Communication Book Cuts Figure.

point to be considered in con-
,nection with intercompany transfers
at 32d and NJ streets, it is stated, is
involved in the issuance by the WASH
ington Railway and Electric Company,
beginning January 1, of a new inter-
state Communication book on it's Rock
vile line. The new book, it is stated,
will automatically render the four
or-a-quarter tickets that have been
used jointly on the Rockville and
Capital Traction Company's line use
less as far as commuters are concern
ed. and will force passengers living
outside the District to use the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Com
pany's lines all the way into the city,
whether it suits their convenience or
not.
For sen raj years past the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Company
has sold special tickets at four for a
quarter, one-half of the ticket being
taken up on the Rockville or Somerset
scars. while the other transferred the
passenger to the Capital Traction
company cars. or vice versa.

How Communication Works.

Under the new Communication rate
permitted by the Interstate Commerce
Commission and effective January 1.
patrons of the Rockville line living
outside the District will be required to
buy combination communication tickets
good for rides over the Maryland por-
ton of the line and the lines of the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company within the District. Com
muters will not be permitted to use
one part of the ticket without using
or losing the other part; SO that if it
is more convenient for such commut-
ers to use the Georgetown line of the
Capital Traction Company from 32d
istreet an intercompany transfer point
must be established at that intersec-
ton or the commuters will have to pay
two five-cent fares. The District tick
cts in the new commutatio books are
to be sold at the rate of five cents
each. or $3.50 for SO single trip tickets,
in advance, and must be used during
the month in which the book is issued,
though it is stated the Washington
Railway and Electric Company is
shortly to announce that unused Dis
trict portions of the Communication
books will be redeemed at face value
or made good until used
Commuters Face Loss.
Unless an intercompany transfer
point is established at 32d and NJ
street or some arrangement is made
whereby patrons of the line living
outside the District may exchange or
otherwise utilize unused District
tickets of the new Communication books,
it is stated, these commuters of
whom. it is estimated. there are seve-
raj thousand, stand to lose material
sums every month, as it is impossible
for many of them. without serious de-
lay and inconvenience, to reach their
places of employment by way of the
lines of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company.
1t is understood similar situation
exists as regards certain proposed
intercompany transfer points along
the District lines used by the City
and Suburban. the Hyattsville and
Riverdale and the Forest Glen divi-
sions of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company.
1t is expected the public hearings
on the intercompany transfer ques-
ton will continue for several days,
as it is hardly believed possible to
thrash out all the points of disagree
ment in one or two days.

Statement Urging Inventory.

A statement. urging the taking of
| personal inventory, issued by the
savings division, follows:
Your savings increase your prop
erty and personal capital. Would not
your family be interested to list all
the property it owns, in order to find
out just how much capital it really
possesses? Your capital includes not
only your house. furniture, etc, but
the money you have deposited in the
building and loan society, savings
bank. and the liberty bonds, thrift
stamps and war savings stamps you
have purchased. as well.
"The nation has been taught the
value of thrift-wise buying, sane
saving. secure investment-by the
war. We must not suffer a relapse.
Our part in the future prosperity OF
our country is as great as the part
we took in winning the war. One of
the best ways in which to assist in
insuring prosperity is by practicing
thrift. A thrifty nation is a prosper
| Gus nation.
1T is with the idea of stimulating
increased interest in saving that the
special forms for the guidance of
children, adults and families in max
ing their personal inventories have
been issued. After you have filled out
the first form, and ascertained your
exact patriotic financial status, fill out
the second blank and make your plans
for a year of greater thrift in 1872

OFFERS SAVINGS PLANS

In line with its program to increase.
thrift and saving among the Ameri-
can people. the government has asked
that January l next be nationally OBJ:
served as Personal Inventory Day"
1t is suggested that every man, .,pvem-
an and child. take account of his or
her personal property, savings and
debts on this day. and make plans
for twelve months of getting ahead
during 1919.
What are you worth to .yourselfo"
is what the government wants its
citizens to figure out for their own
satisfaction. Officers of the savings
division of the Treasury Department
say every American should find the
answer to this question on Personal
Inventory Day"
Two Plans Are Devised.
Tire savings division has devised
two simple forms, one to be filled out
by ADULTS. The other. which might
be called a patriotic estimate blank ~
is equally useful for both children
and grOwnupS.
Those directing the project realize
that one of the hardest things a per-
sun mas 70 10 Is TO be financially
honest with himself. But it is be-
| lieved these prepared blanks will help
any individual to obtain an accurate
enough account of his personal finan-
cial status.
Teachers in the schools throughout
the nation will be asked to encourage
! their pupils in thrift and saving. They
Will be asked also to have the pupils
fill out the patriotic estimate blanks
for themselves. The other blank is
intended to be filled out by the fam
lily for its own guidance
The forms are not to be sent to or
filed with any person or organization
They are simply for individual guild
ance and should be kept by the family
as record of it's financial standing,
as a guidepost to a year of thankful
thrift

