merce commission for relief in the matter

dress by Representative Robert Crosser
Of Ohio, on Government Ownership OF

roads were merely public highways for
the convenience of the people, and should
be operated by the people. He spoke of
the fight waged by the late Mayor Tom
johnson of Cleveland for three-cent
fare and universal transfers in that CITY,
and showed a number of three-cent TICK
cts now in use.

SECONDARY SCHOOLS LISTED.
Guide Prepared by the United States
Bureau of Education.

Because Of the fact that a thousand
miles counts for little nowadays. and
that the principal of a high school in
San Francisco. Denver or Seattle is like
ly to be called on at any time in admit
ting new students to pass on the stand
ards and standing of secondary schools
in Maiden, Mass: Sumter. s. c.; San
Antonio Tex, or any other place, the
United States buBeau Of education has
prepared an accredited list Of secondary
schools In the country.
Both public and private schools are
represented on the list. which is intend
ed mainly as a guide to school and col
lege officers in admitting students to adj
vanced high school standing or to col
lege. Incidentally 1t reveals the marked
Improvement which has taken place OF
recent years in secondary education In
the United States. Owing to the rapid
changes in high schools and widely vary
ing types of schools, ranging from the
extreme classical to the extreme voca-
tional, the desirability of national list,
which is compilation of state and Sec
tional lists made up chiefly from the va
rious certification lists maintained by
the states, was felt.

many Of the stores where Hebrew cards
Of greeting are sold, make the matter to

1t was further stated that even without

show that 1t was good and strong. and
then took it up and resumed their march

MANY CITY RESIDENTS
SEEKING NEW HOMES
Moving Day Makes Business
for the Transfer Compa-
MES Every Year.

Why does a certain percentage of
Washington residents move regularly
every year? That is a psychological or
sociological or some other kind of
"ological question which faces NOV
ing and transfer companies at present
because of the arrival Of the annual
moving" season.
1t was estimated today by the man
ager of one Of the largest transfer
companies Of the city that between to-
day and October at least 1000 families
in Washington will change their places
of habitation. This is because the
leases on practically all Of the apart
ments and on many houses expire Oc-
tober !.
Many Move Annually.
The same manager is authority for
the statement that 3s Ia per cent or
one-third, Of the people who move this
year moved last year and probably the
year before that. The names of the
same families appear on the books OF
the moving companies year after year,
according to this manager. and, OF
course, there are additions to the list.
The arrival of the moving season
means great activity for the transfer
means that for more than a week LOCO
families-if the estimate of this manager
is correct-are moving from one apart
ment or dwelling to another, changing
the method of their lives in many par
ticulars.
Or the large number of families who
move every fall. a noticeable proportion
of them make changes OF residence sew
eral times between regular moving days,
this manager says. These are the fami-
cA1~
out of their apartments and homes. Ihey
are the ones who either fail to pay their
rent, or who are requested to move Tor
one reason or another. Few apartment
houses fail to get one such tenant year.
Disposition to Rove.
Some families move every year, 1T is
said, because Of rowing dispositions
Others move because of changed circum-
stances, either for better or for worse
Others have a mania for new houses
and apartment houses and are ever seek
ing for the newest to be had.
This does not mean that anything like
a large proportion Of those who rent
apartments or houses make habit OF
moving. Many renew their leases year
after year. SO that the moving COM
panies seldom visit them. These are the
kind of people the renting agents welcome
with open arms.
Some of the moving done at the present
time Is the natural change from the
suburbs to the city, but this part OF the
business does not play a large part in
the total.
Thy, we grow to expect certain farni-
lies to call us up about this time every
year" the company manager said today.
'.Our drivers grow accustomed to ham
ding the same furniture year after year.
But why? Search me-"
