Instead of saying these members would be elected by countries which are members of the council of the League of tions, plus the United States, they agreed to say “countries which are members of the council, with one country representing the non-members of the league.” This formula was proposed by Mr. Porter officlally to the sub-commis- sion which is siudying the functions of the board, but Dr. Eckert, the German deleagte, submitted an amendment to the effect that two states, instead of one, should repre- sent the countries outside the league. He said that Germany should cer- tainly have an expert on the central board and thought that the best way of assuring this was for his country to be included in the nomina- tion group. Dr. Eckert was assum- Ing that the United States and Ger- many would be the two states choser to voice the views of the non-mem- bers of the league. After varlous speakers had empha- that the system proposed by orter left the fleld fairly open for Germany, both on the nominating group and on the board itself, the rman amendment was rejected, Germany alone voting in its favor.

STOKES SAMMONS, Propri g T | —_—" $1.00 $1.25 $1.00 $1L75 $2.00 $1.75 These Are the Facts ! | On December 12th, 1924, The Washington Rapid Transif Company filed with the Public Utilities Commission an application for permit to operate a cross=town bus line over the fol- lowing route: Beginning at 37th and T Streets N.W., South to S Street, East to 35th, South to Q, East via Q Street and Massachusetts Avenue to 21st, South via 2Ist, New Hampshire Avenue and 22nd Street to K Street, East to 13th Street, South to H Street, East to Massa- chusetts Avenue to First Street N.E., South to B Street, East to Maryland Avenue to 15th Street, N.E,, and returning over the same route. Jhe PALAIS ROYAL G & 1Ith Sts. Service and Courtesy Established 1877 Darfain Basement On January 14th, 1925, The Washington Railway & Electric Company filed with the Public Utilities Commission an application to operate a bus line over the following route: Beginning at 37th and S Streets N.W., East to 35th Street, South to Q, East via Q Street and Massachusetts Avenue to 20th Street, South to K Street, East to 13th Street, South to E Street and East to 10th Street N.W. Returning North on 10th Street to K, West on K Street to 20th, thence over the same route. The application of The Washington Railway & Electric Company for this line has as its final paragraph the following: “It is doubtful whether such a line would be remunerative, but we are willing to inaugurate this service with the understanding that after it has been in opera- tion three months, when data should be available relative to its patronage, the Commission will view its operation and modify the rates of fare as the facts warrant.” On Friday, January 23d, 1925, béfore a Senate committee, Mr. W. F. Ham, President of The Washington Railway & Electric Company, said, in effect, that the application filed by his Company was filed simply in self-defense. A real cross-town bus line will give a service Washington has badly needed for years. The fares to be charged by the respective campanies are Washington Rapid Transit Com pany, cash fare, 10c; 5 tokens for 45c, free transfers to any of its existing lines. Washington Railway & Electric Company, cash fare, 8c; 6 tokens for 40c, transfers issued to cash-fare passengers to any of its existing lines upon payment of 2c additional; no transfers issued on token payments. The Washington Rapid Transit Company is the pioneer in bus transportation in Washing- ton. As a result of the experience gained in its four years of operation, the organization is furnishing a thoroughly up-to-the-minute service. It hauls about four million passengers per year. It is.a purely local enterprise, organized and managed by Washington business men. It is now standardizing its present lines with the most modern type of de luxe coaches and all new routes will have this type of equipment. These standard coaches have every device for safety and comfort known to the automotive world such as Westinghouse air brakes, Gruss air’ springs, rubber insulated shock absorbers, long wheel base, long expansion springs, etc. During the recent snow storm the coaches of the Washington Rapid Transit Company main- tained a one-hundred per cent service. (Did anything else?) One of its slogans is “No snow too deep; no hill too steep.” The Washington Rapid Transit Company has never had a serious accident, nor has one of its coaches ever struck a pedestrian on the streets. On Wednesday, February 4th, at 10 a.m. the Public Utilities Commission will hold a public hearing for the purpose of ascertaining such facts as will assist it in determining which, if either, of the above lines should be established. 300 Beautiful Fur-Trimmed COATS Not half the early Season Prices!
