EDITORIAL

The business men Of the
community are getting TO-
gether for the purpose Of
building a large city club to
furnish. education, inSpira-
tion, amusement and a place
to exercise for all of us.
Washington needs just
such a place. A place where
the business, governmental
and military folks of this
city can meet and become
acquainted.
We need to know each
other better so we can ap-
preciate more fully the other
mans job.
A closer binding Of >our
mutual interests will lead to
a greater community spirit.
A spirit that will reflect the
glories Of this wonderful
city of ours.
There is no. city under the
heavens that offers so many
possibilities for personal de-
velopment and pleasure.
If the city club will help
us to appreciate this, let's
have it AT ONCE.

"cHoKER COLLAR" ON NAVAL
UNIFORM DISAPPEARS FAST

low and delight reign in the hearts
Of the navy's officers at last, the OLD
time "choker collar" and the tight
single breasted coat Of the uniform
are passing. For several weeks tnS
now double breasted roll cnllare
coat has been in evidence and Is De-
coming more widely used daily.
The old uniform was hpt even on a
cool day. In fact, the only hotter
thing in the world IS the high collar
ed uniform still retained by the army
The new coat is no new thing "a
agitation has been carried on for six
or seven years. The change might
have been made some time ago. but
that the greater number of officers
commissioned in the navy at the be
ginning Of the war made it mad
visable.
Franklin Roosevelt, Assistant Sec
retary Of the Navy, denies that II is
a COPY of the British uniform, but
that the navy has Long wanted a more
comfortable coat. Three years ag
the change was put to a vote, the
result of which was a majority o.
two to one in favor
The new coat differs from the Brit
ish in that it is much lover in the
lapel and the insignia, Of course, Is
different.

LOW FARE MEANS FAILURE;
SAYS CHICAGO TRACTION co.

CHICAGO, April 27.-Talk Of re-
ceivership for the Chicago surface
car system and Of strikes Of en-
ployes if an attempt to reduce wages
is made followed in the wake today
of the refusal of the Illinois public
utilities commission to grant the
application OF the street car COM
pany for permission to increase fares
from to cents.
Officials Of the company declare
that the present scent fare does not
produce sufficient revenue to cover
operating expenses and say that,
without increased revenue, ii will be
impossible to maintain the wartime
wage scale now in effect. Employees
assert that any attempt to reduce
present wages will result in a strike.
The utilities commission declared
that It is possible for the company
to make both ends meet with the
scent fare and refused to burden
the public" with the 100000 per
year il is estimated the increased
fare would have produced.
