Is D., c. Shop-Lifters
Get Busy Early to
Avoid Rush

Get your Christmas shop-.ift-
ing done early to avoid the rush"
is the slogan which has been
passed around among shopt.lifters
operating in the vicinity OF
Washington, according to Mrs.
c. A. Clarke, of the Police
womsn's Bureau.
Fifteen cases were detected
and the thieves arrested in the
past week. All were convicted
or forfeited collateral.
Mrs. Clark said professional
shoplifters try to get their shop
ping done before the shop squad
goes on duty about December 10.
Most Of the cases brought in were
for small thefts, often valued at
less than 81.

Probably the only Federal
worker in Washington who has
been chief clerk of two Govern
ment departments is E. J.
AYERS, who, for many years,
was head of the clerical force
in the Interior Department and
now has a similar position in
the State Department.
Mr.. Ayers is an expert on
personnel administration and,
for several years past, has
been engaged in solving the
knotty problems of the State
Department involved in the
Rogers act.
No rest for the weary, if
the weary has ever happened to
have been in politics and has
served in either branch of Con-
Rress. This at least is the way
STEWART F. REED, former
member of Congress and one
time chairman of the House Dis
trict Committee feels about it.
Since retiring from politics in
1925 Mr.. Reed has made Wash
ington his home but his former
commitments in West Virginia,
his home State. are still after
him to push this, that or the
other piece of legislation, he
complains. At that Mr.. Reed
may come from West Virginia
but he is a Washinstonian now
and still is as interested as
eUer in local affairs.
It's a long way from deciding
just what sort of a .eawal to
install and the rumble and roar

think the former would be the
bed of roses as n job. Not SO
with COL. u. S. GRANT, Sd,
director of Public Buildings and
Parks, who has a military back
ground hard to equal.
To begin with, this is correct
in it's chronological order:
Colonel Grant was born on July
4 (never mind the year,, and,
after this momentous event, he
found he had picked General
Grant, of Civil War fame, as a
Rranddaddy. Then, in due
course, he entered the Army.
Besides being a soldier, he is
an architect, artist, diplomat,
and fluent linguist.

HIDE THEIR
MERGER
!. VIEWS

Officers of the Capital Trac-
tion Company attending the
10-cent fare hearing before the
Public Utilities Commission to-
day flatly refused to discuss
the merger proposal advanced
by that body.
They repeated their former decla-
ration that the merger should noS
be brought up in connection WIN
the hearings on rates. y,
The commission then threatened
to issue an official order requiring
the company to state it's poslt'on
on each section of the Utilities COM
missions merger proposal. ana also
to examine each member OF the
board of directors as to his views
Authority Challenged
The authority of the commission
~ TO do this was challenged by G. +:
Dunlop, vice president and general
counsel of the corporation, ana by
G.. E. Hamilton, chairman OF us
board of directors.
Hearings in the 10-cent car fare
case have been in progress since
September 10. Today's session was
set aside exclusively for considera-
ton of the commissions merger
proposals and officials of the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Com
pand, sitting in the room, awaited
their turn to be questioned after
the Capital Traction Company group
had it's say.
Gen. Mason M. Patrick, chairman
of the commission, opened the ses-
sion by asking counsel for the two
companies to make statement.
Both Dunlop and s. r. Bowen, gem
eral counsel for the Washington
Railway and Electric Company,
reiterated their contention that
merger talk was out of place in
the discussion on rates.
Reads Hanna Letter
President J. H. Hanna, of the
Capital Traction Company, was
asked to take the stand and Chair.
man Patrick read part of letter
written October l by Hanna to stock
holders, saying that officers of the
company hoped that Congressional
action would permit "a fair and
event they believed the economy
from operations effected would en-.
able continuance Of the seven per
cent dividend.
Hanna acknowledged the letter
and Patrick then asked him if he
would be willing to recommend to
his stockholders merger agreement
set-up substantially on the financial
outline contained in the Public Util.
tiles Commissions draft.
Hanna would not discuss the pact,
despite the efforts of Patrick and
Commissioner Harleigh H. Hartman
to elicit a view. Dunlop also refused
to state an opinion.
Hartman asked in exasperateC
tones: What would be your reac
ton, please, if the commission
should issue a direction to your
company to state its position or
each and every clause of the pro
posed agreement"
General Patrick Insistent
"a merger cannot be compulsory,
said Dunlop. The commission has
no authority. we believe, to issue
such an order"
1.-The commission has right
when investigating a request for
fare increases to look into methods
seeking to effect economies of oper.
alton" said Hartman. .
Chairman Patrick insisted the
commission has a right 10 procure
an expression of opinion not only
from the officers, hut also from
each member of the company's
board of directors "by summonins

ENGINEERS : DON'T ..
 FEAR DAMAGE

WASHINGTON, May 3, R)-The army engineers believe that the three hundred and twenty-five mil lion flood control program has ad- vanced to such stage that there is little chance of the lower Miss- issdppi valley being subject to de- vastating floods this year despite the steadily rising waters. On the North or upper half of the river, a more difficult problem :, is pre- sented, but the engineers expect an early recession of the. present flood level without additional great dam age. The levee on the main stream has been strengthened and hence will take a higher food level than the one which opened the crevasses in 1s21.
