 Cub Success Based on Courtesy

YELLOW CAB service has been built up to it's present high standard through the personality of it's drivers.
 When we say that evAy driver is an escort 1t implies more than the mere common courtesy due everybody who rides in taxicab. Our driver knows that your continued patronage helps hlm in his share of our earnings every time you ride ill any YELLOW CAB
 The foundation of our efficient operating service is unfailing courtesy which We rate equally high with efficiency Through careful selection we get the pick of many applicants and no matter how high an estimate is placed on a mans ability to drive cab if he is devoid of the clear understanding of our rules of courtesy he does not remain with us. He must be both efficient and courteous.
 Most of our drivers need no instruction on this score because they are naturally kind and considerate. Those who fail to comply with our rules safeguarding our patrons or who refuse to recognize courtesy as business asset usually drift to some other field of endeavor
 No public service Company is in closer intimate touch with it's patrons than the YELLOW CAB and the thousands who ride in our cabs not only make courtesy profitable but there is also lot of satisfaction in it for everybody concerned with YELLOW CAB.

force would consist of 160 men and its purpose would be to guard the American legation. At the same time officials of the Diaz govern ment, which has been recognized by the United States. were quoted as saying that the move would save the republic from anarchy.
 State department comment made no mention of specific peril to for eigners in Managua. or of the movement of liberal troops toward the capital.
 Coincident with the announce ment of the landing of the addi- tional marines, the pan-American federation of labor issued a state- ment declaring Secretary Kellogg had committed an error when he recognized the government of President Diaz, which is opposed by the liberals headed by Juan B. Sacasa. Sacasa has been recognized by Mexico.
 The American recognition. the statement said. has caused unnec- essary i'll feeling against the moral prestige of the democratic Ameri- can institutions all over the world. because it was useless, unjust and inimical to the people," of both countries.

COOLIDGE STANDS PAT ON THE NAVY
Still Opposed to Building New
 Cruisers at Present

Washington, Jan. 5 LF-In the face of the gathering storm in con- gress over enlargement of the Amer ican navy, President Coolidge today reaffirmed his opposition to the con- struction of new cruisers at the present time.
 In a letter to Chairman French of the house subcommittee con- sidering naval appropriations, the president declared that the budgets recommendations, emitting funds for the new ships represents my best judgment" and added that he felt il his duty to stand by that recom- mendation.
 Mr. Coolidge added. however. that he saw no objection to a congres- sional authorization" for more war ships of the cruiser type provided there was no call on the treasury to carry the authorization into effect.
 When the letter reached the capi- tol, the house naval committee was hearing testimony regarding the condition of the navy, including a statement of Rear Admiral C. c. Bloch, the ordnance chief, that the nations present naval force includes about 20 old cruisers that "wouldn t have a chance against modern ship"
 On the basis of this and other statements, some of the house re- publican leaders were giving serious consideration to a proposal to over ride the budget recommendations and authorize construction of at least three cruisers.
 President Coolidge's letter appar- emily was prompted by widely circu- lated reports that he had receded from his previous position. The text of the communication follows:
 My dea" Mir French:
 This is to assure you that when l send a budget to the congress if represents my Test judgment and that I fee, it my duty to defend il and support it, which I do at all times unless l send up supplement tai estimate.
 This is sent to you because of certain reports which have come to me relative to further appropriations for the building Of cruisers. The fact that l have expressed to certain members of the house naval com- mittee my willingness to approve an authorization for more cruisers, if the congress wished to provide for them in accordance with the recom- mcndations In my general message, has apparently resulted in the con- fused conclusion that I had changed my attitude on my budget messa ge in rela.Io.: to building more than the five cruis"rs wlich we are now build ing turing the present year.

MONROE DOCTRINE DOES NOT APPLY
So Declares Borah Regarding
 Nicaragua

Washington, Jan. GP - An- nouncement of the landing of a new force of American marines in Nicaragua was followed today by a statement by Chairman Borah of the senate foreign relations commit tee that the Monroe Doctrine has mo relation either to the situation in Nicaragua or the trouble in Mexico.
 The latest American force to be sent ashore in Nicaragua will go to Managua, the capital where the state department said protection had been requested by the American. British and Italian legations.
 The question of applicability of the Monroe doctrine was discussed among other things at a closed meet ing of the foreign relations commit tee and it was decided that Secretary Kellogg would be asked to appear before the committee later.
 The propaganda being put out that the Monroe doctrine has some application to the Nicaraguan and Mexican situations has no foundation in fact" Senator Borah said in his statement. "The Monroe doctrine has no relation to the questions in- volved.
 No European government, no non-American government. is inter- fering in Nicaragua or Mexico or protesting to do so.
 "In Nicaragua the revolution is be- ing carried on by those who claim that Sacasa is the constitutional president, and is purely an internal affair.
 Tn Mexico it is a question of title to oil. The British oil interests or companies seem willing to comply with the Mexican laws. Under no conceivable theory can the Monroe doctrine have any application.
