ENROLLING MORE BOYS THAN GIRLS BREAKS RECORD OF WESTERN HIGH ‘Western High School was dubbed about twenty years ago as the “Female Seminary” because few boys, bashful as they were in those days, dared enter its portals. It was almost an exclusive girls' in- stitution. But times have changed. This year, for the first time in ‘Western’s history, there are more boys than girls enrolled in the school. And feminine charm is taking its share of the credit for this reco; ‘When Dr. Elmer 8. Newton, prin- cipal of the school, compiled his enrollment figures today he dis- covered that the boys predominate . by nineteen. In other words there are 441 boys and 422 girls listed. CRUISER WILL BE NAMED FOR VIRGINIA’S CAPITAL Swift Scout Ship Christened Rich- mond to Be Launched at Phila- . delphia ¥Yard Tomorrow. Another vessel bearing the name of Richmond will be added to the Ameri- can Navy tomorrow, when, from the Cramp yards at Philadelphia, scout cruiser No. 9 will be launched and christened in honor of the capital of the state of Virginia. The new crulser, which will be one of the swiftest of any navy, will be christened by Miss Elizabeth Strother Scott of Afton, Va., at ceremonies which Secretary Denby and other high Navy officials have been invited to attend. The new vessel will take the place on the naval register made vacant by the retirement in 1905 of the old steam sloop' Richmond. The old Richmond was a historic craft, having been placed in commis- sion in 1862 and immediately assigned to the west gulf blockading squadron at the passage of the forts below New Orleans. She later engaged in opera- tions on the Mississippi and was & part of Admiral Farragut's forces at Mobile bay. After the war and until 1890 she was attached to the South Atlantic.station. The new Richmond is designed to develop a speed of more than thirty: three knots, is slightly more than 555 feet long—approximately as long as the Washington Monument is high— has a breadth at the water line of 55 feet, and carries a main battery ol twelve 6-inch guns, two 3-inch an aircraft guns and other smaller gu! in addition to two torpedo tubes. CHURCH COMMITTEE CALLS AT WHITE HOUSE A_committee representing the Fed- eral Council of the Churches of Christ in America called at the White House yesterday. It informed President Hard- ing of its program incident to the proposed reduction of armament and presented to him suggestions deemed by the council as important in re- gard to the coming conference for the limitation of armament. The committes was headed by Dr. John H. Findlay of New York, chairman of the council, and included Willlam Knowles Cooper and Rev. E. 0. Wat- son of this city. Accompanying the committee were Rev. Charles S. Mac- farland, general secretary of the council; Rev. Sidney L. Gulick of New York, Rev. Adolph Keller, Euro- pean representative of the council, and Arthur E. Hungerford of Balti- more, The suggestions conveyed to the President were decided on at a meet- ing in Washington early this month by the administrative committee of the council. The President told the committee that he was in hearty sympathy with the movement among the churches of America as it is being fostered by the council. He said he would take under serious consideration the sug- gestions presented to him.~ —_——— LEAVES FUNDS TO CHARITY Mrs. Julia A. La Bille Put Be- quests in Her Will. The will of Mrs. Julia A.

It is the magnificent Capital of the world’s greatest country snd therefore even the very best is nome too good. 80 in the installation of our original motor bus service our entire aim at all times was to render the very finest motor bus service in the world. Certainly the spontaneous manner in which Washington responded must mean that we more than made good. During the first six months alone we carrisd over 760,000 paseengers! Think of that for s showing! And all this at a time when Washington was st its lowest ehb—when thousands were out of the city. 80 successful has been the service and so fnsistent have Deen the public for additional routes that we have decided to expand the system just as fast as possible. But this time tnstead of letting the residents of Wash- ington share only in the benefits of the expanded system weo are going to let them share-also in the profits of the com~ peny itself. We have done all the original work—all the experimental work. It has been customary in other cities to offer stock for sale even before one bus appeared in the street. Our plan has just been reversed. ‘We put in & complete motor bus system, tried it out fog six months, proved its great benefits, proved its profits and are more than convinced that the people of Washington will not be satisfied until they have a motor bus system running on every thoroughfare of the city. We wonder 1f you folks have ever stopped to realizs the enormous profits-in & properly managed, well organised mo- tor bus systsm. Weo have that in Washington. We are properly organised. So now, as we expand you can.readily visualize what our enormous business should be. In fact, with our expanded program in the next six months we should carry over two million passengers. Think what the profits should be! In New York City buses carry over 40,000,000 passen- gers annually. hanmflmb‘mmm tion of real and very attractive. profits. - T nmammo-umm»wm-mmm w.um;l.ooo,oo.oum outstanding securities. of Washingten The Chicago bus lines are meeting with stmflar success. In Detroit the bus lines are now carrying ever 1,000,000 passengers a month, Now we have 14 motor buses in operation. On account of the growing popularity of this splendid motor bus service the Federal Utilities Commission has granted us two new franchises which require the installa- tion of these additional buses. First route, starting from Eighth and Pennsylvania to Twéith Street, to Massachusetts Avenue, to Sixteenth Street Northwest, to Harvard Street, to Thirteenth Street, to Park Road, to New Hampshire Avenue, to Grant Circle and return -(Petworth Division). Second route, starting at Bighth and Pennsylvania Ave- nue, to Twelfth, to Rhode Island Avenus, to North Capitol . Btrest and return. .In order to properly put into operation these additional buses and expand the service we have had to increase the capital of the operating company. This eorporation is primarily the people’s line. It gives you pleasure, service and accommodation, theretore, why should it not give you profits also? S0 instead of getting additional capital by going to some brokerage house and letting them underwrite the stock at a big premium, we are offering it to the pubdlic—to you— direct, with all these extravagant expenses eliminated. ' The company is capitalized at $500,000.00. The stock is all common—§10 per share—$10 par value. Remember, no stock until October 34 But get your order in. now.
