Latest Move in the Drive for
Approval of Traction Merger


PPL1OATI0N Of the Capital Traction company Tor m
creased fares expected by street railway magnates
to cnch drive for Congressional approval Of the merger
Of Washington street railway and bus lines
Though the purpose Of the application primarily That OF
financial relief for the Capital Traction it indirectly
move to force sentiment here to Congress to ap
provs the merger agreement
and nobody knows may be the effect public sent
of the material increase in fares asked Tor ana amOs
sure to be granted by the Public Utilities Commission some OF
the officials Of which declared in advance for the increase
Il must be borne in mind that the policies of the
Public Utilities Commission because of the unusual con-
ions an increase fares company will automatically
60 the other though the other may not ask Ior or actually
need it.
The ruling Of the commission the past has been that
two sets of car fares would virtually put of business the
company collecting the higher fares as the public would turn
to the company collecting the lower fares
The Capital Traction Company has been the beneficiary
Of this ruling in the past The Washington Railway and
Electric Company will now become the beneficiary
Some years back when the Washington Railway and Eec
trio Company not in the strong financial position It now
is it applied for higher fares The Capital Traction was
then in fine financial shape It didn't need higher fares but
when the fares were increased demands Of the
W and n the CAPITAL Traction was allowed to collect
the same fares and for years collected from the people of
Washington money than right to obtain reasonable
turns upon its valuation.
Now that the tables have been turned the public will have
20 fatten the W. and g. already rolling in prosperity by
reason of its ownership the Potomac Electric Light Com
pany to give the Capital Traction what it claims to be its
legal rights
This abnormal situation is of the chief why
there should be just Of the competing lines and
1t TO be used to force upon the people O washington
kind merger they do not DESIRE but which
those financially interested insist shall be put across
The developments between now and the next meeting Of
Congress- result Of higher fares may not be what
the merger magnaes expecting and increased fares
not work out the traction lines plan
significant that the Capital Traction regards the pro-
posed temporary to last only until the merger
agreement is contaminated" If it should not be approved
the company the right to apply for still higher fares
than asked
The big utilities stick held the heads Of Washington
riders and will continue to wave until the traction IN
terests get just what they want in Congress.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
81 ~. O. ~. q. &

UoU hear So much about artifi-
cial sunlight, or ultraviolet
rays, that 1t Is important that
you should remember some funda-
mental facts. In the first place,
a ray OF natural sunlight Is made
up OF bundle Of different rays,
the neutraIizing effect Of which
upon each other Ii to produce q
white light. This II combina-
ton OF all the colols of the rain
bow from red to violet. 1t follows.
therefore. that no one set Of rays.
such as the ultraviolet, can be
the equivalent OF sunlight. But
it has been found that the ultra
violet are the essentially healthful
rays and for that reason they
are being widely used.
While this III true, q great deal
of nonsense has been talked about
infra.red rays. or the short rays
at the heat end of the spectrum.
These rays are really just the
same as heat rays from any other
source, such as a hot-water bottle
or a poultice. They penetrate
very little and are almost all
absorbed by the water in the
outer layers OF the skin. The
visible rays-l g h I So penetrate
much further and can get right
through the skin.
Modern evidence goes to show
that the ultraviolet rays attack
: the atom and displace some OF
the electrons in it from the orbits
in which they gyrate. As result
! there is chemical change which
takes some time to complete, and
when artificial sunlight Is shone
on the human body, the skin does
not turn red for some hours. The
very long rays pass through the
skin and are not much absorbed:
they reach the cells in the blood
vessels.
The middle-leagth rays are
largely absorbed by the horny
layer of the skin, but they will
penetrate and kill a simple organ.
ism like a bacteriun. When they
are shone on to such simple organ
isms under a microscope it is pos
sible to see the living matter
coagulating gradually as the mi
crobe dies. The shorter the wave
Z length the greater the power of
killing bacteria. The maximum
action is at a length of about
1870 units, which is the length
of the suns rays on q clear sum-
mer day when it IS high in the
heavens. Poorer sunlight mostly
consists OF longer rays, and the
artificial lamps mostly work with
shorter rays.
The skin is the great organ of
defense against microbe infection.
and it is able, wnen healthy. to
maintain its tone to act under
various conditions of temperature
and moisture.
There Is no doubt that the arti'
fetal sunlight rays increase the
power of the skin to kill bacteria
and that they can tone 1t up and
benefit the general health enor-
mously. There is no better method
of stimulating it, but If doses are
given too strong or over too wide
an area. the power to kill microbes
is diminished instead of increased,
and the subject fecls nervous and
exhausted.
