PRAYERS SAVE REFUGE
Dramatic Story of Villages De-

SYDNEY, N. S. W., Feb. IL
One hundred men, women and chill
dren Of what was once the town of
Noojee believed today that prayer
had saved their lives when the
Victoria forest fires swept down up
on the hamlet.
They had seen the scattered
dwellings disappear until all but one
was gone. This they turned into a
church and there, during the night
as pine smoke swept in, they
prayed.
OF a sudden, the wind shifted and
this last refuge was safe with its
little congregation.

The beginning Of the Lenten
season, and extremely heavy re-
ceipts had disastrous effect on

ducers to transport with compare
tive easy.

ket was finally fixed at so cents

pigs commanded the next highest

BUS STORAGE RAISES

Suit Threatened if w. r. T. Puts
Garage on Arkansas Ave-

The Washington Rapid Transit
Company is destined to have consider
able difficulty in locating a permanent
home for its EusseS and general Of
fees, judging from recent develop
ments which were revealed today at
the Public Utilities Commission.
Several weeks ago the company Pc
titioned the commission to authorize
II to remodel the subbasement Of the
Capital Traction Company's car barn
at Fourteenth and Decatur streets,
and use ii for bus storage and its gen
eral headquarters, under a 10-year
lease. While the commission has not
yet acted on this application, indica-
tions were that it was ready to ad-
wise the company to build a garage
on property it owns at the corner OF
Arkansas avenue and Buchanan
street
Yesterday, however. Julius F. Has
sin. an attorney. filed a brief with
the commission threatening legal ac-
ton If the company attempts to erect
a garage on the corner lot. He said
he represented n number Of neighbors.
Under the Zoning regulations consent

NEW YORK, October 23-"Ah, but
monsieur, this caviar, 1t is f1t for a
Queen. it would give her great joy.
Gladly we give you g ny amount you
wish for the Queen"
But the caviar salesman's entreaties
were in vain. His caviar did not grace
the table Of Her Majesty Queen Marie
of Rumania within the portals Of her
fashionable Park avenue hotel
If it wasn't caviar it was corn salve.
or perhaps curling irons. always the
answer was the same. and the chief
steward of the Hotel Ambassador,
where the Queen is living in a 20
room suite during her stay in New
York, turned away with a sigh and
a weary shrug. He has had to mobil-
ize his whole force to stand off a
deluge Of perfume. thermos bottles,
pancake -four and what not proffered
by the ingenious representatives Of
American firms eager to tell the world
just what suits a Queens taste.
Guards on Both Sides.
Such is life for a Queen. On the
one side. all manner Of guards, from
a State Department emissary to silk
hated sleuth Of the bomb squad Of
New York's police force, watch her
every move to shield her from the
great unwashed of this republic, while
on the other small army Of attend
ants shoe away the merchant princes,
who come bearing gifts.
Only three gifts" have found their
way into Queen Mares hotel suite
here. One, grand piano worth $4,000,
was merely loaned for the period of
her visit. A quantity of perfume and
thermos bottles complete the assort-
ment.
But from Washington comes differ
ent news. Americas business poten-
tates apparently haven't found the
avenues of approach to the Rumanian
legation so tightly closed. In fact,
when Queen Marie paid her royal visit
to the Capital, 1t Is said she found the
cellar Of the legation and the garage
we'll stocked with every imagina BILE
thing from hairpins to automobiles
These had been sent on by the makers
for the Queens entoyment-and in
dorsement-and tied to each. or other
wise accompanying each, was a sub
stantial check.

CIVIC TR|UMV|RATE
MEETS TOMORROW
Inter-Federation Conference
Will Hold First Gathering
Since Formal Birth.

The Inter Federation Conference,
composed of representatives Of civic
federations in the, District Of Colum-
bia, Montgomery County, Md, and
Arlington County, Va, will hold its
first meeting since formal ratification
members, tomorrow evening at the
Lee House.
The nter-Federation Conference,

cial body during the Summer months

ganiZation and constructive work in
the promotion of a greater National
Capital, is expected to prove one of
the great forces in the development

