may need any day, and they
know it, too.
Bill Pickens, teamed with DeX,
ter Fellows among historic press
agents, used to tell about the
never-absent consciousness OF
death in the minds of racing
drivers-death lurking around
the next turn. Inevitably, but
illogically, of course, they sought
to fend off evil.
Barney Oldfield's cigar, never
absent in a race. was a tails
man. Bill doubted whether
Barney could or would have
entered a race without that
cigar. Some drivers have a
firm belief that, to insure
safety, they must enter the
car from the left side; others
from the right. Johnny Han
non, one of the indianapolis
victims mentioned above, staked
all on a black shirt. This, ne
believed, would rout evil. one
wonders if he wore it at India
napoliS.
FOR GOOD LUCK
Arthur Noll believed thert
would be certain disaster for
him if he ever raced on Sun
day. On Sunday, July 10, 1882.
he broke this rule and raced
at Ridgway, N. J.-and was
killed! Baby shoes are the
favorite mascots, and many,
many racing cars carry then
through the lightning zig-zag
the race inferno. Eddie Pullen,
in the old days, always hung
the baby shoes on the front
springs. Pete de Paola hung
them on the steering wheel.
Ora Habey, one of the most
daring and skillful of all racing
drivers, would drive nothing
but a green car.
He never failed to finish in
the money with a car Of this
hue and he never won a dime
in one of another color. He
used to stay up all night, If
necessary, to paint his car
green before a race,
Howard Wilcox always car
ried a teddy bear in the seat
of his car. Bob Burman would
never head in without wearing
a double diamond shirt stud.
Don Herr always wore a
woman's stocking tied around
his neck. At Woodbridge, N.
j., Johnny Gerber and May
nard Clark always kept a pig,
almost deliberately groomed and
cared for and fed with deli
cacies.
Hughie Hughes, racing driver
of 20 years ago, was never in a
race without an ivory elephant
tied around his neck. He col
lected little carved elephants,
and the more he got of them,
the more assured and daring
he was in his races.

she is flattered if a boy Of 20
calls her kid"
A young girl is flattered if a
man jumps up to offer her
seat in the trolley car. But, at
40, she wonders whether that
act of chivalry is a tribute to her
grazing hairs - and is more
likely to feel insulted.
Middle age is the point at
which a woman begins to regard
as flattery, the things which she
used to consider insulting-and
vice versa.
Once a girl would have been
highly inSulted if the Boy
Friend had called her Mike"
or "Old Thing" or Funny Face:
but now she is flattered-be-
cause she knows that is about
the tenderest form of endear-
ment she'll get out of him.
And it is safe bet that NO
woman is ever insulted at being
called "Cutey"-even by bibu-
lous stranger.
Once, a woman would have
been "insulted" if a strange man
stared at her - now she is
merely flattered. Once, a girl
said "Sir!" if a married man in.
vited her out to lunch. Now.
she says wait till I get my
hat on!"
To be easily insulted was once
the hallmark of Mice Grip;
but nowadays, girl who is Gin
suited" by anything short of a
punch in the eye seems to be
afraid that she will be regarded
as a poor sport. Or worse still,
a "prune."

More Japanese Competition?

George Peek foreign trade adviser the President has had
his wings clipped and Secretary Of State Hull to be allowed
ahead with his low tariff free trade agreements with
other natons-if Washington indications correct.
American manufacturers who have had close their factories
because of the competition of cheap made products from
Japan elsewhere will be interested in the prospects of
worse competition in future.
So will American laborers who used to work in those
factories and hoped to again sometime.

Bouquets or Insults?
It takes a microscope for even
a sophisticated girl to be able
to distinguish between an insult
and compliment, these days.
There was a time when no
woman had to think twice about
it. She KNEW when a man was
offering ! her a bouquet, and
when he was offering her an
impertinence. Those were the

OLD FAVORITES

'She Is Far from The Land" by Thomas Moore
She is far from the land where her young hero sleeps
And lovers round her, signing:
But codly she turns from their gaze and weeps,
For her heart in his grave is lying.
She sings the wild songs of her dear native plains,
Every note which he loved awaking-
Ah little they think, who delight in her strains
How the heart of the minstrel is breaking.
He had lived for his love, for his country he died
They all that to life had entwined him;
Nor shall the tears of his country be dried,
Nor long will his love stay behind him.
Oh! make her grave where the sunbeams rest,
When they promise a glorious morrow;
They'll shine DER her Sleep like smile from the West
From her loved island of

ANOTHER REASON

There's quite another reason
for their seemingly brutal acts.
We all love life.
We all want more life
more of the sense of rich,
colorful, adventurous living.
And we turn to those who
will give us that sense of
richer life-Who will drive away
our blues-revive our pride
stimulate our ambition.
There's nothing wrong in that.
We seek such people as natur-
ally as a plant seeks the sun, as
OUR bodies seek food. Indeed,
they ARE food to our spirits,
food which we greatly need.

