Musings for the Evening
SLANG OF THE BEACHES

Nobody knows what the wild waves
are saying, and it is rather difficult to
find what the bathers and dancers
along the edge of the big sink are talk
ing about. The shutters, fappers, cake
eaters and puddle jumpers who cruised
about in town all winter are now down
at the shore, and they have invented
a new slang. The beach dictionary
runs in part as follows:

his money.

prying into parties.
Life-guard: A chaperon.
Lifesaying station: A bootleggery.

There is a fascination for US ALL l believe, in words of big meaning

get this little word to come to IS in it's full meaning I remember it

when l used to ask my father if could "go down town" when ap-
piled for my first job and was told by the big mar that yes" the job

There is in the word YES an inspiratonal note. Will you help me,
will you be my friend? Will you trust me? VIII you share with me

Yes, it is a beautiful day. Yes, l am able to carry the thing
through. Yes, l will do my best. No matter where you connect this

But with this small word, as with others a s small or smaller

You must not say YES unless you mean it, unless you intend to
back it up and make it come up to its meaning.
For YES is a sort of Flagship in the Fleet of Decision that goes

Don't abuse this little word. Treat it fairly. Use it at the right

ARABIAN Amy and son of the King Of
Hedjaz made Col. Lawrence staff Of
ficer with his forces as an indication
of the respect he held for Col. Law
renee who was also treated as a sher-
if and given the rank OF Emir or
prince.
Col. L~awrence's influence in Arabia
is shown by the fact that he is credit.
ed with being the man who brought
about the revolt of the King of Hedjaz
against the Turks. He raised an army
of 100000 Arabs and within a short
time harassed the Turks to such an ex
tent that they set a fabulous price or
his head.
Col. Lawrence's career is all the
more remarkable because OF his com
parative youth. He is only 30 years
old. He has, however, devoted his
time to Arabian affairs since leaving
Oxford.

Utilities Commission Holds
Traction Company's Plea
Is Reasonable.

Objection to the plan Of the Capt.

tracks across the new Georgetown

Commission in a decision made pub
lie today.
AS announced in The Star last week,
the decision approves the company's
Application. The o. h. OF the Secre-
tary of War also must be obtained,
however, before the company can go
forward with the work.
Full Text of Reply.
Objection was raised at the hear
ing to the expenditure by the appl!-
cant of the sI50,o0O estimated to be
the cost of the proposed extension
of tracks, on the ground that there
is no immediate prospect OF a sufti-
cient increase in traffic to make the
extension reasonably compensatory
The commission is Of the opinion
that the improvements in the con-
gested traffic conditions existing in
the vicinity of 34th and NJ streets.

these tracks across the bridge. to-
gether with the added convenience
to passengers of the Capital Trac-
tion Company who desire to cross
the bridge. will alone justly the eX-
pense involved. Moreover. there is
every prospect of increased traffic
due to the improvement in transpor-
tation facilities. with a correspond
ing increase in the company's rev.
enues and in the tax paid to the Dis
trict of Columbia thereon.
'"hitQ tho n aNtapcipy,
pears to be relatively high, it rs due to
the requirement of the law above quoted
that the underground trolley system be
installed. Even if this were not the case.
the commission would not authorize the
installation of the cheaper overhead
trolley system. as it would not only in
volve the construction of a plow pit in
the roadway at the entrance to the
bridge. but would require the placing
of trolley poles on practically all of the
cars used on the company's Georgetown
division. Delays in the handling of cars
at the plow pit and Interruptions to
vehicular traffic would result from the
presence OF such a plow pit.
Request Held Reasonable.
THE commission is of the further
opinion that the additional charge of
one-half cent to all passengers crossing
the bridge in the Capital Traction Com
pany's cars is reasonably required to
meet the tax of an equal amount i'm
posed by the law for the transportation
of such passengers. If not collected
