Half a dozen or more veteran coachmen In the cabinet set viewed with no little trepidation Secretnry of Stnto Lansing's move to have nutomoblles substituted In the legislative, executive and Judicial appropriation bill for thc traditional horse-drawn carriages used by mem bers of the president's official family. The secretary usked for n $0,000 ma chine. The house scaled the allowance to $4,000. When he gets his motor car the secretary of state's pair of sleek bays will be relegated to the depleted equine market. It may be expected that other cabinet officers will follow the premier's lead. The passing of the cabinet carriages will bo regretted by many Wnshlngtonlnns, who have taken n sort of pride In the prancing steeds which transport the various secretaries on their olllclnl errands. Presi dent Roosevelt was thc first chief executive to discard the White House teams, when ho purchased a limousine, now doing tnxlcab duty here. Subsequently President Taft drove nn unusuul bargain with un excluslvo nutomobllo concern, by which he obtained three big cars nt an annual cost of only $500, with new enrs furnished every year. The same agreement Is still In force, and thc manufacturer, although he Is not allowed to advertise the fact that his cars are used at the White House, has shown no Inclination to niter the contract.

Great Falls, these boulevards -iff il"J Boulevards Along the Potomac River Are Advocated ROULEVARD on both sides of the Potomac river from Washington to A bridge across the Potomac at Great Falls connecting A boulevard from Washington south to Mt. Vernon, con necting with the upper Potomac park development. These, In brief, were the sugges tions made to the national park con ference by A. R. Casselman, as the next stage In the development of Washington's park system. r-vA-5j Mr- Casselman, an employee of fi-6fi?OJ the Interior department, has rnude a proiongeu study or the scenic nenuties of the Potomac, with n view to adapt ing a park plan to make them acces sible. Mr. Casselman pointed out the propriety of connecting the Great Falls boulevard with Mt. Vernon because George Washington was deeply Interested in Grent Falls and helped dig the canals there, tho first In this country. Below the Hlghwny bridge, and north of Alexandria, he snld, there lie 400 or COO acres of shallow river which should be reclaimed. Some of the portion of the original District of Columbia, ceded hack to Virginia In 1840, Mr. Casselman said, should be restored to tho national gov ernment, because the government has Interests of grent magnitude, especially those In tho power site nt Grent Fulls, along both sides of tho river. no said that President Tnft had recommended tho acquisition by the government of a portion of the Virginia tract, nnd that Ambassador Bryco had said: "It Is an ingratitude to providence If the country does not use the grent natural beauty of thc upper Potomac." "Nowhere In this country," Mr. Casselman said, "does such scenery exist within easy distance of n great city as that this side of the falls." He said that If the plan to have n great lake at Little Falls Is carried out that makes the development of the land above Little Falls all the' more desirable. The beauty of Washington, he continued, Is no longer u matter of local, hut of national, Interest. "It will not be many decades," ho predicted, "until Washington has a million population, nnd then It will be too late to acquire tho territory needci' for the Great FallB park plan." Rose From the Brickyard. Dr. Frederick A. Hall, newly ap pointed chancellor of Washington uni versity, roso to thc academic head of the institution after tho manner which has mnrked many successful careers In this country. Whoro other men overcame difficulties of humble birth nnd circumstance nnd rose to high po sitions In thc business world, he has done the sumo thing in the scholastic world. He started work In a brickyard, bat tled his way to an education, and through that became the head of Washington university. At the ago of twelve ho started out to paddle his own ennoe nnd three years later moved from Now Jersey to Illinois, where he worked on a farm. The struggle was n hard one, but he won. Puts Auto Above Railroad. A recent Investigation by n nntlonnl automobile organization brings out strikingly the Increasing importance of the place that the nutomobllo fills In America today. According to thc re sults of this Investigation, pnssqnger nutomoblles do ntore pnsscngcr-cn fry ing work, measured In miles per per son, than all the railroads of tho Unit ed States put together.

Aged Servants in Washington Are Awarded Prizes HAVING lived In Washington for 01 years, and not having been downtowr In the lost 40 years, Is tho strange record of Theresa Harper, eighty seven years old, as revenled at a meeting of the Federation of Women's Clubs, when tho prizes were nwarded in the domestic servants' contest. She was awarded a diploma and first prize of $10 for having served the most number of years ns a servant In one family. She Is now In the house of George Clifford Bonrmnn, and has been In the Bnarmnn family since sho was n child.

When the Residents of the Capital Go Skating WASHINGTON on Ice Is u very giddy Washington. It is not the Washing ton of broad-brimmed senators, frock-coated representatives and tailor niaile diplomats, but a grand, whirling, gliding Washington of youngsters from eight years old to eighty.

When Washington goes out to skate the population of the city appears to be made up of a tremendous number of very pretty girls. That Is un Inter esting proposition to start off with. Wherever thero Is Ice there Is also Mabel und Maud and Clarlsse and all the rest, followed persistently by a large timb of very sporty-looking and proficient youths who really think tliey have gone out to skate but vho are following the eternal feminine as blindly and as slavishly ns did their parents long before them. There Is alw;; s on view tho brave young man who seems to he stuck with wall flower at dances and upper berths on hot nights on trnl:.s, and whose ski'Mng career seems to be limited to tenehlng two very heavy ladles how to do the simplest maneuvers on lie. With n heavy beauty on either side of him, his whole afternoon Is spent In fulling first on one and then on tho other, varied only when one or both of them fall on him. Tho Chevy Chase and zoo ponds have what seems to be the same emwd continuously through the few days of skating In Washington, but whenever the basin fifezes over, then, Indeed, Is the Washington sinter In the seventh heaven of d"llght.
