Obligations of Railroads
And Duties of Commission
To the Editor Of The Star:

Az thc GuitoI VI mt othks
The people can present their protests
against poor car service with more sure
ness If they understand exactly what the
street railroad companies are required
to do.
Section 122, title 26-public utilities
1929 code, D. c., says:
Every street railroad company or cor
poration owning, controlling, leasing or
operating one or more street railroads
within the District of Columbia shall
on each and all of its railroads supply
and operate q sufficient number of cars,
clean, sanitary, in good repair, with
proper and safe power, equipment, appli-
ances and service, comfortable and con-
venient, and so operate same as to give
expeditions passage to all persons desir-
Gus of the use of the said cars, without
crowding said cars"
AS to the commission, the same section
says:
1.-The Public Utilities Commission is
hereby given power to require and COM
pei obedience to all of the provisions
of this section, and to make, alter, amend,
and enforce all needful rules and regu-
lationS to secure said obedience; and
said commission is given power to make
all such orders and regulations necessary
to the exercise of the powers herein
granted to 1t as may be reasonable and
proper"
AS to obligations of the street railroads,
section 122 further says:
And such railroad companies or cor
porations, their officers and employees
are hereby required to obey all the pro-
visions of this section, and such orders
and regulations as may be made by said
commission. Any such company or cor
poration, or its officers or employees, vio-
lating any provision of this section, or
any of the said orders or regulations
made by said commission, or permitting
such violation, shall be punished by a
fine OF not more than one thousand
dollars. And each day Of failure or
neglect on the part of such company
or corporation, its officers or employees,
to obey each and all Of the provisions
and requirements of this section, or the
orders and regulations Of the commission
made hereunder, shall be regarded as
a separate offense"
Reliable reports are to the effect that
the Public Utilities Commission has evi-
dence, gathered by its own experts, that
street railroad company has f1agrantly
failed to comply with the provisions of
said section 122, setting forth its obli-
cations to the public for fares paid.
Unless the commission speedily effects
changes to give to the car-riding public
the service obligatory upon the street
railroad company, or imposes fines to
compel performance of street railroad
obligations to the public, the people
will be fully justified in asking the Presi-
dent to remove from Office any dilatory
officials who coddle the street railroads
to such an extent as to permit plain vio-
lations of law. And the people should
do SO in overwhelming numbers until
they get commission that will enforce
their rights. JOSEPH w. CHEYNEY.

New Year Deal

New Year Deal
A New Deal with the holidays
Has brought a note Of cheer.
On pictures bright it bade me gaze
To greet the glad New Year.
To make the message still more fair
The cards to me disclose
A bit Of verse, composed with care,
Or just plain honest prose.
The gentle wishes that see
From friends throughout the land
Assure me this New Deal to me
Has brought winning hand.

childish assurance to the bird not to be
frightened.
Every edition Of Mother Goose" Diff
fers from the other; some incorporate
songs perhaps never in q genuine edi-
ton. It Is all very confusing, and then
q year or so ago some one came along
with large volume to show the hidden
political meanings Of all these old rhymes.
Perhaps 1t Is true, but the casual read
| er. and certainly the little ones, will pre-
fer to accept the rhymes for their words
and pictures.
Here is a famous one, dealing with the
"ladybug." or ladybird. the beetle which
has been called bird Of our lady"
Surely not bird, Of course, but 80
called In this rhyme, and therefore en-
titled to gain entrance to tcdays COM
| pilation.
"Ladybirdl Ladybird! fly away home:
Your house is on fire. your children all
gene;
| All but one, and her name is Ann,
And she crept under the pudding pan.
'Ladybird! Ladybird! ny away home:
The field mouse is gone to her nest.
The daisies have shut up their sleepy
red eyes,
And the bees and the birds are at rest.
"Ladybirdl Ladybirdl fly away home;
The glow-worm is lighting her lamp;
| The dews falling fast, and your fine,
speckled wings
Will flag with the close -clinging damp.
'Ladybirdl Ladybird fly away home;
The fairy bells tinkle afar;
Make haste, or they'll catch you and
harness you fast
With a cobweb to Oberon's car"
- ~
Some Of the weather admonitions OF
Mother Goose are interesting, although
it must be kept in mind that England is
not the United States, and that rains
come from the seas, from the west as well
as from the east, as they often do with us.
"A red sky in the morning
Is the shepherds warning;
A red sky at night
Is the shepherds delight"
At this point we notice wonderful old
rhyme, Of great antiquity, linked with
the old herbal lore, but of it another time.
THE south wind brings wet weather,
The north wind wet and cold together;
The west wind always brings us rain,
| The east wind blows 1t back again"
The west wind. Of course, brought the
rain from the Atlantic.
"A sunshiny shower
Won't last half an hour"
which is wisdom known to all persons
| and lands.
Evening red and morning gray,
1t is the sign of bonny day;
Evening gray and morning red,
The lamb and the eve 60 wet to bed"
A bit Of old bird lore is this:
THE robin and the redbreast,
The robin and the wren,
If you take out OF their nest
You'll never thrive again.
The robin and the redbreast,
The martin and the swallow,
II you touch one of their eggs
Bad luck will surely follow"
The "redbreast" must be the cardinal
Such verses as these show how people
have always loved the birds and tried to
protect them in the only way they knew.

The Big Race.

When politicians plan q race
They mention first and second place
And maybe some one who will show.
With others listed In q row.
We try to make a bet with care
On some one who looms likely there
And win with glee or take loss
The same as if he was hoSs.

You have it in you to hit top goal
Make 1t.
And as you 60 on don't vince at toll.

Silence your slogan, till time to speak;

A fool.
Follow your leader through every fight.
Have verve!
