are hoping to materially increase this
number. They believe the parents will
be glad for their boys to enter the scouts.

they will gain. but also because the Boy

No Bills Endorsed.

No name was given the organization,
although several were suggested, and one
even adopted for moment, though the
vote was reconsidered afterward. The
feeling of most of those present that
they could not aid in the organization
of new association without instructions
from their associations caused the recon
sheraton, and the question was left to
the executive committee.
Though the purpose of the organization
is to secure universal transfers, 1t de-
clined to go on record last night as ia
voring any of the bills on the subject
which had been laid before it. The ma
jority of those present believed that a
careful examination of the merits OF
these bills should be made before any
measure was adopted as the bill for
which the fight should be made. Alfred
Il. Wood one of the attorneys selected
by Chaplin Brown. chairman of the mu-
nicipal legislation committee of the Cham
Der of Commerce, to represent the cham
Der in this night, advised against the Sc
lection of any one bill without careful
Consideration. and this view prevailed.
The meeting was opened by Charles w.
Darr, who declared that there were a
few persons in the District who were
opposed to universal transfers-the rail-
road people.
Let Congress investigate the ability
of the roads to give universal transfers,
and then get behind a bill and enact 1t
into law" said Mr.. Darr.
Martin Dodge, who was introduced as
the man who had secured the passage of
legislation in Ohio requiring the traction
company of Cleveland to bring into the
center of the city the suburban cars, de-
clared that in the end the street car
companies in Cleveland had been bene-
fitted by legislation reducing rates and
increasing the facilities for travel be-

NEW HYDRO-AEROP'LANE
GETS AN OCEAN TEST
Wilmer Makes a Successful
Demonstration Before Large
Crowd at Atlantic City.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., October 3D.
C. C. Wilmer, one of the Curtiss flyers
gave yesterday afternoon the first ocean
test Of the new hydro-aeroplane here be.
fore a crowd estimated at 10000. The
fight started from the beach. out atol

element, the Sand Burr II. local speed
boat, engaged in several spectacular
brushes with the aeroplane, the latter be-
ing victor every time.
Wilmer twice narrowly missed disaster
during his first flight. but three attempts
within an hour were accomplished with
wonderful dexterity.
Water Soaks His Canvas.
Starting from the beach, Wilmer was
soon skimming along like a speed boat
making forty miles an hour. After get

After travelling a half mile through the
atmosphere he made a good landing or

1t was while making this turn that one
of the pontoons used as rudders dipped
too deep in the waves. The plane Ca
reened far over. The canvas became

federal life-saving crew rushed to the
aviator's assistance. but he refused help.
Crowd Cheers Maneuvers.
BY this time the hydro had drifted
within easy calling distance Of the pier
The spectators could see Wilmer crawl
carefully from his seat, after starting his
propeller; then, steering with his right
hand, he threw one leg over support

EXPLAINS EXISTING LAWS
Alfred E. Wood Tells Gathering at
Rooms of Chamber of Commerce
What Must Be Done.
ORGANIZATION IS FORMED


city-wide and united campaign for
universal transfers on the street car lines
| of the District was launched last night
| at a meeting of representatives of the
| District Commissioners, the Chamber of
Commerce, many of the citizens associa-
| tons. the Central Labor Union, the Co
lumbia Typographical Union, the Retail
Merchants Association and the Washing
ton Ad Club at the Chamber of Com
merce.
One Of the most important announce
ments, from the point of view Of the
friends of the movement, was a state
ment by P. j. Ryan. representing the
Central Labor Union. that appeals were
to be made by his organization to every
other central labor organization in the
country to get busy and indorse uni
versal transfers in the National Capital
and throw their influence with the move
ment By this means every member of
Congress may be reached in his home
district.
A tentative organization was formed.
Charles w. Darr was elected permanent
chairman; George Seibod of the Typo
graphical Union, vice chairman: George
Cali. secretary, and j. jacob, treasurer.
An executive committee of seven was pro-
vided for, to be appointed by the chair
man.
There was some opposition to the for
nation of a new organization on the
ground that already constituted Organi-
cations. such as the Chamber of Com
merce, the citizens associations and the
labor organizations were carrying on the
fight, and there might be conflict and
duplication Of work. Others took the
stand that, while they had been sent to
the meeting by their associations. the
purpose had merely been for a confer
ence, and they were without any instruc-
tons about committing their organizations
to a part in the new organization. 1t was
explained, however, that the new organi-
zation was to be only temporary. and
that it would die natural death at the
close of the fight for which it was
formed unless some other measure for
the benefit of the District should con-
tinue it.

PR|MA DONNA, FOE
OF GLOOM, MAKES
WHOLE SHOW HAPPY
FRITZ Won Busing, of Aborn
Opera Company, Phi
losophizes.
No oIgloom for FRITZ Won Busing!

No gloom for FRITZ Won Busing!
That cheerful and melodious prtma
donna of the Aborn English Grand OPP
era Company gives it no part in her
philosophy. The words youthful and
useful mean so nearly the same to her
that when she says them in her hsping
way one fancies she is -punning.
BE young; be blithe," is the advice
Miss Won Busing gives herself and her
friends. Make people glad they are hv-
ing-and glad you are, too.
Stay young while you may. People
just starting life can give to others hope
and courage almost unlimited Miss
Won Busing asserted in voice that
reminded her auditor that she could
sing. It's a virtue to be young and
blithe and gay and sprightly.
How to Be Disliked.
Il remember a woman" said Miss
Won Busing. VINO was with the Aborn
company one season. She made herself
thoroughly disliked by sounding signals
of distress and dispensing gloom in very
large packages. One day she accidental
ly overheard two of the members of
the company talking rather harshly Of
her propensity for spreading gloom.
She came to me very indignant about
It, and it required some courage on my
part to point out to her that the very
best thing for her to do was to profit
by what she had heard.
Keep on Reading.
This woman had the courage to ad-
NIT her fault, and determined TO over
come It. She began by reading only
the most cheerful literature and con-
centrated her thoughts on pleasant sub
jects, when she found her old habit of
talking in an unhappy strain coming
back she turned to bright subjects.
Mature itself rewarded her by taking
the sallowness from her complexion, the
sullen lines disappeared from between
her eyes, and she became fairly buoyant
instead of dull and tiresome.
1T does not cost any more to be
cheerful, and II is worth while; gather
in all the available supply of cheerful
ness possible, keep it on hand, and radi-
ate it to your friends on all possible
occasions"

Eix:no In the Horse

If you had a highly intelligent thor oughbred horse to which you were greatly attached. what would you do for him in order to bring him to the highest point of efficiency?
 Would you teach him. at great incon- venience and after many repetitions, to smoke from ten to fifteen cigars a day. and would you mix with his oats all the way from a pint to a quart of alcohol? Would you re-enforce this by overlooking his stomach with highly Spiced food and add all the narcotics that were in the market, such as tea. coffee. etc? Would you keep him in l heated stable without any fresh air, make him sit up at all hours of the night and permit all the veterinarians ln the neighborhood to hold consulta- rions and operate upon him as often is they needed the money?
 And if you did all this, what sort of T race would you expect that horse to win Life.
