BATHING BEACHES
In DISTRICT CHANGE
Reader Tells of Growth of
Pools to Present
Basin.

No doubt you and many OF your
readers remember the barn-shaped
structure that stood about fifty feet
off the present Paul Jones Statue
called the bath house.
What an eye sore it was to the
thousands of motorists that used the
speedway. especially the visitors to
our beautiful city. How the National
Fine Arts Commission could look in
that direction for so long a time
without 4 sinking spell, l often
wondered. The bath house as we re-
call was run by a private party, who
made considerable profit from the
overflow Of humanity, who could not
get accommodations at the Munici-
pal Pools, run by the D. c. Play
Grounds, also located near the speed
way. The proprietor of the bath
house charged a moderate price,
twenty-five cents for accommoda-
tions and a like amount for the hire
of a bathing suit.
What a howl they made, I mean
the unfortunate creatures, that had
not the price. but nothing else to do
but bake in the sun until they could
Pools. What a volume of filtered
water the municipal pools used, my
1t was enormous and so much talk
of shortage of water in the city.
Very soon the Lincoln Memorial
Highway will take up tho ground
now used by the Municipal Pools.
All these arguments were presented
to Congress by the representative
citizens of Washington and other in
fluential people to give the National
Capital 4 beach like other cities.
Congress needed the pleading and
appropriated, 1 think $4,000 to build
the first structure. lockers, and
grade the beach with sand.
With increased population and
greater demand, Congress made
two additional appropriations, which
went to build two wing buildings
adjoining the main structure, until
now all that care to use the beach
can be accommodated. Experience,
criticism and complaints have
caused the management to get
things in pretty good shape both
materially and financially.
No criticism is meant on nv part
toward the management. alr praise
Is due him under the trying condi-
tions that have existed in the three
years he has run same.
My point Is the excess revenue de-
rived from the tidal basin activit-
les should go towards the upkeep of
the Fairgrounds Of the city.

YOUNG LOCHINVAR'S
OVERLAND.
by Ruth Augusta Mickey.

Young Lochinvar has come in to
the West,
Throughout the wide border, his
autos the best;
His weapon a pistol. and one naked
hand,
The other controls Lochey's new
Overland
So mushy in love and so tickle in
war,
Was there ever a Rookie like young
Lochinvar:
He minded not humping nor pune
ture Of tire,
For he sat on cushions and has
mending wire;
But ere he slowed up at the Neither
by gate,
The bride had been promised the
rookie wSs late.
For a laggard in all things includ-
ing love.
And thus by is lateenss near lost
his fair dove.
So boldly he entered the Nethcrby
door.
His bride was astounded and fell TO
the floor;
Then spoke the brides father, his
hand on his knife,
IF you take my daughter. you'll
give me your life"
The bride kissed a goblet and filled
IL with wine.
Tho young rookie drank II and said
II was lne.
He then drew her to him and said
with . hush.
'Elope wita me dear" and she
hastened to blush:
One word IN her ear and one tug Of
her hand,
Then he lifted her into his new
Overland.
she is woni We are gone" over
bank, bush and bar.
The Fords can not catch u.s." Quoth
syoung Lochinvar.
Then the friends and the kinsfolk,
as many as fitted.
Filled into their For@s-they would
not be outwittedl
They raced and thew chased. over
mountain and lea,
But the bride of voung Lochinvar
they never did see.
So mushv in love and so tickle in
war
Have You heard of a rookie like
young Lochinvar?

CHINESE GAMBLING.

This is one of the simplest games
there is. but il is no end of fun for
two. 1t Is played with nothing but
your hands. which are made to as
sumo three different positions. One
is with the fist clenched, one with
the hand spread out flat. and one
with the FIST and second fingers held
up and spread apart like a pair OF
scissors. The FIRST is called "the
stone. the second "the paper" and
the third "the scissors" The two
players are seated facing each
other. They both strike the
clenched fst Of their right hand in
to the palm Of their left hand three
times. and then bring up the right
hand in one Of the three positions.
The winner Is determined by the
following formula: Scissors cut
paper. Stone breaks scissor. Paper
wrap. stone" Thus IL you had
made your hand "the scissors" by
holding up your two fingers and
the other player made his hand the
stone" he would win because stone
breaks scissors. But II you had
made your hand "the paper" in
stead, then you would have won be-
cause paper wraps stone. The win
ner must always call out the for
mula that FITS the case. such as
stone breaks scissors" or PAPER
wraps stone"
Record is kept of the winner, and
the one who comes out ahead after
a ten-minute contest Is the victor
Of the game.

