his great engineer, LEnfant, must have
planned it n laying out the city. These
squares contain, with Eighth street be-
tween and the alleys in them, lag, 500
square feet of ground. The assessed
value OF the property in them is only
S549, 100. o street, p street, Seventh
ana Eighth streets surrounding them
are all classed as business streets and
could not be injured in any way by
locating the Center Market there. On
the contrary, the whole section would
be greatly benefited, and the city as
well, as 1t would clean up this old
neglected part Of the city.
To locate a market for the people to
be convenient to freight or express ter
minals would be the height of folly, as
IN place 1t near tn one terminal would
leave it far from the others. The
greatest cost of transporting from these
terminals is the loading into trucks ana
unloading. Whether it is to be hauled
or 10 blocks is hardly a matter to be
considered.
Anyway. freight is largely brought IN
from the country and nearby cities ny
trucks and delivered direct to its desti-
nation, and this will be done more and
more in the future. 1t will be only
few years when fresh garden truck and
fruit will come from all far-dlstant
points by aeroplane and landed on the
roofs of all up-to-date markets.
The convenience to he people to lines
of travel to and from market should
be the only consideration.
The most successful markets IN the
city now are the little ole Riggs Market
on p street between Fourteenth ana
Fifteenth streets northwest, and the .
Street Market on Squire 422 OF the site

of easy access to the people.

The following tale comes from be-
hind the scenes in the studio Of a To-
cal broadcasting station: A Senator and
a member of the House were before
the mcrophone allotted is minutes
apiece for a joint debate on farm
relief. The Senator, speaking first and
true to form, badly oyerran his time
and his opponent. the House member,
found himself with only minutes to
make his reply. The Representative
was fighting mad Throwing aside his
prepared manuscript he dashed into a
smashing impromptu defense at a
rapsl-flre pace, accompanying his tor
rent OF words with wealth OF force
full gestures, and, when he finished and
the circuit was cut off, he stepped back
from the microphone and involuntarily
bowed low in acknowledgment of the
imaginary applause of his invisible au-
dience.

The following fashion note is bulle-
tined by the Department of Agriculture:
Overcoats of red, orange, bright blue
and bright green are recommended for
school children. Motorists often fail
to see children wearing coats of tan,
gray, brown and black, because these
colors blend with the background.
Bright-colored coats will often catch
the motorists eye in time to prevent
accidents

Some Inequities of

The Government workers are fortu-

cause they are allowed Q certain sum of
money each month after. retirement
from active service.
The greatest cause Of dissatisfaction,
and justly so, it seems, is what has hap
pened and what is happening right
now: A number of employees who never
drew a large wage have been and are
being separated from their regular pay
and allowed an inadequate sum in lieu
thereof, and most of them are unable
to secure remunerative employment any,
where to exc out their small monthly
check
The relief is needed right now at that
point. An amendment (Which 1t is
hoped will be agreeable to all essential
TO its adoption and enactment into law

measure to the effect that any one en-
titled to an allowance would get not less

Everybody has heard this tale before,
but 1t Is interpolated here to bring out
what some of the clerks who are being
retired today were up against In the
halcyon days now past.
The head of a Government bureau In
this city was asked one day how many
clerks worked under him and he replied
about half of the total number that

There was chief of division who
was noted for securing promotions, with
more pay, for the clerks who WORKED

that was entirely new 70 him.
He depended on the clerks TO steer
him In q straight course and they in
return expected him to secure them
more pay.
In the meanwhile and during the re-
elder clerks of other offices were trans
ferred to the Office under the new chief.
Some Of the clerks who were transfer

tically helpless. Consequently the work
had to be done by the younger and more
experienced clerks.
