ing. as 1t is called. but is simply a
state of mind.
Consistency. evidently, is a jewel
many persons do not possess.
One need not keep a card index. of
course, Of ones ideas, for fear he
might inadvertently contradict him
self. but certainly to blow hot and cold
with the same mental breath is some
thing of feat.
This is the intellectual basis, how.
ever, for all the "differency" one may
encounter. The man who seeks to be
different. whether mentally or phys
ically, or psyehically, lacks consist
ency, always q good thing, despite
the structures Of Mr.. Emerson, who
spoke only Of a particular case, while
advocating self-reliance. In another
situation he would have advised the
exact opposite, as then better suited
his argument.
The proper way to treat the diff
ferent man or woman Is to smile in
wardly at them.
The inward smile. by the way, is the
greatest life-saver in the world. II
saves the day for many an otherwise
unhappy man or woman, or one ir.
curious, whirling world.
The outward smile is one thing, the
inward another, and often the, better.
The smile that is concealed hurts nc
one, but allows the smiler to pass over
without further attention quips and
jests and remarks Of all sorts that pre-
sumablY might, but for the smile,
bring forth the retort discourteous.
Surely anything that achieves this
result Is good thing, even If it does
smack lightly of a pleasant hypocrisy.
X X X X
To smile inwardly, not outwardly, is
the kind way of treating others. 1t
relieves stress and strain, and allows
the other party to go his way in q
happy state of mind.
Why should one be eager to correct
others?
This prerogative of the parent, and
the school teacher, Is not necessarily
passed on to every one.
wisdom Is the gray hair unto men,
and an unspotted life is old age" said
Solomon.
Most of us, perhaps, do spring for.
ward too eagerly to the pleasant duties
OF correction. Is it possible that this
zeal on our part is brought about by
the perfectly human desire to trans.
Ter attention from ourselves to others,
lest others find in us the errors we
SO generously discover in them?
This Is the secret malady Of the
always different person, the young
man whose possessions evidently do
not respond to the same tendencies
toward deterioration as ones own,
whose ideas are always at variance,
whose experience has always been di-
rectly opposite to ones own.
Let us not take him too seriously.
After we find him out, let us treat
him with the healing grain Of salt.
Let us smile away his pleasant alb
surdities, and even indulge him III
them. If we can thus enhance his own
self-esteem, and afford ourselves a Bit
more innocent amusement at the same
time.
This is legitimate method of doing
good in the method prescribed, Let
not thy right hand know what thy
left hand dOeth."

Buildings on Judiciary Square.


Consideration is to be given at a
conference December 2 between the
Commission Of Fine Arts and com
mittee Of judges to the question of
the emplacement Of the proposed new
Police Court building and also that Of
the urgently needed home for the re'
corder of deeds. Suggestion has been
made that the recorders office be in
corporated in the Police Court struc-
ture and that the building be located
on the eastern side of Judiciary
Square, balancing the Appeals Court
house which stands on the western
side.
This is a new plan. Heretofore
there has been in contemplation the
erection Of separate structures. 1t
has been urged that the sides Of Ju-
dietary Square be occupied for court
uses. A few months ago it was pro-
posed to place the new Police Court
north Of the Appeals Court house on
the western flank Of the park, leav-
ing the recorders Office for future To-
cation elsewhere. At the same time
it was indicated that the eastern side
of the square should be reserved for
a home for the Juvenile Court, which
is sadly in need Of permanent, ade-
Quate quarters.
Against the combination of the re-
corder's office with any court there is
the decided objection that one or the
other becomes a Subordinate tenant" "
. Inasmuch as a building designed for
court uses must be specially designed
for such purpose, it follows that the
recorders office would be the Sub
ordinate" occupying surplus space at
first and gradually losing ground as
the courts needs expand. 1t was
thus in the earlier years. when the
recorders office was in the main
courthouse, being eventually crowded
out into rented and wholly inadequate
quarters.
There should be no combination of
tenants in any public structure. Let
tn6 IOllC9 court Ue III one mousse anu
the recorders office in another. Both
will grow as the years pass. 1t will
he difficult to accommodate them if
separated, and doubly difficult If they
are united in a single structure.
In the matter Of further building
emplacements on Judiciary Square it
is to be hoped that the progress will
be deliberate. Already there are three
structures on that reservation. One
Of them is now being handed about
from one department to another. 1t
is architecturally one of Washington s
worst examples of public construction.
Its demolition is not only cheerfully,
but eagerly, contemplated as a posi-.
BILE future happening. Utilization
of that space, when the new depart
mental housing now included in the
program of immediate constructions is
provided of a modern and artistically
designed building for either Police
Court or for a recorders office, would
be satisfactory solution of the pres
ent problem

Building the Bridge.

An announcement rs made that
after a slight delay, due to the fail
ure of some Of the needed material
to arrive, work is to be started anew
on the sinking Of the caissons for the
Arlington Memorial Bridge. This

face of the river. and then there will
begin to appear the tangible product
Of substantial construction and the
structure will begin to take shape.
It is Of vital Importance that this
underwater work should be done with
the utmost precision. Upon the piers
will rest the fabric Of the bridge,
which is to stand for all time. Ex-
perience has been had with question

case Of the Aqueduct Bridge, now

built the art Of underwater construc-

good work was done. according to the
standards Of the period. In the course
of time the swift current Of the river.
especially in freshet conditions,
eroded these piers. One of them espe.
cially suffered from the onset of the
stream. A hole was worn in the
masonry at the river bed and later.

