LIBERTYPARADE
TO BE CAPITALS
BIGGEST PAGEANT

More Washington people Will march
in the Liberty bond buyers parade
Friday than ever before have particle
pated in a patriotic procession in this
city.
This was the prediction Of tia pa
rade committee today as It worked at
top speed to classify the entries Of or
CARNATIONS. firms, individuals, and
units Of citizens eager 20 be assigned
places in the line.
Entries for space IN the parade have
exceeded the most sanguine. -expecta-
lions OF those in charge OF the cele-
bration, according to Charles J. CO.
Iumbus, chairman OF the parade COM
mittee. Unless applications for reser-
vations are hled today thousandsswho
expected to take part viii be disap-
pointed, he said.
Some Recent Eatrants.
The Washington Terminal Company
made application today for a space
allotment for its employees. A unit
corps at Fort Myer also applied for
space in the parade line.
Melvin {. Hazen, grand marshal:
Gen. Richard d. Sims, chief Of stan,
and Columbus will draw up the Of
fetal parade formation tonight.
Entries of business organizations and
units will close tonight at Liberty
loan headquarters, 141S II street
northwest, in order that the organi-
zation OF the parade may be com
pleted IN ample time.
All OF the Government depart
ments. with their tens Of thousands Of
Government employees. will participate.
as will thousands OF department store
employees, workers in private Offices and
establishments, soldiers. sailors and
school children.
Button Il CredeRtiaL
The committee in charge Of the pa.
rade stressed the fact today that a
third Liberty loan button is all the
credentials any one will need to be-
come a part Of the marching army
Friday.
At the District building plans were
under way for the participation
of the 492 men who have been
called in the next draft quota.
They will be honored in the line OF
march, placed near the head OF the
procession, and led by Commissioner
Louis Brownlow.
A division has been set aside for en-
listed men Of the army and navy who
have bought bonds. Organization of
units OF military marchers from the
various commands stationed in the
Capital will be effected before the en-
tries are formally closed tonight.

city are glad to get the extra en-
ployment. II gives them an insight
into business and valuable knowledge
as 70 the handing Of people. They
quickly learn the work, are honest
and efficient. They make good re-
ports in case Of accidents. and have
the good will Of the public. There
Is an immense amount of competent
energy OF this kind going to waste
in Washington.
The regular crews are glad TO
have the boys around, .inasmuch as
the youngsters are always willing
to work as substitutes on holidays
and special occasions, when the men
want TO get off"
Mr.. Beeler sees better car service
ahead for Washington, despite the
threatened scarcity Of train cerws.
His speed-up and skip-stop plans, he
believes, have accomplished much.
II staggered hours can be success
fully added to the other things al
ready done, he declares, there will be
another Improvement and an import
ant one.
ReroutinE Plans.
Mr.. Beeler still holds what he be-
lieves TO be big trump cards with
which to turn his tricks necessary to
put the street car systems on a basis
OF permanent Improvement. One of
these is the rerouting OF cars on all
lines. He Is confident that the EN-
cheney OF the service in every direc-
ton can be increased 40 TO so per
cent He will draw up a separate
plan OF rerouting for each Of the two
companies and then. combine these
into one for use in the. event that
there Is a merger OF the car com
panies. The Utilities Commission has
authority to direct rerouting and will
do so II Mr.. Beeler's plans meet with
approval.
Mr.. Beeler, thinks that the greatest
of all good can be Brought about by
equipping existing cars so they can
be run in double units. All new cars
nov ordered ~ the two compAnies
arc so equipped. They can be oper-
ated IN pairs Without difficulty. 81
81 many OF Tho cars now in service
a-R obsolete that It would be difficult
tc equip them for running in trains.
There are. Trough. Hundreds that can
DO prepared for that kind of work.
1t Is estimated that~each car could
br properly equipped at an expense
OF S1.ScC. This would prove a finan-
cial drain on the roads, but Mr..
Beeler is confident that nothing else.

Washington Is the largest city in
the country to undertake a reorgani-
zation OF service along skip-stop

the possibility that DR.. Garfield may
