As the science and its application to our commercial affairs develop the ad- ministrative problems connected there- with likewise become more serious and more complicated. The primary purpose in assembling such a repre- sentative group is to follow out the Commerce Department’s fundamental policy of secking to ascertain from those most interested and best quali- fled opinions as to what the Federal Government can and should do In the best interests of the public and the aeronautical industry.” The conference will mark the first year of air commerce regulation by the Government's new bureau.

CAS?V!LLE, Ark.—The president, general manager and - engineer of Cassville & Rxeter Railwiy stand .On equal footing and wear the same kind of overalls. Democracy is com- plete, for in Dave Dingler they are one and the same person. Dingler owns half the stock and the other is the property of James C. Ault. former banker and now secretary of the road. Mrs. Dingler is vice presi- dent and Mrs. Ault is treasurer. The railroad is one of the shortest in the United States, with only 4 9-10 miles of track. Only six persons, in- cluding the sectlon crew, are employ- ed. The president, general manager and engineer keeps the engine in re- pair. The conductor paints and re- pairs the passenger coach. In the morning Mary Ann, the engine, runs an all-passenger train to Exeter. There she is uncoupled and put to escorting freight cars down the line. But the little passenger coach does not worry. It returns to Cass- , ville of its own volition, for the termi- nal at Exeter is 196 feet higher than the Cassville station. The road claims a greater tonnage of fruit and berries per rail mile than any other line in the State. As Bert Anderson, the fireman, expresses it: *“You can say what vou please about this being the shortest line in Amer- joa: She’ll carry anything that rolls on rails.” Dingler, 83 years old, now is presi- dent of the county bank. He owned the first telephone system in the town. He lives in an attractive home and has a trout farm in the xearby hills, but as president, general manager and engineer of the Cassville & Exeter, he still wears overalls, FIND CHILD ON DOORSTEP. Baby, One Month Old, Held at De- tention Home. Police are endeavoring to determine the parentage of a baby girl, appar- ently about 1 month old, found aban- doned and crying lustily early this morning on the doorstep at 225 K street southwest “The infant, clad neatly and wrapped in a plaid blanket, was discovered by Charles Cross, colored marketmen, 2251 K street southwest, as he left to go to work at 4 o'clock this morn. ing. He called his mother, Mrs. Sophle Cross, and the two were sur. ving their unexpected guest when Mrs. Marle McCoy, colored, 2231 K Btreet, appeared, roused by its crying and thinking at first that it was her own child. Mrs. McCoy quieted the child and then took it to No. 4 precinct. Police at the station house, unused to nurs- ing babies, transferred the baby to the House of Detention and began an in- vestigation this morning to find its parents.

WASHINGTON, REG’LAR FELLERS—Too Bad Nobody Knows. PEPCO TO RELOCATE AT ITS OWN EXPENSE Bride Holds Company Responsible for Cost of Vacating Com- merce Department Site. The Potomac Electric Power Co. will have to bear the cost of removing or relocating its service mains on the site of the new Department of Com- merce Building, according to an opin- jon submitted to the Public Utilities Commission yesterday by Corporation Counsel William W. Bride. The opinion was sought by the com- mission as the result of a query from the company as to whether it would be liable for the expense in connec- tion with the removal or diverting of certain service lines. The company has estimated that the work will cost approximately $4,000. Mr. Bride based his opinion on a de- cision of the Supreme Court in the case of the New Orleans Gas Co. vs. the Drainage Commission, which, he pointed out, has been followed by the local courts in similar litigation. His decision will have a far-reaching ef- fect, it is belleved, as it probably will apply to all underground construction of the utility corporations in the Penn- sylvania avenue-Mall triangle. Officials of the company declined to comment on Mr. Bride's opinion pend- ing the receipt of an official copy from the commission. —. Prisoners May Work Streets.
