CAR SERVICE HIT
BY CITIZENS BODY
Survey of Cathedral Heights
Transportation Status
Will Be Made.

Transportation needs of the Wiscon
sin avenue section were stressed In
resolutions adopted by the Cathedral
Heights Citizens Association at a
meeting in St. Adams Parish Hall
Massachusetts, and Wisconsin avenues
last night.
The association has for a long time
been seeking to have the Washington
Railway and Electric Co. increase its
service to the District line, abolish the
1-cent transfer and the one-man cars
and maintain equipment in clean
and sanitary manner. a letter from
President Ham of the Washington
Railway and Electric Co. was read, In
which he stated that, because of f1nan-
cial reasons. it would be impossible to
create additional runs on the schedule
and that it was hoped to provide first
class, modern cars for the comfort and
convenience of patrons.
Mr. Ham maintained that the car
r1erS are clean and sanitary and. with
respect TO the doing away with the
l-cent transfer at Wisconsin avenue
and NJ street, declared that, in view of
the recent heavy expense incurred by
the company in moving it's tracks
from the side of the avenue to the
center it would be impossible to com
ply with the request.
Will Make Survey.
Hugh NJ. Frampton. president Of the
association, declared that the company
should be compelled to provide sufti-
cient facilities of a character inSuring
comfort and convenience to the com
munity or get out" The resolution
adopted on this subject directed that a
committee be appointed to make a sur
vey and gather data on the situation
before applying to the Public Utilities
Commission for public hearings The
Georgetown and Northwest Suburban
citizens associations will be invited
TO cooperate in this movement.
Gen. Eli A. Helmick, reporting on
the effort being made 10 have the
gasoline filling station on the south
west corner of Wisconsin and Mas
sachusetts avenues removed, said that
II the recommendation of the Fine
Arts Commission to create a gateway
to the city at this point is ever car
ried into effect this station hardly
could fit into any such plan and the
wishes of the association and officials
of the National Cathedral would be
realized.
President Frampton referred TO
promises made by former owners Of
the Washington Rapid Transit Co. to
extend its bus service in this COM
nunity with the consent of the Pub
tic Utilities Commission. and, citing
Dress reports accredited to the North
American Co. of New York, recent
purchasers of the bus lines here, in
which, it was said. they proposed to
extend the bus routes wherever pos
sible, resolutions were adopted in
structing the secretary to commune

COUGH IS YOUR

Persistent coughs and colds lead
to serious trouble. You can stop
them now with Circumcision, an
emulsified creosote that is pleasant
to take. Creomulsion is a new
medical discovery with two-fold
action: it soothes and heals the in
famed membranes and inhibits
germ growth.
OF all known drugs, creosote is
recognized by high medical author
tiles as one of the greatest healing
agencies for persistent coughs and
colds and other forms of throat
troubles. Creomulsion contains, in
addition to creosote, other healing
elements, which soothe and heal
the infected membranes and stop
the irritation and Inflammation,
while the creoSote goes on to the
stomach, is absorbed into the blood,
attacks the seat of the trouble and
checks the growth of the germs.
Creomulsion is guaranteed salts

