NEW FIGURES
ON SURPLUS
Estimate Reduced in Report
To Seal After New Check;
Price Cuts Sought
By LOUIS E. WHITE

\
Revised estimates as to the
amount of surplus milk it's mem
bers handle daily were given to-
day by the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Milk Producers Association to
Elwood Seal, Assistant Corpora
ton Counsel, who is projecting
the plan of District officials to
provide milk for the needy.
Previously the association Off
Gals had said that the amount
Of surplus milk handled daily by
its members never was less than
5000 gallons nor more than
$4,000 gallons, and that at pres.
ent the daily surplus was run
ming between 5000 and 5000
gallons.
Average Uncertain
Today, however, the officials
said that, on rechecking their
figures, they found that the daily
surplus never exceeds $4,000 gal.
Ions nor is less than 1000 gal.
Ions. The officials today could
not supply information as to the
average amount that is being
handled daily at present, but Mr.
seal has requested that thew
provide that information as soon
as possible.
Meanwhile, the assistant cor
poratlon counsel revealed that he
had received word from the Wake.
field Dairy saying that it is taking
no surplus milk at present, indi.
eating that it would not partici.
pate in the plan Mr.. Seal is work
ing on to have the surplus milk
proceSSed eheaply, SO as to reduce
the local governments expenses
Tor caring for relief clients.
Price Cuts Sought
Wakefield used to handle be-
tween 300 and 1000 gallons daily,
it reported, but, since September
., has been dumping the surplus
back on the producers.
While Mr.. Seal is mapping the
plans to carry out this project.
thought is being given along other
channels in an effort to reduce
permanently and materially the
retail price of all milk here.
A new proposal, just ad-
Vanced by DR. Frederic C. Howe.
consumers counsel for the AAA,
may prove the basis for some.
thing concrete in the direction of
the attempts to reduce retail milk
costs.
City To Buy Milk
The new proposal contemplates
that the local municipality would
buy up all the milk in this area.
pay the farmers a price which
would give them at least a small
profit above cost of production.
paSteurize the milk and then sell
it to the local distributors for a
price only little above what is
paid the farmers to cover the pas
teurization costs.
In discussing DR.. Howe's Sugges-
ton today, Elwood Seal, Assistant
ton today, Mr.. Seal expressed in
terest in the new proposal, but as
serted that before passing judy
ment he would have to be more
thoroughly informed as to numer.
Gus details.
He indicated. however, that
when the opportunity presents it.
self he may confer with DR.. Howe
to discuss the proposal in detail.

The last time we "fiddIed"

OF course, they say that

FAVOR
BIC BUSES To
RELIEVE JAM
DriSCoII Presents Plan For
RuSh-Hour Service to Aid
Street Cars

A proposal for rush-hour bus
service in which the street car
company would use huge buses Of
the type used in the Century Of
Progress Exposition in Chicago
was made to the Public Utilities
Commission at the onening of the
rerouting hearing today by A. j..
Driscoll, president of the Mid
City Citizens Association.
Citizens Back Plan
Mr.. DriScoll told the commission
that the consensus Of the citizens
organizations vas that there
should be more service in the
morning and evening rush hours
and suggested that the proposed
large buses should run from the
edge of the District OIL all sides by
the straightest route to the con-
gested downtown areas.
j. H. Hanna, president OF the
Capital Traction Co., objected TO
the idea because of the length OF
the proposed buses; but Mr.. Dris-
coll replied that one bus is not SO
long as two street cars coupled to-
gether.
Would Cut Time of Trips
Mr.. Driscoll declared the entire
passenger load could be taken
downtown in the moring and up
town in the evening in half the
time it now takes the cars.
William Van Duzer, traffic di-
rector, questioned about the bus
plan, said that in his opinion it
would be entirely workable if the
BUSES used direct routes and did
not follow car lines.
Beeler Plan Attacked
Traffic Director Van Duzer
also testified that a careful check
on the proposed new routes and
the additional downtown curves
proved that the proposed Beeler
downtown route would delay
traffic an average of
Is per cent of the time in which
such traffic ordinarily traversed
downtown streets.
Director Van Duzer illustrated
his argument with a series of
showing each of the
proposed Beeler street car routes
downtown and showing how the
traffic would be delayed
by the right or left-hand turn of
street cars.

