HEATED BATTLE
F.0RFRANCH|SE
15EXPECTED

SILVER SPRING, Md, Feb. 6.
A first-class fight for a bus
franchise permitting operation
between Baltimore and Washing.
ton over two routes, both of
which include Silver Spring, is
being waged today before the
Maryland Public Service Commits
sion at Baltimore by representa-.
tives Of the Washington Rapid
Transit Company, Leonard Burns.
former bus line operator, and
several Baltimore bus lines.
The franchise became available
when the Intercity Bus Company,
. a Baltimore organization, went
bankrupt several days ago. 1t
calls for operation of busses be-
tween the two cities via Ellicott
City, Ashton, Olney, and Silver
Spring and via Ellicott City, Ash
ton, Colesville, White Oak and
Silver Spring.
Delegation On Hand
A delegation of Silver Spring
business men, headed by Phil D.
Poston, vice president and secre
tary Of the local chamber of
. commerce, left here early today
to back up the Washington
Rapid Transit Company in its
FIGHT fn Ah&oiyo fha froY,oHico
While number Of other ON
'panies have filed application
with the public service commits
sion, it is believed here that the
real fight lies between the Wash
1ngton Rapid Transit Company
and Leonard Burns. Burns
formerly operated busses over
both. the routes, but sold out to
the Intercity Company and is
not now operating.
Joseph C. Cissel, Rockville at.
torney, representing Burns, has
lined up a number of citizens and
organizations in Olney, Norbeck,
Ashton, Highland and other
towns along the routes and has
filed with the public service COM
mission petitions from them urg-
ing that the charter be awarded
to Burns.
The franchise will be issued for
one year, renewable if the oper-
. ator performs satisfactory service,
according to Cissel.
Before he left for Baltimore to-
day, Poston declared that he be-
.1ieVed the chances were ,od
THAT the Washington Rapid
Transit Company would get the
coveted charter.
Operated Other Lines
'From the standpoint of fl
nances, equipment, experience
and all others, the transit com
pany is better prepared to give
us service than any other bus
operator" Poston said.
He pointed out that the W. r.
r. already operates several lines
through Silver Spring. One of
, these lines touches East Silver
Spring, Sligo and Four Coz ers:
another runs to Wheaton and
Forest Glen, while a third runs
along the Colesvi1ie Pike 20 White
Oak and Laurel This company
also operates busses from Chevy
Chase and Bethesda over the new
east-West highway tc Silver Spring
I'VE want a unified and ef-
ficient service" Poston declared,
"and we feel that the present
operators have given us that kind.

Speaking of the ability of his
client to perform the service,
Cissel declared that Burns was
ready to start operations inn
mediately the franchise is awarded
him. Cissel said that Burns
would operate the best" busses,
all of which we're new, if he gets
the word from the public service

It is not expected that the
commission will render it's de-

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
l. When one receives gifts
from two friends living together,
is It correct to write one letter
Of thanks to both as Misses
Jane Doe and Helen Davis" or
should two letters be written?
The gifts came in one package.
2. 1 have been told that it is
"countrified" to thank a sales
lady for courteous service. I
do not consider that it is ever
bad form to say '"Thank you"
do you?
3. You also state that it is
bad form to thank hostess
for a meal. In this community
the people are fairly well-bred
and they consider it a breach
of etiquette not to do SO. In
this case should one do 1t or
not?
I am anxious to learn the
social amenities, although I
have not an opportunity OF
moving amid aristocrats, be-
cause I consider it nice thing
to know these little nicetieS.
MABEL.
/. You should write separate
notes of thanks, even if the
gifts are sent by both and come
in one package.
2. Indeed. l should say the
opposite-that it is "countri-
fled" not to thank the sales
woman who has been courteous
to us. Indeed, this amenity is
one of the first things that we
learn when we travel, for in
foreign countries, as you prob
ably know, the thank you," or
its equivalent, is ever on the
tip Of courteous tongues. One
gets quite ashamed if one omitS
it in any language. Well-bred
people everywhere say thank
you" and please" as a matter
of course, when people have
been kind and courteous.
E 3. Even under the circum-

suited any other person in his
life, should allow his daughter
to decide this one thing for
herself. She is entitled, surely,
to know what this one bit of
freedom feels like.
The girl may have in her the
making Of a capable business
woman or she may be the sort
that fumbles gropingly about
an office. In either case, the
door of youth will have been
opened to her, the door of
opportunity that is so thrilling
to boys and girls alike.
Nor is there any reason why
she should miss those youthful
pleasures that seem to her part
Of the wonderful world where
jobs are held and where happy
association is limitleSS.
Working for a living isn't of
course, as gay paStime as she
thinks. And it does not by any
means always lead to romance.
But it is magnificent remedy
for loneliness and melancholy.
Genevieve's parents will delight
in the change in her, once they
have allowed their discontented
nesting to try her eager wings.

THE BEAUTY

BY Helen FOlIett.

