CITIZENS DISCUSS
new CAR ROUTES
Public Utilities Commission
Holds Hearing on Proposed
w. R. & E. Co. Changes.

The proposed rerouting Of three
lines of the Washington Railway &
Electric Co. was considered by the
Public Utilities Commission at a
public hearing today in the District
Building. The changes, suggested by
Capt. r. c. Klotz. chief engineer of
the commission, involve the Brook
land. Eleventh street line, the LIE Droit
Park.Wharves line and the Central
High School-Anacostia line.
Under the klotZ plan cars operat-
ing from Brookland would terminate
at the wharves, running via G and
Fourteenth streets. The lie Droit
Park lire, which now runs to the
wharves, would terminate at Fifteenth
and G streets. while the Eleventh
street line, now part of the Brook
land line, would run to Anacostia.
Opposition Is Voiced.
Opposition to the change affecting
the present Brookland-E Eleventh street
line was voiced by e. J. Brennan of
the Michigan Park Citizens Associa-
ton and J. Clinton Hiatt of the Co
himbia Heights Real Estate Owners
Association. The rerouting, Mr.. Bren-
nan pointed out, would force all chill
dren in Brookland and vicinity at
tending Central High School, to trans
fer at a congested point downtown
which he said was not desirable,
William c. Henderson of the North
Capitol Citizens Association said he
would offer no objection to the change,
if it would not result in reduction
in the service on the Brookland line
and the diScontinuance of the rush
hour service to the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing and to se8n'
teenth and H streets.
William f. Ham, president of the
company. assured Mr.. Henderson and
the commission that no reduction in
the volume of service was contem-
plated. and that the change would
improve the service to the Bureau
of Engraving and Printing. The
physical construction of the tracks,
however, he said, would force the
abolition of the rushhour service 10
Seventeenth and III streets.
Suggests Different Routing.
A different rerouting than recon-
mended by Capt. Klotz was suggested
by H. w. Lynn of the Southeast
Washington Citizens Association.
Under his plan the Eleventh street
cars would run to Anacostia via tho
Union Station and First and e streets
southeast and the LeDroit Park cars
would run to First and T. streets
southeast via Ninth street and the
Center Market. He pointed out that
under the present routing the people
of Anacostia and those served by the
Eleventh street line have no direct
service to the Union Station.
Although the changes will cost the
company about $4,000 at the outset,
Mr.. Ham said his company favored
them, as they would ultimately in
crease traffic on both the Eleventh
street and Brookland lines.

GLASG w Girl WINS
TN ESSAY CONTEST

Bozelnan, March 11.-First honors
in the state interscholastic extempor-
aneous writing contest here went to
Miss Alice Behner of the Glasgow
high school, with Owen S. Roberts
of the Helena high school winning
second place, and Miss Sadie Porter
of the Billings Polytechnic Institute,
third. Miss Behner's essay was on
the subject, "Why l Go to Church, 5"
and was thoughtful, mature, sin
cere presentation of the arguments
for church going from a rather mod
ern point Of view. Owen Robert had
for his subject, Excessive Automo-
bling" and also took his subject
seriously. Miss Sadie Porter wrote
about main Street in Our Town"
The feature of the contest was the
rather close agreement of the 10
judges, and the placing of two seri-
Gus essays among the winners in a
contest which for several years has
usually been won by humorous or
dramatic sketches.
Miss Behner received a gold medal
and a four-year scholarship in any
of Montana's state Institutions The

FORT PECK INDIANS
WILL GET $ll6,OOO

An Indian payment Of $50 per cap
ita, totalling $4,000 will be made on
the Fort Peck reservation on or about
April 1. 1t is possible that due to
the probable change in superintend-
ents the payment may be a few days
after the first, although the funds
will be placed at that time.
Because of unfavorable range con-
ditions this past winter many of the
Indians have found it necessary to
buy hay for their stock and much of
the April payment has already been
advanced for this purpose. Superin-
tendent Moller has asked for another
$50 payment to be made about the
middle of April to provide funds for
seed and the expenses Of spring work.
AS yet whether the second payment
will be authorized is not known.

blamed clean Ills wife is busy all
the time with duster, mop and broom;
she thinks spot of dust Il crime in

for every chair. for every rug and
mat and she fills Daniel with despair
when he mislays his hat. And if per
chance he steps inside with dust upon
his shoes, he wonders why he chose
a bride who could such language use.
She's always busy cleaning floors that
are too heastlr clean. and duStng
stairs and rubbing doors till they've

chasing flies. Il sWatter in her hand,

to her sex. if she would not devote
her life to chasing spots and specks.
If she would let some cohWehs swing
behind the Kitchen door, then Daniel
he might dance and sing, and sorrow
never more. If she would lot some
piles Of dirt in peace accumulate, he
would not feel so @rieVcd and hurt,
