1DoyS in the District Of Colurs-
bin
By JOHN DEAN MILLIGAN

| Dy JUN DGACN NAAA4A4OEAN
Most popular of the proposals for
trolley subways in Washington has
been the three-line plan.
This would provide an east-weSt
line downtown, with which two
feeders, one on Fourteenth Street
and the other on Connecticut Ave
nue., would connect.
The amount Of trackage on the
east-west line, and its location,
would depend greatly upon the
traffic it would be called upon to
bear. Under the ideal plan, prac-
tically every street car would be re-
moved from downtown Washing.
ton, including those now operating
on Pennsylvania Avenue, F Street,
G Street, Fourteenth Street, Fit.
teenth Street, H Street and Con-
necticut Avenue.
Lines Would Converge
This would be accomplished by
having nearly all feeder lines enter
ing the downtown area at present
converge on the eaSt-weSt line. This
would affect its location to some
extent, but a more important fac
tor would be the source Of street
car patrons.
The development of the Federal
triangle, and the contemplated
development of the "rectangle"
west of Eighteenth Street, would
provide a definite east est flow.
The existing business and theatre
cal district, on an east-west line
also, should justify the presence
of a cross-town subway.
To serve both the Federal
buildings and the shopping center.
a subway approximately on the
line of E Street would be suitable.
Such is the location suggested by
Peoples Counsel William A.
Roberts and other observers, but
in most cases the proposed length
of the line has been too short be.
cause of fear that a longer route
would arouse too much opposi.
tion.
Longer Line Needed
From a standpoint of better and
safer service, the east-west line
should stretch from the Union
Station plaza on. the east to
Twenty-third st. N. w. At the
Union Station end, cars on many
of the existing surface lines in
the Northeast and Southeast Sec
tions would enter or leave the sub
way. They would continue across
town, using the Twenty-third
Street entrance for reaching the
present lines stretching n %
Georgetown and out Wisconsin
Avenue.
AT no point would this line be
more than a short walking dis
tance from Pennsylvania Avenue,
the theaters, the department
stores and most of the Federal
offices downtown. Those Federal
offices which. would be more
than four blocks away are just
as difficult to reach by existing
lines as they would be under the
new plan, which would not dis
turb the unimportant feeders
now serving some of the bureaus.

for SubwayS i'm the District Of
Columbia will appear on Mon

Drizzling rain-pene-

and other unfavorable
weather conditions-but
all were not enough to
mar a pleasant after
noon spent with DR..
william Mann, director
of the National Zoologi-
cal Park.
After a hearty and en-
joyable lunch at the Zoo
restaurant, a party of
seven began its trip.

knowledge of animals is
very extensive an d
whose travels have taken
him far, was able to tell
somethi: g about every
member Of his large col
lection, rTe pointed out
with pride the named
wolf, the aard vark, the
gerunuk, and the East

cies not in captivity in
any other zoo in the
world. He called all the
animals by name and
in their own fashion,
they in turn responded.
You must come to

back knee cap is broken,
and whom we are caring
for"

Brothers, of the Big

The time licked speed
lily by and I came to
the horrible realization
that 1 must soon leave.
When I did. it was with
a feeling that 1 had a
great advantage over
anyone who is not well
acquainted with the ZOO,
a feeling that I had just

unselfish hard-working
people.

YOU'LL PAY AND PAY

The cost of living is always one of the
gravest problems the public faces. Dur
ing depression the problem became magni-
fled many times. Today, in spite of the
recovery that has been made, it is still
greater than ordinary, for that recovery
has been followed by rises in the price
level that have not yet been accompanied
by increased income so far as millions of
citizens are concerned.
Government should attempt to hold
the cost of living to as low level as is eco
nOmically possible. But government, to the
contrary has followed a Numerically diff
ferent course. 1t has passed law after law
which made higher cost of living in
evitable. And at the same time, it has
penaIized distributing methods which
made it possible to sell the necessities of
life to the consumer at & lower cost, with
out damage to the producer.
The taxes passed by various states
against large merchandising organizations
are Indicative of the latter-taXeS that
must inevitably be passed on to the con-
sumner And bills are now pending in
CongreSs which would again increase the
cost of living by outlawing certain mer-
chandising practices which cut costs and
permit of greater savings in the routine of
bringing goods from producer to buyer.
The public should awaken to the fact
that it ard it alone pays the cost of such
laws. It and it alone must bear the bur-
den, and feel the i'll effects. And, unless
the 1875 900, 900 American consumers make
their voices heard, they are going to find
that a steadily increasing part of their in
come will be required to purchase the bare
necessities of life
