oarably one OF the most impressive thor
oughfares in the world, easily the most
significant.
Opinions highly favorable to this pro-
posal have already been expressed. 1t
has been declared feasible by the spe-
cialists of the Department Of Agricul-
ture, who know the American trees and
soil conditions. It has been approved
as artistic by those concerned in the
landscape treatment of the boulevard.
The national road to Mount Vernon Is
regarded as the country's tribute to
George Washington. It will start from
the Virginia end of the Memorial
Bridge, probably on Columbia Island,
and will follow an attractive route to
the home Of the first President, passing
through historic country. It will be
travelled by countless millions OF Ameri-
cans, visiting Mount Vernon as the ma
tional shrine. It should be symbolic of
the great republic. in the founding of
which Washington played SO vital
part. Representation of the States and
possessions should be assured Build
ings are not desirable, are, in fact, de-
cidedly undesirable. Statues or other
sculptures representative of the States
would pertain to this present period and
would perhaps be Of questionable taste
in years to come. Trees would never be
outdated or regarded with doubt. The
State sections could be identified by
simple but distinctive markers of stone
or bronze, SO that all who travel the
road would know the origin of the noble
growths bordering and towering the
highway.
The proposer of this plan is a Wash
ingtonian. Its adoption may be WASH
lngton'S distinctive gift and contribution
to the boulevard project. It is to be
hoped that it will be accepted by those
in charge Of the boulevard, and that
plans for its successful execution will be
made In ample season for the cere-
monial opening in 1882.

that the people will not pay ten cents
The conditions of the two services are
dissimilar. Car riders are not assured
of seats and the theory of the jitney
service was that all riders were guar
arteed seats.
1t might follow that the rate of ten
cents for an assured seat, whether in
street car or cab. would be popular In
the District, Such a street car service,
however, is not proposed. On only one
line of public vehicles operating in the
District is the seat per fare" principle
established. and in that case the rate
OF fare is twenty-five cents.
The application of the Capital Trac-
ton Co, for an increase in fare must
be considered on It's merits without ref
erence to the brief interlude, just closed,
of an unsuccessful iitney service.

change their date.
@. Where is the Port Of Missing
Men,. X.
A. Meredith Nicholson, the author.
says that he coined the title THE Port
of Missing Men" for his book published
in 1907. Some time later a real estate
promoter in Connecticut started a tea
house in the tract he was dividing into
parcels to sell and called the place, the
Port of Missing Men. This place has
nothing to do with the location of the
story. in which the imaginary port was
in the Virginia hills.
@. Is there a law specifying the
shades Of red and blue that should be
used for dags?-D. C.
A. The Bureau of Navigation says
that the shades of the colors in the
United States Flag have never been
defined by law. The fact that flags
used earlier in our history are repre-
sented with a lighter blue than those
in use now may be explained by the fact
that the current dyes and bunting are
of better quality than formerly
Formerly, the flag was manufactured
for the Government by a number of
commercial firms. Since 1912 the
United States Army has been making
its own flags, and the Navy has been
making its own flags for an even longer
period, so that the dark blue used by
the Government has now standardized
the shade of the blue.
@. How much of the meat sold is
inspected by the Federal Government?
j. c. S.
A. Federal meat inspection as now
conducted extends to about two-thirds
Of the food animals slaughtered in the
United States. The remaining one
third Is subject to local, city or State
law.

A. About 3l5 600, 900 pencils are used

A. Their chief town was Cuzco. The
descendants of the Incas still represent
over so per cent Of the inhabitants Of
Peru.
@. Are people with long faces usually
tall?-C. S.
A. DR.. Mcdonald says that the long
face goes more frequently with superior
height. while projecting, fiat or short
face is found more frequently on short
persons.
@. How was tanning done In the
early days?-H. T.
A. Hide and Leather says that the
earliest tanning consisted of placing
skins in pits between layers of bark
One of the most important develop
ments in American tanning history was
the introduction of teaching, in which
the tannin content was extracted from
the bark, which permitted placing skins
in tanning liquors.
@. Is Albert I of Belgium the son of
Leopold II?-S. S.
A. The present ruler Is not the son
of his predecessor. He Is his nephew

IitneY Cabs Suspend.

The experiment of the ten-cent jitney

psrently failed. The difficulties at

modations for the public during the

bloodiest kind OF fighting. the American
