Congressional Republicans to-
day diagnosed the results Of yes
terday's elections as indicating q
strong trend back to the Republi-
can party.
Democrats, however, generally
held that the elections have little
or no national significance.
Senator Davis (R0, Of PennSyl-
vania, declared:
THE people are looking to the
Republicans to bring the country
back to normal conditions"
There Is nothing in the cleo
tions, so far as I have read, to
discourage the Administration. !"
said Senator Thomas Cd, Of
Utah.
THE very closeness Of the vote
in New York is q Democratic vic
tory" said Senator Black CD, Of
Alabama. THE Democrats do not
need to worry about these elec-
tions."
Representative Reed (R.), Of
Tennessee, said: There Is a def
mite trend against the New Deal
and back to the Republican party,
and that this trend is nationwide
will be shown when the people
have a chance to express them
selves at the polls"
Representative Cochran D), Of
Missouri, said: THE only thing of
national significance, as I see it, Is
the election of two Democratic
members Of Congress"

End Bad Cough
Quickly, at One
Fourth the Cost
Homs-Mixsdl No cookingi Easyl

Millions Of housewives have found
that, by mixing their own cough medi-
cine, they get a much more effective
remedy. They use a recipe which costs
only one-fourth as much as ready-made
medicine, but which really has no equal
for breaking up distressing coughs.
From any druggist, get 2h ounces
of Pinex. Pour this into a pint bottle.
and add granulated sugar syrup to fill
up the pint. The syrup is easily made
with cups sugar and one cup water,
stirred a few moments until dissolved.
No cooking needed. It's no trouble at
all, and makes the most effective rem
edy that money could buy. Keeps per-
fectly, and children love its taste.
Its quick action in loosening the
phlegm, helping clear the air passages,
and soothing away the irritation, has
caused it to be used in more homes
than any other cough remedy.
Pinex is a concentrated compound
of Norway Pine, famous for its sOOth-
ing effect ON throat membranes. Money
refunded if it doesn't please you in
every way.

sionerS in placing William P.
Ames fourth among the 16 candi'
dates seeking the five seats on
the board.

Democratic primary to be held
August 6 will develop into fist
fights if they continue the per
sonal attacks of the past few
weeks, it was predicted here to-

Echoes of the shortages in the

becoming more personal at each
political rally.

With bitter fights being waged
for the offices of sheriff, treasur-

orally expected that some of the
candidates will completely lose
their heads before the polls open.
Most of the rallies so far have
limited the candidates to IS min

have complained:
This isn't time enough to get
warmed up for the real exposes
of just what is going on in

THREATS HOLD
EX-ARMY MAN

Ira Bashnin, said to be former
second lieutenant of the United
States Army, was indicted by the
District Grand Jury today on
charges of sending threatening
letters to the President of the
United States.
Believed to be the first man
ever indicted under that particu-
lar section of the U. S. Penal Code,
Bashnin is now serving term in
District Jail imposed in Police
Court for drunkenness.
Little could be learned of the
military history of the accused,
but attaches of the District Attor-
ney'S office stated he was dis
charged from the Army several
years ago, shortly after his gradu-
alton from West Point. Since
that time, it is said, he has been
unable to find work and wrote
the President of the United
States several letters advising
that unless work were furnished
him he would bomb" the Chief
Executives quarters.
Records in the case contain re-
ports of examinations by alienists
indicating that Bashnin is men
tally deranged. On these reports,
it is considered probable that a
lunacy inquisition will be held
when Bashnin is released from
Jail and committed to st. Eliza
beth'S Hospital.

Redheaded Queen Elizabeth,
who reigned over England from
1858 to 1903, probably would have
blushed with shame and turned to
the very shade of her hair, if she
had known that today-more than
1872 years after she discarded her
corset-both men and women
would look it over and exclaim:
did she wear that?"
Perhaps, right now, she is turn
ing over in her grave or shaking

Had Plenty To Wear
Queen Elizabeth's corset (they

HEARING JULY )
ON CAB RATES

Shortly after President Roose-
welt signed the 1886 District ap-
preparations bill, the Public Utili-
ties Commission yesterday set July
3 as the date for a I ublic hearing
on a uniform system of zone taxi
cab rates.
The Commission is empowered
through a rider in the bill to fix
zone rates, but is restricted from
using any of its funds to carry
out its old order for meter rates.
Taxicab drivers who are mem
bers of the union are expected to
sponsor a 2O-4O-6O-8O zone rate or
a rate of Is cents for the first
zone and a continuation of the
three other zones as 40-6O-80.
The majority of Washington
taxicabs operate under the 1890
1910 rate, but here is a general
belief among drivers that this
rate is too low.

CITIZENS DOUBT

P. U. C. Asked for Guarantee
of Satisfaction Before Car
Line Is Abandoned

Although saying they were will
ing to be convinced that SubStitu-
ton of buses for street cars
along Connecticut Avenue north
of Calvert Street would be bene-
ficial to residents Of the area,
citizens of that area plainly indi.
Gated today that they were skep-
tical of such move.
At a public hearing before the
Public Utilities Commission Edwin
S. Hege, president of the Chevy
Chase Citizens Association, asked
whether adequate service would be
provided by buses, saying:
"Can you guarantee us that
everyone will be able to find
seats on the buses or whether
we will be faced with the intoler-
able situation of persons having
to stand on BUSES all along the
route down Connecticut Ave.
nue?"
WOULD SAVE MONEY
John H Hanna. president of
the Capital Transit Company,
pointed out that his company
could make no such guarantee,
but that the Public Utilities Com
mission would see to it that
adequate service" would be pro-
vided before it would consent to
abandonment of the street car
line.
Petition was made by the transit
company to abandon the line for
the reason that such action would
save large sum in necessary i'm
provements to tracks. A similar
petition was made to the Public
Service Commission of Maryland
for abandonment of the car line
beyond Chevy Chase Circle.
Faster Service
A large group of citizens at
tended the hearing and refrained
from Voicing either approval or
opposition, preferring to hear the
testimony of the transit company
experts before taking stand.
1t was pointed out by company
officials that the bus service would
save approximately seven minutes
in the local service during base
periods and from eight to nine
minutes during rush hours.
The express service would save
10 minutes during base periods
and between IL and Is minutes
during rush hours.

OF course, if business is wise,

"True golden hair was held

Women of fashion incurred
much censure from the pulpit and

Face painting was common
