reality in 1919, when in the capital
of the First Workers State, was con-

on the solid foundations Of the Marx

G. +. Ruthenberg was at his place.
He greeted the event with heart
full Of joy. He too had struggled to

 1 Now the government had no in tontion whatever of prosecuting MT. Everhart. The law should be such that the judge could require him to testify. assuring him that no testi- monv he might give would be used as grounds for indicting him, just as now a courts decision in a civil 1 rase cannot bo used against q man in a criminal case. The defendants ! in the Fall-Sinclair case were pro- { tcrted from having used against them in the United States supreme courts opinion that the whole Tea pot Dome transaction was tainted with fraud, and similarly witness would hn protected against having his testimony used against him.
 Senator Norris believes that these reforms can he made by federal statutes, and that justice will be served if they are enacted into law. (Copyright, 1927. General Press

No Street Car Merger, By
Legislation, in Sight

The District Committees in Senate and are giving
little serious consideration to the bill approved by the
Public Utilities Commission designed induce the two
District street railway companies to merge.
The main is that Public Utilities Commission
to take charge of public utilities here and may have
views different from the existing commission; may even op
pose merger altogether though it but natural that any
commission should prefer to deal with company than with
two.
Another reason is lack of strong approval Of legislative
features which will lower the taxation upon merged
and increase it if the companies still remain apart
Aside from the validity Of using taxation club to compel
merger is that additional upon the street railways
would not in the end fall upon them at all The public
would be compelled foot the BILL as it is now doing
should be apparent to all officials connected with the Pub
lie Utilities Commission those holding positions those

reasonable return upon valuation which they think they
should have they will to the commission first the
courts later for higher car fares the ground Of ICON

And the street companies know too that the courts are
nearly always sympathetic to the appeals of the corporations
What the new Public Utilities Commission should do is to

equitable than they It could revoke the charters

ScAeCtHHS OSuCES
NEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
~ Isn't it the groom's privi-
lege to select his ushers. or must

groom's mother insists upon escort.
ing her son up the aisle, passing
the ushers and bridesmaids. with
the best man at the groom's side,
Is this correct? A READER.
1t is the groom's privilege to
select his ushers. The groom al
ways has the privilege Of selecting
his best man (who is usually his
brother. or. if he hasn't a brother.
his cousin or his best friend. It is,
however, customary for him to
choose the brother of the bride
If she has one or the brides cou-
sin or some other representative
OF the brides family. But no one
should presume to dictate to the
groom whom he should have as
his ushers: that is his privilege.
2. Yes, the same privilege applies
to the bride in her selection of
bridesmaids. That is, for her maid
of honor or matron Of honor she
chooses usually her sister, married
or unmarried. 1t she has no. sis
ter she chooses her best friend or
her cousin. Her bridesmaids are
her other close friends. Some.
times she. too. In compliment to
the groom, invites sister of the
groom or a cousin to be one Of
her bridesmaids.
3. You are correct in the way
you have planned to have the
groom. accompanied by his best
man. go from the vestry room
to the foot of the steps leading
to the altar. where he will await
the approach of the bride, on
the arm Of her father. Together
they ascend the steps.
i do not know what to saw
about the plans of the "groom's
mother to accompany her son
up the aisle passing the ushers
and bridesmaids, with the best
man at the groom's side" /
have never seen this done at a
wedding. Is this the custom in
the church to which you be.
long? That may be.
