 ATTENDANCE PARTY

This period Mrs. McDade's room had the best attendance they had had in the past two years, a fact which may be due to reports of a good time at a party had by six children with the best attendance last six-weeks' period. Therefore the following group enjoyed a similar party this week from 9:45 to 4:45: Harry Thomas, Victor Hocson, Edna Joseph, Virginia White, Richard Paul and Corrine Cooday.

Mr Fabricius and a few of the boys went down to the gym during the last period one Friday and changed the stage which has been hanging behind and under one of the baskets. This stage was in the way of the basket ball players, in fact some of them have tested it's hardness with their heads. It has been nailed temporarily to the side wall behind the benches where it is not in the way of either the players or the spectators.

D. c. ESTIMATES
SPEEDED BY
COMM |TTEE
Economy Body Experts to
Place Data Before Commits
SionerS Tomorrow

The Economy Committee of the
District today is speeding up its
work on estimates for the 1885
budget, and expects to submit the
completed estimates to the Dis
trict Commissioners tomorrow.
Hearings on the estimates sub
mitted by various department
heads were completed yesterday
and these estimates are being
checked today by the committee.
It is understood that the total of
the new budget will be about
$36,700,000. The appropriation for
the current year is, in round fig
ures, $33,0O0,O00.
The increase was made largely
on the basis of full pay for Dis
trict employees. indicating that
officials expect restoration of the
Is per cent pay cut before the
beginning of another fiscal year.
A larger appropriation for trees
and parking was asked yesterday
by William NICK Clayton of the
Federation of Citizens Associa-
tionS. Clayton asked an increase
from $4,000 to $150,000. Some
increase was predicted.
When the Commissioners have
approved the budget it will be
transmitted to the Bureau of the
Budget for revision and approval.

Mrs. Ickes expects to love Wash

is very fond of society and expects
to have a grand time. And be-

$500 REH|RED
UNDER EAGLE

With the arrival today of 36
more reports from Washington
employers in the check-up of re-
employment here being conducted
by local NRA authorities, esti-
mates of the number of people
put back to work here since July l
crept upward to $500.
Business firms representing
practically one-third of all en-
ployes in the District have so far
reported.
The added purchasing power
put into circulation here every
month as a result of the Blue
Eagle drive, it is now estimated,
is about $35O,000 a month.
Total results in the survey up
to today are as follows: 118 busi-
ness houses hiring 1889 employees
in July have reemployed 1875
since then, and will soon add 275
more.
The report that 1000 new en-
ployes are now at work is based
on a guess, rather than mathe-
matical computation based on re-
turns to date. it was said.
The number of commercial in
terests in the District that have
so far adopted the Presidents re-
employment agreement stood to-
day at 10,051 This represents at
least 95 per cent of local employ
ers who can come in under the
Blue Eagle, it has been stated by
NRA officials.

One of the latest questions to

created when the office of Direc-

GAINS TOPUBL|C
SEEN BY kEECH
IN MERGER
Car Lines to Improve Service,
Peoples Counsel Says;
Suggests Fare Cut
By RICHMOND B. KEECH
Peoples Counsel of the District OF
Columbia

The consummation OF the
merger of the local traction COM
panies, authorized by recent act
of Congress, is, I believe, a step
in the right direction.
BY this unification sole reSpo1-
sibility will be vested n one oper-
alton management and there can
be no diversity of opinion, such
as has occurred in the past.
Million in Savings
AS result of the merger, it has
been estimated, there will be q
saving in operating expenses OF
approximately $1,OO0,OOO per year.
This is due to the lessening of ap-
proximately $23O,000 in interest
on outstanding securities, relief
from the tax of paying salaries
to crossing policemen, lessenlng
of paving costs, and elimination
of duplication of salaries and
wages.
incidentally, at the public hear
ings on the merger resolution
held before Congress. it was testl-
fled that there will not, for a
time at least. be any CUTTING OF
general personnel. Immediate
dismissals will mainly affect ex-
ecutives.
OF course, the more the COM
pany saves in operating expenses,
the better able it will be to pro-
cure new equipment and improve
service which, certainly, is in the
interest of the public.
More Free Transfers
The public will get instant bene-
fit of free transfers between street
car and street car, with the right
vested in the Public Utilities Com
mission to require free transfers
between street car and bus, or
bus and bus.
In addition to these benefits,
the merger assures the perma-
nency of the three-cent fare to
school children and, by agree
ment, will result in the dismiss
ing of suits wherein the compa-
nies challenge the reduced pupil
fares.
Fare Revision Proposed
Things which are yet necessary
to the good of the traction service,
and which can be accomplished
more quickly under single control,
include:
Unification of hte lines Of
the two companies.
Strengthening of the lines
by the connecting of existing
tracks. In some cases, it will
be necessary to construct con-
Meeting links.
Installation of new equip
ment, including cars with more
rapid acceleration and better
keage. Installation OF
lighter cars also will aid as it
will result in lower operating
costs and less noise.
Elimination of duplication Of
service.
Inauguration of a revised
fare. 1t is my belief that the
most feasible solution of this
problem will be establishing of
zone fares, based on a five-cent
rate for the downtown section.

