Mass TRANSPORTATION


traffic conditions in the city and should therefore take
an interest in the proposal to establish underground
mass transportation system.
AS Peoples Counsel William A. Roberts stated in
recent address, the subway proposal for Washington has
failed thus far because of inertia and inactivity"
Those who are the alert to give the city reason
able and efficient transportation system while preserv
ing or rather restoring the citys beauty will do well
to overcome this inertia and inactivity and get plans
under way for thorough study Of the subway sug-
gestion.
Discussing the subway plan, Mr.. Roberts said:
eve are approaching SaturatiOn in the mOUe-
nent of passenger automobiles in the downtown
streets due to lack of parking facilities and incOn-
Uenience and danger of traUel. The people must
resort to mass transportation in increasing num-
bers and the system nOIU projected is physically
unable to carry any considerably larger num6er
of people,"
There is a definite limitation to the number Of We
hicles that can be operated over limited amount of
street space just there is limitation to the number
of street you can operate over car tracks.
We have about reached that limitation and additional
space must be provided if Washingtonians to go
about their affairs with any reasonable degree OF eff
cheney.
The Uerv mass of vehicles now trying to utilize
the streets of the city, particularly in the cOngested
area, makes it impossible to get the maximum OF
use out of any of the UehicLes.
While putting up with the inconvenience of this con-
dition we steadily destroying the beauty and the
value of the city as National Capital.
Long strings of automobiles in parks and along ave-
nues do not add to the attractions which thousands
come here from all over the country to see.
Unsightly parking lots with decrepid signs don't en-
nance the beauty of the city.

with two more, and we move on to-

reluctant to cease looking, dashes
around shifting at every TUT of grass.
Lula goes ahead with us. ranging
through the billowing grass. and soon
we see old limbo coming along on

in his mouth. Bill picks the tenacious
burrs out of his feet and pats him on

for new fields.

fore the echo of Marge's shot dies,
and moment later gallops happily to
her with the dead bird.
Bill sends limbo ahead to overtake
Lula and we resume hunting along the
timber. We hunt carefully for quite
while in the fields without encourage
ment, and then we decide to try the
brush. We're wondering where all of
those quail can be hiding.
1t is now about ten O'Clock, and
we still haven't flushed the large covey
which ranges here. So we 60 back by
the car and brace ourselves with

We move into a field of stubble
covered with great tufts of grass. Old
Jim suddenly comes to a dead halt, as
rigid as glacier. and Lula runs over
to back him. We approach for the
flush, but there is no flush! Bill walks
up and kicks into the grass, and what
leaps out but big housecat! The
frightened animal disappears in a
nearby ravine while the astonished
dogs look on.

girl with an extraordinary gift of
mimicry and of elocution but she had
also knack about house. Nobody
could yet foresee that. at sixteen, she

spectacularly successful career in the

Sylvia's mother was sometimes
away from home in those days. And if
Sylvia wanted to try chicken for the
first time or make a deep-dish apple
pie, she thought nothing of calling
Montreal to ask her mother how to do
it. 1t would not have occurred to her
to substitute something she did know
how to cook and learn about the new
thing later. Then, as now, she knew
what she wanted and how to find a
way to do it.

knock several out of the flock and

nr is crisp December. Five AM. -
the hour set for the hunt, and Bill
and Marge pull up in their car.
Bill is a Dead-Eye Dick when it
comes to hunting quail. Days in
the windswept fields have tanned him
like an Indian.
Marge is Bills wife, and long ago
she realized that, to be with Bill, she
would have to shoulder a gun and
take to the field. Now she can cover
rough country with the best Of them.
As for me, I'm just a boob hunter
vino by hook or crook induces these
experts to take him along - some
times once, but seldom twice.
But the real stars of this story
are Bills bird dogs, Jim Foster, called
limbo, and Lula Belle, two wirey
pointers with human understanding.
limbo is a big. raw-boned dog Of the
bold and dashing sort - dog given
to snappy pointing, often freezing on
point while running into the scent
at full speed. Lula is the mother of
limbo, but she is smaller dog, more
of the cautious and trailing type.
They hunt like a perfect machine.
Lula locates the covey, Bill and
Marge knock them down. and limbo
picks them up. Simple, isn't it? If
there is quail in the vicinity, Lula's
sensitive nose will lead her to it, and
when Bill shoots at one of those whir-
RIM. whizzing comets of the fields,
something is going to drop. Bill has
trained them, and he doesn't miss.
There is always a dumfounded look in
the dogs eyes when some novice like
me shoots over them and misses the
bird.
1t is hardly daylight when we arrive
at the hunting ground. No sooner is
the motor shut off than limbo and
Lula are scratching to get out. Eager
for the fray, they race ahead through
the needle-grass.
The three of US move apart and
skirt an abandoned field as the dogs
steady down and cover the ground
carefully.
Marge drops behind as we cross a
ravine, and as she climbs up the slope
Bill and l hear the whir of wings.
Marge's gun barks and we catch a
fleeting glimpse of a small covey going
like bullets to the higher ground we
just left. Old limbo doesn't have to be
