in unless the door happens to be left
open. Many times Chatterer has sat
and studied that corn crib, trying to
see way of getting into it. Many
times he has seen Sammy Jay ny over
and pick out few grains of corn from
between the cracks and has ground his
teeth because there was no way for him
TO get q share.
One day in early Winter, very early
in the morning, Chatterer had gone
over to Farmer Browns dooryard ito
see what he could find there. Black
Pussy had surprised him, and to escape
her Chatterer had scampered up a
clothes post, in the top Of which he
had sat and scolded as only Chatterer
can scold. Black Pussy pretended she
was going to climb up, and Chatterer
scolded so fast that 1t is q wonder he
didn't lose his breath. At last Black
Pussy gave up and went of under the
back porch.
Chatterer was just preparing to run
down to the ground and scaf11per to the
nearest tree when those bright, beady
little eyes of his made discovery He
stopped scolding. He sat still and stared
to make sure that his new discovery was
just what. it seemed to be. You see, he
had Just discovered that clothes line
had been stretched from that clothes
post to a corner of the corn crib, and
that was the incest kind of bridge for
q natural born tightrope walker like
Chstterer.
He looked hastily all about to see
that no one was watching him. Not
even Black Pussy was In sight. Chat
terer crept out a little way on the
clothes line. Everything seemed all
right. He cfept farther. This was too
good to be true. He looked back once,
then he fairly ran the rest Of the way
across. From the clothes line he could
reach the edge of the roof of the corn
crib. In fifty he was on the roof. How
he did long to set that tongue Of his
free. He wanted to chatter for very Joy.
But he was too wise to do this. It would
be just as well If no one knew that he
was there. Surely. there must be some
way of getting into the corn crib from
the roof. If necessary he could gnaw a
hole and get in that way. The first
thing to do was to look that corn crib
all over as well as he could from the
roof. This he proceeded to do.

The Old Inventors Story.

There recently passed away In a New

lifetime and considerable money in an
endeavor to prove that he was the in

fact that he was certainly active In
the field years and years before the use

which forced the ink to the pen point
by an occasional turn. He afterwards

There is very little around Farmer

Cannot your excellent paper dc
something in a big editorial Way
ir the matter of criticising the
distressing street conditions
here?
Ten years ago I came to Wash
ington for the first time and re-
manned a year, during which time
1 was impressed with the pal
pably needless continuous dig
g;ng up of streets and avenues all
over the city.
I thought that it was only part
of an extensive program of widen
ing or extension until 1 discoV
cred that the different utility
companies were totally lacking in
coordination in the matter OF
making underground repairs and
that as soon as the water com
pany completed its job and filled
the gap in the street pavement,
the gas company would come
along and dig it up again, and so
ad infinitum until the present
day.
Four years ago I returned to
make my home here and lind
those conditions as bad, if no.
worse, than they were in the old
days.
Matters have now come to such
a pass tia it is we'll nigh iii,
possible to travel as far as &
half dozen blocks by auto with
out encountering barricades Of
some sort or other and being
compelled to detour through d
maze of one-way streets, bottled up

is entirely within reason that,
if the 35-cent rate continues, the
practice of using them may spread
to classes of the population which
rarely employ them now. Three,
four or five people can ride down
to work in them from their homes
at a price actually lower than
that which they would pay for a
street car ride.
AS long as the cabs are willing
to get business on this basis, it
would be great mistake to try
to Standardize their rates on a
higher basis. We have had ex-
perience in the past with what
the traction companies will do in
trying to break up jitney COM
petition.
1t seems to me that the time
is approaching when street car
revenues are going to decline
steadily, no matter what measures
are taken to restore them to pub
lie favor. Increased fares are
merely going to stimulate the
movement away from them. The
two companies will be confronted
with the necessity of accepting
lower valuation on which to
base their estimates of revenues.

There has been some furtive
discussion of the proposal to
either remove or antedate the
various circles and squares in
downtown Washington for the
purpose of eXpediting automobile

among the glories of Washing

will get very far.
