French and the American overnments
wish it to be. AS long as these two
governments are in their present frame
of mind there is no prospect of sue

strongly in favor of the meeting. The
conference will be postponed in spite
of the fact that most people wish to
have conference and that the states

Skip.Stops.

One OF the citizens associations has
entered a protest against the continue
ton Of the "skip-stop' system, which
was adopted during the wartime con-
gestion Of Washington as a means Of
facilitating traffic and conserving fuel.
This proposal should be very seriously
considered by the Commissioners, and
not dismissed merely because the sys-
tenn has prevailed for several years.
Within the city limits "skip-stops''
are not now needed for either traffic
advancement or fuel saving. The coal
crisis has passed, and there is no pros
pective shortage. The city has been
much reduced in population since the
war, and the traffici problem is not
nearly so acute. a.
The plan of omitting certain stops
was only justifiable on the score Of the
emergency. It Is undoubtedly hard

gree. The loss Of time to the people in
going the extra distances to and from
the established stopG is quite as i'm.
portant as the gain Of time that may
be effected by the omission Of some

One feature Of the skip-stop system
which operates against the public in

the places where the cars are halted.
In the daytime the yellow discs may

traffic Is undoubtedly facilitated by
crossing over an intersecting track
before halting for passengers in order
to clear the way for switching cars

But not only this. A great many ef-
