ARRESTS
300 Cabmen Opposing
New Zone Rates
Set by P. u. 6.

While members of the Taxi
Drivers Union went ahead with
plans for a meeting tonight to
decide on a course of action re-
garding the order fixing 2O-30-5O-
70-cent zone rates, Riley E. Elgen,
chairman of the Public Utility
Commission, today defended the
commissions action on the grounds
that higher rates would reduce
patronage and increase unemploy.
ment. He said:
"This return is better than
having men Starve because of
unemployment"
TOO MANY CARS
Mr.. Elgen admitted that the
$3.50 representing the average
daily earnings for the drivers un-
der the 20-30-50-70-cent rate is
slow, of course" but ascribed this
to the large number of taxis oper-
ating in the District of Columbia.
He added:
"And if more money is to be
charged for taxi rides, you won't
have as many riders. And few
or riders means fewer drivers"
AS to possible action by the
P. U. C. in the event that a taxi
strike is decided upon or in case
drivers insist on charging more
than the fixed rates, it was ex-
planned at the District Building
that since the rate bases have now
become a District order, the taxi
situation now lies in the jurisdic.
ton of the District law-enforce.
ment agencies.
Drivers caught charging more
than the 20-30-50-70 rate will be
subject to arrest and a fine of
5000 for each violation.
The union meeting is to be held
at Second and M Streets North.
west at 8 o'clock tonight.
Strike RumOred
Adolph Hohensee, business agent
for the organization, indicated that
a strike of the union men may be
in the offing, asserting:
"Our union just simply isn't
going to accept the order"
1t was admitted, however, that
a strike by members of this union
alone would not cripple taxi service
in Washington, since only about
800 men are affiliated with the
union, while there are some 1000
cab drivers in the city.
In reply to Mr.. Hohensee's pro-
tests against the order, Chairman
Elgen asserted that testimony at
the hearings showed the drivers
are in favor of the rates. He
added:
Perhaps you are losing sight
of the extra passenger charges
allowed in the order. Did YOU
notice you can make charges for
extra luggage?"

Washington, the scene of his
earlier happiness.
1t was only natural, Mr.. Bandy
explained today, that he got to
thinking about his first wife. He
never got over the memory of that
first courtship, he said today.
Wants to See Her
He has been thinking about the
first Mrs. Bandy so much, in fact,
that he would like to see her
again. He has not heard from her
in "a years, but he has an idea
she is in the vicinity of Washing
ton, for she was born in Anacostia.
So if Mrs. Bandy No. should
chance to see these lines, she may
see Mr.. Bandy any Tuesday or
Friday morning at Union Station,
when the train comes in from
Atlanta. He would like to "take
her to lunch or something"-as he
puts it.

Woman Official;

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE,
July 24.-Shouting that a promi-
nent woman official of Arlington

circulated "damnable lie" about
him, John Paul Jones, candidate
for commemorative attorney,
brought gasps from an audience
of nearly 1000 persons packed in
the auditorium of the Washing
ton.Lee High School last night
for the largest political rally seen
here in years.
The "damnable lie," according
to Mr.. Jones, was that he had
been seen drunk at a public
meeting of the Arlington County
Civic Federation League in Alex
andria.
Intimidation Charged
Emery N. Hosmer, another can
didate for the office of common
wealth's attorney, now held by
Lawrence w. Douglas, told of
anonymous phone calls he had
received warning him to "lay off
his cleanup" campaign. He said:
"If anyone thinks that this
sort Of tactics will silence me,
then they have another thought
coming. The first issue of my
campaign was to close the illegal
burning dumps, and this was
accomplished. Now I intend to
rid the county of these slot ma

declared he was willing to submit
his candidacy on his record.

u. S. Scientists

Three cheers for the Starlings!
With the area around Washing
ton threatened by an invasion Of
Japanese beetles and officials Of
Federal and State governments
seeking methods of control to pre-
vent damage to crops, shade trees
and shrubbery, it was admitted
today that the hitherto despised
starlings of the District are the
one best bet to combat them.
Government scientists pointed
out that the startling is a natural
enemy of the beetle and the lar
vac of the insect is the principal
diet of baby starlings.
It was admitted that the beetle
threat is coming closer daily.
Long the scourge of nearby Mary
land and Virginia farm lands, the
insect is gradually encroaching
on local territory.
AS indicated by it's name the
insect is a native of Japan and
was first discovered in the United
States in Burlington county, New
Jersey, in the summer of 1916.
From this section it spread
rapidly along the East coast.

