RATES FOR TAXICABS
Senate District Committee Expected to

'Of course. we have not yet determined
what rates shall be charged" said Sena-
tor Salisbury. He indicated. however.
that his subcommittee intended TO COM
plete its investigation as early as posi-
BILE, and that a report would follow
quickly.
At a hearing before the subcommittee
on the Works bill. John ]. Boubar. Of
the Terminal TaXicab Company. sub
mitted a schedule of rates charged by
that company. and also the rates charged
by taxicab companies in the twenty
largest cities of the United States. He
the same rates as those of the Terminal

what il cost the operators OF taXiCa Os
to continue in business. lie said among
other things that the non-revenue-prC-
ducinE miles covered by the taNicahs
amounted to 40 per cent. He testified
il cost his company 80 cents for every
mile that they run 4 taXicab and that
the revenue amounted to about S29 cents
per mile. making a profit Of % cents

ONE DAY REMAINS FOR
"CLEAN CITY" WORKERS
Cooperate and Get Busy" Is Final
Appeal of Committee to
Citizens.

Workers in the clean city campaign
are breaking all records this year, MAX
ing the week devoted to improving sani-
tary conditions the most successful IN
the history of the movement in the Dis
trict- There is but one day left. and
there should be no letting up of the
zeal which has so far been so gratifying
to the men and women who have devoted
themselves 10 the cause.
Cooperate" is the appeal that has
been sent out to the workers by the
committee during the last days Of the
week. II still applies to the time re-
manning.
But one day of rain has interfered with
the work. while the other days of fair
weather have been busy one for those
who have had charge of carting away
the accumulated refuse in wagons. And
with citizens so liberal in their response
TO the call for workers the collection OF
the waste has been no small matter.
A reduced fly population is one Of the
things that has been worked for. 1t is
notable that this spring there are fewer
flies than is usual This Is attributed to
the ''swat-the-fiy" campaigns of other
years. With the District in the clean
and fresh condition it is assuming as
cleanup week draws to a close, the fly
will find fewer places in which to bred.
DIR. Arthur L. Murray, secretary OF
the clean city committee, speaking on
civic sanitation before the Mems Club of
the Emanuel Episcopal Church last night.
said:
"Storekeepers who litter the street by
sweeping refuse into Il and those people
who willfully throw trash into the road
way are public nuisances. Such offenders
should be arrested and fined. We must
have clean people before We have clean
streets. Can you not add your efforts
to those of the clean city workers and
be a factor in making Washington
clean?'

MILITIA DUTY NO BAR
TO TREASURY CLERKS
Absence on Account of Drills Won't
Affect Efficiency Rating. Orders
Secretary McAdoo.
PUTS END TO DISCRIMINATION

Absence of employees from the Treas
Try Department. when military duty in
the National Guard Is given as their
reason, will not affect their efficiency
rating. according TO an order issued by
Secretary McAdoo yesterday.
The order follows:
ITO Heads OF Bureaus and Chiefs OF
Divisions.rsecretary' once. Treasury
Department .-. ..r
Gentlemen: 1t is hereby ordered and
directed that the efficiency record of
employees of this department shall not be
adversely affected by reason Of leave OF
absence from departmental duty or field
service with the organized militia
Respectfully. .-
-. ''w. G. McADOo. Secretary"
The Treasury Department was the only
department of the government on record
as opposed to the theory that militia
service should be encouraged by full lib
erty without detriment to other duties.
That absence from civil duty for militia
service might be taken into account in
the efficiency record Of a government
clerk was the Official attitude OF John
SHELTON Williams, announced when As
sistant Secretary OF the Treasury.
Now the Treasury Department is align
ed with what is regarded by the War
Department as the sentiment Of Congress
expressed in law. and a proper course
consistent with the national policy to
build up an effective organized militia
everywhere in the United States as the
pucleous of a volunteer army upon which
the nation must rely in time of war.
Representative Kahn. of California, and
Winfield Jones, of this city. chairman
and secretary, respectively. of the Ma
tional Defense League. were first to take
up the Capt Clark case. Mr.. Kahn per-
sonally took the case up with Secretary
Garrison, protesting strongly against dis
elimination in the government service
against clerks who were patriotic enough
to serve in the National Guard.
The credit of initiating the movement
TO protect government employees in their
efficiency records. when they are absent
from office duties during service in the
milit'1, belongs, therefore. 10 Representa-
tive .cahn. Mr.. Jones. and the officials OF
the National Defense. .--.

