WASHINGTON GOSSIP
By HARYEY OCONNOR. Federated Press

Observation-Disclosures is the
dominant feature in Washington as a
bad summer draws to a worse close.
No matter what bureaucrat's office
the inquiring reporter sticks his head
into he sees officials worrying. Gone
are the seraphic days when Mr.. Cool
ldge was unchallenged and all was
well with the world
At the department of commerce
building they talk apprehensively Of
declining industrial productivity, Of
the plight of the iron and steel in
dustry, the prospect that textiles are
through with their temporary flush,
the increasing unrest among the
smaller fry of the business interests,
who report prosperity without prof
its" Even the usually cheerful Mr.
Hoover looks gravely at the future
and confines his oracular utterance to
a mere fair. The federal reserve
board, which has its own means of
keeping its finger on the industrial
pulse, is no more optimistic Autos
are still in a bad way, speculation
continues apace on the New York
stock exchange despite signs of gath
ering storm and Americas gold pol
icy is still dictated by regard for the
British pound rather than for solid
American conditions.
The department of agriculture is
chTonically sour and continuously
pointing out the spread between in
dustrial and farm prices. But. the
wretched summer out west, with corn
imperilled by cold weather and COM
ing frost and what in merely moder-
ate shape, intensifies the gloom.
Of late the department of labor has
been joining the general cacophony of
distress. Within the past month it
has seen fit to remind prosperous"
America that millions of workers get
such low pay that they cannot afford
families. In coal, steel, railroads and
on the farms, laborers are no better
off than the much abused pauper la
Dor of Europe, to which Secretary
Davis points with so much commiser-
alton when he INDUCES in his frequent
pipe dreams concerning prosperous
American workers.
The women's bureau has not had
particularly refreshing news, either.
It's reports tell of wretchedly under
paid women workers toiling as high |
as so hours week for little or no
thing
Nor do you hear CHEEKY notes from

the state department, where Kellogg
Is still nursing wounded feelings over
the enevGa fiasco and wondering
what incident will next crop up in
Mexico, Nicaragua, China or the Car
lbbean to set liberal and labor opinion
barking at his heels. Of all the sor-
ry messes of American diplomacy,
Kellogg's is by general consent, the
worst. Good things have been done
badly and wicked ventures have turn
ed into hebrews.
In the navy and war departments
you might expect a certain gruff ioll-
ity what with the Geneva breakdown
and the outlook for the world biggest
navy and rafting good army. But
the gold-braided gentlemen have
way of being miserable because they
can't have the whole world on a sill
yer. platter. Give these gentlemen an
inch and they want a mile. But their
wishes are so outrageously expensive
that even patriotic, 100 per cent con-
gressmen pause in contemplation of
twenty $10,0O0,0O0 cruisers, with the
trimmings to match.
The politicians of course are the
sorriest of all. They had all attach
ed themselves to the Coolidge band
wagon and were ready for another
four year joyride at the expense of
the public. And now they have to
scratch their brains in an effort to
guess whether Hoover, Dawes, Low
den or Hughes has the sure-thing
bandwagon. If they make a wrong
guess they'll be out of luck when Cal
steps down from the throne on March
a, 1929. The boys who make a lucky
guess and pick the winner will get
the nice, juicy jobs when their favor
lite becomes president, and the rest
will nave to go to work.
Most detected of all is the plaintive
figure of poor little Mr.. Coolidge.
But month ago he was the tingod |
of the correspondents and the great |
wise man in the eyes of the politicians
seeking jobs and favors. This win
ter he will be flouted and defied by
both houses of congress. Old Mr..
Mellon, principal prop, will have re-
tired, having accomplished reduction
of taxes on great fortunes, including
his own. The financial powers will
have picked Calls successor, leaving
only the ubiquitous visitor from Osca-
loosa and Kokomo interested in the
whereabouts of the erstwhile nightly
Mr.. Coolidge.

HIS MOTHERS SON WANTS TO KNOW

Dear Miss FlO:-
Why is it that the mother of
SON can be so much more difficult
than the mother of a daughter? NV
mother and sister are making life
in general miserable for my wife
with their continual criticism of
everything that she does. We have
been married nine years and have
two lovely little boys. My family
love the youngsters, but they don't
like my wife at all. They criticize
her to me-aHd even to the children.
They find fault with her hOusekeep-
ing, and say she likes to go out too
much, that she spends too much
money, and that she isn't good
mother. Now, | love my wife and
she pleases me just as she is, and
am wondering what / should do.
Shall l move away as my wife
wants me to, or Just tell them where
to get off? NIB.
Undoubtedly in-laws cause more
tears and discord and misery than
anything else in the world-if we are
to judge from the numerous stories
that are written about and around
the problem, and it is fact, that in
Vulnerable young women have had the
happiness of their youth and marriage
wrecked by the injustice of their in
laws, and that innumerable men are
made miserable by being torn be-
tween the two women they love. In
all fairness, it is also true that in
Vulnerable old women have their last
days made bitter to them by the hard
ness of their sons wife.
The question is not always one-sid-
ed, for women have an inherent jeai-
ously of other women. They cannot
bear the thought that the man they
love, and who loves them, can have
any place in his heart for another
woman-even though that other wo-
man is his wife or mother.
Finding fault with their in-laws is
often the chief indoor sport of many
mans family-and they usually do
it without any thought of the damage
they do and the chances they are tax

BUS FARE GOES
To 10 CENTS

A straight 10-cent cash fare on
buses of the Washington Rapid
Transit Company was ordered by
the Public utilities Commission
today in the first meeting of the
commission since Col. William B.
Ladue, new engineer commissioner,
became a member.
The order is effective immedi.
ately and sale of tokens on the
busses was halted at noon today.
Tokens already out will be good
for transportation until midnight
July 81. They win be redeemable
any time.
Losses Found Heavy
The old tokens have been selling
at the rate of six for SO cents. The
new fare is therefore an increase
of 2-S cents per person.
The bus fare increase was or.
dered by the commission as the
result Of heavy financial losses sus-
tanned by the company within the
last two years. Last year the com.
paTy lost $4,000 1t testified in re-
cent hearings.
The fare increase alone is not
expected to solve the bus company's
financial difficulties. Capt. r. G..
Klotz, the commissions engineer,
testified in the hearings that it
would take a 121s-cent fare to cover
the operating expenses.
Second Raise i'm Two Years
This is the second raise in bus
fares during the past two years.
Previous to January, 1926. the
tokens were sold at the rate OF six
for IS cents. On that date the rate
was raised to six for so cents and
last fall the company petitioned for
a straight 10-cent fare.
Hearings on this petition were
abruptly halted when the legality
Of the bus company's ownership by
the North American Company was
attacked. Hearings were resumed
this spring after the company had
defended its ownership. Since that
time Harley Wilson, a director Of the
North American Company. has ac-
quired ownership Of the local concern.
