Taxis and Virginia Cars
Should Be Treated Alike

To the Editor OF The Star:
Washington suburbaniteS who live
in Virginia and used the depot at
Twelfth street and Pennsylvania ave-
nue. have been refused permission for
cars to cross Pennsylvania avenue at
Fourteenth street to reach a new pro-
posed depot above the Avenue. 1t
seems strange that this commission en-
beavers TO regulate necessary street car
traftle and allows the city TO be crowd
ed with vacant taxicabs seeking pas
Sengers, when these railroads inter
ested handled 1000, 900 passengers dur
ing the past year. If they have control
over both modes of transportation, why
DO they not put a needed checkrein on
some of the many taxicahs? OF course
the Virginia roads have q depot at
Rosslyn, Va, fed by a line Of the Capt.
tai Traction Railroad Co. over the Key
Bridge. This fact may have some bear
ing on the case, as the Capital Trac-
ton and It's many stockholders are evil
IDENTIFY more interested in the financial
welfare of their road than in the con-
venience or inconvenience of the farm
ers and Suburbanites who may be
required to make trips to the National
Capital and land In a convenient spot
Or course. I do not know who these
traction stockholders are, but they evil
IDENTIFY are possessed of that important
article in this city known as pull"
without which even individuals have
been known to fail to get what they
reached for. H. T. McCONVEY.

From the Des Molnes Tribune-capitai.
Scientists at Cornell University have
reported that heat generated by air.
plane engines is SUFFICIENT. If properly
used, to prevent ice formation on the
wings Of planes.
They have come to this definite con-
clusion after elaborate tests made on
models in 8 laboratory equipped by the
Guggenheim Fund for the purpose Of
such tests.
1t should be remembered that no
great amount of heat is required, for
ice only forms on wings at q certain
temperature that is Just above the
freezing point, In much colder weather
there is no unfrozen moisture to con-
geal. In warm weather. no matter how
much moisture the air contains, it
won't freeze.
The Cornell scientists conducted the
hot gases, equivalent TO the hot exhaust
gases OF airplane engines, to the lead
Ing edges Of wings which were sur
rounded by moist rushing air of ex-
actly the right temperature for freezing
The heat proved adequate.
And even the expected back pressure
that plane manufacturers feared back
pressure on the engine that would cut
down its power-can be eliminated by
discharging the exhaust gases ct some
point on the wing surface where air
pressure during the flight is less than
normal atmospheric pressure. There
are such areas.

nell experts to 20 on, rxiere seems 10 be

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

More letters are written on vacation
than at any other time Of the year.
Many a person who finds it dificult to
empty fountain pen at home uses up
whole bottle full Of ink in two weeks
at the shore.
Men whose correspondence has ended
with q curt Yours truly" begin to dis
cover that Lovingly yours" and Aztec
tionately yours" have their uses.
No doubt this strange change Is
brought about in the main by two
things-the effect OF absence and sur
plus of time on ones hands.
Why time, the most elusive quantity
Cor quality in the world, should be
said to be ION the hands is difficult to
explain.
Perhaps it comes about because man
is supposed to have risen from the posi-
ton of the beasts to that OF man as the
result of using his hands in combina-
ton with his brain.
Dexterity has played such major
part in mans rise to the upright posi-
ton that mankind may be said almost
to 20 on its hands rather than on It's
feet.
Time, then, is strictly on ones hands
on vacation. That is why they are so
largely used in writing letters.
+ ~
Hotel corridors In which writing desks
are the principal furniture are always
crowded, as every one knows who has
wanted to write q letter about 10 am.
or pm.
Those are the peak points in most
Summer hotels. Then writing rooms
are crowded, mostly by women. That
sex remains the greatest letter writer.
There are few things around sea-
side or mountain Summer resort which
woman won't see and none OF them
which she is not able to recall in time
to put into q letter to the folks back
home.
when applied to letter writing. Every
detail Of costume. time and place Will
be reproduced faithfully. Details which
even the greatest stickler for accuracy
would regard as unimportant are given
full place In these Summertime epistles.
The newness of the surroundings no
doubt has much to do with It. First
impressions often are strongest, and
these when turned into ink strokes on
white paper become the affairs OF the
moment.
Thus the fact that Tomnie was
knocked over Dy MS urSt encounter with
the breakers becomes of far greater i'm
portance in the home letter than all the
statescraft Of all the great nations OF
the world.
Their sense Of proportion is Just.
Tommie'S fright is of greater impor-
lance in the family councils. France S
fear Of Germany is, after all, largely
academic, but Toms friendship with the
wild waves is necessary II he Is to enjoy
his stay at the beach.
Family happenings, however, are far
from the only themes incorporated in
letters from vacationists. A certain
number of them must be credited to the
Dragging instincts of mankind.
There perhaps never was soul who
ever went away for the Summer who
did not find it necessary to send at
least a post card to a few people back
in the city just as pleasant reminder
that friendship existed between them.
Down at bottom, however, there was
the desire to let all and sundry know
that one was able to go away for the
Summer.
The loving letter is one Of the most
interesting to come from far-away
places on shore and mountain.
