fad. along with no stockings. is not
destined to have an uproarious fol-

chilly shafts that even warmly
clad woman finds herself blue and
shrunken, and no woman wants to
be blue and shrunken.
Chicago fashion devotees did not
mind the short skirts in the good old

SOON TO CONSIDER
v. R. T. RELIEF PLAN
Authorities Hope to Increase
Revenues With Least
Cost to Public.

With the estimates Of District ex-
penses for the next fiscal year nearly
completed, the Commissioners will be
ready by Tuesday or Wednesday to
take up the question of how to in
crease the revenues Of the Washing
ton Railway and Electric Company at
the least possible cost to the public.
The annual estimates must be in
the hands Of the Treasury Depart
ment by October Is. and the task Of
completing them on time has kept the
Commissioners working night and
day since hearings on the street car
problem ended.
Early Decision Possible.
This week. however. the Commits
sioners will be able to resume con-
sideration Of the street car situati' :
and a decision may be reached be.o.e
the end of the week.
1t was made clear at the District
building yesterday that the case will
not be reopened for further argument.
A few days ago William Nick. Clayton
Of the Federation of Citizens Associa-
tions wrote to the Public Utilities
Commission, asking for an opportu-
nifty to urgue the question of the
power Of the commission to establish
q como system, in the event that the
commission seriously considers that
form Of relief for the Washington
Railway and Electric Company.

Early Decision Possible.
Questions Before Commission.

Although there Is little likelihood
that the commission will authorize
q sone system in tho face Of the op-
position that has been expressed, the
members of the commission have not
made up their minds as to how much
of an increase in straight fare should
be granted.
In addition, they must decide
whether they would be justified in in
creasing the rates Of the Washing
ton Railway and Electric Company
without allowing the same increases
to tho Capital Traction Company,
which has not asked for more reve-
nue..
Still third problem confronting
the commission is to pass upon the
complaint of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company that it does
not get an eQuitabl share of the rev.
enue derived from the sale of inter
company transfers.
