Operation of Car Lines
By District Government
To the Editor nj The Star.

To the Editor OF The Star:
Following up my letter in The Star
complaining of the street car service
and the neglect of the Utility Com
mission in not compelling the COM
panies to give the service required by
the law quoted by me, permit me to
suggest that, If the companies will not
or cannot give adequate service, and
the commission continues to neglect
its plain duty to require them to do
so, application should be made to the
Congress for law empowering the
District Commissioners to condemn
the street car lines in the city and
take them over at a fair valuation
and operate them for the benefit Of
the people of the District. If not
operated for profit, and they should
not be so operated, they can be main-
tanned and run on at least a self-sus-
tanning basis at fve-cent fare, as
municipal utility, without cost to the
taxpayers, and so conducted as to
furnish adequate service to the peo-
pie of the District. The law author
izing the acquisition of the properties
should also empower the District gov
ernment to borrow the purchase price
on long-term bonds. 1t is believed
that the income from the lines. If
operated as suggested, would produce
funds amply sufficient for the amor
tization of the bonds when they fall
due.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

A Busy Man.
My Uncle Jim Is busy, jer as busy as
kin be.
His work is different from the tasks
performed by you and me.
He is an inward toiler, for he works
with heart an brain,
And now an then with throat an
lungs, when rkin' to explain.
His brow is often furrowed with the
lines of deepest care.
Don't blame him if he views the world
with distant, vacant stare
His mind is far away from common
folks like me and you,
He's thinking up the various things
that Congress ought to do.
You've no idea what q broad expanse
OF intellect
It takes to make his numerous mental
processes connect.
He deals with facts and figures and
with poetry and prose;
With the wisdom of the ancients and
the signs the present shows.
And he amt no idle dreamer. For It
cannot be denied
He does his best to see his knowledge
faithfully applied
To modern institutions. He's In
earnest through and through
While thinkin' up the various things
that Congress ought to do.

Foot Binding in China.

From China comes word of a unique
species of modernistic reform. The an
eient cult of foot binding for women has
been officially abolished. For centuries
and In the name of fashion, Chinese
girls and women have toddled through
life on feet artif1cially crippled and
made smaller by keeping them SO
tightly bandaged that they assumed
abnormally tiny dimensions with in
cidental pain and difficulty in loco
motion.
Many years ago American women
resident In China formed an Anti
Footbinding Society. Its pioneer ef-
forts were long doomed to futility.
Now, In the twenty-third year of the
republic. China, In the name of prog
rsss, DEGREES the abolition Of a tor
tire tolerated In the name of tradi-
tion.
The result, 1t Is predicted, will
MANIFEST itself In o generation Of
