SOMERSET WOMEN
WANT j. s. TO TAKE
D. c. CAR LINES

The Women's Club OF Somerset. Nd,
in a strong protest is today advo-
eating Government ownership OF the
street railways OF Washington.
They point to the service of the
Georgetown Rockville line as an eX-
ccIIent reason for Government control
They claim that expenditure OF mil
lions Of dollars for the erection Of
housing quarters for war clerks
would not be necessary il good car
service would make it possible for
war clerks to live in the suburbs.
Formal Protest.
Miss Lucy f. Spencer. secretary OF
the club, wrote the protest. 1t fol
lows:
1t IS most ungent that something
be done Immediately to improve the
car service on this route. The tracks
are there. but alas, seldom cars, so
when one does appear it is too crowd
ed for further occupancy. What cars
there are. are so old and decrepit, 1t is
a wonder how they hold together at
all. Instead of the Government spend
ing millions OF dollars for the erection
OF houses for the influx, why not
take over. or cause some reliable
party 10 take over. the management
OF the street railways, buy plenty OF
new, up-to-date cars, and see that
they are properly run, so that people
will be willing to go into the suburbs,
where many could be accommodated,
and where many are anxious to furn-
ish rooms for such a purpose.
Others Cities Cited.
an other cities all people cannot
live within walking distance OF their
work so why should they here? But
the first thing is TO furnish comfort
able and adequate transportation in
all directions. use what tracks there
are to The limit and not wait to
talk about more tracks. subwsys. etc.
Surely this would expedite war work
as much as anything.

LIKELY YTOURGE
FEDERAL CONTROL
OF D. c. RAILWAYS

Expectation in Congressional cir
cIcs today is that the District Com
missioners in the report they soon
will make on the resolution Of SEN
ator Jones will recommend that the
Government take over and operate
and own the street railway systems
in Washington.
The resolution OF Senator JoneS
calls for detailed information as TO
the causes for the existing congestion
and recommendation for relief.
Strong sentiment exists in Con-
Srcss for the Government taking over
the lines. Senator Gallinger told the
Senate he believed a subway system
was the solution Of the conditions.
But Congress apparently would much
more readily finance the taking over
OF the lines than it would finance

Washington, April 13.-The govern

board has loaned $%77,92z167 to the
farmers of the United States since the

Figures made public by the farm loan

vate interest rates in paying for their
land and equipment.
Extensive agriculture areas are clear

made IN each state. Texas, with the.

North Dakota and Kansas where loans
of ~$6,064,500 and $5.061, 200 respective

DEATH OF E. W. HOFFMAN,.

E. w. Hoffman,, who for some time
suffered with Bright's disease, died
Wednesday morning at his home in
Hubbard, at a little after 10 O'clock.
The death of this splendid young man
is a distinct loss to Hubbard. He did
not expect to get well when he closed
out his jewelry business at the holiday
season, but at that time only his ply
stefan and himself knew of his condi-
ton. Bravely he made the fight alone,
so far as earthly friends were concern
ed. But he had long ago made his peace
with his Maker and was ready when the
call came. Ernest made this statement to
the writer of these lines several weeks
ago. AS a business man he was we'll lik-

ent, Mr.. and Mrs. Ernest Hoffman,
and family have the sympathy of the
community.
