rapidly as possible.

The work of the congress has been
moving slowly because 1t has been
necessary to translate all speeches
from Spanish to English. or vice
versa. Aside from the thirty-some
delegates and labor leaders in con-
slant attendance the convention at
tracted little attention yesterday. the
visitors gallery at no time holding
more than handful.
Proposals that a rival labor con-
gress be held by radicals who have
been elected from the parent body
have APPARENTLY borne no fruit.
Although "the soviet of young Mex
lean workers threatened to play q
role during the congress. it was not
expected that this organization would
disturb the program. which. 1t is be-
lieved. will be concluded this week.

devoted to the report by the creden-

fact that only Guatemala and Saliva

CLIMBING PARK TREE

Shortly after sun-up this morning
a mounted policeman in Rock Creek
Park discovered comedy young wom-
an, attired in a hiking suit. attempt
ing to climb a big oak tree. 1nvesti-
ga ton disclosed her to be Miss Manila
Marian, the savage girls' who asso-
ciated with wild animals and lived
in a Jungle for a year while THE Son
of Tarzan" was being filmed. She is
in Washington this week appearing
personally at the Leader Theater.
: Asked to explain her presence and
actions. the young woman said her
stay in the effete East was getting on
her nerves and she longed to return
to the wilds of the jungle. She in
formed the bluecoat that she found
il necessary to keep her strength at
the highest point of development and
made it her business to walk at least
ten miles a day. climb few trees,
ride horseback for an hour or two
and dance out of doors every day.
Sizing up her unusually well de-
veloped physique and the bloom OF
health on her cheeks, the mounted
man agreed that her exercises were
probably accomplishing all she de-
sired. but he warned her against
breaking any of the branches of the
trees.

Good Judgment
In AdUertising

The following editorial, from
Implement and Tractor Trade
Journal, will be interesting to those
engaging in new business, or
building up existing industries:
~ NE of the big corporations with
several subsidiaries operating
~ in the farm equipment field is
going to spend five million dollars
in advertising next year. Big cor
porations are usually run by hard
headed, clear Drained men. Such
men are likely to know money and
what money will do; also what
money won't do. In coming to de-
cision of this kind, of course, they
must have done lot of careful in
dividual thinking and just as care
full consulting with one another. In
short, they had to be mighty sure
that they were going to get their
moneys worth before they gave the
word.
Of course, it takes courage to de-
eide to spend five million dollars
on any one thing. But it takes
good deal more than courage. That
is merely the human quality re-
uuired to execute any considerable
plan. Given the resources, any busi-
ness man would have the courage
to authorize proportionate eX-
penditure in his own business, but it
is not just any business man who
would make the preliminary study
of the power of advertising that
should precede such a decision.
In other words, any merchant who
would at once decide to spend big
advertising appropriation merely on
the strength of the inspiration Of
fered by what this big corporation
did wouldn't be exercising very good
business Judgment. But the mer-
chant who becomes inspired by the
corporation example to study the
advertising possibilities in his field,
with a view to making a similar ILL.,
vestment, is exercising the very best
of good business judgment. And so
is the manufacturer, for that matter.
It is certain that if either one keeps
his mind wholly or partly closed to
the uses of advertising the growth
of his business is going to be stunted
accordingly.

Bargain Fares On Street
RaiLWayS
By BILL PRICE


The street railways and the Public Utilities Commits
sion of the District might give consideration to 1.-THE
bargain ride" plan now before the Maryland Public
Service Commission as a means OF stimulating riding
the street railways of Baltimore during certain hours
of the day and night
The Baltimore trolley lines have shown falling
off in revenues and the Public Service Commission
has the inevitable problem before it OF seeing that the
lines fair returns upon their proper Valua-
tions The falling off in revenues is due to household
economies to meet existing conditions and TO the In
creasing use of bus lines and tneys The latter are
threatening the of street railways in many
cities.
The bargainfare idea would not be bad one in
this city if it could be applied without decided financial
disadvantage to the local car companies IL might De
of inestimabe value in essenng the congestion here
during what known the "peak" hours OF traffic
There is other city in the United States where
practically all the traffic falls upon the street car com
panies between and o'clock in the morning and 4:3O
and $50 O'Clock in the afternoon. The jamming of
cars here during the hours mentioned is positive dis
grace.
In other large cities of the country the congesed
hours are from $50 to o'clock in the morning with
varying hours in the afternoon This is due to dis
trbution of the population in all classes of industry
and office work.
Anything that would lessen the congestion here
would benefit both the public and the transportation
companies.
Bargain fares between 10 o'clock in the morning and
4 O'Clock in the afternoon might go far toward de-
creasing the jam beginning at 43O o'clock in the after
noon Many housewives and others would take ad-
vantage of these fares to do their shopping and return
to their homes before the afternoon rush. The busl-
ness houses of the city would be relieved of OF
the congestion in the last hour and half OF business
The low fares might likewise bring more business to
the city from suburban points.
The sardning'' of human beings in street cars must
cease tme and any plan which holds out hope OF
early relief should not be laid aside.
Baltimore has better plan than Washington Of
caring for passengers boarding and leaving street
On the busy streets here heavy cumbersome wooden
platforms which detract from the appearance of
streets and avenues. Baltimore has system of roping
the stops, light ropes being strung from iron posts
Passengers aghtng walk around the ends of the ropes
and do not, here hop off right into automobile or
other traffic that may begin moving when street
move.
Those uninvtng platforms on Pennsylvania avenue,
F. Fourteenth Ninth streets and elsewhere do not add
anything to the beauty of these Streets and not
practical as the Baltimore plan in protecting unthink
ing pedestrians from traffic dangers.
