CARDOz0COMPA ANY
WINS CADET DRILL.
Capt. Tracy's A Unit Again
Takes Award Among
CoIored Groups.

For the second consecutive year,
Company A, Cardoza High School,
Yesterday won first place as the best
drilled cadet company in the coloreo
high schools. The company was COM
manded By Capt. Wendell Tracy. who
was awarded the Teachers Diamond
Medal
Second place was taken by Com
pany 3, Armstrong High School, COM
manded by Capt. Robert Field, ana
third went to Company B OF Cardozo,
commanded by Capt. Charles VIM
ston.
The competition followed by one
day the annual review of the white
cadet corps All the competition,
however. was confined to single day
at Griffith Stadium, the first COM
pany marching on the field at 9 am.
and the closing event coming after
$50 pm.
The corps, composed of 800 colored
boys, was reviewed by members of the
Board of Education, headed by Mrs.
Marion Wade Doyle, president; DR.. j.
Hayden Johnson and John H. Wilson,
the latter two colored members of
the board. Other officials who re-
viewed the parade included DR.. Gar
nett c. Wilkinson, first assistant SUI
perintendent of schools; A. K. Savoy,
Dr. Howard H. Long, DR.. Ambrose
Caliver of the United States Office of
Education and Judge Almond w.
Scott of Municipal Court.
Wilson, who pinned the medal on
Capt. Tracy's tunic, was captain of
the winning company in 1905, when
he was a student at Armstrong High
School.
The crowd was estimated at close
to 10000, most of them, of course,
students at the three colored senior
high schools, Cardozo, Armstrong and
Dunbar.
The colored cadet corps, not quite
so old as the white organization, has
been holding its annual competition

reply to this, the commission said:
within the last few years the in
dustry has taken affirmative action
toward undermining and improving the
street car. with encouraging results.
It is nothing short of suicidal to
await the arrival of the perfect car.
The retirement of antiquated, under
powered, uncomfortable and slow
moving cars now owned by the COM
pany is important"
20 New Cars in Operation.
The company recently purchased
20 new cars and put them in service
on Pennsylvania avenue, where they
have been well received by the riding
public.
In many cities the one-man car
has been put in operation, but its
extensive use here has been opposed
by the commission and a portion of
the riding public. Recently, the COM
pany contracted for the purchase OF
80 reconditioned one-man cars, but
only one has been put in service
This one was brought in as an exper-
iment and the company officials say
it has worked well.
Many persons believe opposition to
the one-man cars would not be SO
strong if the company had purchased
new ones when they first put this
type of equipment in service. Accord
ing to one local official, they brought
in a lot of one-man cars from the
graveyard" with the result that the
riding public has become strongly
preludiced against them II has beer

buses are operated by one man anc
that from safety standpoint, there
seems to be no reason why one-man
street cars would not be as satisfac-
tory as the buses.
Cut Back Of Buses Successful.
Cutting back by buses has been
stressed by the commission as one
means of improving the spacing OF
these vehicles. This has been tried
with considerable success on Connecti-
cut avenue. where empty buses going
up the avenue have been cut back in
at such heavy loading points as Ca
thedral avenue. Porter and Van Ness
streets and Nebraska avenue. enabling
buses already filled or nearly filled to
continue their downtown trip without
stopping to pick up additional pas
sengers at these points,
THE purpose of the cut back,
Commissioner Keech said. lis to per-
NIT the empty buses during the rush
hours to filter into the downtown line
where they are most needed. This
saves on operating time and is bene-
fetal to passengers in that it spares
them from waiting until other buses
can make the trip down from the
circle"
Keech said cutting back has been
an important factor in improving

the service could be improved through
out the city by perfecting this prac-
tice on all lines.
The commission believes that the
public's conception of good transpor-
tation. services can be classified as:
Cd A fast trip; 90 comfortable
equipment, and 90 a reasonable fare.
AS one instance of improving serv-
ice, Chairman Elgen cited the de-
crease in the number of complaints
being filed with the commission.
THE riding public" he said. "does
not complain unless it is dissatisfied
with the service. The number Of
complaints received by us has been de-
creasing steadily. They dropped by
about Is per cent last month. That
Is the best evidence that the public

HE GOT OUT

It turns out that Representative
Zioncheck had made some people
conscious of Congressional tags on
automobiles.
Friends of Leslie Biffle, secre-
tary to the majority in the Sen
ate, and George Neville, former
secretary to Senator Stephens, tell
this story on the two.
They were on their way out to
the Congressional Country Club
when a group of men and boys
noticed the Congressional tags as
they swept by. One man hollered:
yeah, ZiOncheck."
They stopped the car, backed
up and George is said to have
pointed his finger at the man and
shouted:
81 want you. Get in the car"
The man did and they started
off toward the police station out
Wisconsin Avenue. A flood of pro-
test came from the mans lips. He
allowed as how he didn't mean no
harm. That he liked Mrs. Zion
check. That he was the father of
six children and was expecting.
He talked and talked and talked.
In fact, he talked faster than
Floyd Gibbons. AS they arrived
within a block of the police sta
ticn. they stopped the car.

AN APT NAME
There seems to me to be some
reasSuring frankness in this new
novel prospectus. Mayflower Asso-
citation, Inc, is an apt name. The
Pilgrims certainly took some stiff
chances, and there isn't one of
their descendants who has dime
today that didn't take a chance.
On the roulette board of finance
and capitalism of the last few
centuries there have always been
the zero and the double zero of
war and initiation, in addition to
old established hazards running
from grasshoppers to an act of
God. Nobody has ever been able
to figure the house percentage.
Probably, in all business, specu,
lation and enterprise, it is greater
than in roulette, keno, KlonGyke
or faro.
One may take a look at all this
without appearing to d f n d
gambling. 1t is merely a recog-
milton of the element of chance
in human survival, pertinent just
now with our new concern for
social security.
When the modern era of spec
ulation opened up, notably with
the Holland bulb ventures, mil
lions of cautious and canny peo-
pie took to it like a duck to
water. Most of them were flat
