Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
LONDON.-Budge Row, one of the
streets in the heart Of London, gets
its name from an obsolete word.
Many centuries ago the street was
the place of business of dealers in
"budge," otherwise lambskin, the fur
of which was used as trimming for
the gowns Of the lord mayor and
the alderman and the state robes of
judges.
''Budge" was likewise used by ladies'
OF the nobility. In 1888 and 1858 the
city authorities forbade women with.
out title to decorate their coats
with 1t.
Milton uses the word in "Lycidas"

CAR FARE JUMP
THREATENED

William NICK. clayton's fight
against the use Of one-man cars
here, IL successful, may result in
bringing higher car fares, according
to street railway officials.
The Public Utilities Commission
was ready yesterday to approve
more o1e-nan cars when Clayton
delayed the action by asking for a
hearing. m
William n. Ham, president of the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company. and John III. Hanna,
president of the Capital Traction
Company. have both warned the
commission that IL more One.man
cars are not allowed they will have
to ask for higher fares.
Clayton believes this Is only
threat and that the companies would
not dare to ask for higher fares
for fear Of losing too many pas
sengers.
Profits OF the two street railway
companies have been steadily dwind-
ling during recent years because Of
bus and automobile competition.
They have, however had the right
to ask for higher fares for d long
time Il they wanted them. Their
failure to do so Is proof Of their
fear Of loss In patronage, according
to Mr.. Clayton.
