according to records released recent

Postal receipts, with a single ex-

Many of the cities rode to gains
through the medium of Christina:
or Santa Claus business, but in the
majority, there was a steady boos,
for each quarter of 1885.
Charlotte led all cities and set
a new record with receipts totalling

the $S34,760 of 1884 and sharply
above the former record year of
1929-also a good business year
which showed sS43,33O returns for

a gain of $15S,165 for 1885 over
the preceding year to lead the Is
towns in this respect. The $751;
57o in revenue accruing to that Of
tlce last year set a new record and
enabled that city to retain second
rank in gross business, and COM

figured in the large postal receipts

Raleigh, with the second largest
gain-SSS,S02, moved from $442,-

Postal officials said the 1885 total

William Jennings Bryan were still alive,
why, he would take the stump for the
doctor without batting an eye.
But one feature of the scheme even
the amateur may discuss with guSto-
the spending of those $500 month by
us old-timerS. Some of the enviouS ones
can't see how we are going to get rid
OF all that pelf. oh, that's easy. Accord
ing to DR.. Ruhland, there are about
10000 doctors who earn hardly anything.
There is nothing to prevent those TO-
100000 Of us to consult these doctors
about once a week. Just walk in, show
our tongues. pay the fee and walk out.
This would cost each of us about 500
a year. which we could afford to pay.
And so each one of these 10000 would
enjoy yearly income of $25, ,000-$1, ,000,-
100000 in all.
And so on. We would buy ourselves
six suits and two overcoatS year, at
$50 each, making $240. This would put
50, 400 000, 900 into the pockets of the
tailors. Our old clothes we'd turn in to
Uncle Sam. Well get ourselves a new
set Of teeth and new glasses every Christ
mas, we'll buy new car about once
every two years. Well form an athletic
promotion association and hang up big
purses for Joe Louis and whoever is in
clined to be buried at a seconds notice.
In any case, where there is will
there is way. And we certainly have
the will-provided, Of course, that the
money retains its present buying value.
1t also has been stated that pension
boardsIl become necessary for each of
the country's 3,071 counties and $500

Transit Hearings.

The hearings before the Public Utili-
ties Commission in respect to the bus
and street car services have developed
many complaints. They reflect a de-
cided public dissatisfaction on the score
Of the frequency and reliability of sched-
ules, the character of the vehicles and
the adequacy Of routes. Complainants
have cited their experiences-waitingf for
service while buses, crowded to the
doors, have speeded past; suffering from
bad air In the buses when they manage
to enter; joStled dangerously while stand
ing, without adequate hand holds; i'm
periled by the automatic doors in leaving
the vehicles. Others find the connec-
tions between sections of the routes in
wufncient. Some aver that the packing
of the busses prevents drivers from see
ing the road clearly enough for the safe
handling Of their machines. Others re-
port failures of the buSses in consequence
Of mechanical faults, without prompt
replacement and continuation of the
service.
AL of this gives the Public Utilities
Commission material for study for the
purpose Of effecting improvements in the
service. The hearings were called to that

most notably useful portions of the
Library establishment. But it probably
had not been contemplated that it ever
would include a museum. Credit for the
initiation Of that aspect of its work.. that
enlargement Of its purpose, must be
granted to Mrs. whittall. She has started
what in decades to come may be most
attractive expansion. Her donation, it
would seem, will serve to inspire others
to contribute in kind, and at last Wash
ington may have something like the
Scheurleer Museum OF Music at The
Hague. The Capital already possesses
valuable collections Of instruments in
the Smithsonian Institution and in the
Folger Shakespeare Library.
1t may be added that Mrs. Whittall has
acted deliberately. She might have given
her treasures elsewhere, but she chose
to commit them into the care of the
Library because she was convinced that
the Federal City is the proper place for
citizens of the United States to assemble
such endowments as they wish to benefit
all their countrymen.

Traffic Lights Needed at
Mt. Pleasant Intersection

To the Editor of The Star:
The Evening Star Safety Councils s

tive and listing thousands of Washing
tonians pledged to safe auto driving is
ended. The chairman in fine valeditory
letter of the council and himself turns
over its wealth of accumulated data to
the director of vehicles and traffic and
requests action.
What have we, especially the pedestrian
public? One hundred thousand dollars
requested by traffic director for "stop-go"
traffic lights after investigations! Effec-
tive, if at all. in six months or one year
hence. In the meantime, "stop-go"
lights have been asked for during the
past three and one-half years at inter-
section of Mount Pleasant and Irving
streets northwest. Three years ago in
vestigation promised, and then state
ment: mo money available to install
them"
Traffic over Mount Pleasant and Irving
streets intersection has increased fully
so per cent in these three and one-half
years. One citizen killed on Mount
Pleasant street near Irving street-an-
other had leg broken.
Notwithstanding admission three years
ago of necessity of "stop-go" trafic
lights at this intersection we are now in
formed that traffic lights are not neces-
Sary at the mentioned intersection of
streets. White lines across Mount Pleas
ant street at this intersection instruct
autoists and street cars to stop before
crossing intersection. The autoiStS
never do. They speed across going north
and south, encouraged to do so because
there are no traffic lights or even stop"
signs.
Water accumulates, owing to depression
in Mount Pleasant street, over pedes-
trian croSswalks here, in such quantity
as to splash pedestrians who cross Mount
Pleasant street at this intersection and
even the sidewalk.
Traffic lights have been installed at
many places since they were requested
for this section. How in the name of
human-life saving, justice and civic adj
ministration can such downright
wrong exist? What is the bar sinister
against the installation of lights at Mount
Pleasant and Irving streets intersection?
