I His Soul Goes Marching On is fitting on this occagion of Washing- ton's Birthday to pause a moment to summarize the blessings we in America en- joy. qIt is an easy thing, and a very bad ing, to magnify our troubles, and to min- imize our blessings. {Let us be thankful e Sos ey the i of e Loty i to enjoy the fruits of whiche;:gs concjzivedand won by Washing- ton and his associates. Let us live every day with the thought well in mind that it is our duty to hand down to our children and our children’s children a full measure of the privileges we enjoy,and this can be done onlyegy killing any influences which attempttothrottlethe growth of American- ism, and all that it stands for.

Bewarel THE . EVENING STAR; WASHINGTON, D.- C, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 21. 1921. = 11035 T0 RAILROADS | - GAUSED ISCLAIM R..J. De Long of the Penneyl- vania Opposes Interchange- able Tickets to Baltimore. The interchangeable feature of tickets between Washington and Bal- timore on the Pennsylvania and Bal- timore and Ohio railroads is the only example of interchangeable tickets left in the United States, and should be abolished as a matter of equity for both roads, R. J. De Long of the Pennsylvania railroad has stated to en examiner for the Interstate Com- merce Commission. Because considerable time is re- quired by conductors to check up on the use of such interchangeable tick- ets the roads do not always get a fair estimate of the number of such tick- ets used and consequently are not able to collect charges paid for every passenger, Mr. De Long declared. Ap- plication for elimination of the inter- changeable feature of tickets be tween Washington and Baltimore i now under consideration by the com- mission. Mr. De Long traced the history of the interchangeable feature from its inception in 1918 and said it was brought about by mutual agreement between the two roads concerned dur- ing the period of federal .control of the railroads to stop overcrowding on trains. Mr. De Long said frequency of train service between Washington and Baltimore on the Pennsylvania does not require use of the traiins of another road. He did not say what effect similar service by the Baltimore and Ohio would have on rates of the Pennsylvania. C. J. Weber, solicitor for the Balti- more and_Ohio, appeared for the Merchants and Manufacturers' | Association of Baltimore, viously filed a claim for suspension of the application to remove the in- terchangeability feature, which was allowed by the commission. — FORMER NAVY OFFICERS TO MEET PRESENT FORCE Personnel Scheduled for Tomorrow.