LACK Of PLANS
DELAYSPWA

Lack of advanced planning for
projects under the Public Works
Administration is the chief reason
for delay in starting men and
women back to work, Frances Per-
kins, Secretary of Labor, as
serted today.
Pointing out that there has
been little or no delay in getting
ALLEGATIONS for thoroughly sound
projects, Miss Perkins asserted
there is all the difference in the
world in having the money in
hand and putting the men back
to work.
AS evidence of the Importance
of advanced planning, Miss Per-
kinS pointed out that many mI-
inequalities and States are hastily
redesigning engineering staffs pre-
viously dismissed and rushing
through new plans for the ex-
penditure of money allocated by
the Federal Government.
Those projects already planned
are putting laborers to work i'm
mediately, Miss Perkins asserted.
Sewerage projects, for instance,
where most of the work is of the
pick-and-shovel variety. are nu-
merouS.
Every effort is being made to
penalize those States and cities
causing unnecessary delay be-
tween the time of fund alloca-
tions by the Federal Government
and actual starting of conStruc-
ton, she reported.

MOST ST ORES
NOTE Bic GAIN
IN SALES
One Plans New Place as Re-
suit of Blue Eagle and "Buy
in September" Campaign

Four out of five delicatesSens in
Washington have gained in sales
volume recently as a result OF the
Blue Eagle and the Buy in Sep
tember" campaign.
That is the result of the latest
survey of local retail trades being
made by The Washington Times.
Previously in this series, increases
in business during the past few
weeks have been reported by fur
niture stores, haberdasherS, radio
dealers, photographers, depart
ment stores, women's clothiers,
employment agencies, florists,
druggists, advertising agencies,
shoe dealers, confectloners, jewel.
ers and book dealers.
Further evidence of return to
better times is now provided by
the dealers who furnish food deli
cacies. They claim that when peo-
pie begin to ask for higher priced
tidbits in delicatessens, as they
are doing now, it is a certain sign
that general public confidence
and buying power are on the up
swing.
To Open New Place
A really big improvement in
business is reported by Sam Wag.
shal, proprietor of Wagshal's Deli
catessen. He says:
"The NRA and the Buy in
September drive, which is a
real public service for your pa
per to undertake, have sue
ceeded so well that 1 am open
ing up new place. Things are
looking so much better I am
going to open a German restau.
rant SoOn."
Pointing out that a great deal
of this boost in sales is due to a
changed public spirit, Wagshal
states that people seem to have
more pep nowadays" He re-
marks:
"This is especially noticeable
because of the fact that they
are buying a better class of
merchandise than they have in
months. Sales are really good
in expensive delicacieS."
Similar recent increases in busi-
ness are reported by Aaron's Deli
cateSsen. A spokesman for the
firm says:
"FOr the past two weeks re-
ceipts have been steadily climb
ing"
Attributed to BUY" Drive
This statement is but one more
proof of the fact that people are
purchasing plenty Of goods this
month. Many merchants, includ-
ing several delicatessen dealers,
attribute large part of the rea-
son for this trend to the BUY in
September" movement, sponsored
by The Washington Times and
Hearst newspapers throughout
the country.
Backed by prominent figures in
governmental, business and civil
life all over the nation, the pur-
pose of the Hearst drive is to re-
turn to industry as soon as posi-
BILE the extra costs of labor it has
voluntarily adopted under the
Blue Eagle.
