assured, the peasants were wait
ing to restore their thrones.
Their plans went wrong be-
cause of turnips. The peasants
may have wanted the mon.
archy, but before it they wanted
their crops. Turnips were pre-
ferred before kings, and the
railroads cars, which were to
carry the adherents of Carl,
carried instead the lowly fruit
of the field.
France and England stepped
in quickly, demanding that
Carl and Zita be turned over to
them as prisoners.
This was done and off they
were packed to Madeira as
exiles. Carl, at rs, was a broken
man. He contracted pneu-
monia in the house with the
leaky roof on that beautiful
island. Zita did all in her power
to pull him through. She de-
manded that the doctors use
her blood in TRANSMISSION, but
they refused to risk her life in
an attempt to save his.
Carl died, and Zita's bitter
cup was filled. In three short
years, she had lost a throne, a
country and a husband. Not
yet 80 years old, she was still
an outcast with her seven chill
dren and one unborn.
The fortitude of this woman
is remarkable, admired even by
the implacable foes of the mon
archy for which she stands. 1t
won her permission to leave
Madeira and go to Spain under
the protection of her kinsman,
Alfonso.
Later, the Belgians, who have
a warm spot for her family, re-
ceived her. She has a home to-
day outside of Brussels with a
few retainers who serve her as
your Majesty"
Her oldest son, Otto, has been
studying at Louvain. But he
is coming of age and it BELTS
him as pretender to a throne
to take a royal bride.
If report is true, it will be a
daughter of the Italian ruling
house, and such an alliance
would enhance his chances for
reestablishing the monarchy.
Arrayed against zita is the
Little Entente, especially Czecho-
slovakia, which has given warn
ing time and again that it will
not permit the restoration OF
the House of Hapsburg.
She is watched like a hawk
because, as her opponents say,
she is "a fast worker and a
smart one"
The odds against her are
great, as they always have
BEEN.
One thing is certain. She will
carry on to the end ruled by the
motto which she chose for her
self as young girl, which she
has followed so steadfastly, and
which is: More for you than
for me-"

No figure in the world today
is more interesting and none
has the story of the slight,
dark little woman. who, dressed
severely in black, fits about
Europe, possessed with one
ambition-that of seeing her
handsome son invested with the
titles which we're his fathers
Emperor of Austria, King of
Jerusalem and Apostolic King
of Hungary. Zita of Bourbon
Parma is the Mary of Scotland
and Carlotta of Mexico of our
time.
AS a girl of 10 she became
the bride of the youthful Carl,
Archduke of Austria, and the
grandnephew of the Emperor
Franz Joseph. In love and in
obscurity, they lived for seven
years, raising their children,
with the archduke pushing the
baby carriages through the
streets Of Vienna.
Then, at the height of the
World War, Franz Joseph died
and the two young people, Carl
and Zita, were called to rule the
empire of Austria Hungary.
Zita detested the war, and
her allegiance was divided, for
she was an Italian noblewoman
and two of her brothers were
serving in the Belgian army.
She detested. too, the Hohen-
zollern domination of her king
dom and she prevailed upon
Carl to make oVertures for
peace. This he did in a letter
to her brother SiXtuS, in which
he recognized the justice OF
Frances claim to AlSace L,or-
raine.
The fury of the kaiser and
his war lords knew no bounds.
All the diabolic villainy of the
German propaganda machine
was launched against the en-
press.
It struck where it would most
deeply hurt a religious woman,
a devoted wife and mother.
Infamous stories accused her Of
infidelity.
Not only Austria heard them.
they crossed continents and
oceans, with the press of Amer
lea carrying columns about an
impending divorce of the Aus
trian royal couple. To CarlS
credit, he never wavered in his
faith in Zita, and to her credit,
she never forgave her column

Only recently she refused alb
Solutely to meet an envoy of the
German crown prince and she
is opposed to Hitler and his
NaziS.

the biggest thing in your life.
A youngster was prepared to
give it all he had. If he didn't
he didn't last long. So you
didn't hear much kicking about
overtime. And if a young fell
low was handed a little extra
responsibility, he thought it was
a compliment.
But these kids today have
an entirely different slant. They
work because they have to. But
they aren't tickled over it, or
proud of it-and it sure isn't
their main interest.
Their main interest, as near
as I can figure it out, is having
a good time. OF course, most Of
them have got some idea Of a
big career-someday. But 1t
never seems to have any connec-
ton with the job on hand.
THAT'S different. That's just
something they've got to do I'M
til their big break comes along.
AND so THEY WON'T GIVE
THEIR JOB A BIT MORE
THAN THEY HAVE TO,
They study just long enough
to land themselves some kind of
a paying proposition, and then
just TRY to make them go on
developing themselves!
CIR instance, if it's a girl,
she'll learn to be pretty fast on
the machine and turn out a fair
looking letter. After that, she
expects to get by by interesting
the boss, or using her job to
meet useful people. And a boy
figures about the same. If you
ask them to forget the parties,
and cut out the holidays, and
dig in the way we used to do,
tney mink you're crazy.
1.-THE trouble is, they want to
have their cake and eat it, too.
They've been brought up soft.
They've been used to a lot of
fun and leisure, and they don't
intend to let any job interfere
with it.
They're smart-there's no
use denying that. They can do
almost any job they set their
minds to. BUT IF YOU'RE
DEPENDING ON THEM FOR

