down from the hill over the City Hall
and saw the great American desert,
made up only of sand and gravel, Il
wondered where Otto Kroeger was),
where nothing would grow but sage
brush and tumble weeds.
Passing on farther south, | came to
the worst looking river / ever saw,
Shiny water, bullrushes on either side
and the bed of the river filed with
alligators and mudturtles and the air
filled with mosquitoes as big as polly
wogs. 1t was great sight. thought
sure was in the place we read of.
The place we are all taught to shun.
While | was wondering if / would
ever get out of there, noticed an OBJ
ject appearing from the east, which
proved to be an airship, with a peace
dove perched upon the bow. As it
came nearer / said to myself, it looks
like either Woodrow Wilson or Billy
Walker at the wheel When it got still
nearer | saw it was Billy, as he was
much younger and not as tall and a
better looking man than Woodrow. He
looked the very picture of an angel.
He appeared to have white wings,

Down still farther towards Pigsville,
on the bank, saw our old friend, Tony

About this time / was disturbed in

A BIG MEETING.

A very large crowd assembled at the
Council Chambers last Tuesday eve
ming to discuss the Park situation for
the city of Wauwatosa, and from the
talks that were given by the different
citizens the majority were in favor of
buying the Wellauer tract. Good argu-
ment was used in its favor and in fact
they seemed but few who did not see
the same way.
Of course there was some talk in
regard to our streets, etc. There is
only one way in regard to our streets
and that is for the Mayor and the
Common Council to go right ahead
with the improvements where in their
judgment any improvement is needed
and do the work whether the property
holders are in favor or not. The Off
GERS are elected to run the city and
they should attend to their business
and perform the service that they are
elected to do. The time is past in
Wauwatosa when the Council should
be controlled by either "click" or club.

doctors, and though he is paralyzed
and must remain immovable, he is
quite himself and has spent much time
with relatives who have come to visit
him. Ha
Prospects Of sitting up within few
weeks, following his successful. pas
sage through the cast stage, are keep
ing him happy. To a query from The
Times today, he relayed the message
through a nurse that he was feeling
fine. but would enjoy having some
body come to see him."
Three of Hazelton's companions in
the ill-fated ship that crashed In West
Virginia few weeks ago, were in
stahtly killed. Hazelton was not found
for two days after the crash, but when
at last discovered by a searching party

A new departure from the old man

this year, will affect the first.year
cadets Of the high schools more
broadly than the seniors. 1t is plan
ned to change the firstyear cadets
from a military body 10 that of a

themes is the plan.
The first step in putting the new
plan into force will be the disarming
OF the young cadets. They will be
permitted to wear the regulation blue
uniform, however.
At first drill will take place on the
city streets, but after the new regu-
lations 20 into force the rookie cadet
body will make use Of the school
stadiums for their exercises, and
especially those designed to increase
muscular development, will be put
in force.
Because the new regulations this
year are of such a military character,
II was thought wise by school authori-

cation for the young first.year cadets
and the mass calesthenics plan" was
decided upon.

RIVER TERMINAL
FORWASHING1ON
URGED BY SMALL
Head Of National Harbors Con-
gress Proposes Wharf FaciIi-
ties on Channel.

Washington needs a modern water
terminal. according to John II. Small,
president OF the National Rivers and
Harbors Congress. He has written q
letter to District Commissioner Ru-
dolph endorsing the. stand taken BY
the city heads 10 improve the Wash-
ington channel. and making suggss-
tions for the building OF buikheads and
slips and warehouses.
While these suggested improvements
will cost a great deal OF money. Mr..
Small says. they will pay handsome
profits. Washington needs modern
water terminal which, 1t appears.
should preferably be located on the
Washington channel" says Mr.. Small.
while II may be superflous to do
so, the location should be selected with
a view to all the requirements and
have ample area. There should be
substantial bulkheads and slips and
capacious warehouses. The termin-
ais should be physically connected by
belt line with all the railroads serv-
ing the port. and at least one or two
rail tracks should be laid between the
warehouse and the bulkhead. Trans
fer facilities, electrically operated.
should be installed for the transfer OF
freight between the boats and the
warehouse or the rail cars. There
should be established interchange Of
traffic between the rail and boat
lines, with joint and divisional rates
between each, either by, voluntary
agreement or through the Interstate
Commerce Commission. OF course the
terminal and the belt line should be
owned aud regulated by the District.
This terminal should be open to all
vessels, and the belt line open to all
al 10
terms.
AT the present time all water
transportation upon the Potomac ls
what may be called local. The con-
struction of the terminal and the belt
line will afford an opportunity for In
terchange of traffic between the all
lines and the boat lines, thus afford
ing interior points the benefits Of the
cheaper cost of movement by wats@..
While the present commerce upon the
Potomac at Washington Is consid-
erable. 1t represents only a small pro-
portion of the commerce which might
be developed through the agency Of u
terminal and belt line and inter
change Of traffic between the boats
and the railroads.
There Is another valuable use to
which such a terminal could be sub
JCStCos w iiCCuo coiiAo SSfs~
trail point at which all food products
coming to the city could be concen-
trated. Many of these products are
consigned to brokers to be sold upon
commission, some are consigned 20
purchasers, while others are offered
for sale by the owners. A part of this
terminal should be set aside as a gen
eral market place where the buyer
and seller nay meet and dealings may
be conducted in the open and upon
fair terms. Many of these products
are perishable, and their concentra-
ton will promote sanitation and at
.ractive conditions. Such a market
place would tend greatly to increase
tn shipment Of food products 10
Washington, not only sufficient for
local consumption, but for distribu-
ton to interior points by rail through
the facilities provided.

DEG. To ADOPT
PLATFORMS As .
/. AID TO TRAFFIC
Device at Scott Circle Found to
Be Effective in Prevent
ing Accidents.

Platforms to divert the traffic in its
proper channels at Scott Circle. at the
intersection of Massachusetts, avenue
and Sixteenth street northwest. have
proven SO effective that permanent
concrete platforms will be built, work
on which was begun today.
Cost of the permanent platforms
will be approximately $4,000, 1t was
stated, but due to the minimum num-
ber Of accidents an a result~of the
new method, 1t is expected that the
half circle platform in the middle OF
each heavily travelled circle will be
adopted as standard.
Due to confusion of vehicular traffic.
form~- platforms tried out at Scott
Circl., which caused a part Of the
traffic to zigzag, were abolished in
favor of complete half circle forms,
which diverts all traffic over Sixteenth
street. north and south, to the Inside
Of the circle. close to the monu-
ment. and diverts all other traffic on
the outer edge Of the circle.
