slow work. About two years ago q
trial was made Of admitting only
southbound traffic to 10th between r
and the Avenue. The decision to do
this was published In the newspapers
and given all possible publicity. A
policeman was stationed at 10Th and d
to turn hack northbound trafic. His
was a busy job. 1t seemed that most
drivers in Washington wanted to 60
north on 10th street. The south
bound traffic was not especially heavy,
but the traffic wanting to 80 the

time-perhaps 1t was n week or two
weeks-10th street again became a
two-way street. but UP to the last
hour police We're busy turning back
drivers who had not read. or who had

to educate the public in matter OF

many blockades before the lesson is

Wrapped Bread.

Leaves of bread that have not been
wrapped in paper before leaving the
lakeries have come under investiga-
lion by the District food inspection
service. and it may be that the health
department will recommend to the
Commissioners that there be regula-
lion that all bread shall be 80 wrapped.
It. is already the custom OF some
bakeries to wrap their bread, and
many consumers will not buy bread
not so protected. 1t Is an official
statement that two-thirds OF the bread
made by the large bakeries for dis
rribution in the District Is now
wrapped. 1t would seem that the eat
.ng of unwrapped bread that has been
handled by truck and wagon drivers
and others is not to be recommended.
Bare hands OF men carrying on their
daily work are not surgicaily clean
and may be very dirty. There must
always be a possibility Of contaminA-
ton. We have generally become par
ticular about cleanliness, and the
more enlightened Of our people are
most particular. There il no reason
in taking unnecessary risks. There
has been a great change In such mat
tiers within a few years, and the lead
in bringing about this change was
taken by physicians. Bacteriolegy
mas proved many things. It was not
easy to educate the people against
eating unscreened food on public
stands, against the common drinking
cup, against flies and mosquitoes,
against public splitting and promiscu-
Gus kissing. and education is still pro-
ceeding along such lines. The fact
that bakers are wrapping most Of the
bread they distribute shows that they
consider it desirable, or that a large
part of the public demands It.

No Girl War Bitterness.

The President. homeward bound,
stops at the Old and proud city Of
Augusta to talk to it's people and
through them to all the millions of
America on big questions Of domestic
politics and our relations with other
nations. In the course Of his speech
he makes little sta,ement-a plain
little statement Of fact-"There is no
sectiopalism of the civil war left In
the United States" 1t ought not to
be necessary to make this statement,
but it seems that there are people
living far from the old battlefields Of
the south and reading books written
many years ago, who believe that the
people Of the south are still talking
Of the civil war in bitter terms. This
is nome nse. There are many persons
in the south. as in the north, who
cherish the memory Of actors in that
mighty struggle. They pay honors
to the few survivors and probably
those honors are not substantial
enough They sometimes celebrate
Now aid then they dedicate a monu-
ment on a battlefield. People Of the
north as well as Of the south do
these things. They do not indicate

One.WaY Streets.

The question of one-way streets is
already before the board Of Commits
stoners, or soon will be. 1t having
been said a few days ago that Com
missioner Oyster would probably
recommend to the board that 10th,
18th, 18th and 18th streets within the
congested area be established as one
way streets, two for northbound traf-
fic and two for southbound traffic. It
has also been suggested that jackson
place, on the west side OF Lafayette
Square, shall be for southbound traffic,
and Madison place. on the east side Of
the square. for northbound traffic. The
Commissioner and Inspector Headley

pedestrians and motorists II three or
four OF the main downtown thorough

can candidate for governor Of
the state Of New York. This is the slate
OF the empire state, and it all fits into
the interesting plan that young Col.
Roosevelt shall continue to follow in
the footsteps Of his illustrious father.
Col. Roosevelt has had his experience
in q great war. True, It was not
such a privately conducted war as
the one in and around San Juan Hill,
but in It the young T. r. won his
spurs in the famous list Division.
Now he has served as assistant sec

The governorship Of New York comes
next.
Already there has been some talk
Of Col. Roosevelt for the vice presi
dency. but obviously the governor
ship Of his state is to be preferred
at the present time. One wonders II
after his fathers experience the
younger Roosevelt would make the
same stubborn fight as his forebear
against accepting second place on the
national ticket? Probably not. but
there will be no chance OF his enter
1 les. the national arena at least until
In 1924 he is TO be the central figure
In his state campaign. Some Of the
old leaders in the New York CT. O. p.
are not any TOO enthusiastic over
young Roosevelt That was also true

his father, so IN this case history is
but repe ting itself in striking
fashion.
But the leaders OF the G. o. P,
crushed by the democratic landslide
which placed Al Smith in Albany for
second term. realize that they must
make strong bid for votes next
year or once more lose the state to
the democracy. They have come to

TO play up young Roosevelt and