MADAME SHERRY"
AT NIXON SUNDAY

Bobby Woolsey and his eminent
support in the ingratiating musical
farce, Madame Sherry" will bring
wealth of exquisite lyrics and radi-
ant comedy to the Nixon opea house
Sunday, February 8.
The production is one of sumptuous
splendor and sparkles with girlish
animation and catchy song numbers,
of which there is none of more endur-
ing fame than Every :" Little Move
ment.' Nor can.many musical shows
boast of more enchanting love
scheme than the pretty thread of mar
rative which so seductively permeates
the Sherry libretta. The sequence
of dance numbers through which the
author takes Edward Sherry and
Yvonne, the convent girl, is the in
genious device employed to charm
ingly express a most beautiful ro-
nance, which is the gst of the plot,
AS Yvonne innocently describes to
Edward the dancing lesson which she
saw Lulu giving to Leonard, Edward
for the first time realizes that Lulu
and Leonard have been using their
lessons merely as a cloak to cover
their love making. Every detail that
Yvonne innocently pictures to Ed
ward arouses his jealous ire. He de.
termnes to renounce Lulu Yvonne g
dancing first attracts, then fascinates
him. Yvonne's love for Edward has
been but the delight OF child with
new plaything. 1t is not until she
has seen Edward kiss Lulu that the
woman in her awakens. Now for the
first time she feels the pangs Of
jealousy. Yvonne's heart runs the
gamut of suspicion, accusation, hate,
despair Finally the notes of the
dance that first called forth her love
cause her to relent and forgive For
a moment the coquetry of the girl as
serts itself again in the chase after a
butterfly. 1t is only pretense, for in
her heart she feels the glowing of a
new love. 1t hears the call of her
mate and responds in Yvonne's first
kiss.
Music, beauty, comeuy, sparkling
as champagne, rushes Madame
Sherry" to popularity and indelibly
pleasant memory.

SCOTS POLAR fX-
petition SATURDAY

Patrons of the Nixon opera house
will be invited to sit in a comfortable
opera chair and accompany the heroic
Captain Scott, r. N, on his perilous
pourney to the South Polar regions
through the mediums of the all-con-
quering cinematograph, Saturday,
February Z. All seats reserved.
The pictorial diary of this memor-
able Antarctic expedition was made
by Herbert G.. Pointing, F. r. G.. s.,
official camera artist, who enjoyed
the distinction of being the man Sc
lected by Captain Scott TO make con-
crete animated records of the scenes
and animal life encountered. Mr..
Pointing was well worthy of the i'm
portant post, by reason of his incom-
parable record as a war correspond
ent, both journalistic and photo
graphic; he had already made pic
lures in thirty different lands and in
every conceivable climate. This
fact accounts for the faultless films
secured by him. The entire press of
Europe, as well as the scientists. and
other celebrities who witnessed the
first run of the motion pictures in
England, unanimously acclaimed them
the greatest educational travel films
ever produced and because of this
fact, they have taken their place at
the head of the column of wonder
full achievements.
Some of the most striking features
OF the $4,000 feet of film secured may
be enumerated as follows: An excit-
ing football game on sea-ice, the
Matching of wild bird IS egg before
the very lense of the camera, fero-
cious killer whale half out of the wa
ter in mad pursuit of human prey, a
frantic race between Weddell seal
with her calf, and a school of these
vicious whales, which crash up
through the ice and thus precipitate
the poor old seal into the water where
she resigns herself to her fate, but
not until she has shown some remark
able feats of endurance and strategy !;
furious storm at sea, when Captain
Scott s worthy little ship, "Terra
Nova, was all but sent to a watery
grave, and she would have been too,
but for the heroic sacrifice of Teddy
Evans, who disrobed and dived into
the icy water to clean the pumps
which became clogged with debris
from the engine room; but there are
so many things to tell about these
wonderful pictures that one hesitates
even to believe that he is competent
10 do them justice with mere rhetoric,
and so he bids you see them for your
self as he did.