Already elaborate plans have been
discussed looking toward great ma
tional campaign to "sell' Washing
ton to the people of the Nation. pro-
noting the interests of the city and
it's environs and building up concrete
knowledge Of its beauty and its de-
STABILITY as America s foremost resi-
dental city. Much preliminary work
has been done along this line and it
is expected that within the course of
the next few weeks definite steps will
have been taken looking toward
financing a great permanent public
ity bureau to carry out desired ends.
It is the purpose of the Inter-Fed-
Grafton Conference to take up such
problems as commonly affect the Dis
trict of Columbia and nearby sec
tions in Maryland and Virginia.
Among the first of these possibly will
be the question Of united effort in bet
tering transportation lines into the
heart of the city from outlying COM
munities.
Want Better Transportation.
According to the assertions Of civic
leaders in Maryland and Virginia,
transportation problems have been
approached upon a short-sighted basis
and the rapid growth and develop
ment of territories contiguous to the
District have been hindered by in
different service of established bus
and street car lines and ruling Of pub
lie service commissions peculiarly to
the interest of established systems.
Civic leaders argue that there should
be determined effort to remedy ex-
listing conditions and doubly insure
the logical development Of the Greater

tation systems leading into the heart
Of Washington.
The delegates to the Inter-F'edera-
ton Conference will, following Gus

ARMY OF GUARDS WATCH MARIE
TO KEEP OFF BUSY ADVERTISERS
Ambitious Statesmen Besiege Hotel Seeking
Endorsement for Wares-Queen Might
Get Pretty Penny for 20. K"

One who processes to know says
these checks totaled nearly $25O,OOO.
All that the Queen needed to do was
to write 20. K, Marie" and pocket
the money. Whether she did or will
do so has not been disclosed.
People may have an idea that part
of the Queens bodyguard is composed
of Federal Secret Service men, but
such Is not the case. Four members
of the royal encourage are Rumanian
guardsmen - professional aristocrats
they may be called. for they dress In
the height of fashion and not in the
checkered-cap manner of sleuths.
Ten detectives, picked men hired by
the hotel. guard the Queen in her
royal suite. Two men keep constant
watch day and night in the halls out
side her palatial apartments. When
she appears in public in New YORK

suave, well dressed men, are close at
bluecoats who hold back the curious
crowds.
New Style i'm Guards.
During the Queens visit to Wash
ington a new style of national care
taker pushed the Secret Service men
out of the ljnelight. The Depart
ment OF State substituted one of it's
own special agents as guardian for
the Lady of the Balkans. The Secret
Service was good enough for the Bel
gian monarchs, the Prince of Wales.
Marshal Foch and other celebrities.
But Queen Marie was different. The
State Department decided she re-
Quired a protector with spats, cut
away and high silk hat, SO the Joe
Murphys and Bill Byes of the regular
service, with their derbies and ever
watchfu, eyes, lost the assignment in
favor Of a dignif1ed and distinguished
gentleman from the special foreign
agency service.
This special agent, whose name the
State Department hallows with much
secrecy, was on the Leviathan and at
tached to the Queens encourage be-
fore Marie was met by New York's
welcoming committee. He fulfilled his
mission well apparently, for the Queen
arrived in Washington nappy and con-
tented, and left feeling well and en-
tirely satisfied with the attentions de-
voted to her safety and comfort.

DRIVERS ARE URGED
TO RENEW PERMITS
Drastic Means Likely to Be
Adopted Here to Avert
LaSt-Minute Rush.

Drastic action was threatened by
Traffic Director NJ. o. Eldridge yes
terday to force motorists to renew
their drivers permits. unless more
applications for the permits are filed
voluntarily.
While the Traffic Bureau is equipped
to reissue permits at the rate OF 900
a day. Mr. Eldridge said that less
than one-half that number is being
sent out because Of the procrastina-
ton of motorists in filing applications.
May Ask for Action.
Just few days more will be al
lowed motorists to apply voluntarily
for the permits. according to the traf
fic director, and if the number of ap-
plications fails to increase materially
in that time, he said he will recon-
mend to the Commissioners that a
procedure be adopted to compel auto
mobile drivers to apply for the new
permits.
The Commissioners have set
December 81 as the final date on
which applications may be filed for
the new permits, but Mr.. Eldridge
said if a ma jority of the motorists
wait until that time it will be
physical 1mpOSSlblllty for the franc
Bureau to renew the permits before
the New Year when the old permits
become invalid. AS a result, he
pointed out, thousands of drivers will
be denied the privilege of driving on
January /.
Plan TO Force Renewal,
The plan conceived by Mr.. Eldridge
to force the renewal ofs the outstand
ing old permits. contemplates fixing
a date on which the permits will
become invalid, according to the per-
nit number. For instance. motor
lists holding permits numbered from
l to $4,000 would be required to have
them renewed during November
December !, those permits not re-
newed would be invalid. and the hold
ers would be arrested for driving
without a legal license.
Il hope it will not be necessary to
take such a drastic step" said the
traffic director, but it will be abso-
lutely necessary unless drivers indi-
cate their Willingness to cooperate
with the Traffic Bureau by applying
for new permits in the very near
future"
