Capital Traction Company
Likely to Be Given Chevy
Chase Routes

Approval of the two applications
Of the Capital Traction Co. for
bus routes in Chevy Chase was
forecast at the District Building
today. The Public Utilities Com
mission meets tomorrow AFTERNOON
to act officially on the company's
petition.
There is no doubt the commits
sion will reject the petition Of the
Washington Rapid Transit Co. to
run a bus line on Connecticut
avenue, paralieling the tracks of
the traction company.
Plan de Luxe Line.
The traction corporation seeks q
de luxe bus line. from Chevy
Chase circle to the Union Station,
at a fare Of rs cents, and a feeder
bus line. running through Chevy
Chase. at the present token fares.
Vigorous objection to this cor
poration's Harlor car line was
voiced by William Nick. Clayton,
representing the Federation Of Citi-
zens Associations. He favors the
application Of the bus company,
which proposes to run a de luxe
line from Chevy Chase circle to
Fifteenth and FL streets northeast.
At the District Building, the bus
company's application was looked
on as move to block the traction
company's de luxe service. the bus
corporation offering a fare Is. cents
lower.
May Change Route.
The route Of the traction com.
pany's proposed Connecticut avenue
line will probably be changed, ma.
terial objection being made to the
route planned through downtown
Washington. Secretary OF State
Kellogg vigorously opposes thess
buses running past his newly pur-
chased home on Ninteenth street
northwest.
The traction company is prepared
to start its de luxe line within a
few weeks. 1t proposes to guar
antee a seat to each passenger. a
9hlVhIhS -Sdt VIII also DC spTONIuSus
The buses will run on twenty
minute schedule.
The feeder bus line will supple
ment the Connecticut avenue street
car service. Its route Is through
Chevy Chase east and west of. Con-
necticut avenue. giving transfers to
cars on the avenue. Vigorous OH
lection to the proposed route Of this
line has been made. but there has
been no opposition to the line itself.

CI APPALLING RADIO BROADCASTISG

Restriction of radio broadCasting As. Secretary Hoover reluctantly" admits, is necessary In view Of the multiplicity of broadcasting sta- tions; the air cannot accommodate the large number being projected. There are too many purely self-ad- vertising stations which give such Inferior entertainment that nobody will miss them if they arc forced to go out of business. As Mir. Hoover indicates, 1t Is not fair to curtall the activities Of high grade stations in order to permit the poor ones to function. So far IS the public is concerned, the poor ones need not function at all.
 This Is q free country, Of course, and the air is free 10 all; but traf- hc in radio broadcasting must be regulated ah rlgidly as street trat- fc. Every weeks sccs now broal- casting stations hob m, and moro than 100 ne~ ones are said to he projected.

THE HOUSE DIVIDED

The Democratic party Of New York city today is faced with the possibility of contributing to the election of Republican mayor next November by being divided against itself William R, Hearst, the journalistic luminary who has held Mayor Hylan in his orbit, an- hounced today through his evening aewspaper that q third party would hs placed in the field. The nomina- eon of Senator James J. Walker by Tammany probably will avail little If; the Democratic vote Is to be d. tded between Walker and the Fly hn independent ticket,
 The Hylan- Hearst Independent 6cket would be a logical outcome Of such q bitter family row as that perpstrated in the metropolis dur ing the primary. It would be a re- venge move without possibility of success for Hylan: but the Hearst and Hylan camps, failing to attain the nomination. evidently are will ing to ruin anything they cannot control.
 The victory of Walker over Hylan at the primary was likewise a splen- did victory Of Governor Al Smith oyer Hylan. The governor retains his prestige as the scintllant star of the Dem ocratic Armament, a prestige that can scarcely be affected by the movement Of ruination and revenge sponsored by the Hearst -Hylan combine.
 Whatever eventually happens, Now York is likely to obtain an efi- cicnt mayor, as both Walker and Waterman are of a caliber worthy the confidence of citizens. The Hesrst-Hylan outfit may be able 10 revenge itself. but 1t cannot in so doing prevent a better man than Hylan from becoming mayor.

The Traprock Museum of Un-
 Natural History By pr. Walter F. TraproCR
The Feline Group

Cats, from the lime Of the Egyptians, have been greatly prizcd by women who share some of their attributes, their grace. their love of comfort, and other qualities which l will pass over.
 In the museum we approach the subject of cats with our usual sci entiGc thoroughness, taking uI the development of the fcine-proto- plasm through its vegetable forms of cat-tails, cat-briers, catnip, cat kins and pussy willows, it's animal ismS such as the catamount and the fish and bird lines, the catfish and the catbird There are also such mechanical phases us the cat-o- ninetails and the Cat-boat, among many others.
 The cat-boat, by the way, was the creation of the natives of Cata- Ionia, Mediterranean province of Spain, who used them in fishing for the ea-puss, from which is de- rived our modern cat-gut. It is to inc Spanish Sea-puss company of Valencia that we owe our large crop of violinists. Without this en- terprising company, whose slogan is Get the Gut" we would never have had our Ysayes, Heiiitzcs, Zlmbalists, and ferry boat orches- tras.
 The Egyptians considered the cat a sacred animal and at the death of a prominent person all the cats in the place were mummitied and buried along with the main guy. Thanks 10 this custom we have been able to obtain for the museum Cleopatra's pet cat, a Thcban tor toisc-shell. perfectly preserved. We learn that it's name was Mamie. for the collar still bears gold plate upon which, in hieroglyphics, Is the inscription, ITO Mamie, from Marc Antony, June 3, 112 B. C."
 Although this is our most val uablc possession we do not special i@e in regal fclines but have a full line of common or alley cats. so much so that every Thursday is Children's day at the museum when kittens arc given away 10 the little ones if accompanied by par ent or guardian.
