BUS
HEARING IS SOUGHT.
Citizen Federation Official
Also Wants Reopening
on 0ne-Man Cars.

William NICK. Clayton, chairman of
the public utilities committee of the
Federation of Citizens Associations,
announced last night that he would
petition the Public Utilities Commits
sion to grant the Washington Rapid
Transit Co. a public hearing on It's
application for permission to pur-
chase six new busses of the double
deck type.
The commission denied the appli-
cation last week without the for
mality of a public hearing, and Mr..
Clayton declared that this was a bad
principle for that body to adopt.
The company, in the meantime, is
taking a poll of it's bus riders TO as
certain If they favor an increase IN
the number Of the twO-deck busses
on the streets of Washington. The
commission will be advised or the re
suit. and If the sentiment indorses
this type of bus the company plans
to ask for reconsideration of its ap-
plication.
May BE Reopened.
Engineer Commissioner j. Frank
lin Bell chairman of the commission,
indicated last night that in view or
recent developments the double-deck
DuS question: may oC iCOPNi'~N' NN
if it is public hearing likely VIII
be held.
"If there is considerable sentiment
in favor of the double-deck busses we
want to know it." said Col. Bell
"The ballot will serve a certain pur'
pose, but the motorist must be con
sidered, too. 1t seems to me that the
proper thing to do is to sound OUT
the man who drives an automoDlle
as we'll as the bus riders
The company's request for author
ity to put six additional double-deckers
into service was denied primarily, 1t
was explained, because of a report by
Clifford Lanham, superintendent OF
trees and parkings, that considerable
trimming Of shade trees would nave
to be done on account OF the hlgn
busses. The bus company was un.
able to understand why additional
busses would injure trees any more
than the ones running now.
Scrapping of Cars.
Mr.. Clayton said his petition also
would contain a request for reconsid
Grafton of the application of the
Washington Railway & Electric Co
for authority to scrap 10 of it's old
type one-man cars and replace them
with an equal number of modern
front-entrance and rear-eXit cars
This application was approved with
out public hearing, Mr.. Clayton con
tends, and the case is in the same
category with that of the Washington

ATHLETICS FAVORED

NEW YORK, May IL R).--A vir-
tual ending of athletic competition for
young women was urged at the second
days session of the convention of the
Women'S division of the Amateur Ath-
letic Association.
Elimination of rules, written for
men for various sports, and the re-
moVal of the championship idea from
Womens colleges were advocated.
The speakers agreed that more at
tention should be paid to the kind of
athletic and physical training suited to
the Individual than to the ruthless
physical destruction" which was at
tributed to the work of women's foot
ball and basket ball teams.
While declaring that all girls should
have some form of athletics, the
speakers felt this exercise should be
for the purpose Of physical benefit
rather than take the form of effort to
become stars, win medals or vanquish
other schools.
DIR. Margaret Bell, chairman of the
medical advisory committee of the or
ganization, said that while it is rec
OgniZed that some girls could partici-
pate in more strenuous athletics than
others, no general statement can be
made by medical people as to what
should be barred and each individual
case should be investigated"
Miss Louise Patterson, assistant
professor of athletics at the Univer-
sity of Michigan, discussed the train.
ing of girls as assistants to physical
directors. Other speakers included

education of the high schools of Cleve-
land, Ohio.
