Second Question Passes
Hartman also asked Bowen
whether the Washington Railway
and Electric Company would con
sent to an Increased fare IL Ii was
not made uniform. Bowen said that
he could not answer the question:
that it was a matter to be decided
by the board OF directors OF the
company.
After Dunlop had offered the list
OF objections against plans for uni
fled operation being considered dur
ing the fare hearing, Hartman asked
Does the Capital Traction Company
deny the commission has jurisdie-
tion to determine the reasonableness
of operating expenses?"
Dunlop declared that the Capital
Traction Company did not question
the jurisdiction OF the Commission.
Then Hartman asked whether the
traction company took the position
that irrespective of the reasonable
ness of its operating expenses, it is
entitled to q fixed return on its
value.
Dunlop denied that the company
took such a position.
Clayton Asks Public Quiz
William NICK. Clayton, chairman
of the public utilities committee of
the Federation of Citizens Associa-
tions and long the peoples cham.
pion In local utilities fights, arose
from his place in the ranks OF the
spectators and objected to the action
OF the Commission in making the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company q party in the fare case
without first holding a public hear
ing. The objection was overruled.
Clayton then moved that the
Washington Rapid Transit Company
be made a party to the hearing.
Patrick asked IL there was a repre-.
sentative of the bus company pres
ent. George p. Hoover arose and
said that he was counsel for the
bus company, but that he was at.
tending the hearing only as an OBJ
server. He asked for time to con.
fer with officials Of the bus com.
pany before attempting to make
any reply to Clayton's motion. Pat
rick then announced that no action
would be taken on Clayton's mo-
tion until tomorrow.
The list of objections in which
both the Capital Traction Company
and the Washington Railway and
Electric Company concurred fol.

Eye Sight Convention n Council Takes Up
 New Campaign

NEW YORK, May 27.-To pre- vent mental and physical deterior- ation of both adults and children improved lighting in the nations homes and schools is urged by the Eye Sight Conservation Council of America.
 The council points out that an investigation just completed by H. Illuminating Engineering society dis closed that poor conditions of il- lumination have an adverse effect upon intellectual activity.
 A report by Dr. Morton G. Lloyd of Washington, chief of the safety section of the United States bureau of standards, says:
 Continued application of the eyes under conditions of fatigue leads to eye strain which frequently is accompanied by other bodily ail- mentS.
 Owing to faulty pastures fre- quently assumed under poor light ing conditions, curvature of the spine may result, and it is very likely that the same faulty pastures are contributory element of near sightedness.
 Tt is reported that many stu dents have been obliged to stop their work in evening schools on account of eye troubles ascribed to the conditions of artificial light ing.
 Visual exploration is the most prolific sensory source of learning. In the home and school the same fundamentals apply. so far as me- chanical accidents are influenced by illumination, as in industrial es- tablishments.
 The report says near-sightedness in school children increases from class to class. It declares that "the typical middle-class home is lighted less than half as well as it should be, and the homes of the lower class only half as well as those of the middle-class."