There's the report on twen-

Compared with 1928, our production is only II per
cent
Japan's is 40 per cent

What's wrong with this country? When nearly every

Can it be that we have been MAKING obstacles for
ourselves instead Of smoothing them over to let recovery
take its course?
Is it conceivable that the Brain Trust panaceas

Although none reflects on the
ability of Mr.. Hoover, it has
been pointed out that on the
Steamboat Inspection Service
rests a large share of the re-
sponsibility for determining the
seaworthiness of ships.
1t also rests with the service
to make certain that safety de-
vices are in shape and that
crew and officers follow regu-
latiOnS designed to protect the
lives Of passengers.
If the Steamboat Inspection
Service fails to make a proper
inspection and declines to OBJ
serve that certain officers and
men are not conforming to

ficials of that service should not
be charged at a later date with
conducting an investigation of

The Transit Company

The Transit Company
With the city and it's officials striving to work out
comprehensive reroung Of street and buses the
Capital Transit Company has not improved its claims to
popular favor by injecting the matter of the purchase Of
the Washington Rapid Transit Company
President John H. Hanna and his associates in the
Transit Company know full well that the people of Wash
ingon suspicious of the manpulatons of the local
transportation system by the North American Company
They know that the public here has resented the dom
nation of the transportation agencies of the city by
a foreign holding company.
MR.. HANNA AND HIS ASSOCIATES KNOW THAT
IT WAS THE MANIPULATION OF THE LOCAL COM
PANIEs BY THE HOLDING COMPANY THAT FOR
YEARS PREVENTED THE INSTALLATION OF
SINGLE UNIT HERE IN PLACE OF THE COMPEL
ING CAR COMPANIES.
Mr. Hanna and his associates know further that their
conduct in the matter of reroutg has not endeared the
merged company the street riders to the public
generally
The people of Washington when the merger per-
mitted looked to the heads of the company for
scheme under which better service would be rendered
NO SUCH SCHEME WAS FORTHCOMING AND
NONE IS FORTHCOMING NOW.
The Public Utilities Commission and not the company
Is responsible for bringing the reroutng matter to the
fore and for pushing it to what it is hoped will be happy
conclusion.
Confronted with this situation MIR. Hanna and his as
socates drop down the commission in the midst OF it's
hearings the reroung matter the proposal to purchase
the bus company at preposterous figure
Further than that the Transit Company officials insist
upon immediate consideration of the purchase proposal
They insist that the purchase be given priority over the
recruiting
Fortunately for the people Of Washington the Commits
sion shows no disposition to bow before the demands OF
the company.
The purchase of the bus company which is indirectly
owned by the holding company which dominates the street
car company can well wait for awhile.
No one will suffer is bought That is no one
will suffer except those who have tried to make stock
manipulation of the local transit system.
The Capital Transit Company would be doing more
lasting good for its the company devoted its
attention trying to please its patrons with proper re-
routing scheme instead Of trying to milk million dollars
out of the people of Washington for the purchase OF few
decrepit BUSES. -
THE CAPITAL TRANSIT COMPANY, ALTHOUGH
IT'S EARNINGS HAVE BEEN IMPROVING SINCE
THE MERGER, HAS NO MONEY TO WASTE. IF IT
WANTS TO BUILD FOR THE FUTURE AND INSURE
CONTINUED IMPROVEMENT IN ITS EARNINGS IT
WILL PUT WHATEVER MONEY IT CAN SPARE

Continued from page u

porated In the petition now pend
ing before Judge Hollzer and was
filed under provisions of the new
municipal relief act. The petition
stated the district has outstand-
ing Sl4,250,000 in bonds, $886,000
in warrants and approximately
$220,000 in unpaid interest.
Counsel for minority interests,
representing some 1851 900 of cred
itors, objected to the matters of
fact claimed by the protective as
sociation but Judge Hollzer refused
to admit the objections to the
record at this time. The court
held that under the relief act a
dissenting group must represent at
least five per cent of the total
bondholders.
To Hear Minority
The minority group scored, how
ever, by obtaining from the court
permission to be heard when the
merits of the plan itself are up
for hearing.
George Harrington of San Fran
cisco, counsel for the ma ajority
group, had contended the minority
was not entitled to a voice unless
it represented at least five per
cent.
Judge Hollzer set Dec. 81 as the
date for hearing claims set forth
in the petition. He suggested that
the minority group at that time
submit proof that it has five per
cent support of the entire dis
trict. Constitutionality of the act
may be challenged, attorneys for
the lesser group indicated.
Among minority interests were
Southern Sierras Power company,
Hydro Electric Securities company,
G.. F.. Covell, Mary E. Morris, Pa
cific National Bank Of San Fran
cisco, Bank of San Pedro, Bank OF
America and group of l6 bond
holders in Riverside county.
