CITIZENS GRITICIZE BUS LINE PERMIT Petworth Group Opposes Grant,to W. R. E. Co. Against Syme Suit. The derision of the Public Utilities Commission in granting the Washing- ton Railway and El Company permission to operate a bus line from Thirty-seventh and T streets despite the earlier petition of the Washington Rapid Transit Company is not for the Dbest interest of the people of Wash- ington, the Petworth Citizens' Asso- clation declared in resolutions adopted at a meeting in the Masonic Temple, Georgia avenue and Upshur street, last night. The resolution advoca the abol- ishment of the 4 per cent tax on gross incomes of the street railway com- panies and that crossing policemen should be regular members of the Metropolitan force and pald as are other policemen. The pay of cross- ing policemen and the 4 per cent tax, it was stated, are merely an indirect method of taxation, the public who ride eventually paying all expenses. The Federation of Citizens' Associa- tions will be asked to rescind its ac- tion in permitting its representative 1o represent the federation as favor- ing the street car companies for bus extension, and the Public Utilities Commission will be requested to re- voted to filed by Conrad Syme for the p of more than §44,000 for counsel fees in connection with the return of the Pepco impounded fund to the con- sumers. It was said that the fee al- ready paid to Mr. Syme was sufficient, compared with the size of the refund Want Teachers Added. Regular drawing and music teach- ers are to be requested of the Board of Education for the Petworth schools. 1t was pointed out that with 1,100 pupils in 39 classes in Petworth there are no regular instructors in these arts. The association reiterated its previous action favoring the election of members of the Board of Educa- tion by citizens of the District. Con- gress was asked not to permit matters affecting the District to go through the Budget Bureau. Resolutions were adopted protest- ing against the proposed locating of a storeroom on Sherman Circle, and the Zoning Commission will be urged to withold the permit. The associa- tion voted approval of the Jones Sunday-closing bill and disapproval of Commissioner Bell's proposal for a $358,000 fund for snow-removing equipment and labor. Jesse C. Suter, president of the Federation of Citi- zens' Associations, was invited to ad- dress the association at its next meet- ing. H. Milloff, Charles I Ott, Nathan Peck and Alfred Wood were elected to membership. President T. S. Tincher presided.

DELHI COLONY, Calif., February 18.—California’s second State land settlement, the Delbi Colony, has re- sulted in a band of disheartened far- mers who place their only hope in remedial legislation affecting pay- ment on their places and an appro- priation of $250,000 to make neces- sary improvements. The colonists who settled from Middle Western and tern States under a plan sponsored and indorsed by the State through its land settle- ment board, headed by Dr. Elwood ad, father of the land colonization plan in the United States, yesterday laid thefr story of hardship and disaster before a legislative com- | mittee.

The committee stopped at the farm of G. C Peterson, another farmer from Iowa, who came to Delhi and took over 31 acres. He paid $270 an acre for the raw land, installed the irrigation pipes in hi flelds, leveled and checked the land and bullt a house. It “stands him” $475 an acre thus improved, he said. Peterson has listed his land for sale, and Is ready to quit, he told the committee. . He owes the Federal Land Bank $3,000 and the State $7,000. He has not been able to pay the interest on his State loan. The committee passed many vacant homes, abandoned by farmers who had found the game too hard. 7 Freed in Infant Deaths Probe.

America’s immigrafion problem has been definitely settled by the operation of the new immigration restriction law, Senator Reed of Pennsylvania, Republican, told the Senate yesterday. He reviewed the results of the first half year of its operation. Frowning upon suggestions for modification of the law, he declared NOE at our . G st.store it had accomplished the three pur- poses Intended by bringing about a more uniform distribution of immi- gration through the year; apportion- ment of quotas more in accordance with the make-up of the Nation, and drastic reduction of the number of arrivals. ““What was a distinct menace of the influx of a million Europeans an- nually into this country,” he said, “has dwindled to a problem of about 20,000 Mexicans entering. He gave little credence to reports of excessive smuggling of immigrants over the borders, and urged that no relaxation of regula.ions be ailowed in favor of aliens stranded in Euro- pean ports, even though they may hold visaed passports. Senator Copeland, Democrat, New York, interjected that about 10,000 alfens were stranded In foreign ports, awalting entry into this country after payiug $10 each to have their pass- ports visaed, and he demanded that something be done to relieve the situ- ation. Senator Reed replied that if any- thing were to be done, it should be the refunding of the $10 fee. “Say it with money, not with citi- zenship,” he added. LOS ANGELES TO SAIL.

Hudson, because For Ten Years the World’s Greatest Buy Hudson’s position as the world’s greatest value is not merely a new attainment. For ten years the Super-Six has stood alone in mechanical supremacy. Basic patents have kept others from copying its motor. The smoothness and long life it gives are exclusive. No motor has yet ‘equaled the Super-Six in smoothness and long, economical car life. A Leadership Never Disputed of the simplicity of the Super-Six, has always enjoyed manufacturing advantages that permitted a lower selling price than is possible with more complicated types. That, in part, accounts for its leadership for the World’s Greatest Value. You hear everyone speak of To many that Hudson value. means lower first to be found elsewhere. Hudson was first by monthsto give closed %ar comforts at exactly open car cost. To hundreds of owners, Hudson value means the most economical service in operation and maintenance. No ten years as cost than is of thousands 5-Pass. $1795 Delivered Price, $1,925. HUDSON COACH $1345 Delivered_Price, $1,450. SEDAN car ever built has equaled Hudson’s record in that respect.

And while those cars of a decade ago still creditably account for themselves, today’s Hudson, improved in 7-Pass. 51895 Delivered Price, $2,030. many ways, is smoother, more lasting and more economical. No wonder, then, that when Hudson value is spoken, all wanted qualities are included. Hudson is the World’s Greatest Value, because it has always provided better looks and more comfort at less money.
