office OF the Consumers League OF
Delaware. who called In yesterday for
latest frst-hand news OF the Minimum

other things that make up the busy
farmers life, you wouldn't think Miss
Malone had time for anything else.

Circe. So now It's race between the
classics and and the modern progress
slycs.

out the provisions of his permit or give
the people transportation without a per-

Tho attitude of the Public Service

Mayors efforts to provide transporta-
ton for the East Side. To this end It
was pointed out the usual course OF pro-
cedure had been to give Mr.. Riedl the
right to operate buses over the ways Of
