Eight Maids Who Escaped From

Eight girls who escaped from the
National Training School on Con-
sduit road Sunday night are believed
to be hiding in Washington today,
clad in clothes of their boy friends.
Lookouts have warned patrolmen

young girls masquerading as men.

ground and foliage would have

SEARCH ROOMING HOUSES.
This latest clue about the disguise
supposed to have been adopted by the
girls reached the ears of Mrs. j. A.

tuition, last night. Working on the
supposition that the fugitives reached

prison barriers with three others be-

District. Their three companions.

will not reveal any knowledge they
may have of the fugitives' plans.

as soon as they are provided with

change is being expected and every
girl who answers the description OF
any member, OF the fleeing band is

The authorities are confident all eight
of the gisls will eventually be returned

likely to be punished as the three
who were caught are being held in

The Government payroll for EN-

PROPER DRESS FOR
HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS

High school girls of Chatta-
nooga, Tenn, must wear, in the
next school year, cotton or wool
hose (silk tabooed), low-heeled
shoes, and MILDLY suits (peek-a-
boo waists tabooed) of cotton or
wool.
, The school authorities there de-
cided that if it was good for the
boys to wear uniforms it is also
good for the girls, putting an end
to the efforts of some girls to
"outshine" others in appearance.
= Similar method of dress has
been advocated for Washington
high schools, but no action has
ever been taken. The strongest
argument for such a plan Is that
it puts all girls, rich and poor, on
the same footing, and would do
away with many a bitter heart
ache. Poor girls in Washington
schools are at a great disadvan-
tage. Fashionable dress uncon-
sciously makes classes and draws
distinctions from which the poor
girls, however bright and respect
able they may be, suffer. The
struggle of many poor mothers to
keep their daughters dressed as
good as other girls is often a
tragedy, with the daughters dis
contented when they fall below
others in comparison in dress.
The psychological effect of a
uniform dress is unquestionably
far-reaching in its benefits.

Protest Against Graduated Fare
Likely to Prejudice
Utilities Board.

Failure to interest the Public
Utilities Commission in the zone sys'
tenn of fare collection may result In
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company expressing a Willingness TO
accept reduction IN fares to five
tokens for IS cents, with a continu.
ance of the Scent cash fare.
= This was forecast today when II
became evident that the protests
against the zone system would be so
numerous and forceful that they
would prejudice the Utilities Com
mission against any such change.
ZONE OPPOSITION GREAT.
Opposition to the zone system is 80
great that II is believed the instalia.
tion of such fare collection would
have disastrous results. In the State
of New Jersey. where the public op.
posed zone fares. the system of fare
collection failed within a few months.
when citizens boycotted railway lines.
II is practically certain. according
to those in close touch with the rail
way situation here, that the Public
Utilities Commission will not grant
the request Of the Federation OF
Citizens Associations for a fare re-
duction to cents and to four tokens
for rs cents.
Although the commission will un-
doubtedly give the federation's de-
mand serious consideration. there ap-
pears no hope that such a material
fare reduction will be made. This
conclusion Ia based on the recent
statement of Col. Charles w. Kutz,
chairman OF the Utilities Commission,
h"fn-" a Conversational committee in
which he declared that an Scent fare,
five tokens for 35 cents, was the
smallest fare which could be estab-
lished at this time.
HEARINGS START TOMORROW.
At 10 o'clock tomorrow morning in
the board room of the District build
ing, the Public Utilities Commission
will begin It's hearings on a reduction
in street car fares. This hearing was
called after the commission had in
vestisated and found that the earnings
of the railway companies of Wash
ington were large.
William r. Ham, president OF the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company. is expected TO take the
stand first and offer the rome system
of fare collection as solution to the
railway problem.
William Nick. Clayton. chairman of
the public utilities committee OF the
Federation OF Citizens Associations
