ties Body.

Striking at the proposal of the Cap
ttal Transit Co. for fare increases, the
Sixteenth Street Citizens Association
has filed q protest with the Public Util-
tiles Commission citing five reasons
why the request should not be granted.
Instead Of increased fares the Capital
Transit Co., through its recent acquisi-
ton of the Washington Rapid Transit
Co., should now be able to furnish ad-
ditional service at less cost to the pub
lie, it was stated in the letter, signed by
Arthur E. Cook, president, to the Public
Utilities Commission.
Rer0utings Incomplete.
Reroutings called for in the merger
Of the two companies have not been
completed, it is asserted, hence there is
no way of telling at this time what the
cost Of operation, as compared to reve-
nue., will be. 1t is the opinion of that
body the gross operating revenue of the
company will be greatly increased by
persons now using other means Of
transportation.
Comparisons made in hearings be-
fore the commission relative to the
difference in costs paid by cash pa
irons and users of the 81 passes
which the company wants to drop
have been without sufficient knowledge
on the part Of Capital Transit officials
the letter asserts.
Prospect of Loss.
If the ST passes are discontinued the
company will lose revenues by persons
now riding for short distances only,
since these persons would walk rather
than pay the single fare demanded,
the letter says.
A close check should be made to
avoid unnecessary expenditures, such
as additional overhead and unneces-
sarily high salaries before granting
any increase In fares the association
holds.

CPEAKING on the question of
trial marriages, well known
writer said, "There should be no
need for trial when two people
know their own abilities and have
measured themselves accurately.
Two people who understand them
selves will never, / believe, have
any difficulty living happily to-
gether after marriage"
That is new slant on the ques-
ton of success in marriage, sup
plements a woman writer of ma
tional fame. Not 'Know thy hus-
band" or "wife," but ''know
thyselfl"
And, come to think of it, isn't
most of the discomfort and dissat-
isfaction in marriage traceable to
ideas of ourselves-that may be
misconceptions, no less than our
illusions about the other person?
How many women's dissatisfac-
ton with their husband has as its
source the thought of all they gave
up to marry him, all they might
have had" if they had married a
certain other man?
How many women's discomfort
with the role of wife and mother
springs from the thought of how
much more fascinating pastimes
they might have had if they had
followed that career?
How many girls impossible ex-
pectations of a fulltime lover and
Prince Charming originates in an
exaggerated notion of their own
devastating beauty and charm?

Wives, Know Yourselves
Accurate Analysis Will Do Much to
Overcome Difficulty in Welded Life

If all disconnected wives would
look deeply unto themselves,
measure themselves, stop fooling
themselves, many might discover
that the other man they might
have married is a self-nurtured
illusion; that the career of their
dreams is not a soft snap and a
Joy forever; but grueling, ex-
hausting job which might have
worn them out if they had quail
fed for it, which they probably
would have been unable to do;
that they themselves are neither
devastating beauties nor always
charming, but women who are
frequently disappointing and diff
cult to live with. They might dis
cover and admit to themselves
that they are greatly in debt to
their husbands for many things
that make life easier and better
and more northumberland they
would not get along so well with
out them.
Then they might think more of
doing their part of trying to make
those husbands happy. And that
effort on the part of one must in
evitably go long way toward a
mutually happy and successful
marriage.
