Traffic Lights Urged
On MARYLAND Ave. NE

To the Editor Of The Star:
With all the stop signs and signal
lights that have been installed in our
city, some Of which appear to be with
out rhyme or reason, have often
wondered why Maryland avenue north
east should have been overlooked.
II there Is any street or avenue In
the city where stop signs are needed, it
Is at the point Of intersections along
Maryland avenue from the Capitol
Building to Fifteenth and H streets
northeast.
Maryland avenue In the Northeast
is. as every one knows, the main artery
Of travel from points north and Is used
probably more by out-of-town cars
than any other street or avenue in the
city.
Strangers coming into the city nat
urally follow this route and no doubt
presume that traffic crossing this boule-
ward win stop and that they, being on
the boulevard, have the right of way.
The numerous accidents on this avenue
emphasize either the. error of their
judgment or the neglect Of our traffic
officers.
Why doesn't the Traf1c Bureau let
up on the Northwest little and check
UP on some Of the big problems in
other sections Of the city?
have often wondered II the situa-
ton has ever been directed to the at
tention Of our Trafic Bureau.

Impetus for a Bus Terminal.

Impetus to the establishment In the
near future Of q union bus terminal
for Washington is given by the action
Of the public utilities committee Of the
Board Of Trade. which yesterday for
mally approved the project and APP
pointed special committee to study it.
The committee acted after listening to
q discussion Of the problem by speakers
from the Public Utilities Commission,
the Trafic Bureau and the bus trans
portation division Of the American Au-
tomobile Association.
with an increasing number Of lines
operating In the National Capital,
the need for bus terminal, located out
of the center Of congestion. Is apparent.
At the present. time the buses use
curbstone terminals ct widely separated
points, and these heavy vehicles con-
stitute serious delay to trafiic In the
downtown section. Between Fourteenth
and Fifteenth streets on Pennsylvania
avenue more than fifty buses of vari-
Gus sizes arrive and depart daily and
the congestion In this block is acute.
The bus lines have had free use Of
the streets long enough. They have
built up a lucrative business, and, pool
ing their resources, would have no din
Guilty in financing union terminal.
Naturally, the companies object to q
station outside Of the congested section
on the ground that II win take away
one of their chief talking points for the
use OF their vehicles. Ito the heart Of
the CITY," but a well run union terminal
will certainly make up In convenience
Of information to travellers and added
patronage any business that would be
lost II the present arrangement Is
forsaken.
In any event. 1t is quite obvious that
Washington's traffic conditions win not
permit further use Of public space by
unwieldy vehicles which are engaged
in interstate business. The union ter
minal is the solution Of o vexing prob
lem and no time should be lost in es-
tablishing 1t.

Charts Identify
Species of Birds
BY Z. E. FREE, PHI. d.

Strollers In the country this Spring
need no longer get into arguments about
the names of birds that they see sit
ting on roadside bushes. A set Of simple
charts, about the size of post cards, may
now be carried In ones pocket to settle
all arguments. Invented and recently
improved by Mr.. Horace Taylor, lee
turer at Tufts College, Mass, these in
genious and automatic bird-namers
consist Of four cards with windows cut
In them at the proper places, like the
blanks Of o QUESTIONABLE. Each Of
these cards bears, at its top and bottom,
questions about the size, shape, color
and habits Of the unknown bird. These
questions ask, for example, whether the
birds tail is long. stubby or medium;
whether 1t Is large bird, medium one
like robin or q small one like a hum
ming bird; whether the bird Is seen in
bushes, in the open country. on the
ground, and so on. Instead Of answer
ing these questions on blank or tax.
ing the trouble to compare the answers.
point by point, with descriptions in q
book, all that the owner of Mr.. TayIor's
device needs to do Is to sort the per-
forated cards right-side I'D in Accord
ance with the. answers to the printed
questions and then to place this pile on
top OF q key chart supplied with the
cards. Only one Of the windows cut In
the cards viii remain open. Through
that window, legible on the chart be-
meath, win appear the name Of the bird.

Steamer Rescue List
OF 1873 Is Corrected

To the Editor Of The Star:
In reading an account in last Sun

Miss MacPherson. had the pleasure
Of being intimately acquainted with
the family and, although very young at
the time Of the occurrence, can wildly
recall the extreme grief it caused them
xlcan also recall to mind the account
Of the disaster In the papers at the
time, and there were 80 bodies re-
covered; more colored passengers were
lost than white, as there was a larger
number aboard, en- route to q camp
meeting somewhere In Virginia. Well
do I remember the loss Of the Reed
family, and the affair cast q gloom fol-
. while over all of Washington.

It Is human to want to be paid at
tention to, Just as 1t Is natural TO want
to lead, to be the head, TO march first
in parade.
Mankind's overwhelming fondness
for professions points unmistakably to
their need in everyday life.
In parade every one can be noticed
Every one feels that he Is noticed, at
any rate, and that amounts TO almost
the same thing. There are great
many such equivocations, wherein the
suppositional thing takes the place of
the real thing.
II one cannot really lead, one gets

for the workers. not so much lack of
pay or opportunity for advancement,
but rather the insurmo,intable barrier
to happiness involved In lack Of at
tention,
One may be happy though frugal:
there Is an art In It: content comes
rather through the mind and heart
working in accord than through any
amount Of money whatsoever.
Being In ''r,it," as 1t is called, Is
great deal better than being In q
bread line. Many q ''rut" Is lined with
rose leaves, after all.

They are not mechanical figures, run

hours at time, although there may
be no real reason for 1t.
Some profess to believe that this Is
modern American ides, or feeling,

Of today, and In the lives of French

The only difference Is that some are

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
BY FREDERIC j. HAsKIN.

would suggest its origin as being Asiatic.
Turkeys, on being brought TO Spain
from the New World, were handled and
sold by the Hebrew merchants Of that
country. AS the turkey was quite gen.
orally confused with the peacock, II
was natural. therefore, that the Hebrew
traders should apply to IT their name
Tor the peacock, or "tukki." More or
less common use Of this name followed,
which easily became in the English
language our present name "turkey.f
Such an explanation seems to be much
more probable than that the name
preston that the bird originated In or
near Turkey.
Q. Why is the Cape.to-Cairo Rail-
way called the "An Red Route"?-W.
@. C.
A. In Rhodes All Red Route, by

into the future by looking into the
depths OF that big rainbow? can
see two lines Of shining steel running
from one end Of Africa to the other :.
all the way from Cape Town to the
Mediterranean. :. Do you see that bar
Of redo" (Then the rainbow glowed
dusky rose where the light of the set
ting sun struck there the smoke Of
snnouldering veldt fires.) THAT means
it's going to be an All Red railway:
that 1t will run In British territory all
the way"

one at Beauvais by Minister Colbert In
1864. In 1735 ingram carpets were
made at Kidderminster. The Earl Of
Pembroke established factory at VIII
ton In l745. During q period Of up
heaval hundreds of carpet weavers
were driven out of France. They took
refuge In Flanders and Holland and
there large industry sprang up and
flourished. Brussels carpets were intro
duced In England from Flanders by
John Broom in 1749. The first carpets
made in America were made on hand
looms. Erastus B. Bigelow of Boston,
Mass, perfected the first loom.

A. In the Summer of 1918 the
Czechoslovakian armies operating In
Siberia were threatened with destruc-
ton by hostile forces apparently or

Importance to the Government Of the
