more Good Fellows are needed.
Nearly all the poor have been
in need Of food for some time,
and now the cold spell has .ac-
centuated the need Of fuel and
clothes to keep their thinned
bodies warm.
What makes the situation
worse is that there are hundreds
Of chiIdren-mOSt of them un-
der 10 years Old-in the dis
tressed families. They must not
be allowed to suffer. The Good
Fellows Of Washington won't
permit that.
Christmas Nearing

In most homes where there
are children there are discarded
toys that would gladden. the
hearts of poor children on
Christmas morning. ..s
Clip the coupon in this paper.
Mail it to The washington Times,
which is fostering the Good Eel
lows organization.
That is your first degree in the
Order Of Food Fellowship. When

self what they need. That is the

STATEMENT

Company Not Opposed to
Decrease More Than Half

Upon receipt today Of a letter
from the Capital Traction Com
pany, fesenting the position in
which they had been placed in
regard to the proposition of re-
duced fares for school children,

trict Committee for $3.50 o'clock
tomorrow to complete prepare
ton Of q bill designed to bring
about the reduction.
John n. Hanna, president Of
the traction company, in a let
ter to the Senator vigorously OBJ
Jected to statements by the Pub
uc Utilities Commission to the
effect that his company objects
TO provision in the bill which
would require that the special
fares for school children should
be fixed at not more than half Of
the current adult rate.
Asked For No Limit
Maj. Gen. Mason M. Patrick,
chairman Of the Public Utilities
Commission, In a letter to Sena-
tor Capper on December IL, speak
ing Of the limitation on the extent
Of the reduction, referring to the
attitude Of the street railway COM
pany, said:
"They desire the omission Of
the last sentence, COntending
that no limitation should be
placed on the rate-fixing power
OF the commission"
Mr.. Hanna, In his letter today,
says that from General Patrick's
letter ''it would appear that the
Capital Traction Company is op-
posed to the position Of the pro-
posed bill limiting reduced fare to
not more than pne-haH Of the
existing fare"
Objects to directed"
Mr.. Hanna makes it clear that
the only word in the proposed bill
TO which his company objects Is
"directed." This word is con-
tanned in the phrase declaring
that the commission is 'em-
powered and directed" to reduce
the fares for school children.
Mr.. Hanna declared flatly:
eve did mot object TO the
limitation Of the amount Of
the reduction"
Ham Not Ready Yet
William F. Ham, president Of

had not thoroughly considered
the matter. He indicated, how
ever, that he and his associates
may object, unless the Commis-
sion plans to hold the rate hear
ing in a manner provided by

Creating Your Job.

About dozen instances have come
to our attention of women creating Jobs
for themselves, because none existed for
them. That seems to be the best
answer to any woman's unemployment
problem.
An editorial writer has asked where
the world would be II men like Edison,
Stephenson, Marconi and Whitney had
not invented machines and contrivances
that have employed millions in one way
or another.
Women do not always take to science
and invention, but few women are born
without some inventive genius. There Is
the comforting thought that necessity
is woman since it mothers inven-
ton!
In the past few months countless
jobs have been invented by women.
One woman has opened a club service
bureau. that furnishes lecturers. coun-
sci, promotional aid, and all else, to
women's clubs. -
Another woman started a house
organ type Of magazine to sell to clubs.
It contains general matter and may be
