lowed in the path of the first auto to
go through after the stone was
thrown there, for there were two
tracks which had cut through the
stone, pushed them to the side. and

Travelling along on the east side of
the tracks. the road continues to
show the effects of the heavy traffic by
the waving condition of the macadam
which provides just one series of
bumps. The rough condition of the
macadam makes the center trolley
poles in the roadway more dangerous
than under ordinary conditions, be-
cause the humping Of a car over the
ruts serves to throw an automobile

while The Stars observer was riding

afternoon.

On toward Mount Olivet cemetery
the condition continues, and is par
ticularly bad near the gutter edge Of
the roadway, and it becomes more
serious and dangerous avross the en-
tire roadway as the railroad viaduct
is reached near Langdon. AS the
road approaches the National Train
ing School for Boys, there is little
choice. for the motorist, for the road
between the trolley poles and the
federal property becomes very mar
row. However. at this point the road
surface is in a somewhat better con-
dition than at other parts.
After passing the federal reserva-
ton, the bumps are again encount-
cred, and continue to a point not far
from the District line, where the

standpoint. 1t is necessary. however,
for a motorist to take to it il he
wants to pass another car.
The bumpy condition encountered
on the east side is found on the west
side also down practically the entire
length of the road to 18th and H
streets. where it ends. Except for the
bad condition north of the entrance
at H street, there are no deep ruts in
the road, but the dangerous condi-
tion has been caused by the rolling
