CAR FARE PROBLEM MAY
COME UP NEXT WEEK
Flat-Rate Increase Among Proba-
bilities-What W. r. & E.
Officials Are Asking.

II the Commissioners finish this
week testifying before the Senate
committee in charge of the District
appropriation bill they will take up
early next week the problem Of de-
termining what the rate Of car fare
is to be after May l.
Although Engineer Commissioner
Kutz, chairman of the utilities com :
mission. would not say today whether
the proposal for zone system has
been abandoned, the probabilities are
that the fiat fare will be increased
Nearly all of the testimony taken
at the hearings was from citizens in
opposition to a zone system.
William F. Ham. president of the
Company. testified at the hearings that
ms road needs $91S,OO0 additional
revenue annually to meet expenses,
including an increase in wages to its
men equal to that just given the
Capital Traction men.
The company estimates that if the
commission decides on straight Z
cent fare without tickets and a 2-cent
charge for transfers it would receive
$4,000 additional.
With cash fare of s cents, tick cts
at tx cents and 2 cents for transfers
the additional revenue would be
S789.500.
A straight fare of cents, without
tickets or transfer charge, would net
the company $S25,00O more in reve-
nue. in a year.
Inmates of the company as fair and
decides against zone system it seems
apparent that the straight fare would
have to be higher than cents
Members of the utilities commission
and the public are looking forward

to the hope that the House District
committee. which is now considering
the local traction tangle, will recon-
mend legislation in the near future
that will bring about merger of the
lines or make a lower fare possible

Combing Won't Rid
Hair Of Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid Of
dandruff is to dissolve it, then you
destroy it entirely. To do this, get
about four ounces of ordinary liquid
arvon; apply it at night when re-
tiring; use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips
Do this tonight, and by morning
most, if not all, Of your dandruff
will be gone and three or four more
applications will completely dissolve
and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace of it, no matter how
much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. It is inexpensive and
never fails to do the work.
