A Five-Cent Fare Discussion
It Will Not Be With Very Perhaps Never Public owrshp
Would Be Better.
By EARL GOODWIN.

The scent fare suggested by the W. R. and Co.,
is long way off.
Much water will run the wheel ere the Public
Utilities Commission grants this request.
In the first place, the Utilities Commission will not set
tie the fare question until it determines just what the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Company is actually WORTH
minus water.
The Utilities Commission believes the system is worth
about $15OO0000 The W. R. and E. Co. directors and
perts claim the system worth about $30O00000 and on
$30,000,O00 it MUST pay dividends
1t may be difficult to pay dividends and extra divi-
dends $3000000 at fare rate but the
Public Utilities Commission may force the road to squeeze
its water and get down to $1500000O basis which it
would not be hard perhaps to pay dividends with a
THREE CENT fare
In no city in the world told is there wide
difference between street line and the Public Utilities
Commission. In view of this predict long and bitter
struggle in the courts
We would be in much better condition for street car
facilities if the District of Columbia owned and operated
the existing systems with active and experienced prac
teal railway at the head.
Or if would undertake the experiment of Cleveland,
Ohio where the city and the street railways have gone into
partnership, first having agreed valuation might
be better off The street lines of Cleveland allowed
to per cent capital invested, and the resulting
series of staggered fares is interesting.
passenger pays for his trip by the length of his
journey. Also he buy transfer from line to
other. He can ride for as little as three cents
1t strikes that the companies here would do
well to study the Cleveland plan.
Best of all would be the firm announcement by the Gov
ernment that intended to OWN outright the traffic fac4
ties of the Capital.

The Editor OF The Times:
My attention has been called to
your comment in the Heard and

July 4th. as follows:-
Potatoes are rising in price de-
spite the earnest efforts OF the Food
Administration to keep them cheap
while the drive to eat potatoes is on.
The trouble, / believe, lies with the
farmer who is holding up the city
man. The Government seems to be
able to curb the greed of nearly
everyone except the honest horny
handed son of the soil"
I would say that we have been ac-
lively engaged in farming for over
forty years in Western New York.

edge of the agricultural conditions

We believe at this time OF greaf

Don't Train the Babies
Their Little Bodies Are Not Meant For Physical Culture

The physical cultursts who tell you that you should
IF vo foo their sSVics 10th e vOuT dSetou and
your disposition would probably improve.
Knowing this to be true people are prone to attach
have to say.
people rule do not take the exercises they
prescribe.
Exercising is hard work. and adults are inclined
to do no more work than is absolutely necessary.
So finding that their advice falls on dull ears when
addressed fathers and mothers the advocates of daily
exercise turn their attention to the babies.
Here they are most successful
Parents have no objection to putting their babies
through calisthenics.
The babies, who are full of energy, enjoy the work
and the parents do not feel the fatigue.
Moreover, it grat!ies parental vanity to show the
hold for seconds at time to broom handles bars while
their tiny feet swing clear of the floor.
It fills the paternal soul with joy to the tiny bceps
hardening like those of a real athlete
Such development makes a splendid ''show" baby,
and nothing desirable to most fathers and mothers
to have child who is admired for some singular or
unusual merit
1t is for this that physical culture among little
children has become popular
It is beginning to be introduced into the hndergartens
and classes in physical culture being organized with
pupils who begin to work with bars and dumbbes when
they have scarcely learned to walk
of course all this overtaxes the slender strength which
the babies need for other enterprises.
It exhausts the energy that ought to to brains and
nerves.
And above all it weakens the heart It does rreparabe
damage to the heart action.
Children who have been set to work at regular drills
and exercises before four years old have about half the
chance to grow up into healthy and those
who follow the ordinary but fascinating pursuits of
monplace babyhood.
Halfformed muscles which are growing and develop
ing nature meant them to wrenched and torn by the
unnatural strain
Weak little hearts are made to beat too fast and become
so enfeebled that they grow strong again.
But the children not like other children
They remarkable, and attract much admiration
from foolish and unthnkg people before whom they
shown off.
Thus silly parental vanity unites with unwise faddss
in attempt to make athletes of babies and the babies
suffer.
Physical culture excellent thing but it should be
confined to people who need it, and not to babies whom it
injuries
And proud parents who spoil their babies in
ways than through desire to have them admired
should remember that the welfare of the children is of
more importance than their weak vanity.

Soda water IS important, Of course,
but human welfare is even more i'm
