FIVE YEAR Plan
GOES ON AIR

Complete details Of the five
year expansion program Of the
Washington Chamber Of Com
merce will be given to the public
in a radio address at 6:45 o'clock
tonight over Station WMAL by
Rudolph Jose, chairman Of the
committee in charge Of the pro-
gram.
Jose's address will come as a
climax to a series Of radio
speeches throughout the past
week, over Stations WRC and
WMAL., by Thomas P. Littlepage,
well-known attorney. who is in
charge of the intensive campaign
which is to open Wednesday.
One of the points to be stressed
in the speech is that the present
campaign to increase the mem
bership of the chamber is not
the prime motive of the expan-
sion program, but is rather q
means to an end. It is desired,
according to Jose, to increase the
membership in order that the
ability Of the chamber to render
service to the community may
be thereby increased.
The speaker will point out that
in the past the local chamber
has been handicapped by lack
of support, both financial and
otherwise, and has therefore been
unable to meet fully all Of the
demands made upon 1t.
The five-point program OF the
chamber, covering every phase of
municipal development, will be
explained in detail. This pro-
gram calls for the establishment
of bureaus which will take care
of trade development, develop

IS RETURNED

ALEXANDRIA, Va, Oct. 4.
After more than so years, Bible
Of Old Pohick Church, which
was taken as a souvenir by some
Northern soldier during the
Civil War, has been returned to
the church. The Bible was found
by DR.. Packard. former dean
Of the Virginia Theological Semi.
nary near here, and has been
in the library of that institution
for several years.
Shortly after the restoration Of
the church was completed, in
1917. an unsuccessful effort was
made to have the Bible returned
to the church, but the matter
was dropped until recently, when
the request Of the church for
the return Of the Bible was
granted and it was turned over
to the vestry last night.
One Of the most interesting
things in the book besides its own
history is the changes in prayers
made by some patriotic Revolu-
tionary minister, who carefully
purged the book Of the prayers
for the royal family and other
un-American prayers.
The volume will be sent to
the Library of Congress to be
rebound and then placed on ex-
hibition with the other Colonial
relics Of the old church, which
will celebrate it's 200th ami
VerSary in 1892.

FAIR WAGES
NSYSTEM
Stand Viewed as Sufficient
Answer to P. U. C. Demand
For Zone Basis for All Cabs

The fight to keep the 35-cent
taxicab on the streets Of Wash
ington is on.
The revelation made in reports
to Richmond B. Keech, peoples
counsel, that the 35-cent COM
panies are making satisfactory
financial returns. is regarded as
an answer to the campaign OF
the Public Utilities Commission
to place all the taxis on q zone
basis and to abolish the flat
rate system.
Making Money
Not only are two 35-cent COM
panies getting a Z per cent re-
turn on their investment, accord
ing to their reports to the peo'
pies counsel. but their drivers
are making fair incomes.
The program of elimination OF
the flat rate cabs has been
sought and justified on the
ground that the operators were
unable to make enough money
to provide decent profit or
living.
The figures made public by
Keech have been based on re-
ports received from two COM
panies operating a number Of
35-cent rate cabs. They are the
first to indicate that the flat
rate operation has been so profit
able. The companies reporting
employ 200 drivers.
$45 to $50 Week
The average daily earning Of
the cab drivers for the two com.
panies has been $5.35 since the
flat-rate system was introduced
in Washington. When business
was at its peak in February and
March drivers earned $45 to $50
weekly. The companies rent cabs
at $50 q day to drivers with 100
miles allowed.
Commission officials have de-
clared that reports filed by large
and small owners show that the
business has not been profitable
and that in some instances driv-
ers have had to depend On char
ity for necessities for their famt-
lies.
