although Latin and English have re
ceived sufficient support to be ranked
as serious candidates. Scientific men,
he says, form the group most anxious
to see world agreement on some
auxiliary language and are not in.

OF the languages contending for
world recognition Sc says that diff

of the chief objections to Latin, while
English has chaotic" spelling with
difficult and various pronunciation.
Also, he says, the choice of one from
among the many living languages
would excite intense and destructive
jealousy.
Reviewing efforts that have been
made in the movement, the writer
calls attention to the work of the
Research Council in
Brussels during the summer of 1918,
Of the British, American, French and
Italian Associations, and Of. the
League of Nations. These various
bodies, he contends, are "free from
the suspicion or advocating serious
study Of what might be regarded as

Transit Company Reports.
That the Washington Rapid
Transit Company is rapidly coming
into its own as a public utility is
readily evidenced by the annual re-
port Of the company, just received
by the Public Utilities Commission.
While a deficit of $5,024.24 is shown
for the partial years operation from
March, 1921, to January I, 1922,
there are several factors entering
into the situation which tend to belle
first impressions of the financial
status OF the company.
Quite naturally. as is the case in
every business venture, during the
first several months Of the company's
: operations steady deficit was re-
Ported. month by month, sometimes
running into several thousand dollars.
Toward the end of the past summer,
and in each succeeding month, the
monthly report showed favorable
gains, the closing months of the year
averaging about $500 profit. Off,
cials Of the company declare the
total years deficit was incurred dur
Ing the first six weeks of operations.
In the annual report, total depre.
ciation for the year Is set at SIC, 400.91,
which would appear to be decidedly
ample. ..-..
Total operating revenues for the
year amounted to $115,919.04, with
operating expenses totalling $11s,
297.89. The total incorporating in,
come amounted to S368.16, leaving a