This sentiment prevails in a great

employers reply that making work.
ing conditions pleasant and promot-
ing the cordial relations between
owner and employee will do great
deal to keep men more steadily on
the job.
Harmony, more harmony, and still
more harmony between employer and
employee" is the suggestion of big
Chicago manufacturers Another man
suggests frequent meetings with the
workmen, frequent calls at their
homes when theyNare laid off and ad-
vice to the men to maintain regular
attendance. A Massachusetts, en-
ployer gives the following solution
of the problem: "Give every work.

work and uphold the President in
what he does
Improve Working Conditions.
An Illinois manufacturer suggests
that men be interested in the amount
of work done and urged to improve

believes that first of all it is the duty
of the employer to make working con-
ditions agreeable and sanitary and
afterward to impress the need of in
creased production.
A Pennsylvania man recommends a
campaign of education Ito get the

ISbE|NG STUDIED
Differences of Opinion Exist
: Between Commissioners
and Companies.
PUBLIC HEARINGS SOON

Public hearings on the proposed
intercompany transfer points named
in the Beeler report are to be held
at an early Date, probably just as
soon after January l as can be ar
ranged. The public utilities commits
sion has not yet fixed the date on
which the hearings shall begin, as it
is desired to take as much time as is
conveniently possible for the careful
reading and examination of the
voluminous report filed by Mr..
Beeler, but. mo unnecessary delay is to
be permitted in the matter.
1t is known that considerable
difference of opinion exists between
members of the commission as to
some of the proposed inter-company
transfer points. and that still other
differences; exist between the COM
mission and the two street railway
companies.
Loss of Revenue Feared.
Regarding some of the transfer points
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company objects TO establishment OF
legged probable loss of revenue. The
Capital Traction Company makes the
| same objection to other points; while at
still other points it is stated one of the
| companies objects on the point of al
legged revenue loss. while the other OBJ
jects because of difficulay in handling
the increased passenger traffic.
! One such point is the intersection of
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company's Tenleytown and Rockville
line with the Georgetown line of the
Capital Traction Company. The former
company objects to establishment at this
intersection-32d and NJ streets, George
town-of an intercompany transfer point
because Of alleged loss of revenue, while
the Capital Traction Company makes
objection on the ground that it's George
town cars are already overloaded, with
no possibility of adding more cars to the
number: already in service on this line.
and the additional passengers to be ex-
! pected from the other company's line,
! if the intercompany transfer is estab-
lished at this point, would make the
present congestion much more serious.

August 1914, he enlisted in the
foreign legion and was wounded
three times. He served with those
famous warriors until 1917, then was
transferred to the French aviation

Albania. Before the armistice was
signed he was transferred to the
American air service and has just re-
turned to America. His decorations

To the Local Board for Iron County.
Gentlemen--Thought would drop
YOU a few lines on conditions in the
camp effecting new men, as it might
help some body.
They do not issue any equipment
here for two weeks after you land n
sometimes three or more. NO more
dress shoes are issued; you have to
buy themif you want them; also every
thing should be bought there that is
possible as you have to pay three
prices for stuff ~here-even in the call
teens.
Clothing should be OF the toughest
type, also shoes, as you are barefoot
ed before equipment is issued. While
there are no rocks in this sand soil the
drill grounds are covered with gravel
ON account OF the mud and it sure
grinds out shoe leather.
Money does not go anywhere on
account of the awful prices when
prevail. ~,
The quarantine is not very rigid
here; about the only difference oe'ng
that you are required to eat separate
from the rest and sleep in the over
flow buildings and we can't leave the
immediate vicinity Of barracks.

for the last two weeks, so only have
to stand reveille and retreat.
We drill here in this battery from
1880 in the morning to eight O'Clock at
night, and as it is q motorized tractor
gun we have to drill with rifles; the
33sth Regiment, next to US, use only
pistols, but they also have horses 70

A number. of men were transferred
here from Camp Funston and they
say this camp is much better.
The people around the camp are
very unfriendly, though we IRE mo-
even allowed when on trucks away
from camp to stop for drinking water
they are afraid somebody will ge'
poisoned, / guess. That is the reaso1
given by some Of the "Non'Coms',

This is probably n of the hardes
