PATTERN 1853

1t is so much pleasanter and
simpler to look slender than to
get slender, that half the time
it is not worth while to go
through all that bothersome
business of diet and exercise.
At least not until the resources
of a smart, slenderizing frock
like this have been exhausted.
You could easily take off 10
pounds and not get anything
like the satisfactory results this
skilfully cut gown gives. The
surplice, the jabots, the double
points in the skirt, all are care
fully calculated to contribute
graceful slim lines as well as
chic.

GAS PRICE RISE
PREDICTED

Gasoline prices, being quoted as
low as 1912 cents per gallon here
today, probably will start their
return trip" upward early next
week.
This was forecasted by several
"gas" dealers today as reports
came from New York and Balti-
more headquarters of the major
oil dealers, from where prices here
are dictated, that no further re-
auctions would be made in the
local price battle.
However, it was also reported
that the major companies would
not seek to increase their prices
until independent distributors
took the first step. Independent
dealers are just as insistent that
they would not take the lead in
the return to old prices.
Today the prices stand at 1112
cents at major company stations
and 1912 at independent stations.
These prices, it was indicated,
probably will hold good through
out tomorrow.

ROBERTS HOLDS
NEW ROUTING
INADEQUATE

Attacking the present rerouting
plans as not providing adequate
and proper improvement of street
car service, Peoples Counsel Will
liam A. Roberts today advanced
plan which calls for tunnel
under E Street. between Four.
teenth and Twenty-second Street,
to relieve congestion in the Fed
eral triangle.
Mr.. Roberts also asked for the
construction of a tunnel under
Dupont Circle. These projects
would cost 100000.
Opposed by Company
Addressing brief to the Public
Utilities Commission, Mr.. Roberts
asked that substantial improve.

ordered. He stated:

The Federal triangle tn
originally suggested by
and Planning Commissio
was opposed by the street
company as being prohibitive

Asks u. S. Financing
Mr.. Roberts said the Fedora
government should finance the E
Street and Dupont Circle tunnels,
and that the District will prof.
ably be expected to shoulder its
share of the costs
The cost of the changes sug.
gested by Mr.. Roberts would ap"
proximate $3,500,00O.
Mr.. Roberts plan also calls for
the establishment of three street
car terminals. These would be at
Wisconsin and Nebraska Avenues
Northwest: Connecticut Avenue
and Porter Street Northwest, and
Eighth and Pennsylvania Avenue
Southeast.
Beyond these bus line networks
would be established and car tracks
abandoned.
Bus Fare Cut Urged
Another change suggested IS the
establishment of bus line from
the area of River Road down Con-
necticut Avenue and over to TWen-
ty-second Street on Florida Ave-
nue..
From Twenty-Second Street the
line would carry passengers south
to F. Street to the Mall triangle
area. The line would run
through the shopping district on
Twelfth Street and return over
it's route.
Fares on all bus lines would
be made uniform with street car
fares with free universal trans
fers, under Mr.. Roberts plan.
The only exception would be the
de luxe Chevy Chase coach line.
Mr.. Roberts suggested a sur