"oh. my! oh. my!" the hunter cried. "The Tinymites are caught jnslde the cave and I don't know what I can do to help them out.
 "rd like to roll that rock along and clear the way, but I'm not strong. I'll have to wait until somebody else comes here, no doubt.''
 Then, from the entrance to the cave, he plainly heard wee Duncy rave. "Hey, it is getting hot in here. The rock fits almost tight.
 "Go find a plank. It seems to me with that you ought to set us free. Just wedge the plank be- meath the rock and pry with all your might"
 The hunter yelled back. "All right, will get the plank. I'm game to try" And then he dash ed off to his hunt, and soon came running back.
 He put the plank beneath the stone. The Tinies heard him grunt and groan. ''Its no .use," signed the hunter, when the plank began to crack.

 "Get down and push as best you can. It's your fault that the Tinnies ran into the cave. I'm glad that I am out here stead of in"
  The fat bear soon gave up be- cause the big rock stayed right where it was. Then Mister Hunter shouted, "Oh, I have a plan, l think.
 Come on, now, bear, try once again. The tiger'll help you push and then the rock may move. Then all those tots will run out, in a wink"
 It really was a sight to see the two beasts, busy as could be. From inside of the cave wee Scouty shouted You're too slow!" The hunter soon said. 'It's no use. That big rock simply won't roll loose. We'll have to think of ! some new plan to try and make 1t go."

presided.
In order to permit its members
an opportunity to inspect the

partment, the Inter-Federation
Council Of Citizens Associations,
composed Of delegates from the
Federation Of Citizens Associa-
tions of the District of Columbia,
Montgomery county, Md, and Ar
lington county, Va, met last
night at the Tenth precinct police
station.
The entire equipment was in
stalled by Sergt. j. L. Kelly, OF
that precinct. Major Ernest w.
Brown, superintendent Of police,
said the 80 cars in operation with
radio service last year responded
to over half a million calls, many
in less than two minutes.
During the brief business seS-
sion, the federation Endorsed a
resolution, presented by Jesse c.
Suter, for a high level bridge to
supercede the present. Chain
Bridge over the Potomac River,
the new bridge to be a Federal
project and the committee to so
urge when appearing before the
proper authorities. A request will
be made for $4,000 from Federal

tinue one of the two offices. 1t
frequently happens that opinions
rendered by the two departments
on public utilities matters clash
and the decision of one council
should be sufficient to determine
all questions, it was stated.
The association adopted a re-
port from its committee on vel
fare, requesting the Superintend-
ent of schools to have the lunches
served southeastern school chill
dren placed on parity with those
served in other sections of the
city. The report stated the
lunches were inferior and improp'
erly served. This condition, it also
was stated, has been discovered by
the recent visit to the southeast
section schools by Mrs. Franklin
D. Roosevelt, Mrs. Eleanor Patter-
son and Mrs. John Boyle, jr., OF
the advisory council on school
lunches.
Old-Age Pension Approved
A resolution from the same
committee, approving the Cope

was adopted.
In adopting a report from the
Law and Legislation Committee,
the association gave it's diSap'

Why You Should
Never Cut a Corn

II you are troubled with corns or cal
louses, do not run the risk Of blood pol
son by pairing them. Statistics show
that many deaths have occurred from
this seemingly innocent practice Of par
ing corns.
Simply go to your druggist and get a
few cents worth Of Ice-Mint, rub lit
tie on any painful corn or callous. I'm.
mediately the pain will disappear and
in a short time the corn or callous
will loosen and lift off easily with the
fingers-root and all-leaving the sur
rounding skin in a healthy normal con-
dition.
This together with the fact that Ice
Mint overcomes such affections as sore,
tired. aching puffed or burning feet and
makes them cool, easy and comfortable.
Is probably responsible for the hearty
endorsement given it by druggists.
To rid ones feet Of every hard corn,
soft corn, corn between the toes or
painful calIouses in such a pleasant and
safe way, makes it seem the height of
folly for anyone to pare a corn and
people are warned to stop it.
