A few years later student at Up

great disadvantage lay In the highly

chemist, Gustav Erik Pasch, surmouut-

A match is composed Of two essen
tial parts-the chemical substances in
the head and the wooden stick which
holds them. The head of the match
produces the heat necessary to ignite
the wood. The wood furnishes hthe

RIVERDALE, Md. March 15.-At a
mass meeting Tuesday evening held
under the auspices of the East River
dale Citizens Association protests
were made against the proposed
abandonment policy of the Washing
ton Street Railway and Electric
Company.
The company pleads lack of funds
and to avoid paying it's share of re-
pavement costs it would substitute
a bus line from 18th and H streets
northeast to the District line and
then continue the operation OF street
cars from the District line to East
Riverdale.
Many Citizens Attend.
At the mass meeting representative
citizens from every community along
tho affected line were present. The
speakers were most vigorous in their
protests and fear was expressed that
the company eventually will abandon
all attempts to serve this section. 1t
was recalled that the company has dis
continued all service from East River
dale to Berwyn and citizens who have
homes in that area are without trans
portation.
The territory from Biadensburg to
East Riverdale is extensive, the pop
ulation is growing rapidly and the need
for efficient street car service is as
urgent as in any section of the District
and Maryland, speakers at the meeting
declared
A committee of five was appointed to
confer with the company as to its in
tentions in the matter, the results Of
which will form the base of future ac-
ton Citizens along the line also will
attend the meeting Of the Public Utili-
ties Commission in the District build
ing on March 10. when the proposed
abandonment will be UP for hearing