Kentucky Pays High TO Keep Clean

One thousand armed men stood about in the
streets of Lexington, KY, the other day. They had
ugly looking tanks with them, field pieces, three
dozen machine guns. The city was a war foot
ing.
All Of this done to protect the life of one
poor ncgro--an added gentleman by the of
Harris who had slain three people and who, it was
feared, would surely be torn limb from limb by an
angry mob if he appeared outside his prison
cell.
But Harris had to be tried and the trial had To
be held at Lexington. So the shiverng colored
man was whiskcd to the courtroom from the Frank
fort prison, fifty miles away with far-szed army
standing about with loaded guns to to it that
he was not harmed.
The whole thing cost the state of Kentucky
$4,000.
That seems like rather high price, particularly
III ,iew Of the following: Harris, fifteen minutes
after h. Lad Uttered the courtroom, was sentenced
t. be hanged N March 5.
The state spent $4,000 to save his life only to
order his life forfeited one month later.
Was the expenditure justfied-or was it need
less waste? Why should officials go to such pains
t. safeguard the very man they will kill later?
In one way it wasn't worth it. Five weeks from,
Harris will be dead anyway. Viewed merely
from the angle Of the value of Harris life to the
s community, IL uOeS seem as LHOuSH |ZU,UUO were
a hrh price to pay for extra month.
there is another angle to it.
Kentucky wasn't really protecting the poor negro
that afternoon at Lexington. Kentucky was pro-
tecting herself-prctecting her good name her rep
utation for law-abiding decency and level-headed-
ness.
For while it doesn't matter greatly to anyone
whether Harris is killed now month from now
it does matter greatly that Kentucky prove he,
ability to uphold the orderly processes of law n.
matter what the occasion If the state and city
officials had stood Idly by and let Harris be ynchec
it would have been shameful thing - shameful
for the nation most shameful for Kentucky.
Kentucky met the challenge we'll. If it had cost
three times $4,000 to save Harris from the mob, il
still would have been worth it. For Kentucky ha.
proved that, cost what it may, orderly processes Of
law will be preserved and black citizens we'll as
white will be protected.

Taking the Right Course

President Coolidge is not going to be stampeded
into taking ever mines attempting by extreme
measures to- end the strike in the hard coal of
Pennsylvania. Governor Pinchot has sought to
settle the strike and failed. Surely every state
agency exists for operating the mines under gov
ernrnental supervision and there is necessity for
federal interference at this time. There are SD
many substitutes for hard coal now that any center
without adequate coal supplies is largely to blame.
If left alone to fight the matter out doubt the
miners and operators will find some basis Of settle
ment that will be permanent in nature. Every
time the controversy has been settled through gov
crnmental coercion, the resulting truce has been
only temporary and merely incubated another strike.
President Coolidge is adopting the proper course
in keeping cut of the controversy.

thing to turn up, but now had
reached the place where ! not only
had to make q decision. but, having
made it, would have to stand by it.
Of course, after tonight everything
was off between Chuck Becker and
me. A man does not feel like4paying
any attention to girl after she has
given him such smash in the face
as | had.
And, as for announcing his en-
gagement to me, am certain Charlie
never intended to marry me any more
than l had intended to marry him.
He was good pal when he had not
been drinking and !, having nothing
better to do this summer, have let
him play around with me, until last
night found out he thought he own
ed me.
And that brought me to the reso-
luton that had been forming in my
mind ever since I left. high school.
NO man will ever be able to say he
owns julia Dean, either legally or il
legally. No one is going to own me
but my own little self, whether /
marry or become an old maid.
l know that this "owning business"
was quite the thing in my mothers
time. remember hearing my moth
err say that the moment a girl fell
in love with man she wanted Ito
belong" to him.
That is all very well-for the man.
But | certainly do not want to "be-
long" to anybody. LIDO not want to
marry, either. Not for a long. long
time, at least. / expect l will have
to, some time, but ] want to be hap
py as long as can and have never
seen man and woman that have
been married over four years that
were particularly happy.
Mother and dad are always quar-
reling. Dad wants his word to be
law and mother fights against it be-
cause she knows he is wrong most of
the time with his old fas hioned snap
Judgment in regard to women.
Even mother gives in more than /
would. Consequently, if l happened
to marry man that thought as much
Of himself and his opinions as dad
does, we would be fighting all the
time.
But / don't want to give up the
company and good times I can have
with men. l want to dance. | want
to go out on automobile rides to
places where l can have a good din
ner. want the flattery and the
flowers--the attentions that 10 not
mean intentions-in short, being q
woman, want the companionship Of
the other sex.

The loss of Miss Perier is almost
