Arlington City.

The bill to incorporate Arlington
county as the City of Arlington is be-
fore the Virginia legislature. So far

ernment to the people Of Clarendon,

it would seem that the points made in
opposition to the plan to grant q city
charter to the county are satisfac-
torily answered by the incorporation
committee Of the Arlington County
Civic Federation, which is the organ
lied force behind the city government
plan.
It is reported from Richmond that
one point raised by those who do not
favor the bill is that the change from
county to city might deprive the peo-
pie In that territory Of representa-
tive in the legislature. The advocates
Of the plan answer that the bill pro-
vides that the legislative districts shall
remain the same, and that Arlington
City would have the same representa-
ton in the legislature as it has as a
county. It is also set forth In opposi-
ton to the change that 1t might be
contrary to the desire Of majority
Of the people Of the county. The bill
provides that the will Of the majority
shall be ascertained. It contains a pro-
vision that the charter of the city shall
not become effective until approved by
a majority of the people who are to
live under it. The advocates Of the
change from county to city govern
rnent seem to have been thoroughly
over the ground, to understand their
case and to be familiar with all the
points to be made against it. This is
natural, for the whole case has been
under discussion throughout Airing
ton county for several months, and it
is probable that no point for or against
the change has been overlooked. 1t
may be that the bill will not get
through the legislature at its present
session, but the city advocates in Ar
lington county promise to keep the
question at the front until it is settled,
and they say that it will never be set
ted until it is settled right, and their
idea Of right is that Arlington county
shall become the City Of Arlington.

The Cardinal.

Among the advance notes of spring
is that Of the cardinal, and his loud,
clear whistle and varied song may be
heard not only in some Of the parks
and suburbs, but in old settled sections
of the city. Not as numerous as birds
of many other species, he is conspicu-
GUS because Of his plunage and voice.
Because Of the protection that the law
has thrown about him and the greater
popular appreciation of birds dis num-
bers are increasing. A few years ago
the cardinal had become rare. The
bird cannot now be classed as COM
mon, but 1t is permissible to set it
down that fl is frequent" The car>

Some people have been amazed re-
Gently by the discovery that some
senator's and representatives "haye
their price"-that when they are
asked to make speeches before some
organization they expect to be
paid for it. That's all quito true
and has been the practice for many
years. There are two reasons for II:
% Self-defense, because prominent
members of Congress and men in
public life generally are SO besieged
with calls upon them to make
speeches here, there and everywhere
that they could not possibly find
time to do 1t. If they accept some
and refuse others it causes hard
feelings, and so they resorted to "a
price; (2) self-support, because they
cannot support homes in their dis
, tricts and in the National Capital and
meet all demands upon their finances
from their salaries of $500 81 year,
SO that they have found that by set
ting a price on their speeches they
are better able to make both ends
meet

Clark, Senator-elect s. D. Fess and

this should be borne in mind-when

at q time and place which will not

TO SHOW FAMOUS PICTURE
"Birth Of 4 Nation" Billed For
 Christmas At Masonic Auditorium

David w. Griffith's epoch-making spectacle, "The Birth of Nation,' United Artists release, following its record breaking return to New York, will be seen in one of it's original productions at the Masinic Temple with a children's matinee Christmas morning.
 This work from the nature of the new art it established has excited keener curiosity than any other of fering of a decade and after being away for several years it was re- gently presented for special en- gagement at the enormous Capitol theatre and played to over 150,000 people in two weeks.
 "The Birth of -Iatlon" tells by film and music the story of a na- ton reborn through the storm and stress of internecine strife. Instead of the four to six scenes of the con- ventional plays, it's technique permits of filming literally thousands of scenes and covering a wide range of history and characters. Slavery, the primal cause of the war: Lincolns S call for troops to subdue the southern states; tile ball on the eve of Bull Run, and the first triumph of Con federate arms; the devastation wrought by Sherman's march and the awful ordeal of the Siege at Peters, burg; Lees surrender to Grant tt AppomattoX, the assassination of the great President; the harsh radical policy toward the stricken south : the uprising of the Ku KluX Klan and the overthrow of the carpet bag ger regime-these great factors and events pass in review before the thrilled spectator.

NEW STATIONS ADDED TO 'GO-ZIPS' STRING
Company Now Has Ten In Opera
 ton In Birmingham

Loyeman, Joseph & Boeb has es- fablished a 'Go-Zip" filling station on its new parking grounds on Seventh Savenue. between Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets, north, according to announcement Saturday. The "Go- Zip filling station has been installed for the convenience of shoppers who are using the new parking grounds more and more extensively.
 A Dodge sedan, operated by Love man, Joseph & Loeb between the parking grounds and the big depart sment store, as well as all trucks and other motor vehicles in the service of this store, will use "Go-Zip" exclu- sively in the future, it is stated. This decision was reached by the parative tests, which are said to have developed that "Go-Zip" is yielding a superior mileage and enables driv- CTS to start quickly and certainly. in the coldest weather.
 In addition to the Loveman, Jo- seph & Loeb "Go-zip" filling station, the "Go-Zip" company has added two others this week at Third ave- nue and Seventeenth street, and Avenue G and Twenty-fourth street. making ten stations now in use. Others will be added just as rapidly as sites can be obtained, it is stated.
 Following series of comparative 
 eral weeks in which a careful check was made on mileage, ( lick starting anu slnoothness of operation, 'Go- Zip" has been officially ado-ted as the exclusive motor fuel for the taxi-cabs of the Birmingham Taxi cab company, according to announce ment of J. B. We&b, secretary-treas- urer.
 The Birmingham Taxi-Cab com pany has been in business tor the past 10 years and operate large fleet of Cadillac cars. In order that motorists may avail themselves of the qualities of "Go-Zip," demon strated to the birmingham Taxi Cab company, in the recent tests, an offer is being made by the company to adjust and cut down the carbure- tors for any motorists who wish to try the new motor fuel for them selves.
 "The results of our test were sur prising to us," said MT. Webb Satur- day "as much as we have heard and read about the new motor fuel. l do not hesitate to say that the claims put forward for it, were exceeded by the showing made when the carbure- tors were properly adjusted and the new motor fuel was poured into the tanks of our taxi-cabs. The starting powers of the new gas are tre- mendous, and the running quality of the car, the smoothness and even level of it's progress, were greatly facilitated and improved. We are glad to help the public share in the benefits of this new gasoline ben zol blend, which are really revolu- tionary."
