PERMIT FOR BUS
LINE ON CAPITOL
AVE. IS SOUGHT
Bowman Proposes to Pay
City Percentage of
Gross Receipts.

Promise to pay the city percentage
| Of gross receipts for street upkeep
if the right to run busses on Capt.
tol Ave. from the business district
to its north end is granted, was
made to the board of park commits
sioners today by A. Smith Bowman,
president Of the Peoples Motor
Coach Company.
Busses have been kept off of bou-
levards by the park board ruling
that busses fall under the CONNER
cial vehicle ban.
Two Lines Planned
Bowman proposed to install two
new lines. one running from Monu-
ment Pl. to Capitol Ave. then to
Thirtieth St. and west to Riverside
Park. The other would go from
Monument Pl. to the north end of
Capitol Ave.
Bowman said five minute service
would be given between Thirtieth
st. and the business district and ten
minutes north and west of Thirtieth
St. and Capitol Ave. Service would
be in effect in sixty days, he said.
The payment promised by Bow
man consists of 2 per cent of gross
receipts when passengers exceed
400 day for a 1S0-mile haul; 8 per
cent when passengers exceed 450 for
a 1S0-mile haul; per cent when
passengers exceed 500 for a 1S0-mile
haul.
Clamor for Service
an this connection we will say
that there is a general clamor for
this kind of service and if your board
has any doubts on the subject we
can furnish you with petitions from
a large majority of the residents and
property owners along these lines.
Should you grant us this privi-
lege we believe that the remunera-
ton we propose is adequate, fair
and Just for any damage that may
be done to boulevards."
Bowman offered to go before the
board to explain his proposition
fuller.
Shank Is Opposed
Mayor Shank said that he was
still opposed to any motor busses
operating on boulevards or any
streets ether than those used by
street cars. Law now prohibits bus
use street car line streets.
Even If they do promise to help
pay for upkeep of the streets, they
haven't any right to wear out
streets that taxpayers have paid
for" the mayor said.
He announced he would take no
action until he had conferred with
representatives of luncheon and
civic clubs, whom he has invited to
a discussion of bus traffic.

The Commission" and "Commis-

ernment have been widely adopted
in the United States in recent years
What are these two plans? How
do they operate?
The commission plan of municipal
government was born Of n disaster.
In 1900 Galveston, Texas, built on
a low. sandy island in the Gulf Of
Mexico, was overwhelmed by great
tidal wave. Property valued at mil
lions of dollars was destroyed. One
half Of the city's population was
drows&d and the other half made
homeless. The extent Of the disaster
was appalling.
When the waters subsided the
people Of Galveston found one civic
institution utterly wrecked. That
was the municipal government.

Miss Orpha \. Miner, home dem
onstration agent, in her lectures on
" Healthful Sweets says that the
prevalence of overweight among
people today is due to the excess
use of sugar or candy by the people
in this country. During the last
century, sugar consumption has in
creased from 10 pounds to 30 pounds
annually per person, according to
Miss Miller, with resulting grave
bodily disorders.
Most candy contains no min
erals, vitamins or proteins since it
Is made largely from sugar Mo
lasSeS, maple sugar and retmers syr-
up have organic acids of the cane
or maple and these contain some
valuable minerals. Nut candies have
protein, fat, vitamins and minerals
of ,the nuts and are a good food
taken as a part of the meal,' Miss
Miller states. Dried fruits contain
most of the food value of the fresh
fruit, natural fruit sugars, minerals
and some OF the vitamins. \ whole
some way of satisfying the desire
for sweets is to substitute for the
candy, honey. prunes, dates, raisins,
dried figs and other dried fruits.
Here Are Recipes
Following are the general rules
which Miss Miller outlines for the
use of sweets in the diet and also
-ecipes which she recommends:
|. Neither children (nor most
lduits) should have candy between
meals.
