SEEN
IN 5-CENT
FARE
Capital Traction Head Tells
Senator capper Cut Is
Impossible.

A scent fare in Washington
under present conditions will have
a disastrous result.
George E. Hamilton, president
Of the Capital Traction Company,
makes this. statement in letter
to Senator Arthur Capper, copies
Of which he has forwarded to the
Public Utilities Commission and
chairmen of the House and Sem
ate District committees.
Return for Year.
Hamilton declares that If the s.
cent cash fare had been in opera
ton during the eleven months of
this year, ending November 80 last,
his company would have earned
less than a 1 per cent return on
it's valuation, as fixed by the Pub
lie Utilities Commission.
The corporation president gives a
general survey of the company's
financial condition in his letter,
pointing out that during the past
eleven months the company earned
a return of less than per cent.
No Traffic Increase Seen.
Hamilton states that the suppod-
ton that lower fare would
materially increase traffic cannot be
relied upon and says that ex-
perience in other cities has clearly
shown that reduction of fare to
cents has resulted in a very
small increase in passengers.
Traffic has recently been steadily
decreasing Hamilton says, and there
is every indication that the drop
will continue.

TEACHERS
To HAVE
HELP
Pledges Support to Increased
Salaries and District Suf-
frage Measures.

Declaring himself emphatically
IN favor of District suffrage and
the teachers salary increase,
Congressman Oscar E. Keller Of
Minnesota, who is expected 10
play one Of the leading roles in
the House District Committee
during the coming session, today
pledged his heartiest efforts to
bring about passage of legislation
on both these questions.
Form Is Only Problem.
II am most emphatically in favor
Of District suffrage" he said. There
Ia no question about the desirable
ity OF enfranchising the residents
Of the National Capital. The only
problem Is to decide just what form
Of suffrage should be granted.
1T 10 more important that the
District Of Columbia be given the
kind OF suffrage charter best suited
to fits needs than that it merely be
given a form OF suffrage selected
at random from the various pro-
posals submitted.
There are a number of members
Of the District Committee who are
experienced In civic matters and
civic needs and we are going to
make every effort to see to 1t that
the District ts given what it needs
and what, In all justice. it is en-
titled to in the matter Of represen-
tation In government.
Backs Teachers Increase.
The proposed teachers salary bill,
granting increases which will place
the Washington public school sys-
tenn on q par with other American
cities In this respect, was character
lied by Congressman Keller as be-
ing "of the most fundamental i'm
portance."
The matter OF automobile reci-
procity with Maryland, while impor-
tant, Keller said, is merely "a ques-
ton of dollars and cents" and can
not be compared in importance to
this other legislation. The reci-
procity question, however, he stated,
win be pressed by the committee.

In East Baltimore, In the Polish

ALWAYS SOMETHING NEW

IN SOMETHING OLD
The best Of thlnge were written
And the best Of things were said
BY good people long since lying In the

But, by q mental twist and q little

We can turn out something new from
something old.
Papa's pants ut Willie now;
He thinks he Ii o man
Not because he's as big rs daddy,
Pm told.
Mother cut them out to fit,
And mended where daddy did sit,
There's always something now from
something old.
They buried ''Tut'' in ERyptland
Three thousand years ago,
And they thought the tomb forever
But they didn't put the ban on scIen-
ttfic man,
So he dug up something now from
something old.

For he knows his gang IL ls-carat

OUR NEiGHBORS.
SAYS SAMBO:


Our nelghbOrs, they are splendid folks,
They arc,
Indeed they are our kiMdest friends,
BY far;
They bring us dainty things to eat,
And often when we chance to meet
They bid as park our weary feet
In their car.
Our neighbOrs they are splendid folks,
I'll say,
We always find them merry
And quite gay.
Whenever we go out at night,
They keep the Kid and treat him right,
Such actions cause us great delight,
MURRAY!
Ho hum, what IL the cause of this?
i see,
My dream has ended, no more bliss,
Oh gee;

Have como to ask mo not to snOre;
Our nelghb0rS are an awful bore
To me.

A LAST WORD.
(By Lucille Wilcox, 9Th Grade)

(By Lucille Wilcox, 9Th Grade)
Dawson High School, May 23.-
Dear old Eighth Grade: Another year
has passed. A very happy year indeed
is now numbered with others left be-
hind; but always in our memories we
shall keep a colorful picture of the
joys this special year presented to us
while we were with you. Many Jolly
good times we have had, many hard
tussles with Latin and algebra, but,
after all, it took these to make for
us a good foundation. Dignihed soph-
ignores! 1t seems impossible that we
are to be Little Freshies" no longer
Truly we regret leaving you dear
old eighth grade but as "art is long
and time is fleeing we can not af-
ford to linger longer.
Hoping that your next class will
like you just as we'll as we did and
also that its members have Just as
much pleasure and just as hard work
as we did, we remain, yours passing
on, 1924 Sophomore.

TENTH GRADE.
fIy Guv Harnilton)

Each succeeding year has seemed
better than the last, and our junior
year especially. The joys and sor-
rows that we have experienced have
formed a train of memories that we
hold dear. AS we look back upon the
days that are gone we realize that the
old associations are no more-and
that we are one step farther along
lifes way. Regret for those junior ties
that are broken is coupled with the
knowledge that several of the teach
ers that have meant so much to us
are to go out of our school life for
ever. But far ahead, beyond this
three months rest, we see rising the
senior sun. With eagernesS do we
look forward to our senior year and
the things it holds in store for us.
The seniors of % have accomplish
ed much; they have been our guiding
light; and it is with regret that we
bid them goodbye May our senior
year be as good a year as theirs has
been, and may our influence be as
helpful to the coming seniors as
theirs has been to- u.s..
