FARE
PROTESTED

The first formal protest against
the proposed street car fare in.
crease reached the Public Utilities
Commission today.
Warning that the riding public
will buy automobiles and stop pa
troniZing the street cars, If higher
fares are. granted, William J. Carey.
Department of Justice employe, has
lodged his, protest to the commits
sion. stating that he is a member
of the Southeast Citizens Associa-
ton.
Carey reminded the commission
that financial difficulties. because of
decreased patronage. have in the
past always followed increases in
fare.
Residents of the Southeast. Carey
said, are opposed to fare boost
and believe the traction companies
should be required TO live up to the
terms of their original franchises
which call for six tickets for a
quarter.
Two street car patrons filed pro-
tests with the Commission against
the unsatisfactory service afforded
by the street car companies.
The National Capital has the
poorest. street car service in the
country" Mrs. W. O'NeiIl wrote to
the Commission. She had to use
three cars in getting from her
home at Twenty second and P
Streets Northwest to a downtown
store at Seventh and K Streets
Northwest, she said.
The service afforded employees in
Government buildings in Potomac
Park is complained of by Emma 3.
Price, of Florence Court, the few
cars furnished for noon rush
periods are so jammed up that
many of the workers have to wait
long periods of time for transportR-
ton.

To GET
TRY.OlJT
FIRST

"A temporary truce over thu
Welch act between Comptrolle1
General McCarl and the Per.
sonnet Classification Board has
been patched up.
Until the new law has been given
= trial under the Interpretation laid
down by McCarI it is not likely
that there will be any further ex.
ploitation of the sharp differences
of opinion on the salary increases
involved.
BiCkering Called Off
Officials of the Classification Board
have no desire to embarrass or con-
fuse administrative officers of the
departments who have the task of
putting the salary advances into ef-
feet next month.
While they are convinced that
certain amendments to the McCarl
Interpretation will have to be made
in the near future, they prefer to
have the initiative taken by the
departments themselves rather than
by the board.
Inquiry among the chief clerks of
the departments today showed that
they were taking no sides in the
dispute. and were planning to put
the McCarl ruling into effect, al
though in certain cases reserving
judgment as to its workability.
New Conference Flannel
It is probable that in advance of
July Is meeting of the admin
istrative officers will be held, en-
tirely independent of the board, for
the purpose of placing certain de-
tails of the application of the act
before the comptroller generals
office.
The question of jurisdiction over
the question of salary increases
will be fought out again in the next
Congress. in connection with an
attempt to amend the new law so
as to gain larger increases for the
rank and file Of Federal employees.
1t is already recognized that in
many cases the raises given these
low-paid workers are altogether in
ADEQUATE.

For 10 days she had re-

Then she had set forth once
more upon her perilous

had been slow. She had al
most heard of the presence
in the Nivernais of the repre-

the consequent rousing there

Consequently she had deemed
it more important to move
with caution than with
speed.
She was on the road by

DEVELOPMENT

1t has long been the habit t o
critieise public service, public u
tilities like the telephone, streer
cars,ga and electric service, Says
the Saint Paul Daily News.
Telephones, especially have
come i'll for the barrage f joke
smiths, letterwriters and newspa-
per editors. But the fact is APP
parent to the fair-minded, that
the change and improvement in
telephone service in America is
one of the most interesting ana
outstanding development of mod
ern industrial civilization.
The achievements of the teIe-
phone, even though without a
spectacular interest, would make
as romantic story as could be
wished. 1t is story of tramen-
dous labor, against seemingly
incontrovertible odd, and great
success that has been of untold
social and industrial benefit to
humanity.

Escape From Danger
Makes for Pleasure

In escape from dangers of all kinds
we find one of the greatest thrills In
life. The small child asks to be chased
end squea1s with delight as she es-
Ales; small boys skate over thin ice;
rpwn men hazard their fortunes ny
.nbling. and women risk their repu-
ations by reading risque stories-all
tilnt they may have the thrill OF es-
Gaping from something.
The stories of universal appeal, from
Little Red Riding Hood" and Jack
the Giant Killer" up to the highest
tragedies, are stories of escape or al
tempted escape. Even our spiritual
struggles are dramatized stories Of
escape. "The Pilgrims Progress" is
the story Of Christians escape from
the City OF Destruction, though the
interest is sustained by number OF
minor escapes. beginning with the
Wicker Gate wherein was written
Flee from the wrath to come" and
ending with his final escape from the
river. which he found deeper or shall

Matter of InUention
Subject to Dispute

Among all the inventors of whom
popular history tells, only three,
Archimedes. Ericsson and Edison,
have been credited with more than
one important Invention Others may
have equaled them in genius, but not
in luck. So, leaving aside these three
great inventors" let us take up the
inventors" who did everything else.
and later the question of who were
really great inventors.
Who invented the telegraph? Any
American who has been through the
eighth grade knows that it was Morse
and vail,in 1874 But there was an
English commercial line seven years
earlier, and the German credit the
telegrap to Sommering of Munich,
in 1909 and in Switzerland there was
an electric telegraph in 1774. and one
was proposed in Scotland in l753.

many claimants that we don't know
who invented 1t.
Who devised the aneroid barometer?

'cided for each of them. But 152 years

JANUARY OUTSTANDING
IN TELEPHONE HISTORY

The opening of transatlantic radio
telephone service and also the open
ing of new transcontinental telephone
line both taking place in January,
1927, calls attention again to Che i'm.
portant part played by the month OF
January in telephone history. For it
was in January. 1915. on the 25th of
the month, that the first transcon-
tinental telephone line was opened,
and 1t was in January. 1928, on the
14th. that transoceanic radio tele,
phony was first demonstrated by Bell
System engineers who talked to Eng,
land for two hours on that occasion.
Also, it was in January that the first
commercial telephone exchange in the
world was placed in service. This
was at New Haven. Conn. on January
80, 1878.

Films Of Rare Wood
Used for Furniture

The growing scarcity of the more
beautiful and valuable woods has
made necessary the substitution OF
other and cheaper kinds. Thus hard
ly any furniture nowadays is made
of solid mahogany. and inferior ma
terials have very generally taken the
place OF the disappearing cabinet
woods" Indeed. high-grade timber of
any kind is now so costly as to pro
hibit its common use as the solid body
Of furniture. Manufacturers are re-
sorting more and more to the use of
veneers. Articles of furniture. rang
