lighted as 1t is on Wednesday and

distinctive because it is still more

The building where the newspaper
L1ntransigeant is published. From
the roof one gets remarkable pano-

the River Seine as it winds away into
the distance. Notable also for its in
terror lighting system, whereby great
mirrors defect the daylight down a
great shaft to the various floors.
Artichokes in Gardens.
The gardens of ST. Germain, near
Paris. with their intricate geometri-
cal design that caused an American

Why, who would have thought that
clusters of artichokes could be made
to look like green roses nesting to
the earth?"
The Luxembourg Gardens, with
Children renting donkeys to ride and
sailboats to sail and their parents

In these gardens, too, is one of the
most unusual fountains in the world.

read that an American doctor

save himself a lot Of money if
he'd buy a good radio and tune

In this country, the modern
way of inducing sleep is to wave

Naturally, not having much

However, his offer Of $4,000,

ASKS END
OF TAK0MA
CAR LINE
Transit Company Cites
Expense Of Tracks
as Reason

Seeking abandonment Of the
Takoma street car service via
Fourteenth Street Northwest, and
rerouting of two bus lines, the
Capital Transit Company today
filed a petition with the Public
Utilities Commission.
Through E. D. Merrill, vice preSi-
dent and general manager, the
company asked that the commits
sion allow it to abandon the tracks
on the Takoma line along Kennedy
Street from Fourteenth Street and
Colorado Avenue to Third Street
and along Third Street to the enc
of the line.
Two Tracks Fought
In the rerouting plan, the COM
mission had ordered that the COM
pany double-track the line from
Georgia Avenue to the end of the
line. Expense of this double track
ing was the reason advanced by
the company for the proposed
abandonment.
The company proposed to oper-
ate a shuttle" bus over the route
which would be abandoned and
to charge the same fare on this
bus line.
Recruiting Of the express bus
service to Takoma Park was re,
quested. The company proposed
to route the BUSES through Fifth
Street Northwest to Grant Circle,
then via New Hampshire, Sher.
man, Florida and Vermont Ave,
nueS into Thirteenth Street. The
company proposes to charge a
straight 10-cent fare and $1.25
pass on this line.
Bus Recruiting Asked
The company also asked per-
mission to reroute the Chillum
Heights bus line, which was estab-
lished by the Washington Rapid
Transit Company, now merged
with the street car company. so
that the BUSES will not have to
run along Sixteenth Street North
west.
The new route proposed is via
North Capitol Street to New Hamp-
shire Avenue to Grant Circle, then
over the same route into Thir-
teenth Street as the Takoma bus
line, instead of proceeding over
Sixteenth Street. 1t also was pro-
posed to charge the straight 10
cent fare and SIPS pass on this
line.
