NIGHT BUS FOR PASSENGERS
OPERATING ON PACIFIC COAST
REGULAR Line Schedule Maintained Be-
tween Seattle and Los Angeles, Skirt
ing Ocean for 1000 Miles.

No longer is the bus a daytime
mode Of travel with only the comforts
required in daylight hours. The con-
venience of nighttime travellers Is
provided for bus passengers on the
Pacific Coast.
Day and night schedules are being
maintained for busses between Seattle
and Los Angeles over q route skirting
the Pacific Ocean for more than 1000
miles. The big motor coaches are not
only running at night. but when bed
time comes the occupants may push
buttons that allow the high-back seats
to drop to a reclining position. Deep
piled upholstery provides the re-
mainder of the sleeping appointments.
Though these bus sleeping chairs
may not be complete substitutes for
ones own bed, they do supply the
means for considerable rest. They re-
semble a Morris chair In their opera
ton, and to cater further to the whims
Of the passengers the backs may be
set In four different positions, so that
as many angles may be chosen by
them for the extent to which they
wish to recline. The seats are provid-
ed with air cushions.
Small Kitchens an Addition.
These couchlike seats, however. are
not the only departures from usual
bus equipment. Some of the coaches
have small kitchens built into them.
So tiny are they that the steward who
prepares and serves the meals scarce
ly can turn around. The little cubi-
cles have been planned with such care
that they afford sufficient room to pro-
duce a surprising variety of items on
the dining menu.
No one has tried to run nonstop
service the whole way from Seattle to
Los Angeles. Usually there is a
change at Portland and another at San
Francisco. Only on the third leg Of
the journey-from San Francisco to
Los Angeles-are the busses equipped
with the features that allow the trip
to be made without stops. Passengers
generally prefer to get out Of the
busses now and then to stretch a bit.
even If the trip does take longer. The
majority also prefer to eat at a table

To keep busses from being delayed
when far from terminals, several
operating companies have purchased
airplanes for use as trouble shoot
ers." Should an axle break or a
gasket burn out when the bus is too
far away from home for quick ar
rival of a relief bus, the driver gets
a passing autoist to take him to the

at 9 pm. and arriving at s am. the
next day.
Overnight Service Long q Dream.
For several years bus operators
have dreamed of giving overnight
service. Some promoters even pre-
pared plans for busSes with bodies and
berths patterned after Pullman cars.
But none was ever built and tested
out in actual service. Instead, the
more natural line Of development was
followed, resulting in adjustable seats
for sleeping hours.
The United States Supreme Court
perhaps deserves credit, II there be
any, for the development of sleeper
bus service. BY decision handed
down recently the court held that the
State governments could not regulate
busses doing an interstate business
only. and thus opened wide the field
of passenger transportation across
State lines. Long distance bus serv'
ice was Immediately stimulated. Keen
competition between rival companies
and also the desire to equal train
service led to the adoption of night
schedules.

spotty go over II lightly with a clean,
wet sponge. Clean the sponge and so

When the hood dries. rub briskly with
a soft, clean cloth. Drying with q
chamois will make It unnecessary to
rub with a rag, but the chamois is
not so good for the finish.
An occasional polishing, however, Is
advisable in order to keep the finish
from excessive drying.

CLEANING NEEDS CAUTION
Engine Presents Problem in Fire
Unless Cool.

Cleaning the engine is most laud.
able. but 1t Is better to leave 1t un-
cleaned unless one will use reasonable
care during the process. The work
should not be done until the engine is
thoroughly cool. A mixture of kero-
sene and gasoline is ideal for cleaning
purposes. but It creates temporary
fire hazard. After the work Is done,
the engine should not be started until
1t has thoroughly dried. Take no

if, even after reports were made by

an impartial investigating body

Mayor Dever said that the problem
in Chicago extended to other great
cities of the country and that the

gotten in the prohibition question.
Senator Harreld asked if legisla-

To Extract Loot

A "ukelele bandit" amply proved
to the police and Samuel Peters

1545 Seventh street, early TINS
morning that a musical soul may
also harbor criminal ambitions.
One of two colored hold-up men
who demanded Peters money-and
got $26 of tin the lunchroom
about 3 o'clock this morning,
waived an aesthetic ukelele over
his head in the manner of a club
for ready use if Peters showed

at Peters. There was no occasion
to use either instrument; Peters
complied with the demand. Police

FLAGS ON STREETS
Veterans to Appear Before Fine
Arts Commission in Effort to
Meet Agreement.

! Norman 3. Landreau, representing
the American Legion, and Charles ii.
| Reilley, representing the Veterans or
| Foreign Wars. will appear before the
! Fine Arts Commission at its meeting
| Thursday to attempt to straighten
out the tangle of views that has
arisen over sale and placing of flags
and flagstaffs on the downtown
streets, as sponsored by joint vet
erans' committee. In the meantime
| sale of the flags and staffs will be
continued under authority Of permit
! issued a month ago by the District
| Commissioners authorizing placing
of the national emblem on the dCwn-
town streets.
The commission at its February
| meeting approved the installation in
principle, but suggested to the veter-
ans committee that certain changes
be made in the design of both flag
and staff. The veterans spokesman,
not wishing to experiment over a
long period Of time with various de
signs, went ahead and secured d
permit for the installations from the
District heads. Across the face of
the permit is a warning that the in
stallations are subject to the approval
of the Fine Arts Commission.
The latter body claims that the
veterans are proceeding without au-
thority, while the service mems
organizations counter with the state
ment that both the staffs and flags
have been found perfectly satisfactory
in other cities, and that to make fur
ther experiments would be a needless
waste of time and money. Several
merchants who have signed to pur-
chase the flags and staffs havee
sought the advice Of the fine arts
body.
