Mrs. Christine Frederick, household efficiency expert and consulting house. hold editor of the Ladies' Home Jour- nal, the New York Evening Sun, Sue cessful Farming, and various other publications, recently appeared before the Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee of the House of Repre- sentatives in Washington in support of the Stephens-Ashurst bill.

For New Crew Members

A search for more motormen and
conductors to work at the trolley
company's scale of wages is now be-
ing prosecuted by heads of the Con-
necticut Co. throughout the rural
communities of Connecticut, New
York and Massachusetts. The ques-
ton of procuring help at railroad and
trolley wages has assumed a serious
phase in this city and every effort is
being made to get needed help on the
cars. ''It is a, survival of the fttest,' -
said General Manager John K. Pun
derford. An effort will be made to
show men that guarantee of long SER
vice with the company will offset the
higher wages now being paid else
where.
