Better lighting for the streets is the

power. whereas, with few exceptions,
the candlepower Of the electric street
lamps is now 100 On two streets
18th and 18th between X and Massa-
chusetts avenue-old-fashio gas
lamps have been replaced with incan.
descent electric lamps Of $50 candle
power, and the illumination is much
more effective than on those streets
which are lighted. or rather which are
not lighted, by the 100-candlepower
lamps. The promise is that high
power bulbs will be installed on all
new electric light posts, and that the
250-candlepower lamp will be the
standard of the future. The hope is
that great many new electric light
posts will be set up, and there is an
other hope that even on the old posts
for those that are old and feeble. The
dim-lighted residence streets of Wash.
ington have been a subject of criticism
for a long time. Many accidents have
probably been due to this ineffective
lighting, and there is no doubt that
much Inconvenience has been caused
by it. That many of the streets were
poorly lighted has been as we'll known
at the District building as to any mo-
torist or pedestrian, but there are limi
tations upon governors commissioners
and other subrulers under our form OF
government. They cannot spend money
that the ruling authority has not al
lowed them. They have probably given
the city as much light in the streets as
the funds for lighting would allow. But
it is pleasing to note that better day
and brighter night are in prospect
A raise in candlepower from 100 to
$50 ought to lift some of the gloom
from the streets at night.

Gospel Mission Campaign.

The Embarrassing campaign of the

funds is to meet some outstanding
debts. acquire an adjoining building
to relieve congestion in the Chinese
department and to bring the institu-
tion upon business basis. This mis-
sion has recently added to its activi-
ties an employment bureau and d col

for mission service among colored
people. The white ticket" plan re-
Gently put into operation has proved
d success in relieving persons from the
opportunities of "panhandlers' and in
keeping those professional beggarS
from getting aims needed by persons

ing and bath at the mission, were dis
tributed among responsible citizens to
be handed to mendicantS on the street.
The mission has a way of distinguish

mission runs a restaurant where meals
are served at the smallest possible

and free to those who cannot pay.
There are dormitories for men, free
baths. a day nursery conducted in

Cites Reasons Against
High Rents for Clerks

To the Editor of The Star:
Reading the article published in The
Star of March YelatinS to the in
creased rates to be charged the wom-
an guests of the government hotels,
it occurs to me that others who read
1t would be inclined to think that the
girls employed by Uncle Sam, and
living in the hotels, indulge in orgies
of theaterS, shampoos. expensive
clothes and the last word of educa-
ton: in fact. that their entire salary
is cheerfully spent for the privilege
of living in the hotels and securing
maximum of the above incidentals.
AS matter Of fact. it is safe to say
that 9S per cent of these same girls
have burdens the enormity and i'm
portance of which are never known to
the outside world. For instance, there
are many who are taking care of "the
little old lady back home" whose very
existence depends on the semi-m onth-
ly remittances. Them again, there is
the girl who is educating q. brother
or sister and the self-sacrificing wom-
to become better men and women and
citizens of the United States out OF
the salary which she earns as an en-
ploye of Uncle Sam.
Can it be said of these girls that
their money is distributed freely for
the pleasures of life. and that they
will cheerfully consent to pay this
extra charge when it means SO much
to some one dependent upon them?
HARRIET l.. VAN LONE.
