The Taxicab Situation.

1t is unfortunate that the House be-
fore adjournment did not pass a meas
ure of such Importance to the public OF
Washington as that requiring taxicab
operators and companies to show finan-
cial responsibility. The bill passed the
Senate and was favorably reported by
the House District Committee. When
it reached the floor of the House under
the unanimous consent rule there was
one objection and its doom was sealed
How there could have been objection
to such a meritorious proposal is diff
cult to understand but it is idle now to
discuss it. The simple fact is that the
objection was sufficient to rob the pub
lie Of the protection that it should have
this Summer
Possibly, if the member who OBJ
jected could have visualized the chaos
that now exists in the taxicab situation
in Washington, he would have withheld
it. With the advent of the thirty five
cent cab and the new f1ve-cent cab
combined with the proposal to run We
hicles for hire at twenty-five cents to
parallel street car lines, Washington
has q conglomeration of hackers, the
majority of whom are in no way re-
sponSible for the damage they may
cause by their own negligence. Some
of them rent their cars from central
company. They pay in the neighbor-
hood of six dollars day per car. Per-
haps this six dollars includes insur-
ance for the public against accident,
but it would seem more likely that it
does not. Some are drivers for small
companies, companies from which it
is impossible to collect cent in case
of accident, because their equities in
the vehicles that they send upon the
streets cover no more than the initial
payment and in case of accident these
vehicles are subject to seizure by the
sellers.
1t is crying shame that in the
Capital of the Nation such a situation
should exist. Every other city has
iron-clad regulations for its vehicles
for hire, but in Washington, the seat
of Government, the Public Utilities
Commission is utterly unable to en-
force It's regulations. Congress should
certainly have remedied this evil at
the last session, but it did not see At
to do it. This is another reason why the
voteless Capital desires representation
in the body which makes its laws.
Washington is unrepresented, and con-
sequently is left unprotected. 1t is a
sad commentary on the progress of
American civilization.

Sets a Good Example by
Making Work for the Idle

To the Editor Of The Star:
There has been so much said and
published in the newspapers concern
ing unemployment in the labor class
that decided to help the situation in
small way. AS am the owner Of
the property at the address below and
there has been an urgent need for a
retaining wall along the east side of
my property for some time, decided to
do the work at this time. employed
one laborer for one week to complete
the job. When that wall was finished
had another wall built in front and in
the driveway of my property, which re-
quired the services of three and four
men about another week, besides the
material that was used on both jobs.
did not have the money to pay cash
for the work. The bank was kind
enough to loan me what needed.
Same can be paid back as / am able
to do so.
My position is nothing more than a
Federal employe of the Treasury De-
partment. It occurred to me that those
persons who are so situated that are
contemplating doing work in the labor
and building fissd, why not do it at
this time?
This is offered to you as suggestion,
as it was thought that through the
columns Of your paper something could
be said that might help the unemployed
situation. M. e. KRUGER,

Canadian Vote Drives
Based on Flag Waving

From the Des Moines Register
Americans are taking more than usual
interest in the Canadian election of
July %, since the campaign is becom-
ing largely a contest in flag-waving.
Both the Liberals and the Conserva-
tiveS are asking for votes on the basis
OF their loyalty to the empire and their
anxiety to punish the United States for
enacting the new tariff. =
Although America in enacting the
present tariff law is partly responsible
for this hag-waving competition in Can
ada, with its implied economic hostility
to Uncle Sam, the appeal of Dominion
politicians to a narrow type of irnpe-
rlaliSnn is unfortunate. The best inter-
eSts of each nation require the contin-
uance of close cooperation with the
other
Trade between the United States and
Canada is larger than that existing be-
tween any other two nations. and Amer
lean investments in Canada are double
those in any other foreign country.
American tourists spend $3.50 ,OOO, 900 a
year In Canada, and Canadians spend
nearly third as much in this coun-
try
1t Is likely the politicians appeal to
the nag is being made largely for the
sake OF getting into office, and that
there is little serious thought OF adopt
ing threatened economic measures
which would result in injury to both
nations.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Hero Overlooked.
When we're speaking of heroes and try
ing to frame
A list to inscribe in the temple of fame,
Let's pause for moment and join IN a
song
For the hero obscure who is lost in the
throng.
Perhaps meath bushel his lamp strug-
giles dim;
Yet the world puts lot of dependence
on him
Who faces his duty, still scorning to
shirk-
The man who says nothing, but just
goes to work.
His courage is not of the sort that may
win
Applause and reward in the battles
fierce din;
His hardship is one that full many
would s1un,
For it's farewell to friends when there's
work to be done.
It's farewell to sunshine and farewell to
song
The way of endeavor is lonely and long.
Men must honor, though fools may dis
miss with smirk,
The man who says nothing, but just goes
to work.

