AUTOS ARE. BLAMED
FOR DELAY TO CARS
G. G. Hill Says They Kept
Tracks Blocked During
Recent Storm.

While the remnants of the storm of
nearly a week ago are still unpleas-
antly prominent. George G. Hill.
Union Trust building. makes the
claim that in situations like that OF
last Friday and Saturday automobiles
are responsible for the paralysis of
street car service.
There is no doubt in the minds of
competent observers" says Mr.. Hill,
that, unusual as was the recent
storm and inadequate as are the
with it's effects, they could have kept
their lines open and maintained a
fairly regular service had it been
possible to keep motor vehicles of
the tracks.
Never before has Washington had
to contend with really severe snow
storm since the use Of motors has be-
come so prevalent. With perhaps one
car to every ten inhabitants and with
every car owner using that vehicle
to avoid Indictment weather, the prob
lem confronting the traction COM
ranies was different from any with
which they hitherto had had to deal.
Turned Into Tracks.
NO sooner would snow pillow pass
over the tracks than a number of au-
tomobiles. seeking. naturally, the best
place to travel. would turn into the
newly swept track. In so doing two
considerable burrows of snow would
be plowed onto the track.
FOLLOWING motor cars would lamp
down the snow until all sign Of the
track f1anges would be obliterated and
the first street car coming along
would shoot off the tracks. often with
a broken pillow and consequent ex-
tended delay"
80 thoroughly did heavy motor
cars pack the snow" Mr.. Hill ex-
plains. that the succeeding snow
pillow was able to remove only a part
of it, and eventually the task of keep
ing tracks open proved impossible"
Members of street car crews have
corroborated Mr.. Hills contention
that this is the cause of the trouble,
it may be added.

of this storm. confronts the District

running on the car tracks," Mr.. Hill
continued. unpopular as such a pro-
hibition would be. once the general
public realizes that it was the motor
cars which played such a large part
in depriving of all street car service
the 30 per cent of the citizens to whom
motors are not available there will
probably be an insistent demand for
such a regulation and for its drastic
enforcement"
Other citizens. including drivers of
automobiles. freely admit if motors
were compelled to keep to their usual
paths it might be a little hard on the
first one or two to pass, but that sue
ceeding cars would soon wear ruts
along which automobiles could pass
with almost as great ease and con-
siderably more speed than If they
stuck to the car tracks. In a brief
time a street would possess three in
stead of one channel of traffic. 1t is
while the snow is new and soft. no
matter how thick it may be. that it
can easily be packed down into broad
solid ruts by either automobile tires
or the feet of pedestrians.

Capt. William E. Luckett, chairman

Indians Took Part
 Peleg would nonchalantly wander over to the fireplace and throw hand full of gunpowder into 1t and the In- dian would make a dash for the creek near by, angrily pursued by his burn ing breechclout.
 Peleg would return to the feast and say, "For what we are about to receive let us be truly thankful" Andhe received it quickly. A noble redman poked his arm through the window and firmly nicked Peleg on the bean with tom myhawk. Being a hard-headed Puri- tan, Peleg would go on with his din- ner after throwing the tommyhawk back over his shoulder and catching Mir. Shinnecock just below the Adams apple.
 The afternoon was given over to meditation and reflection.

 And instead of spending the after noon in meditation and prayer, as Peleg did, his great-great-great-great- great-Grandson sits In grandstand with 15000 other heretics and they yell: #M

