transit service. There remains the ques-
ton of supplying sufficient service to
carry the passengers beyond the limits
of present equipment as stated by the
proposed rules. There will be no accom-
modation in such a rule of limitation for
those who are unable to get aboard a
bus. The would-be passenger who is
left standing at stopping point while
busses that are filled to specified capacity
run past without stopping will be in no
degree served by such a regulation. In
deed, the waiting passenger will be less
well served by reason of limiting rule.
1t is quite evident that there is not
a sufficient service to meet the public
requirements during the hours OF heav~
lest travel. More vehicles running on
quicker headway are required, especially
if the capacity rules are obeyed. On
the lines where buses have replaced
street cars there must be more units OF
transport than those formerly operated,
for the bus does not hold as many pas
sengers as does the street car, however
it may be crowded.
With established routes, which are
along the lines of heavy travel, the addi-
ton of more busses to the service adds
to congestion and thereby imposes a
handicap on the maintenance of sched-
ules. Yet there must be more busses
on these routes to give the service that
is required particularly with the adop-
ton of limiting rule respecting loads.
The public must be served.

OvercrOwded Buses.

The hearings before the Public Utilities
Commission on the subject of the rapid
transit accommodations have progressed
far enough to convince the commission
that a limit must be placed upon the
number of passengers to be carried by
a bus. 1t has served notice on the transit
company that it will set such limits, pre-
sumably varying with the capacity Of
the different types and sizes Of vehicles.
The chief executive of the transit COM
pany will cooperate with the chief engi-
neer of the commission in the prepara-
ton of the proposed rules.
This meets one of the complaints
which have been adsanced against the

bv the people who work. In other words,
if no one produced anything or did any
work. then there would be nothing for
the old people who are looking for the
S20O-a-month pension. Back in 1929,
when nearly every one who wanted to
work could work, the national income
amounted to S83 900 100000 on the basis
of Department of Commerce figures.
That amounted to $681 per capita.
Now, even if production stepped up
to the 1929 level and national income
increased in proportion, still 26 per cent
of all of this income would have to go
to the 9.600O00 old people who would be
expected by DR.. Townsend to ask for
pensions of 5000 month. On that same
basis. figures show that the proportion
of the earnings of the country's workers
that would have to go to support the
system would rise gradually until 1t
reached As per cent
** y X
In other words, if workers were called
on to support the Townsend plan, they
would have to give up more than one
quarter of everything they earned, to
start with, and later would have to give
up nearly half of all they earned.
The producerS-those who worked
would have to forego automobiles and
radios and homes, in order that the rela-
lively few old people could have their
luxuries. AS Government analysts see
it, the workers of the country would be
slaves to the old people. That is on the
assumption that the whole plan would
not blow up with an inflationary bang
as economists think that it would.
Is Mr.. Roosevelt going to be able to
turn the spending tide before the coun-
try tries out the drastic Townsend expert
ment?
Most every one here thinks so. Par
liamentary maneuvers will probably keep
the plan from a vote during the coming
congressional year. After that, there may
be a compromise idea that would pro-
vide tax and pension system designed
to replace Mr.. Roosevelt's highly intri-
cate old-age insurance plan and to give
moderate pensions to the aged on con-
dition that they give up work and make
room for younger people seeking work:
The view is spreading that the old
people of the country, by using their
political power, can get things from
Government in much the same way that
farmers have managed to get things in
recent years. But a compromise might
take DR.. Townsend outAof the picture.

To please him for a Christmas toy?

Yet serves the neighbors to annoy.

With tenderness
Forgetful of the passing whirl.