holes made by the birds are
sometimes not more than two

investigated there was evidence
that the larval population had

Beetle traps are no longer dis
tributed in the District. For
several years the department
maintained 5000 traps to de-
termine the extent of beetle habi-
tation. It was pointed out:
Traps are not a control
measure. They serve only to
determine how many beetles
there are in a given locality"
Officials of the University of
Maryland chronological depart

yesterday to discover the extent
of beetle habitation reported that
the insect pest is more threaten

Keep Neck
And Chin
Young
By JULIET SHELBY

Grace Moore, who has broken
box office records with her
vivacious personality and beau
tiful voice in lone Night of
Love-" says that much of screen
success depends on keeping
physically fit and preserving the
contours of the body, particular
ly the contours of the face,
neck and chest.
No radiant screen beauty can
afford to get double chin or
allow her neck to become wrink-
led or gaunt.
just watch Miss Moore's full,
lovely throat as she sings the
songs that have endeared her
to a vast public. Notice her
youthful chin contour and be
convinced that here is another
screen beauty who practices
what she breaches.
Each night Miss Moore uses
a rich cream on her skin. In
fact, she said she was in
debted for much of her beauty
knowledge to the prominent
salon that produces this newly
marketed cream.
With long, upward circular
movements, starting at the base
of her throat, she molds this
thick nourishing cream on her
chin and neck. This simple
treatment keeps her skin soft
and radiant, preserving the
lovely chin to neck contour that
is so engaging.
Even though you may be
neither nightingale nor screen
star, it is vastly important that
you keep your chin and neck
young. One famous artist once
said: "By looking at a lady's
neck and hands I can almost
exactly judge her age" But he
lived before youth-preserving cos
metics became available to all
women.
I can bet my boots that he
would be fooled many a time if
he lived today, for women now
have learned to cream and
treat their necks, and how to
keep their hands soft and grace
full.
A cream such as the one
Grace Moore favors keeps the
throat filled out and free of
wrinkles, while the skin texture
remains youthful. Many women
use the same cream for their
hands; and for terribly dry
facial skin, which chaps easily
in winter weather. it is found
to be an admirable nourishing
cream. A jar of it standing on
your dressing table or on your
bathroom shelf will make you
contour conscious, and you'll
remember to use it!

II a girl wore boys engage
ment ring, she knew not only
that he loved her, but that he
wouldn't look at another girl
until they were married. If he
did, he would be generally dis.
approved of, and the girl would
be advised to release him.
Better or Worse?
But the 1885 type of engage
ment? Does it merely mean, I
wonder, that a man and a girl
have at one time been attracted
to each other and that they will
probably marry if, in the mean
time, neither of them falls in
love with somebody else? And
is this a change for the better
or the worse?
What do you think?
"Fettered," a youth of 20,
engaged to a girl of 18, writes
me that he feels he doesn't have
enough freedom-or rather that
the freedom he enjoys isn't
voluntarily granted to him. He
explains:
"My fiancee lives in our
home town. My job is here in
the city. l gave her a hand
some ring, take her out lot
when / go home and we'll get
married some day when 1 can
afford it. But do you think that
meanwhile she ought to ask me
to shut myself up in a cell and
see nobody?
GIRL OBJECTS
"I have a sOciable disposition
and there are several very
Snappy girls here that I like
to go around with. The girl
to whom I am engaged heard
about this in some way and
wrote me a terrible letter to
say that she could not stand it.
Don't you love me any more?
she asks.
''NOw what shall do with a
girl who acts like that? Doesn't
The Washington times., 1935-01-28

she deserve to have me call the
whole thing Off?"
Probably the old-fashioned
engagement was too iron-clad.
It is no doubt unnatural and
foolish to expect both partners
to an engagement to go out
with no one else, dance with no
one else but the betrothed, es-
pecially if the two are living in
different towns.
The former customs were, I
think, prudist and exaggerated.
And what a poor thing love
would be if one couldn't trust
ones lover or beloved ever to
see anybody else! In other
words, I am for a reasonable
freedom.
Love Needed
At the same time, an engage.
ment that is too airy and casual
can amount to just about as
much as no engagement at all
There can be no happiness in
being engaged if ones fiancc
takes the tone that "Fettered"
takes.
1t isn't merely that he wishes
to be free to see all the girls
he likes, it is that he isn't seri-
ously in love with the girl who
wears his ring. That being the
case, I hope she will return the
ring before he commits the
ungraceful action of breaking
off the engagement himself, be-
cause fidelity bores him.
Genuine love, the divine thing
that can never go out of fash
ion, however much the customs
of lovers themselves may
change, is. of course, the only
thing that makes an engage.
ment really valid.
I wish that every girl whose
hand sparkles with an engage
ment ring could understand
exactly what I mean.

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
