STREET CARS AND AUTOS

There has been so much talk about
clearing the streets in the big cities
Of street car tracks and leaving
transportation to the motor bus that
the Boston Chamber of Commerce
went out and got together some data
for consideration.
Included in this was a count taken
VIII re Beacon street crosses Com
monwealth avenue over a period In
the day. during which $3.50 motor
vehicles with an average of II pas
sengers In each car passed.
AT the same time, according to the
figures of the Boston Elevated Rail-
way, some 300 street cars passed
through this square, carrying 10000
passengers, or an average of about
, 80 per car. This would indicate thai
to carry the total number of passen-
gers by this point would increase the
number Of automobiles to approx
mately 100000. or nearly double. In
making this estimate. however, /,
should be borne in mind that practi-
cally 80 per cent of the passengers
carried In street cars are Transported
by this point between the hours of 5
and in the morning and and 6 in
the afternoon. whereas the automo-
biles are fairly we'll distributed
throughout the day, with some slight
increase morning and night"

WILL NOT GIVE UP WRANGLiNo

Wrangling appears to be little dis
pleasing to Chilli and Peru. as 1t Is
said they are not inclined to hold that
plebiscite to determine the settle
ment over the Tacna-Arica area, OF
agree on any other plan.
They have been rowing over this
for 43 years, so perhaps the habit is
fixed. Anyhow, from what is gener-
ally learned they are unwilling tc
make any serious effort to bring it to
an end
They have been making treaties
holding gabfests, backing and filing
occasionally rioting since 1888. Re-
Gently Uncle Sam being so credulous
as to suppose they really wished to
have peaceful settlement sent Gen.
eral Pershing down there to arrange
for the plebiscite.
The habit of disagreeing appears
to have become firmly fastened on
Peru and Chill. The months have
passed. First one would sull1 and
then the other. and when any ar
rangement other than a plebiscite
such as giving Bolivia a corridor
to the sea by way of this disputed
territory was proposed, they yet
stood with locked horns, If the re-
ports be correct.

THE WHITE HOUSE

II Is said the Duke of Leinster's
mansion in England. on which
structure our White House was
modelled, is yet In good condition
whereas the Presidents official resi-
dence is in bad shape and $4,000
has been asked to make it safely
habitable.
1t should be kept in condition for
the needs to which its use is as
signed; there should be no hesitancy
about having this done. On the
other hand 1t is permissible to sus-
pect that in the past the repairs to
the White House have not been
wisely made. otherwise why so many
OF them and so frequent?
This building Is historic in its as
sociat!oas is in architecture credit
able to the country. and should
never be permitted to fall into dis
repair. John Adams was the first
PRESIDENT to occupy It; the British
undoubtedly enjoyed the burning of
1t in 1914. 1t was rebuilt, later
executive offices attached to 1t
and there probably isn't a school
boy In the land. who doesn't carry In
his mind q picture of the White
House.

KEEP IT GOING

President Lawrence of the New
England Council declares that the
turn has come in New England's
affairs. This Notwithstanding the
bald facts are that New England
has to import her cotton, wool, leath-
er, coal and most of her food. In
order to pay for these imports, New
England must produce and market
goods and service outside of New
England. The 100000 New Eng
land people must realize that because
of their location away from the
basic raw materials and our long
winters and snow that needs SHOW
cling they are required to work
harder and more intelligently than
those of other sections. Our invig-
Grating climate, on the other hand,
permits of greater energy expendi-
ture and greater accomplishment"
He finds better conditions in
transportation, in merchandising, in
banking, in community organization
and throughout New England a new
spirit of getting together. SO much
for a good start. It's now up to US
to keep it going.

A FEW THOUGHTS ON FLAG DAY

Ours conceded to be the most beau
tiful flag that waves. How came 1t
ours? We did not design 1t, neither
could 1t have come by chance, though
there be those, who would have us
suppose the blue Of the sky, the stars
in the armament. the color Of the
falling snow fake. the crimson OF
blood, just happened.
A Joyous emblem Is our flag. II
ripples in triumph over sacrifice; ii
signifies that consecrated service Is
not in vain; 1t CLEANS in the sun
shine after the storm. above the
clouds OF doubt, of intrigue, Of trea-
SON. Inspiration designed it, throbbed
in the hearts of courage that have
held 1t aloft, quickened the vision OF
those who read Alright its message
and now. in turn. it gives bac'- en-
erous measure of inspiration to cher
ish, and be worthy Of that for which
1t is the emblem.
Today is Flag Day. Have we nc
obligations respecting It? Shall we
give no moment Of thought to those
whose dying eyes were blessed by the
sight Of 1t upheld, Of those who have
given all that it might be the emblem
OF free people. people consecrated
to freedom, people who should in.
sist that wrong and oppression NIGH
never find refuge under it's folds?
A few moments, few thoughts
surely these are not too much to give
when so much of inspiration is to be
had in return.
