BUSES DRAW MILLIONS
FROM LONDON'S SUBWAY

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent) .
LONDON, May 5.-MllliOns Of Lon
doners start weekend trips these
days, using the greatest city's greatest
transport system-the omnibuses
Everyone scrambles to find a seat ION
top"
Enormous weekend traffic and eX-
tension Of bus-lines into suburban
areas has increased bus business until
some amazing comparative statistics
are possible For example, the Lon
don omnibuses today carry far more
passengers than the Combined sub
way and surface railways in the Lon
don district.
Official figures. showing the total
number carried daily by both lines Of
travel are as follows;
Busses 100000 persons.
Combined subway and surface lines.
600, 600 persons.
wherefore London is rejoicing be
cause these figures Indicate the bEs
business has more than regaincd pre-
war volume and efficiency.
Incidentally. the Londoner today
can hop a bus at his very doorstep
and ride scores OF miles mo 'he Fe'u-
ant countryside far from the smoke
and Crime Of the city.
ily making couple Of changes Mr..
Iondoner can ride all the way to
brighton and spend day by the sea.
But It's the fifty odd excursion bus
routes that form the main stay Of this
great business: its the steady day-in-
and -day-out volume OF millions Of
workers going TO business every mora
ing and returning al night and
ihrongs Of shoppers that keep the

great vehicles loaded earning tons Of
copper coins.
Nearly 15O-separate bus-lines thread
their way through London, connecting
the busy downtown sections with the
suburban residence sections, and in
terlinking the various suburban COM
munities with one another. Some 616
miles Of road are worked" iE this
manner.
Recently some marked improve
.ments have been made in the type Of
gmuibuses used. Today the popular
s. type carrying 81 persons inside
and out, Of which a large number are
operating, is a far cry from the first
I horse omnibuses that started operat-
ing ninety years ago.
The $500 omnibuses in operation
today under one management repre-
sent an amalgamauOn of the numer-
Gus smaller lines that We're in exist
/ ence some years back.
/ England has awakened to the fact
that country travel by motor bus is
cHcarer than railroad travel where
fore fIocks of specially chartered ON
motor bus known as the "charabanc"
cover the country and seaside every
week end.
London buses are operated on a very
! accommodating program. If YOU live
five or six miles from the theatre dis
trict you can charter a bus, go to town
for dinner, and ride home after The
show, together with So neighbors. fOr
r d total cost for the lot OF about SI2
Ordinarily bus fares are compare
lively cheap, even though they were
advanced 30 per cent last September
Very short rides cost about cents ir
L. S. money and the usual suburban
fares average around dime. A two
hour ride into the country costs about
25 cents.

PAPER MAKERS ASK
FOR HIGHER TARIFF
Publishers and Educational
Concerns Would Have Books
on Free List.
NEW ISSUE

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-Additional
protection for Americas paper making
industry against competition from Ger
many and the scandinavian countries
was asked of the Senate Finance Com
mittee to-day by the American Paper
and Pulp Association. Spokesman for
various branches of the industry except
newsprint gave details as to conditions.
The tariff trainers also heard repre-
sentatives of book publishers, educa-
tional organizations, public libraries and
workmen In the bookbinding and litho-
graphing trades. Spokesman for the
publishers, educational organizations
and libraries wanted low rates on books
in the English language, with foreign
language books, books in England over
twenty years old and text books admit
ted free. 1t was argued that knowledge
should have as free a course as possible
and that to impose duty on old books
was to strike at the very heart OF
scholarship and civilization.
Representatives OF the International
brotherhood of Bookbinders, the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor and the United
Typothetae of America urged that the
20 per cent rate in the Fordney bill be
increased to so per cent, based on for
eign valuation. They declared that
many poOk puDilSneTS IN this country
sent the book plates abroad to have the
books published and bound I'm order to
get the benefit of the cheaper foreign
labor and that Congress should protect
the American workmen in these lines.
Spokesman for the American lithog-
Taphers and for the Lithographic En1.
ployees Association asked that the COM
nittee double the rates in the Fordney
bill on autographed calendars, pictures.
cards, labels. flaps, cigar bands and the
like. They declared that Germany was
threatening the American industry. add
ing that because OF the low value of the
mark German lithographing firms paid
only the equivalent Of two and a half
cents American money for the same
amount OF labor that cost forty-fiye
cents In this country.
The committee also was asked to pro-
tect from German competition a new

ing the war--that of making stereotype

Wood OF New York asked for n rate OF
