MORE TIME
To OWNERS

The Public Utilities Commits
sion's new code Of regulations
for taxicabs will not take effect
before February /. it was learned
today at the District Building.
The commission today resumed
in an executive meeting It's dis
cussion Of a tentative draft Of
regulations and the comments
made by taxicab operators at the
hearing Of December 16. The
final draft Of the order is ex-
pected within a few days.
The final order, it was revealed
today, win not bring trucks and
moving vans under its provisions.
but will deal exclusively with
taxicabs. It was indicated that
q later order may be drawn UP
to deal with trucks and vans.
No Changes Seen
At yesterdays meeting it was
decided that no major changes
will be made in the sections of
the regulation calling on cab OPP
orators to post evidence that they
will be responsible financially for
damages caused by accidents.
These provisions state that
taxicab operators must file with
the commission sworn state
ment showing the ability Of the
person, firm or corporation to pay
all damages which may result
from accidents caused by the
negligent operation Of their We
hicles: or file security, indemnity
or bond guaranteeing payment Of
all such damages; or insure to q
reasonable amount the person,
firm or corporations liability to
pay damages.
Such statements, the order
reads, have TO be filed as often
as the commission may demand
and the sworn statements must
be subject to its approval. For
those companies who chose the
insurance method Of showing re-
sponsibility it states that they
must insure for at least a year.
Cancellation Penalty
Failure to comply with these
provisions means cancellation Of a
permit to operate.
Some alterations in the
phraseology, at least. of the sec
tions regulating mechanical con-
dition Of cabs are under con-
temptation.
Among these Is q Qualification
Of proviso stating that the
gasoline tank Of q taxicab FAUST
he Outside" the body OF the car.
. Ford Cars Allowed
This does not mean that the
gravity-feed type Of tank, located
on the cowl, is TO be prohibited.
Such tanks, used on vehicles Of
the Yellow Taxicab Company and
on cabs manufactured by the
Ford Motor Company, will be al
lowed, as it has been held by
the Federal Bureau Of Standards
that they are part of the chassis
and not the body Of q car.
Tanks under the seat Of the
drivers compartment viii pc pro.

The date on which the new
code takes effect was moved for
ward one month, when the com.
mission found 1t was unable to
prepare its final draft as early as
had been expected.

With the advent Of the White
House social season. including
the various State receptions, din.
ners and musicales, CHARLES
THOMPSON, the official mes
senger Of the White House, is
getting buster every day, not
withstanding the fact that
Thompson is always on the go.
Attired In regulation leather
coat and fur cap and wearing
goggles, Thompson may be seen
here, there and everywhere
about the city, scooting along on
his motorcycle. When you see
him that way Thompson Is
carrying messages from the
White House. The many thou
sands Of invitations TO the White
House functions, written out IN
beautiful SpenceriaIl script and
enclosed In large square en-
velopes Of heavy white paper,
bearing the seal Of the Presi-
dent in raised gold impression,
are all delivered by Thompson;
they are not sent out by mail.
And inst keeps Charlie busy
these days. There Is nothing
about his attire when going
around to distinguish him from
any other nlotorcyclist. No brass
button or braid or uniform; just
plain, that's all.
The fact that Laurence Todd,
local representative OF the So
Met nelOs agency. has been the
Contact point" betDeeR the
State department and the Rus
stan government In requesting
a search for Capt. Carl EielsOn,
again brings into the foreground

write its own history of the religious
wars of the last few years
Today the archbishop replied with a
brief statement lauding the desire of
the Army to make itself truly illustrious
and invade the literary field.
But. he declared, the time was not
yet ripe to write the history Of the
"Cristero" rebellion, and the calmnesS
that only time will bring is needed to
give a true picture of the religious con-
f1ict and place responsibilities where
they belong.
Gen. Amaro's statement, which as
serted the Mexican clergy was the
greatest enemy of the Mexican revolu-
ton, was played prominently in Mexico
City newspapers today as the first pro-
nouncement of a high Government
official on the religious controversy

Brides Cling to Old
Beliefs About Luck

Wedding superstitions are dying out
very slowly, according to a British au-
thority on matrimonial problems.
Although the superstitious bride Is
now the exception rather than the
rule, the question of lucky or unlucky
hours, days or months still holds a
place in the mind Of many young
woman contemplating marriage, he
said.
May Is usually a lean month for
weddings, and there are couples who
hesitate to get married on Friday.
Others have a dread Of the 18th Of the
month.
More remarkable still Is the fact
that one o'clock-the thirteenth hour
is very rarely chosen for the we'd
ding ceremony.
Green-which, worn as an emerald,
is believed to be talisman against
eyil-was long viewed with disfavor
as portion Of the wedding dress. In
recent years, 1t has been used more
frequently.
Recently, a prospective bride Stun
bled on the doorstep while about to
enter a register Office. Had she actual
ly fallen there is little doubt that the
ceremony, which was taking place on
a Friday, would have had to be post
poned till more propitlous time.
