SPOONING ON UNLIGT1TED BUSES
BRINGS PROTEST FROM POLICE
Lovers Antics on Top Decks Even Shock
Policemen, They Say, in Asking
Board to Compel Lights

Spooning parties on the dark upper
decks of the double -decked busses OF
the Washington Rapid Transit Co.
have so shocked Washington's hard
ened police officials that they are urg-
ing the Public Utilities Commission to
throw some light on the question.
Mai Edwin B. Hesse, superintend-
ent of police, adopted a recommends
ton of Capt. Fred NJ. Cornwell of the
tenth precinct, who suggested that
the tops Of these rolling rendezvous
of romantic lovers be flooded with dis
tracing illumination. designed TO pre-
clude public "petting."
"You can't imagine what goes on
on those second-story .busses." Capt.
CornweH explained, with touch or
embarrassment.
Captain Has Seen Plenty.
"I've seen enough to convince me
that the only thing to do is to turn
on the spotlight, and so l made
recommendation to that effect"
. Capt. Cornwell. who has an enviable
reputation for stoicism in the face of
all sorts of unusual occurrences. was
loath to go into all the blissful details
about the bus parties. He begged to
be excused from giving a dove's-eye
picture of just what he has seen with
his own eyes.
Suffice it to say" he said modestly.

teenth street. Sometime ago they
were accused of harboring a harvest
of "peeping Toms" whose undue
interest in the boudoir panoramas
along the bus route robbed modest
residents of second-f1oor privacy. The
Public Utilities Commission. in public
hearing, was advised that one had to
keep ones shades lowered If one
didn't wish to be stared at.
OF late, however, this sport seems
to have suffered marked decrease in
popularity, and in it's place has
sprung up this romance business.
AS consequence, no doubt, the
tables have been reversed, with the
peeping, if any. being done by those
on the inside, looking out.
It's a most disturbing question that
has been put up to the statistically.
inclined experts of the Public Utilities
Commission, and they are certain to
have a difficult time figuring 1t out
to the satisfaction Of the blushing
chief of police and his Mortified
captain.

SCHOOL UNIT URGES
DISTRICT SUFFRAGE
Peyser Charges Board of
Education Holds Secret
Meetings-WiII Protest.

The Public School Association of
the District of Columbia last night.
at a meeting in the boardroom of
the District building, reiterated its
former stand faVOring suffrage for the
District of Columbia as means OF
remedying alleged unsatisfactory con-
ditions in the public school and Of CIV
ing the people of this city the liberty
and rights of citizenship enjoyed by
citizens elsewhere
The resolution was introduced by
w. J. Tucker, who charged that under
the present system the school chill
dren here are studying the Govern
ment of the United States. in which
they are unable to take part.
Follows Yaden Address.
Introduction OF the resolution came
after an address on What Are the
Suffrage Needs OF the District of
Columbia?" by James G. Yaden, for
mer president of the Public School
Association and now candidate for
election to the presidency of the Fed
Grafton Of Citizens Assertions. Mr..
Yaden declared there are very few
people in the District who do not
favor suffrage In some form. adding
that the absence of the voting privi-
leRe here is due to lack of co-opera-
ton on the part of the people in
working for it,
Il do not understand why the people
OF the District should not have the
authority to govern themselves. he
said Il believe they have just as
much intelligence As the people In
any other section of the country. If
the necessary intelligence is lacking,
then thorough investigation should
lie made not only of the public
schools. but Of the colleges and uni
<ersities here"
Mr.. Yaden described many alleged
unsatisfactory conditions existing in
the public school system and sug-
gested an elected Board of Education
as a remedy, adding that such a board
fr composed of the same members
now In Office would be more re-
eponsive to the wishes OF the people.
Capt. Julius l. Peyser, president OF
the association. made a further plea
for District suffrage. stating that
through lack of II the people of the
District cannot take case 10 the
Federal courts. because they are
not legally citizens of the United
States"
Charging that the Board of Edu-
cation has been holding secret meet
ings. under the head of committee
sessions, the association adopted a
resolution authorizing capt. Peyser
10 protest TO the District Commits
sfoners and before the congressional
committee investigating District af-
fairs. Such meetings were declared
TO be illegal except where the ap-
pointment OF teachers is being con-
sidered.
The association also readopted a
former resolution favoring, in prin-
ciple, the Gasque bill providing for
the election of the Board Of Educa-
ton by the citizens Of the District.

NEW YORK, December 8.-What

the soles of the feet, in the opinion

letics. Dempsey lost because his feet
had gone back on him.
And with that theory. Duncan says,
he can teach any one the art of hit
ting a golf ball after a few lessons.
Duncan said that most British golf
ers were much concerned over the
clash of American and British open
dates. which will prevent the stars
of both countries competing in both
events in 1927. He expressed the opin-
ion, however, that sufficient pressure
would be brought to bear upon the
royal and ancient club championship
committee to cause a moving forward
of the British date.
When British championships are
held in June the courses are so fast
with few exceptions. that almost every
hole is a drive-and- pitch affair, Duncan
says.
