CLUB COMMITTEE URGES
WIDENING M STREET
District Would Buy Property,
Complete Job and Then Sell
Back TO Owners,

A plan to relieve an increasing
amount of traffic congestion on north
west M street by widening the street
to 130 feet has been approved by
a special committee Of the George
town Progressive Club. The proposal
will be recommended at the next
meeting of the organization.
Under this plan, the District gov
ernment would be asked to buy all OF
the property on the south side OF
M street to the canal, and between
Twenty eighth and Thirty sixth
streets, and then, after widening the
street, resell the property fronting on
the new south side of M street back
to its present owners.
The committee declared that, while
present conditions on this street are
bade enough, traffic movement will
be "paralyzed" when the new street
car switch is completed at Wisconsin
avenue and M street. This project
was ordered by the Public Utilities
Commission and the committee points
out an additional % street cars will
be turned into this intersection each
hour. and even more in the rush
hours.

Should People Never Change
Their Mind?

Should people live all through
their life
And never change their mind,
Nor know no more than people did
In times of Aud Lang Syne?
Should people now be ruled by
laws
Made hundred years ago
And nine old men the power have
To say what's so and so?
Why shouldn't people now be free,
If they just have the brain,
To rule themselves and make
their laws
Without nine mems restraint?
If thousand men made up their
mind
To sail their own. canoe
Could one man rule the thousand
men
And tell them what to do?
If should say, the thousand men
Must have lack of brain,
They mad would be, no doubt,
but then
I ask: Why don't they reign?
Are men so dumb in modern time
That ruled they must be
By laws made when the country
was
Still in it's infancy?
Will people never learn to think
And reason for themselves
But always swallow musty creed
Hand'd down from mouldy
shelves?
Some time, maybe in hundred
years
The people in this land
Will change their ways and mean
and be
More rational thinking men!