Two-Way Passing.

Traffic Director Eldridge's comment,
At the recent Washington Board of
Trade meeting, on Sixteenth street
congestion due to slow moving, mid
dle-of the street drivers, has revived
discussion of the advisability of a reg
ulation permitting two-way passing
on Washington streets. 1t was more
than five years ago that The Star
suggested that an investigation be
made of twoway passing as used
In the cities of New York and Phil
adelphia to facilitate the movement of
traffic. The project was never Off.

ridge facing the problem of slow driv-
ing in the middle of the street it would
seem as If the time had arrived for
consideration of the plan that has
worked successfully for years in two
of the largest cities in the United
States.
Two-way passing is perfectly simple
It means that a car can be overtaken
and passed either on the right or the
left. All that is necessary for the fric.
tionless movement Of traffic is for the
motorist who is about to be passed to
drive in a straight line and not veer
to either side. Motorists in the two
cities which are cited as examples
have been trained to this type of
straight driving and there is little
&anger OF accidents from sudden
change Of direction.
II is far easier to school drivers to
look to both sides before they veer
from the straight line than 1t is to
compel them to drive on the right hand
side Of the street. Washington drivers
are not different in this respect from
the drivers of any other city. 1t seems
10 be q human failing to drive in the
middle Of the highway instead Of to
the right side of 1t. Two-way passing
relegatss this habit to unimportance,
because It does not make the slightest
difYerence whether the car to be over.

John Shelton Williams Wins
Praise f or Treasury Service

The recent death Of John Shelton
Williams, Controller of the Currency
in the Wilson administrations: revived
memories of the controversies Setween
the Government and affected financial
interests during the early days Of the
Federal Reserve act. Mr.. WilnamS, as
the most active member of a commit
tee of three charged with putting the
new law in operation, bore tie brunt
of the inevitable clashes.
Williams always fought straight
from the shoulder; his enemies worked
too often from behind his bas;k,' as
serts the Hartford Times. fFederal
regulation to the degree that 1--WE now
know it in the banking business was
new then. Local susceptibilitSas have
become more calloused since, and 1t Is
better appreciated that a stronger
hand of governmental superintendence
was needed. If Mr.. Williams could
have come into his former sunction
now instead of in 1914, with hfs duties
different, more clearly defirted and
fixed by precedent, he would fstve had
an easier time. 1t should noE be for
gotten that he was one with tro Cabi'
net Secretaries who established the
working origin Of the Federal Reserve
Bank and currency system, ard bene-
ficially So" !
The Norfolk Ledger-Dispatth thus
ak etches his career: "Mr. Williams

either side.
With such a regulation in force in
Washington. It would avoid the skirt
ing. generally on the wrong side of
the street, Of long line Of vehicles;
would utilize every available foot of
the roadway; would promote straight
steering of automobiles. and would
result in a freer movement Of trafiic
than ever before in the National
Capital.
With these facts in mind, 1t ap-
pears that Washington could well
benefit from the traffic experiences Of
larger cities and install within its
own limits a regulation that has DEM
onstrated it's value. The time has GER
tainly arrived to consider the matter
in all it's phases. with a view to ulti'
mate realization OF the aid to travel

Merger by Penalty.

Heretofore it has been CONSIDERED
that there were only two modes OF
effecting merger of the traction COM
panies and their lines and operations,
by voluntary action of the companies
and by the involuntary action COM
PEELED by act Of Congress. 1t Is now
proposed to add what may be re.
garded as a third mode, that Of "in-
duced" voluntary merger. A bill is
in preparation at the District Build
ing to hasten a merger through an
increase Of the taxes imposed upon
the companies, effective 80 long as
they remain separate and RENTED
when they arrange a union on terms
that are satisfactory to the utilities
commission.
This would in effect be a tax upon
separate existence. Whether it would
stand the test Of court review is a
question. If the companies are dis
posed to merge upon terms suitable
from the public viewpoint they would
avoid such a tax increase. II not so
disposed they might challenge the
legality of tax imposed as a penalty
for not doing that which the law
does not specifically command and re.
quire. The judgment of the court on
such a point is not to be foreseen.
Merger of the two traction COM
panies is highly desirable for the pub.
lie convenience. 1t Is, however, de-
sirable only If, through merger, the
public is assured Of a high grade Of
service without increase of fares-in.
deed, with, If possible, a lessening of
fares. Merger on the "cost basis" Of
fare fixing, If "cost" means valua-
tions at the companies figures, would
be a hardship upon the people, and
eventually a hardship upon the com.
panies, for they would lose public
patronage. Merger on the basis Of
overliberal valuations Of stock hold.
ings and properties, effecting a
swollen capitalization Of the united
assets, would be undesirable and
eventually harmful to both public
and companies.
An induced" merger, through the
imposition Of what would be virtually
penalty taxes devised to hasten action,
would have to be- upon precisely the
same equitable basis as any other
sort Of union. Whether the com.
panies get together on their own
initiative. or are required to do SO by
act Of Congress-, or are induced to do
so to avoid penalties for remaining
separate, they must combine as one
business on such financial terms that
the public will get the benefit Of the
economy Of united management and
operation and the equalization Of the
conditions affecting the system, now
subjected to a differential that causes
a rate Of fare higher than one actually
requires in order to yield reason
able return Of profit to the other.
Merger by one Of these three
processes is practically assured. When
and by what mode Of procedure re-
mains the question, perhaps soon to
be answered.