Mouse-colored or drab hair,
which is hated by every womaA
who has it, is the dull shadow
Of a once-golden glory crown.
The color Of the human brain
carpet is determined by the pig
ment which is deposited in the
medula or inner hair shaft and
this pigment often changes with
the years. A suggestion of the
sunlight Of youth can be coaxed
back by rinsing the treSs-locks
with a quart of warm water to
which have been added the
juice Of three lemons and one
teaspoonful Of salts of tartar.
This mild bleaching treatment
follows the usual soapy sham

with clear, tepid water.

can wipe up the bathroom floor
and dust the furniture. Hard

When Manners AreC Correct
BY Mrs. Cornelius Beeckman-

stances that you set forth, I do
think that it would be easy not
to thank for the food itself, but
instead so charmingly and
graciously thank for the hospi'
tality that the hostess will be
even more pleased than if you
have thanked her for the food
that she served at her dinner.
You see, when we thank for the.
hospitality of the hostess, and
when we say pleasant things
about the spirit of her party.
we include thanks for every
item that goes to make the
party. If, for instance. We say,
Thank you so much for a BEAU
tiful dinner party. I have had
such a happy time, and it has
been a Joy to be with you," I
am sure that the hostess will
like this better than if you say,
Thank you so much for a
delicious dinner. I especially
liked your pie!"
OF course, there are many
times when it is most appropri-
ate to mention the food, espe-
cially among very close friends.
For instance, after we have
thanked for the hospitality, we
might say, "Of course, no one
in the, world makes such a de-
licious souffle as you do please
ask me very soon again to
have one, will you?"
I like your last paragraph
and I'm with you every step
of the way. Please let me help

When Little
Children

ness that, of course, preclude
anything excepting complete
rest for the child. However,
there are other times when a
child must be confined to his

good otherwise, that are most
trying to those caring for him.

placed upon the fact that he

ceived gratifying cttention other.
wise not accorded him, he will
want to get up and resume
his normal activities the mo-
ment he feels the least bit
better. And these, "Yes, you
must stay in bed" days are
hard on both mother and
Soungster.
One mother amused her T.
year-old daughter during this
period by several simple games
which I am offering you for
use in the eventeyou are con-
fronted with a similar problem.
From the evening newspaper
and from several old maga-
zines she cut out words in
large print that rhymed. After
making a goodly collection OF
these she shuffled them all UP
and put them in a large en-
velope. This envelope full Of
words amused the little lady
for quite a while next day,
when she opened it and was
told that the game was to
put one under the other. all
the words that rhymed.
Next day she received an
other envelope filled with a.
collection of printed sentences
which mother had cut in two
or three parts.
A large Sheet of paper was
given to her. and she kept busy
for an hour, assembling the
sentences and pasting them on
the paper in their correct order.
This led to a suggestion from
the child that mother cut up
"stories"-which meant that a
short paragraph, such as MRS.
John Doe, Of Brown Street, en-
tertained at bridge yesterday
afternoon" was divided and
put together again by the child.
Then she asked mother for
just words" and was busy
long while next day developing
a story all her own.
For a child who doesn't yet
read very we'll, the idea could be
used by using single words, ac-
companied by picture of the
object. Thus mother could cut
out a picture of an apple, also
the printed word apple" to be
combined by the child. Or an
envelope of colorS, a round disk
of red, or orange or blue, ac-
companied by the printed (or
written) words red" orange"
or blue"
An envelope Of animals would
surely interest a small patient.
II the child is too young to
have begun to read at all, cut
out the colored pictures Of dogs.
horses, children, automobiles
and so on from the magazine
advertisements, which are so
reSplendent in lovely colorS now.
Cut each picture into two or
three parts and let the game
take the form Of puzzles" in
putting them correctly together
again.
No activity should be pursued
by the tiny patient until he is
overly tired. but with Judgment
these simple amusements may
be utilized to while away an
otherwise dreary hour.

Advice to LOvelOrn
BY Beatrice Fairfax.
An Authority on Problems of
Love and Marriage

An Authority ON Problems of
Love and Marriage
no you pity the young girls,
~ thousands and thousands
of them, who earn their living
in New York and other big
cities?
It's hard to catch that early
subway train. And it's hard to
work eight hours or more in
an office or store or factory.
And it's very hard indeed to
stretch those few wage-dollars
so that they shall cover all ones
needs and obligations-in fact,
It's impossible.
But do you ever study their
gay young faces? They're not
a big unhappy and they don't
consider themselves the least bit
ill-uSed. There's something
dramatic in every job, and every
day is a fresh adventure. Free
dom and independence are deli
cious things.
On the other hand, there is
the case of twenty.year-ol &C.
neVieVe c., whose letter makes
me pity her very much indeed.
Not because she has a job, but
because she hasn't one.
Genevieve's father is a we'll
to-do contractor whose pride is
that he can amply support his
womenfolk. People who see this
girls comfortable. over-heated
home. and who notice the cost
ly fur coats that she and her
mother wear, classify her as a
child of fortune.
But Genevieve, as a matter
Of fact, is miserable. Her home
is SO elaborately comfortable
that 1t boreS her to death. And
because there are no surprises
or uncertainties in her life, it
seems to her scarcely livable.
The days are long and heavy.
In the evening, nothing hap
pens. Young men don't come to
see CenevieVe. They don't know
about her.
No wonder that a misunder-
standing has arisen between
father and daughter.
The father feels that the
world would miSjudge him if
his daughter worked.
But what the daughter wants
Is a chance to live.
The father would tell you
truly that he has denied the
girl nothing that his money
could buy.
And the daughter would in
sist that the things she wants
. are beyond the reach of money,
1t is her wish, of course, to
try herself out in a world of
young people of her own age.
Would she be successful in a
business office? Would she be
capable and bright and popular?
She doesn't know. -
But at least, downtown, she
would be doing what other girls
are doing. Life would be pulls
ing all about her. Friends
would be available-girl friends
and boy friends, too. Every girl
who works, she thinks, has
plenty of boy friends. Gene
We've hasn't.
Is a girl more interesting and
attractive if she works hard to
supply her own needs than if
she has nothing more important
to do than go shopping, play
cards or make luncheon dates
with other women? The lonely
young person I am writing
about thinks so.
My own belief is that this