an interested part in the Suffrage movement and the ladies having se- cured the right to vote, ~she was right in line with a few others who knew what to do with the ballot when they first got it. More of them are learning something of the game of politics every day. Merely to prove it, we'll mention that a woman has been appointed to a seat in the Uni ted States Senate and another in Indiana was arrested the other day for repeating" They're learning the tricks of some male voters, you see.
 When women demanded recog- milton in the make up of political organizations, they got it. Several in this State now are members of Town Committees, several have been candidates for town and muni- cipal offices, but none has been nom mated for State office by either of the major political parties in Conn ecticut.
 Miss Considine, two years ago, was chosen to be a member kof the Republican Town Committee of North Canaan. She was the first woman in Litchfield County to be honored by her fellow citizens in this way. She displayed her talent for organization and when, by force of political circumstances, there was a vacancy on the State Central Com mittee in the 31st District, Miss Gen. sidine was chosen to this inner circle of the State Republican organiza- tion.
 We, too, are proud that the wom- an enjoying this distinction is a mem bsr cf the telephone family" not because she is a leader of any par ticular brand of politics, but simply because she upholds the traditions of the family by being a leader in the movement she entered.
 Probably there are as many kinds of politics scattered throvghout the ephone company as can be found ir any organization of sr nilar num- !,ers. We know lot of Democrats and Repu5l cans in the fl' ,ilyI end we, doubtless, have those of other political beliefs.
 But scattered as the telephone vote generally is, we would be willing to make any sort of freak political wager that if Miss Considine ever runs for office on any ticket she will get a good vote from telephone people.

 Miss Considine is a good Exchange Manager, business-like and friendly with her constituents, meaning sub scribers, and there is no good req son that we know of why she should n't hold down the State Treasurer's job or the Governorship for that matter. No good reason whatever, except that the political parties have n't arrived at the point of advanced thought required to nominate wom- an for Governor.

OF YE OLD TIME
Humorous Description of Thanks
 giving Celebration
Some Difference Between the obserV- ance of the Day Then and the
 Festivities of Today.

From picking the stufing out of a wild turkey to kicking the stuffing out of a wild football player, Thanksgiving day observance has undergone n de- cided, change, even within the ken of the present writer, who, at that, is quite old enough to gain a permanent home among the mummies at the Me tropolitan Museum of Art, Roy K. Moulton writes in the New York Eve ming Mall. There were days away back in Puritan times when people had a lot to be thankful for and enough sense to be thankful for 1t. It is still true that portion of our great metro politan population find time to render thanks in the old-fashioned style, but the rah-rah Thanksgiving has been with us some twenty years now, and 1t seems to be gaining momentum.
 In the old days they used to leave platter strewn with the bones of wild turkey, and now 1t is the general GUS tom to leave the gridiron strewn with arms, legs, ears and other more or less important impedlmenta.
 The history of Thanksgiving day used to be set down by the church clerk, and now 1t Is set down in jazz by the sporting writer, all of which goes to show that civilization Is nov ing, though we can't always decide which way.
 Ye oIde lyme Thanksgiving.
 Know ye all men by thefe prefentf:
 "That I, Makepeace Wharburton, governor do nominate Thurfday, ye twenty-fixth of November, to be a day of thanksgiving and a day of pray CT in remembrance of the great bleff- ings we have received during the paft year All and fundry of the popula- tion are ordered to attend fervice and profoundly render thankf for peace and profperity or pay penalty on the pillory, the ducking ftool or the ftocks. "MAKEPEACE INTERRUPTION, Governor"
 Those were the days of real Thanks givings. Peleg Prouty did not'have to go to a butcher shop and barter his soul, his house and lot and his Ford for a turkey. He kissed his wife, Pru- dence, and the kids good-by for maybe the last time,> and set forth for wild turkey He carried over his shoulder an S5-pound blunderbuss with n sprin- kler attachment on the muzzle which would scatter shot over a fair sized township and would kick Peleg for n goal when 1t went oft. If the Indians got a bead on him first 1t was good night turkey, and If he got n bead on them first the sprinkler attachment en- abled him to put the raspberry on eight or ten of them at once.
 If Peleg got home all right with the wild turkey they had Thanksgiving. If he didn't they had funeral.
 The family would go to church In l the morning and arrive there with sev- eral arrows sticking through their i clothes and hats. and after good old 4 Elder Hudnutt had preached for four hours and a half and finally stopped, the congregation had something to be thankful for.
 When the feast was ready, Peleg, his wife, Prudence, and the children, Steadfast, Charity, Prosper, Faith, Cromwell and Whetstone, seated them selves about the table, the room would suddenly fill with smoke for the reason that there would be an Indian sitting on the chimney top trying to smoke
