MAY PAY IN FULL FOR BONDS
This Is Privilege, Not Requirement,
Mr.. Wcoley Explains,

Some confusion has arisen relative to
the privilege granted to subscribers
for one $50 bond or one 800 bond to
pay the full amount at once with the
assurance of an immediate allotment
in full and delivery of an interim Ger
tifcate at the earliest possible moment.
II. w. Wooley. director of publicity.
made this statement today:
ut should be clearly understood that
this is a privilege and not require
ment. The subscriber for one $50 bond
or one 800 bond may avail himself of
this privilege of full payment, or he
may pay . per cent upon application
and the balance. 1s per cent on June
%, 20 per cent on July 30. 30 per cent
on August Is and 30 per cent on Au-
gust 30.
"The apparent reason for this con-
fusion Is the wording on the application
blank. II one $50 bond or one slO0
bond Is applied for and payment in
installments desired, the following
words may be stricken out, Or payment
in full for the one $50 or the one 800
bond applied for II payment in full
for the one $50 bond or the one slOO
bond is desired. the words on the ap-
plication blank. being . per cent of the

one either, for that matter" says Di-
rector Woolfey of the publicity bureau
Of the liberty loan, has quite the ad-
vantages that the liberty loan bond
has, Savings invested in a liberty loan
bond are just as safe as 1t is possible
to make them and will constantly draw
interest. While the interest is only "
per cent, the bonds being non-taxable
makes the investment the equivalent of
5 or per cent interest drawing in
vestment in ordinary securities.
Not only is the investment absolute
ly safe. but it is practically as readily
converted into money as a United
States Treasury note To dispose Of one
of these liberty loan bonds may require
the owner to go to a bank instead of
passing 1t over any counter. Yet this is
an advantage. The trouble and time re-
quired to convert the bond into cash
will give the owner time for thought
and reconsideration. and It is not i'm
probable that in many instances the re-
suit will be that the savings invested
in a liberty loan bond will be preserved
intact where savings In money would
be spent, in part II not in whole"

w. NICK. Clayton. representing the

asked Mr.. Barbour II he did not think
that the people of the District should
be represented on the boards Of direc-
tors Of the street railways in the Dis

ter by Congress. He suggested that

Mr.. Barbour said that he did not
think so; that the interests Of tho pub
