8 ® ASKS PERMISSION T0 DROP BUS LINE Transit Company Declares It Loses Money on Rhode Island Avenue Route. Aandonment of its Rhode Island avenue bys line was requested by the Washington Rapid Transit Company fn a letter received by the public utilities commission toda The bus company several weeks ago asked the commission for an in crease from 8§ to 10 cents in the rate of fare and was turned down. company does not mention rejection of the appeal for higher fare.in connection with its request to drop the Rhode Island avenue line. The application does state, ever, that this branch of its system is being operated at a loss. The method used by the commission in fixing the company’s depreciation reserve, also is given as a reason for the present move. Walter C. Allen, executive secretary to the, commission, will confer today or early next weel with the Com- missioners to determine whether a public hearing should be proposed amendment. Xtract from Company's Letter, The company’s letter stated tha “from June 1, 192 to July 31, the total net loss to the com operating t line has been $7.557 At no time has it shown a profit. et loss in June, 1923, was i , $950.13, and it is evident that it cannot be operated at a profit.” Experience in the operation of pub- lie motor passenger vehicles has been limited.” “the statement continued, “but those engaged in this service are S d th the comparatively short of & bus, the long number of Rours which it is in op tion, il the constant re irs and repla ents necessary to enable it to perform its public service, will necessarily v quire a_different rule to be adopted in determining what should be set aside for depri ation nd what hould be allowed for mainten and repairs over that which at present in force. The company ear- nestly believes that a study of this question will result in the sion permitting the charge all repairs and replacements upon busses in_service to operating expenses, and allowing it to set aside in a depreciation reserve a fu ficfent at the expiration of the actua service life of the bus, to purchs new Bus, crediting whatever may recovered in the sale or disposition of the old bus.

BALTIMORE, Md., September 1. —German marks, offered at a rate of 10,000 for 10 cents, are being peddled by a street vender in Bal- timore's shopping district. According to Theodore H. Die- ner, a dealer in foreign money, his firm yesterday had sold 10,000,000 marks for $40, or 10,000 for 4 cents This would permit a profit of & cents on each 10,000 sold for 10 cents, he pointed out. The present rate of exchange quotes the falling currency of the German republic at about 9,000,- 000 to the dollar. His hands filled with paper marks of high denomination, the vender weaved his way among the shoppers of Lexington street, but for a period of about fifteen min- utes he had not sold one “thin dime's worth.” PRECAUTN TRGED T0 SAVE CHLDREN Beginning Monday the Washington Safety Council will gisplay through- out the city posters bearing the slo- gan, “Drivers, parents — protect the children on the streets.” Thirteen children have been killed thus far this year on the stre roads of the District. A similar post- er will be displayed at the same time {by~the Baltimore Safety Council, in which city there have been twenty- one children killed this year. By the wording of the posters, the { safety councils do not place the entire blame for children's accidents on the drivers of vehicles, but emphasize the responsibility of the parents. It is the duty of every driver to use particular care and kee his vehicle under constant control wherever chil- dren are ving, pecially near hool buildings or playgrounds. Th average child knows very little cou- cerning traffic rules, and when play ing on the street or sidewalk is fre- quently unmindful of anything but its play. A ball rolling out in the street, or a game of catcher may cause a little one to dars directly jn front of a moving vehicle. b It is equally the duty of every par- ent to teach children the hazards of the streets, and to encourage them to safe places. Safety lessons taught to young children help them to form safety habits, which will be lasting when they grow to manhood or womanhood. The following practices most fre- quently result in serious injuries to children: Running after a ball, hook- ing a ride, riding a bicycle in a care- less manner, coasting on sleds and roller skating.
