Car Crossing at 18th and q Streets.

All west-bound U street cars stop
once in the neighborhood of 14th
street, but on which side Of 14th an
oncoming car will stop no man can

waiting on one side he would fool

the driver but the car sign that

day hundreds of patient and law
abiding citizens guess wrong and are
obliged to wait another five minutes
or so, and then they are likely to
have the same experience over again.
In rainy weather and when in a
great hurry some of these unfortu.
mates have been heard to remark that
of all car stops in the known world
the one under consideration is the
most unreasonable. unnecessary and
exasperating. Whether or not this Is
true is not for me to say. The ex-

and disappointments Of life, but IS II
not a little severe on the aged and