As Jack trudEed along beside his
father, Mr.. Fulton explained TO him
about the plants growing on the

half-heartedly. Plants were too
tame for him. He was on the look
out for a bear or a lion so ne could
tell the fellows about IL when he
got home.

any farther today. I can get my
specimens some other time"
But Jack insisted he 60 on. since
he was so near the top. So. using
his gun as a staff. he started Up
the steep and DANGEROUS path.
Half an hour later Mr.. Fulton re-
turned with some very rare speci-
mons. Coming out suddenly from
behind a rock to the plare where
Ne had left Jack. he stopped short.
His heart ceased beating. There lay
his son flat on his face: a big Srizz-
w bear nosinE around him. Jack
did not breathe. Was he dead: =
Mr.. Fulton leveled his gun at the
hear. His hand trembled. but hq
aimed carefully. Everything del
nended on the FIRST shot. There was
a loud report. The bear rose up or

body
Jacks father rushed 20 the hoy's
side. Pale and trembling. Jack sal

But ow did you know that
Mr.. Fulton asked In surprise.
Don't you remember that's the
way the traveller did in the fable

FAMOUS ANECDOTES
OF FAMOUS PEOPLE
WALTER SCOTT.

In 5NoLTs
Walter Scott tails the story Of
a boy who was In school with
htm when he was q lad. 1t was
the custom for the scholars in
that school to change their
places IN classes according to
success or failure in recitation.
This boy always stood at the
head of the class. Though wal
ter stood second he could never
get to the head because the boy
newer missed. But one day he
noticed that the boy had a habit
of twirling the button on his
Jacket when he was puzzled bv
hard question. This somehow
seemed to help him think out the
right answer.
Walter, more through mischief
than any worse motive, decided
TO cut on this button to see II r.
would make any difference. So
oRe day when no one was look
ing he slyly took out his knife
and cut on the precious button.
The next lesson was a spelling
lesson. Several Of the scholars
at the end missed q hard word
and IL came around to the head
The boy instinctively reached for
the button. It was gone. He
looked down to md IL. grew
eonfused, missed the word, and
Walter went above him.
The boy enver got to the head
Ggain- He seemed to lose his
ambition, settled down into a
second-rate scholar. and never
accomplished much in life.
Walter Scott declared that he
often suffered sharp remorse at
The thought that he possibly
spoiled the boy for school and
Tor life by cutting of the button
that had done such good service.

Young Author
Tells of Radio
Used by Doctors
by EDGAR EAGLEsToN,
y. A. Wireless Inspeetor.

At the beginning of the war when
the first battalion went across on
the transport Vera Cruz. a very sick
first lieutenant needed an operation
performed. for when getting on, a
bayonet was thrust in his chest
and punctured the right lung.
The only doctor on board was a
student who had all the surgical
implements but did not know how
to perform such an operation as
was needed.
The crew and soldiers were all in
despair. Everybody was in despair.
First Lieut.. Robert Manning was a
good man as he was a soldier, every
one liked him for he was full Of
life. So upon hearing this Raymond
Britt, Of the Engineer Corps,
brought TO his mind the name of his
old chum of d. c.. who was in the
first Americans with him. Upon
consulting the doctor he learned
that the lieutenant's life was on a
narrow margin. Getting to the
operators room he sent out an IS
o S. to the nearest ship with a
doctor.
After sending for a while he
picked up "2 V 5" whose doctor was
drunk. but just sober enough to
tell the student how to start. but
was pulled under a spell in the mid
die Of the operation. The student
was in great debt to the "s V S"
doctor. but would not forgive him
for being drunk. Robert Manning
was wounded at the Marine and
numerous other battles and received
many war medals and promotions in
the army. Though he owed his life
to the 80 V S" doctor he said he
would not forgive him for be-
ing drunk as il is worse than muir
der. slow edath. In alcohol the in
gradients are those which make men
leave home and go crazy. The doc
tor never drank again.

THEATER OWNERS
RAP MONOPOLY
Convention to Consider S..
000,000 Fund for Fight.

MINNEAPOLIS. MINI. June 2S.-One
man faced thousand today in a bat
tie Of wits and money.
Adolph ZukOr.. head Of the Famous
( Player-Lasky Corporation. was in the
lions den at the national convention of
the Motion Picture Theater Owners As
ISOLATION.
The executive committee Of the as
sociation decided to submit to the con-
. vention a plan to raise 5000, 900 from
every Independent producer and ex-
hibitor to break the monopoly" which
ZukOr is alleged TO control More than
a thousand delegates were to vote.
The fund would be used in extensive
advertising campaign according to Ben
jamin Hampton of Los Angeles, a lead
ing Independent producer. A nation
wide Independent film distributing
agency would be organized by the fifteen
or so independent prOdueers-about the
only ones left outside the Famous Play
s-Basky combination. Exhibitors also
would subscribe.
Friends Of Zukor said the movement is
a "brain-child of some Of radical poll
ticians' in the clan.
Lewis J. Selznick is closely allied with
Hampton in leading the movement.
