 Keep Clear of Politics

HAWKING, Feb. 20. v. stern warning against student participa- ton in active politics has been is- sued by the executive department of the nationalist government.
 Studies must take first place among the boys and girls enrolled in China's colleges and universities.
 The edict resulted from num- Der of student strikes which caused the closing of one school and the suspension of several others.
 The government attaches much of the blame to red propaganda, declaring that the youths were led astray by agents of communism.

2ECENT TAXI FARE
BLOW FOR METERS
Diamond Operators Believed
Planning Cut to Restore
Old System.

Dissatisfaction over the meterless cab
system is believed responsible for pro-
poSal made at a recent meeting of the
Independent Taxicab Owners Associa-
ton, operators of Diamond Cabs. TO
reduce the city proper" cab fare from
IS cents to 20 cents as an attempt to
cause return to the old method.
No announcement has been forth
coming concerning the proposition from
the management of the Diamond Cab
Co. However, the Star learned yester-
day through the local Chauffeurs'
Union that the change in rates is be-
ing considered and may be put into
effect within 10 days.
1t is understood to be the belief of
the operators that by cutting the fare
to 20 cents for the city proper" and to
40 cents and 60 cents for the first and
second zoneS, respectively, they can
enlist the aid Of the local traction COM
panies in forcing return to the meter
cab system. Like the 35-cent cabs, the
street cars also are subject to compe-
tition from independent operators COM
ing into the taxi field with 25-cent
city proper" rates.
At the recent meeting Of the cab as
ISOLATION, the group decided to table
the motion until a subsequent session
in order to give complete consideration
to the matter. The reduction would
place the fiat rate fare at the lowest
level since the meterlesS cab was per-
mitted here, and it is doubtful if drivers
could reap worthy margin of profit
under the plan.

Capt. John Gwinn, one Of the last
shippers of Old Ironsides, whose body
has lain for 80 years in weed-covered
grave in Philadelphia, finally is to re-
ceive the proper tribute of a grateful
but forgetful Nation.
The War Department today received
request from the Veterans of For
eign Wars in Philadelphia for approval
of plans for removal of the mariners
body to Arlington National Cemetery
The request was referred to the quar-
teYfnaster general, whose Office super
vises military interments.
The expense of disinterring the body
from It's neglected site in a corner
of an abandoned cemetery and of send
ing 1t, in a new casket, to Arlington
will be borne by the veterans organ
ization, according to an Associated
Press dispatch from the Pennsylvania
city.
The belated honors for Capt. Gwinn
come simultaneously with the resurrec-
ton Of the venerable frigate which he
once commanded on the high seas. The
Constitution, restored to it's former
splendor, has begun a patriotic tour OF
Eastern ports.
Capt. Gwinn died in Palermo, italy
in 1910. The body was inferred at
Philadelphia under simple head
stone bearing the words, He served
his country for 40 years.