They ave money for their
men, they give them loyal serv.
ice-but they do not give them a
sense of adventure-they do not
excite them or stimulate them.
They feel that Good Deeds

Deeds should be appreciated.

1O.CENT BUS FARE
PROTEST REJECTED
Rush-Hour Service Charge Is
Held Reasonable and
proner

Protest against the 10-cent cash fare
on the ruSh-hour express bus service
between Takoma and downtown Wash
1ngton filed last Friday by Peoples
Counsel William A. Roberts, was re-
jected today by the Public Utilities
Commission.
The agency held the fare was
reasonable and proper, and in effect,
denied petition by Roberts for a
public hearing
The new bus line is to go into serv-
ice March IS and will be operated
down Fifth street to Madison and from
there to the congested area via Thir-
teenth street. The fare either will be
10 cents cash or presentation of a
$1.25 weekly pass.
The commission revealed in its de-
ciSion today it plans a general re-
hearing on the entire fare structure
for the merged transportation system
after rerouting plans how being de-
veloped are placed into actual opera
ton.
In rejecting Roberts proposal for
charging only the street car token
fare on the new bus line, the COM
mission declared emphatically that
the express rIlsh-hour buses would
constitute a supplemental and supe-
rior service and would in no sense be
a substitute for the present street car
service.
The 1O-cent cash fare will not con-
stitute an increase in fare for a class
of service, the commission said, for
the reason that buses now operating
in the northern section of the city
have a 1O-cent cash fare.

HOLDING COMPANY
BAN IS SUPPORTED
Congress Starts Work on
Legislation to Abolish
Utility Set-ups.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Congress today started work on |
legislation to abolish utility holding
companies. receiving from DR.. Walter |
NJ. w. Splawn recommendations to |
that end along with an Endorsement !
of the Rayburn- Wheeler control bill. |
Before the House Interstate Com
merce Committee, the Interstate Com
merce commissioner spoke from hight |
piled volumes representing final re-
suits of a year-long investigation of |
utilities he conducted for the COM |
mittee at Congress direction. His |
recommendations included: /
/. Federal regulation of interstate |
commerce in natural gas by pipe line. !
2. Federal regulation of interstate |
commerce in electric energy.
8. Elimination of the holding COM |
pany from the power and gas indus |
tries, with possible exception of its !
temporary use to bring into existence |
an operating company serving num-
ber of contiguous communities or a
single company which also might be
an operating company to conform
with State laws in limited region.
Tax Exemption Part OF Plan.
4. THE disintegration of the OBJ
jectionable and unwieldy So-called
holding company systems should be
encouraged by exempting from taxa
ton the issuance of exchange OF
securities incident to an equitable re-
distribution of equities among the
security holders of existing corpora
tions."
DR.. Splawn praised the cooperation
which he said had been shown by most
of the companies and said any appar-
emily severe statements affecting such
companies did not necessarily apply
to individuals.
Instead of encouraging, through
tax exemption, a mushroom growth
of holding companies and a prema-
ture organization of the power in
dustry on a national scale, the Gov
ernment should get rid of most Of the
evils incident to this undesirable sys-
tem," Splawn said in letter sub
mitting the report.
"The elimination of these evils
could be accomplished by laying down
a national policy that power and gas
industries should be developed re-
gionally.
Specific Policy Outlined.
"To bring about this regional organ
ization of the industries, the Govern
ment could express the Eoilcy that
each operating company should own
such properties as it could most eco
nomically administer, and that there
should be no holding companies inter-
posed on such an operating company
except to serve the temporary pur-
poses of promotion and organization
of a regional operating company, or
to meet the strict requirements of
State laws. Further encouragement
to this reorganization should be given
through leniency in the application OF
tax laws.
The Congress can lay down as a
national policy in the power industry
that an operating company shall be
the top company and shall own all
the properties which it can most eco
nomically administer, and that there
shall be over such operating COM
panieS no holding companies author
lied to own or deal in the stocks of
the operating corporations for the
purpose Of influencing the manage
ment.
mo corporation should be permitted
to vote the stock of power company"
