not enforced Miss Abbott declared.
Children who present every con-
ceivable individual problem, diffcult

all parts of the United States to be
shaped in their youth by uniformed.
unskilled and absolutely incompetent

NEW $4,000 CARS
/. TO WAGE BUS WAR
Interurban Railways, Hit by
"De Luxe" Competition,
Plan Comeback.

The interurban railways, hard hit
by the competition of the de luxe"
motor bus, have developed a new
car which is designed as an answer
to the challenge of the bus, the first
of which is to be tried out on the
Washington, Baltimore and Annap-
oils Railroad, it was announced from
the company's offices here today.
One Of the new cars. referred to
as the Pullman type for pubic
consumption, but known to- trainc
men as "articulated cars. was given
a trial run yesterday with ofnclals
of the company and representatives
of the Public Utility Commissions OF
Washington, Baltimore and Clevelan nd

Deemed Most Satisfactory.
Capt Klotz said the car was
most satisfactory Improvement over
the old type, having practically no
vibration and equipped with the
deeply upholstered seats, which have
made the big motor busses so pop
ular. In addition, he said. the car ia
SO constructed that it is capable OF
greater speed with less SWaylhg anu
little or no discomfort to the pas
sengers.
Capt. Klotz explained that the We
hicle is really two cars in one. Instead
of having two trucks, as the older
cars have, the "articuIated cars" have
three trucks. The car then breaks in
the middle, working on hinges" in
such a maner that passengers may
walk from one section TO the other in
transit without danger.
10 Cars Cost S500,090.
The Washington, Baltimore & An
napolis road has purchased 10 of the
cars at cost of $500, 900. All are ex-
pected to be on regular passenger
service within a few weeks. j. j.
Doyle, president of the local inter-
city line, will bring a delegation of
Baltimore business men to Washing
ton this afternoon on the first of the
cars to be received.
James Fl. Alexander, president of
the Cleveland Railways Co, another
member of the party that made the
inspection, said that the competition
of the more comfortable motor buses
has resulted In large losses for inter-
urban lines in his State. He expressed
a belief, however, that the new cars
would bring renewed prosperity to
these lines.

DR.. EMILE BERL|NER
GETS DECORATION
German Red Cross BestoWS
Order of Honor for Human
itarian Services.

In recognition of humanitarian serv-
ices to the famished children of Ger
many after the war. DR.. Emile Ber-
liner, noted Washington inventor
has received the Order of Honor of the
German Red Cross.
The order was transmitted to DIR.
Berliner through the German Ambas'
sador, Baron Won Nathan, and was
bestowed specifically lin gratitude for
assisting the Red Cross in Germany.
1t is a decoration seldom conferred on
other than German citizens and only
for pre-eminent humanitarian work.
Among the few Americans who nave
received the order is Judge john Bar
ton Payne. former chairman of the
American Red Cross.
DIR. Berliner's Donation.
DR.. Berliner Is not informed as to
the exact reason for his receiving this
honor. Shortly after the war, how
ever, he sent tons of dried milk to the
children of Germany through the Red
Cross of this country. This, no doubt,
explains the action of the German
Red Cross in comforting the decora-
ton.
Through DIR. Berliner's long and use
full career he has divided his interest
between his inventions and his philan-
thropy. Thirty years ago, through
the death of his first born son, he be-
came interested in child health work.
For years he has maintained bureau
of health education at 1464 Columbia
road To the mother of every new
born child in Washington DIR. Berliner
sends little booklet on child welfare.
Says Booklet Saves Lives.
This book has saved the lives OF
thousands of babies" said DIR. George
NJ. Kober, dean of the medical school
of Georgetown University, in com.
menting on this important phase of
the inventors philanthropy. DIR. Ber-
liner also conducts clinic for under
nourished children at his health bu-
reau.
His gift to the children of Germany
resulting in the saving of numerous
lives. was but part of his efforts in
behalf Of children throughout the
world.

5. it was stated that those arrested
with Nine. Borodin were M. Sierre,
