committee who have charge or bring
ing the roll !, call subscription totals
up to the $1,000 mark have decided
upon campaign by circular letters
and are now at work getting the

up this total and they expect that
the. results will be quickly realized.
The efforts are being directed by
D. G. O'Neil apd Henry W. Williams

fraction of the amount goes to the
state organization, the larger portion
remaining for work to be done under
the direction OF the Red Cross in

Shop Early

There are not so many shop
ping days before Christmas as
mere were when firstyou were
asked to do YOU Christmas buy
ing easly and there's no hope
that the number is going to in
crease between now and, mid
night of the twenty-fourth.
Nor will prices be reducer; Oh
will the quality of the goods
now on the shelves increase. So
why linger and delay?
Perhaps there are those who
believe that do your Christ
mas shopping early" is slogan
devised by merchants who tho
ught they would sell more GOO
DIS if people bought early, and
then took thought, and discov-
cred that there was more buy
ing they ought to do. But while
that doubtless occurred to the
merchants, it was not by any
means the controlling motive
that inspired the shop-early pro
-paganda which greets us an
nually.
The fact is, the request for
early Christmas shopping came
first, chieflyfrom the postoffic
es, the express companies, the
railroads and the sales and deli
verify people, all of whom found
themselves swamped by tidal
wave that hit them suddenly
and left them devasted. Some
way had to be found for contr-
olling this tide, for disturbing
its volume. So an attempt was
made to educate the public into
buying early and shipping early
The fear of the merchant is
not so much that his sales will
rot reach the hoped-for peak as
that his future will be leopard
lied. There is nothing that so
dlsrupts a carefully-built organ
lzation as the overstrain of two
or three days and nights of
hurried and harried labor befor
Christmas Clerks break down
some leave others are not fit a.
gam for sometime, and mean
system goes to the dogs and the
sales-machine has to be rebuilt.
customers, too, offend at some
frlzzled employee, get sore and
VOW never to trade there again.
80 the merchants desiring to
serve his public well, asks the
public to help him do so by dis
trlbuting Christmas buying over
as long a period as possible.
50 it behoves the public, since
It wants good service, to render
the chief element in that serv-
ice is the human element and
that the human machine breaks
under undue strain Just like
any piece of machinery. And be-
cause there is a human element
involved, and because Christmas
IS a time of special charity to
all human beings, it is only re-
sonable that shoppers and ship
pers be considerate of the stor
clerk, the postal employee and
the servants of the express com
panles and railways. They want
to enjoy Christmas, too. Whv
make the Yuletide hateful to
tnem Have a heart. Do your
Christmas shopping early.

CITIZENS TRACTION
HEARING IS DENIED
Commission Rejects Plan for
Public Meeting to Air
Fare Issues.

The Public Utilities Commission yes.
terday decided to defer action on a
recent request of the public utilities
committee of the Federation of Citi-
zens' Associations that a public hear.
ing be held to consider reduced street
car fares for school children, the sale
of three car tokens for 20 cents and
the issuance of universal transfers.
Inasmuch as these three PROPOSE.
tions would involve n reduction in the
present rate of street car fares and
the fact that neither the Capital Trac-
ton nor the Washington Railway &
Electric companies is earning a fair
return, the commission held that 1t
would not be justified in calling a pub
lie hearing to consider them at this
time. However, if public hearing is
held in the near future on any other
question concerning the traction COM
panies, the commission said it would
consider the request of the federation
committee.
The commission authorized the
Washington Railway & Electric Co. to
reconstruct it's tracks along Massachu-
setts avenue from the intersection of
G street to the Union Station Plaza.
and ordered the continuation through
the Summer months of motor bus
service to Eastern High School. The
bus service to the high school in past
years was suspended during the school
vacation period.
Further consideration will be given
by the commission to a proposal to
relocate the car tracks around Dupont
Circle in order to improve traffic con-
ditions. The Washington Railway &
Electric Co. has opposed the plan be-
cause of the expense involved. Will
liam F. Ham, president Of the COM
pany. will be invited to confer with
the commission Monday afternoon in
regard to the plan.