Fifty Years Ago

"The threatened invasion of Fifth
avenue, New York, by horse car line" !"
SAYS The Star Of De-
ATTRACTIONS OF cember %, 1885, "has
Washinr+on. brought clearly into
view its decadence OF
late years as fashionable street. The
wealthy land owners have tried to ignore
the siqns-in this case the business signs
of the times, but in vain. Little by
little the hotels and boarding houses,
the piano and furniture warehouses, the
art and bric-a-brac shops, liquor saloons
and barber shops have been creeping
I'D the street from Washington Square
until property values. even well up to-
ward Central Park, are disturbed, and
the more exclusive families are beginning
to desert the avenue just as they re-
treated in former times from the lower
portions of the city, once fashionable,
but now wholly given over to business
and a crowded tenement population.
But this emigration movement does
not stop merely with removal from
their favorite avenue. The city itself
is losing its charm as place Of residence.
The fashions of locality are so caprlclous
that wealthy men are not inclined to
invest large sums Of money IN splenola
residences which in a few years may
suffer as forlorn a fate as the palaces
of Venice. Hence in many cases those
who wish to build permanent home to
suit their tastes are finding sites on the
Hudson or in some one of the neighborng
cities.
And in this connection it may be
noticed that not only from New York,
but from all other quarters there Is
tendency toward Washington as deslr-
able place of residence. The Capital City
of a great Nation must always possess
peculiar attractions to the more mteIll-
gent and prosperous of its citizens. Here
the game of empire may be watched from
over the shoulders OF its eager players.
Here vast interests are centered, mere
public opinion is formed. here all sections
meet as nowhere else, making society
truly national. And now that the Wis
dom of Congress and our local authorl-
ties has beautified the Capital so that
it ranks with the finest cities OF the
world in attractiveness, there is IN that
fact an added inducement for investing
in property here In compact little Eng
land the powerful families have London
residence as a matter of course, wherever
may be the ancestral family seat, and
it would not be strange if, with our I'M
proved facilities for travel, a house at
the Federal Capital became as typical
of prosperity, culture and social position
here as among our TRANSATLANTIC
cousins"

I administered as remedy for in- numerable states of under nutri- tion which have nothing to do with diabetes. This will embarrass a few backwoods doctors in the metropolitan communities who | whoi have brazenly assured pa- tients that insulin is employed ex- clusively in the treatment of dia- betes, but that can't be helped now. It is high time the medical profession learned that things medical are not so just because ! some pooh-bah pronounces them so. These days you have to take into consideration the rising level of popular intelligence.
 Here are data from clinical case record, indicating the effect of supplementing the regular pre- scribed diet with daily rations of vitamins. When the citamin ra- tion was starte dthe patient was receiving 20 units of insulin each morning and 15 units at night, and the demonstration of sugar in the urine required 9 drops of test solu- tion. Two weeks later the patient received only 10 and 5 units of in- ] sulin, and 26 drops of test solution was required to demonstrate any sugar. After three weeks of pluri- vitamin therapy (the vitamin ra- ton included all of the vitamins in their natural proportions that is, as vitamins occur in ature) the patient received only one dose of 5 units of insulin daily, and 1t re- quired 39 drops of test solution to show sugar in the urine. That brings the record up to the present date.
 The vitamin ration in this in- stance effected a saving of 30 units of insulin daily, to say nothing of the marked improvement in general we'll being and resiliency.
 Theoretically it is mainly vita min B or B. complex (B and @ which promotes better carbohy. drate metabolism, better utiliza. ton of sugars and starches in the body, but practically it seems that when given singly or in artificial mixtures of two or three vitamins they are les seffective than when given in well balanced combina- tons, perhaps because that's the way they grow. One authority (kuhnau) compares the interac- ton of the vitamins to the inter- locking o fthe cog wheels of a watch. Numerous investigators and clinicians (such as Takahashi Harris, Kollath, Jusatz, Redewill - never mind the names, folks, l Just want to make 1t clear these are not merely my peculiar no- tions) have shown the overlapping or the functions of the vitamins and how each is dependent more or less on others to perform its work in the economy. AS doctors say, the vitamins are synergistic; or as biologists say they are sym biotic; and as say, we should use 'em as nature provides them l have repeatedly recommended insulin treatment for individuals who are underweight and low in vitality. Now I wish to amend that. I believe such persons should have an optional vitamin artion for at least a month before they resort to insulin.