Four Dollar Beryllium.


Fifty years ago aluminium, or, as it was
then generally styled, aluminium, was
rated as n rare, costly metal The
process of its reduction from the clay
banks IN which it occurred as an oxide
was expensive and productive of but
small quantities. The day when the
cap stone of the Washington Monument
in this city was finished off by a solid
aluminium tip was a notable occasion
because Of the great rarity of so large
mass Of this material. Then came
the discovery of a method of produc-
ton which by successive steps reduced
the cost to the point that the
white metal so useful in the arts
because of its extreme lightness and
durability and immunity from rust be-
came virtually as cheap as iron.
Now another metal is being similarly
developed from rarity and high cost to
larger production and lower cost. This
is beryllium, also known as glucinum.
1t was first isolated in 1923, although
existing in large quantities all over the
world. Now, century after its identi-
fication, only a few pounds are known
to exist in the pure state on account of
the high manufacturing cost, more than
twenty operations being necessary to
convert the ore into the meCal It is,
however, a most useful material mas
much as it is only two-thirds the
weight of aluminium, is hard enough to
scratch glass, has an elasticity equal to
the highest grades of steel and four
neighbor, aluminium. For some time re-
search has been in progress to effect a
reduction process yielding beryllium in
practical quantities at an economic rate
in order that the metal might be used
in pure state or as an alloy for the
making of airplane frames.
Announcement has just been made
that as the result of intensive laboratory
experiments beryllium, which has
hitherto cost 500 a pound, has been
produced for 81, reduction which gives
great encouragement N metallurgiStS
and manufacturers and inspires the
hone of further reduction which will
permit the early adoption of beryllium
in the arts.
1t is estimated that by the use OF
10 per cent beryllium alloy with
aluminium 1t will be possible to re-
@Aace. the wei=ht OF any given air.

Sad State of Affairs on
Washington Street Cars
To the Editor Of The star:

TO the Eoltor OF The Star:
Why is it that the Capital OF the
greatest nation and country on this
planet viii put up with the awful con-
ditions of the trolley companies IN
washington, D. c.? The condition OF
the uniforms of the conductors ana
motormen of some of the cars Is a dis
grace to North America. On a green
car that the writer went uptown on
few days ago the conductors Uniform
looked as il it might have been worn
years, and years, and years. Holes ana
darned and drawn together places, ana
leather binding of pockets worn ana
whole uniform filthy dirty. I suppose
the poor man has family to keep that
takes all his salary. But why doesn't the
company furnish their conductors ana
motormen uniforms?
And the old, filthy, out-of-date cars,
some of them with their long seats, one
on each side Of the car. must have been
the first that were ever used IN the
District of Columbia, and so filthy
dirty that one is afraid to sit down in
them. There doesn't seem to be an oper-
ator on either line, that knows how 10
operate a car. The writer had near
broken wrist from being thrown against
the iron part where the operator stands
while getting on, the motorman start
Ing the car WIN InaC aWIui, Clumsy
jerk while the writer was getting on.
Had an aching wrist and black and
blue marks for weeks.
There was day when the Washing
ton, d. c., street cars were started and
stopped without throwing human beings
all over the cars and no risk of break
ing their limbs, and clean and COM
Portable seats. At present some of their
seats feel as If they were packed with
rocks.
Just yesterday the writer waited a
half hour on the platform in front OF
the main entrance to the Senate ONCE
Building for a Mount Pleasant car and
at last boarded a Friendship Heights
car and transferred to Mount Pleasant
at Dupont Circle and was late to an
appointment It is usually the other
way, more Mount Pleasant cars than
any other kind. But they were scarce
yesterday.
Why should such conditions exist in
the Capital Of the United States Of
America? Is there no one with es-
thetic taste or human feeling enough
to care how the human beings without
automobiles get through the city from
work to their places of rest between
work to see to it that conditions are
changed?
