been splendid addresses from men familiar with
every detail OF the business of serving food to
human beings Everywhere desire has been APP
parent to find means Of cooperating with the
public. The members should return to their home
communities with some splendid ideals with which
to guide their business during the coming fall and
winter.
The most stressed idea seems to have been to
make the restaurant more like home To no
small part of the populace it is home The aver
age man or woman spends at least an hour day
at the table. During that hour good deal OF the
days thinking is done. During that, hour plans for
the days work are formed. During that hour one
dreams. of the future and reflects upon the past
1t is important indeed whether that hour be spent
in calm frame of mind rather than in misery and
discomfort.
Let the restaurant proprietors carry this
thought back from Washington with them Let
them preach it to other restaurant who were
not fortunate enough to be here Let them exert
their influence the proprietors of the cheaper
restaurants who often in position to exert
the greatest influence on the affairs of the COM
munities.
The town government may be rotten. He can
improve it by feeding the town officials better.
The morals of the community may have gone to
the dogs. He bring them back by elevating
the tone OF his kitchen He is the direct, personal
representative Of fate in its dealing with mortals.

The Wrons Cure and the Right One.

~ EVOLUTIONARY changes in the traffic
TX regulations of downtown Washington may
be advisable. We hesitate. however, to ap
prove of the Recommendations of the District Fed
Grafton OF Women's Clubs until the problem has
been subjected to searching analysis. To change
OF the busiest streets into one-way thorough
fares would result in considerable disruption of
business routine and this might overbalance the
possible advantages.
Traffic regulation in all American cities offers
greater difficulties from year to year. As the popu
lace grows denser and automobiles more numerous
the simple rules which proved effective
longer adequate. Eventually some sweeping
changes will be necessary-but are not con-
vinced that these will be in the nature of
onc-way streets. The plan advanced by the women
deserves careful consideration. We are aware that
it published until a great deal OF study
and thought had been given to the details. Any
suggestions along such lines from other civic
bodies, from the police department. or from busi-
will be welcome The constructive
thought OF the entire community is essential to
promulgate proper traffic rules.
- There is. however, decidedly incongruous e'e-
rrent in the plan proposed by the women's clubs
; It that the members make their proposal
primarily because of the growing danger to chill
dren roller skates-msny OF whom have been
injured recently. We aware of the danger
We believe that it never has been stated forcefully
enough We believe that it will grow greater be-
fore it diminshes But do consider it a

Red tape has been carried a ridiculous ex-
trernc indeed it the whole traffic system must be

Use the streets Fairgrounds Is it possible there
i==no way to keep them off the streets? Must we
consider the business thoroughfares Of Washington
designed primarily for roller skaters with auto
mobiles, horse-drawn vehicles and street cars given
secondary consideration? We invite the womens
clubs to consideration OF the problem of keeping
roller skaters of the streets rather than of making
the streets safe for roller skaters.
The practice will continue only a month or so
longer, at the most. We believe that the parents
OF Washington aroused and that the good birch
rod will be brought into use when parental
cdicts TO keep off the streets disobeyed.
Trafic conditions in Washington are bad
enough They nearly bad however. as
in the average city. The driver in Washington has

NEW YORK. Oct. 1s.-An able
