A vast work project on which the From midnight to dawn they ride, while drivers of the Ceorgia avenue Capital Transit owl bus line fume and late SBaturday night workers com- plain and stand up on the tiresome ride home. 1t is » regular occurrence, this early Sunday morning joy-ride by the younger set of Southwest Washing- day, are easy to obtain. Often they are discarded Saturday night by the regular riders, who purchase new ones at the beginning of the week, Others may be had for the asking. * At any rate, some 150 young col- ored men and boys manage to obtain them for & weekly excursion, which is proving & source of considerable embarrassment to Capital Transit Co. officials. ‘When the first bus arrives at Sixth nd reets southwest, about 12:40 a.m., the joy-riders are waiting. Into the bus they pour until all the seats are filled. Each displays a pass. The hotter the weather the larger the crowd. Even during the Winter, how- ever, are quite a number, Last Bunday one of the three drivers on the owl line decided something Just had to be done. His regular passen- gers had been complaining. “You know I leave Sixth and Water at 12:41," he sald. “Mine is the first bus. When the crowd got on I told them it wasn't fair to other passeng- ers that they should crowd the bus as they do. But they insisted on get- ting on anyway, so I suggested in nice & way a8 I could that they ride only as far as the District line and get another bus on the return trip. “When we got to the end of the line I made them all get out.” The driver said the Sunday morn- ing joy riding has been going on since the Transit Co. began issuing passes. All three of the owl busses on the Georgia avenue line suffer from the pass riders, who range from small boys to youths of 22 or 23 years. These hot Summer nights, the joy riders hang on until the last trip, enjoying the cool breezes which aweep operation and are replaced by street cars. Once before, the Capital Transit Co. had trouble with pass joy riders. But then it was children who would travel all day Sunday on the special 25-cent passes issued for the Sabbath. Pinally that situation got so bad the Sunday pesses were discontinued. 2,000,000 See Movies.

NANKING, July 17 (#).—Bullets from the rifle muzzles of prowling ban- dits have threatened to end the mercy flights of an American pilot, Julian Barr, into the flooded Hankow area, according to reports reaching here yesterday. On a recent flight to drop food into villages of starving inhabitants iso- lated by flood waters the fuselage of the plane was perforated by bullets, it was reported. Coast and Geodetic Survey has been engaged for three years collecting basic data of incalculable value for engineering operations all over the United States is threatened with abandonment on August 1 due to 8 reported denial of funds by Harry L. Hopkins, works progress director, growing out of a dispute over the rate of pay. If the program dies, 2,500 men will be thrown out of work, 400 of them here, and some of the work already completed will be valueless. The trouble rests in the restrictions thrown about use of the work-relief | funds with which it was proposed to | carry on the project, which those con- cerned with it say cannot be aplied feasibly in this instance. The crux is this: About 60 per cent of the men on the project are college- trained, many with enginheering de- grees and experiente. The pay for the i Washington staff is running from | $1,600 to $1,800 annually. In the | field, the average for both trained and untrained is about $115 monthly. Relief Wage Scale. | Under the work - relief set-up, & “top” of $94 would be allowable for | the skilled and $55 for the unskilled, monthly, is prescribed by executive order. Further, the average for all, | including overhead or operating cos.s | per man-——this would bring in mate- | rials also—is about $1,143 annually. When the Commerce Department asked for $5,000.000 for the work for another year, at the present rate of expenditure, the National Emergency ~ | Council is reported to have sent back the application with . flat denial but with a request f( ossible revision and resubmission.” This was traced to Hopkins' insistence on the $1,143 cost unit, for it is felt that if the sur- vey pay rates had complied with those in the executive order, the allotment would not have been questioned. Paradoxically, the survey program, which was designed to give work to engineers, faces another stumbling block in the terms of the work relief | executive order which provides that 90 per cent of those employed under | the $4.880.000000 grant must come| from relief rolls. Very few, if any, of the survey workers were on relief.

It was pointed out that the work ihls been conducted in a very eco- | nomical manner, costs running from | | 10 to 12 per cent below those in former | years for comparable work. Employes for the most part are living away from home, naturally increasing subsistence | costs. Economical ¢ Pure, Wholesome! Shaving . . .
