Hearing on One Man Cars
Scheduled for July Is.

THE Public Utilities Commission
has announced a hearing for
July Is on the request Of the
Capital Transit Co. to authorize an
increase in the number Of one
man cars. This is expected to be
contested vigorously by Peoples
Counsel William A. Roberts and
representatives of the civic organi-
cations. Doubtless other incidental
questions will be brought out IL
the hearing.
The Federation of Citizens As
sociations and a number Of its
constituent bodies are on record
as not only opposing the increase
Of the one-man operation, but
favoring two-man operation for all
cars and buses.
E. D. Merrill. vice president and
general manager OF the Capital
Transit Co, has afforded a number
OF citizens an opportunity to try
out one Of the reconditioned one
man cars purchased from Provi-
dence, r. I. A number of very
favorable comments have been
made as TO the equipment of this
car, but there appears to be a
division of opinion as to whether
its operation should be one or
two men.

A System of State Aid
To Unrepresented District.

COMMISSIONER GEORGE E.
ALLEN and his aides at Phila-
delphia made some progress among
delegates to the Democratic Ma
tional Convention in securing their
promises to represent our cause in
their home States. The Citizens
Joint Committee on National Rep
resentation for the District Of Co
lumbia has for years recognized the
value as well as the necessity of
forming sympathetic committees
throughout the United States which
would effectively distribute litera-
ture and other information regard
ing the Districts political plight
and its ambition for relief and in
terest the folks back home" to
use their influence with their Sen
ators and Representatives.
Some little has been accomplish
ed in spots at different times along
this line, out the committee has
never had the funds nor the IA
cilities for extending this important
branch Of work so as to cover any
appreciable extent of territory. But
it is hoped by our leaders that
these commitments to Commission
er Allen will form the nucleus Of a
series of committees in the several
States, which will eventually cover
the entire Union.
A lesson Of practical value is to
be learned from the founding faith
ers of our Republic who formed
COMMITTEES of Correspondence" in
the various communities of the COL
onies. 1t was through these COM
mittees that contacts were main
tained, important information dis
tributed and practical aid planned
and rendered. These committees
played great part in the founding
of the United States Of America.

Associated Country Women
and Kiwanis Help Boost
Total to 1906.

More people attended conventions
In Washington in June than during
any other month this year, according
to Curtis Hodges, director OF the
Greater National Capital Committee
of the Washington Board OF Trade.
Registration records for the 10 con-
ventions here last month show total
attendance of 1906 delegates, as
against the 1f,797 delegates who at
tended the 30 conventions in April,
the second largest month of the year
from the standpoint Of number OF
delegates.
The Associated Country Women OF
the World, with 5,926 persons regis
tered from all sections of the world,
and the Kiwanis International, with
1850 delegates attending, we're re-
sponsible chiefly for the great num-
Der of convention visitors. Each OF
these sessions far exceeded their ex-
pected attendance, Hodges said.
A monthly report for the year on
the number of conventions and their
respective total attendances follows:
v,
s,2T2; February, IL conventions, at
tendance 3,6O7; March. also IL, at
tendance $3.50; April, 90 conventions,
attendance 1l,797; May, l8 conven-
tions, attendance 3,743, and June,
with 10 conventions and a l2,036 at
tendance.
The Greater National Capital Com
mittee provided complete service, such
as registration, attendance building
letters and advance publicity, to 35
of these conventions. Partial service
was afforded 70 others.
Hodges has announced the Sched-
uling of four more conventions for
Washington in 1887 They are: Met

Revolution, April 1922, and Federal

d. C. Literature Distributed.

The interest throughout the world
in the National Capital is evidenced
by the number Of inquiries received
and pieces of literature sent out by
the Greater National Capital Com
mittee during JuEe.
More than $4,000 pieces Of literature
were distributed during the month,
$4,000 pieces going to members of the
Second Division Association, A. E. F.,
scheduled to meet in Washington
April 1913. Most of the remaining
$4,000 pieces were distributed to travel
and tourist agencies throughout the
globe, according to Miss Margaret
Clore, information clerk.
Among the foreign countries which
received booklets, guides and articles
on Washington we're Rumania, Eng
