inducement for Oklahoma City to try
them out, the city was given a price
Of $23 each. The prices quoted now
are more than double that amount.
The meters were received so well
that the city twice has added to the
original 200 and now 529 are in oper-
alton.
Oklahoma City motorists took to
the meters willingly and they made
money from the start. Now the in
come averages 1872 cents per day per
meter. The $4,000 already collected
has been used to pay for the meters
and the surplus has gone into the
city's general fund.
The income anticipated for the year
will result in 6 Of mill reduction in
the tax rate, officials have estimated.
There was one suit against the
meters, testing the city's right to
charge for use of the streets, but it
has never been appealed from District
| Court, which ruled it was a privilege
! and not a right to park on city
streets, and that a fee could be
| charged.
Merchants whose stores adjoin
areas in which there are meters have
asked that meters be placed in front
of their stores. Prospective customers
able to find parking places in the
one-hour meter zones have favored
stores in those areas, they said.
Patrolmen check the parking meters

hang tags on the cars left overtime.

When Gilbert decided the only way
he could earn money was by dancing
he went to Richard Bennett, an old
friend. Mr.. Bennett figuratively
reached up his sleeve, pulled out Dor
othy Young, the attractive debutante,
who then was a student at Beaver
College, and who had her heart set on
a dancing career, despite the usual
parental objections.
Bennett decided Gilbert and Doro-
thy were to be his own especial pro-
teges and they opened their first dane
ing engagement just three years ago
at New York's Hollywood Restaurant.
They have been working steadily ever
since and have just returned from

PUBLIC To VIEW
OLD BLAIR HOME.
April Fl and 22 Announced
for Opening of His
toric Place.

One Of Washington's historic resi-
dences, the Blair mansion on Penn
sylvania avenue, opposite the White
House, which has been closely asso-
ciated with many momentous events
in the Nations history, will be open
to the public April 81 and % for the
first time.
The opening has been arranged by
the District Committee of the Robert
E. Lee Memorial Foundation as a
benefit for Stratford Hall, birthplace
of Gen. Lee in Westmoreland County,
Va. Mrs. Cazenove Lee is district
chairman of the foundation and Mrs.
Louis S. Greene Is chairman of the
Opening Committee.
The home was built In 1924 by DR..
James Lowell, who received his ap-
pointment as surgeon general OF the
Army under President Madison. It
was purchased II years later by Fran
els Preston Blair, the editor of the
Globe. a daily newspaper considered
the mouthpiece Of President Jackson.
Blair was q member of President jack
sons Kitchen cabinet"
During the past century the house
has been the home of three genera
tions Of the Blair family, as it has
since been occupied by Francis Pres
ton Blair's son, Montgomery Blair,
and is now occupied by his grand
son. Maj. Gist Blair, and his wife.
For brief periods, however, it has
also been the home of many OF the
Nations notables, including George
Bancroft. Secretary of the Navy under
President Polk and founder OF the
United States Naval Academy; Thomas
Ewing, Senator from Ohio and first
Secretary of the Interior under Presl-
dent Taylor, and others.
In the spacious downstairs parlors
was held the wedding of Gen.
Sherman, Senator Ewing's foster son,
to his daughter. In the office on the
second floor Francis Preston Blair and
other supporters and advisors of "Old
Hickory" frequently met, and IN the
same room his son, Montgomery Blair,

ORDER SETSL|M|T
FOR STANDEES ON
BUSES IN CAPITAL
Maximum Load Depends on
Size and Type of
Vehicles.
RESULT OF LONG STUDY
BY UTILITIES COMMISSION
Number of Standing Passengers
to Conform With Safety
and Comfort.

Orders were issued by the Public
Utilities Commission today fixing the
maximum loads that may be carried
by the bus lines, with the number of
standing passengers limited from 5
to 80, depending upon the size and
type Of the buses.
The order, delayed for several days,
is the result of study on the part Of
the utilities commissioners, their en-
gineering staff, Peoples Counsel Viii.
liam A. Roberts and representatives
Of the companies.
The order was specifically directed
to the Capital Transit Co., but Chair
man Riley E Elgen said it will be for
warded to all bus line operators and
enforced on all intra-city and subur-
ban vehicles. The Capital Transit
Co. was singled out because the origi-
nal objections to overcrowding were
made against that company at public
hearings held last December.
| Larger Than Limit Sought.
The maximum loads permitted are
larger than the limits sought by the
Federation of Citizens Associations.
Through William NICK Clayton,
chairman of the Federation's Public
Utilities Committee, limit of five
standing passengers was sought. The
commission overruled the proposal,
however, because Of the wide variety
of sizes and types of buses in use.
The regulation was adopted" the
commission order said, 'as the result
Of complaints made at public hearings
and otherwise and after investigation
by commission representatives. The
primary reason, therefore, is the safety
of passengers, operators and the pub
lie, but the convenience and comfort
Of passengers have been given due
weight"
The number of standing passengers,
Elgen said, was fixed by study of
each individual bus, and was deter
mined so that every rider who cannot
get seat will have handhold either
on the backs of the seats. on over
head bars or upright rods provided
for that purpose.
The seating capacities and the
maximum loads permitted range as
follows:
Seats II, maximum load %; seats
20, load 80 to "a; seats 81. load 80 to
81: seats %, load 81; seats 20, load
43: seats 80, load Al to 4e: seats 80,
load 81; seats IS, load 81; seats 36,
load so; seats 81, load 81; seats 40,
load 81; seats Al, load IS; seats a,
load "a.
No De Luxe Standees.
Parlor and de luxe coaches have
their maximum loads fixed at the
number of seats. These buses are
used on higher-fare lines On which
passengers are guaranteed seats.
All coaches, beginning May l, will
be required to display a placard at
their entrances giving the number Of
seats and the total maximum loads
permitted.
One of the chief delays in issuing
the order was the problem of its en-
forcement James G. Yaden. former
president of the Federation of Citi-
zens' Associations, raised the question
of how the driver will be able to keep
of persistent passengers.
Elgen and Richmond B. Keech. vice
chairman of the commission. agreed
that the problem will be difficult, es-
pecially in rainy weather.
