were hoSpitallzed in the children's
building because of temporary short
age of personnel and facilities in the
adult building.
DR.. Finucane explained that the
adults suffering from pulmonary. in
fectious tuberculosis were segregated
in wards apart from the children, but
admitted that Il cannot say it is 100
per cent perfect segregation or that
there is no possibility of danger to the
children" He emphasized, however,
that so far there has been no cross
infection and that the danger OF such
is considered very slight.
Difficulty in Segregation.
Practical difficulties in segregating
the infectious cases from the child pa
tients in whom the disease has not
reached an advanced stage were en-
phasized by one authority who did not
wish his name to enter the controversy.
1t was pointed out that it is not
always possible to maintain perfect
control over large groups of children
and prevent them from walking
through swinging doors into the iso-
lated wards. There also may be petty
annoyances to the adults from early
rising children, and to the children
from lights burning late at night in
adult wards. it was said.
Without the additional problem Of
caring for adults in the same build
ing, the hospital must arrange for seq
regation of male, female, white and
colored children, as well as the early
and advanced cases of the disease
among these four divisions One Of
ficial said that finding additional space
for segregating the various divisions Of
adult cases made the situation worse
than a jig-saW puzzle.
Commissioner Aliens order for the
inquiry yesterday was an outgrowth
of the controversy over DR.. Ruhland'S s
order for removal of Mother Goose mu-
rails from the reception room of the
children's building at Glenn Dale.
There had been suggestions that one
reason for removing the murals was
that they might not be suitable for a
building in which adults as we'll as
children were hospitalized. Commits
sioner Allen has held up the removal
pending decision on merit of the mu-
rails by jury of art critics.

Warlike Toys

The little toy soldier may have been
exiled from New York department

Informed that Fifth avenue store
had barred war-like toys from its
Christmas counters, Arthur Call, sec
retary and editor for the American
Peace Society, said today that such
action is ridiculous"

BROKERS' LICENSES
STILL UN|SSUED
District Real Estate Com
mission Unable to Com.
pIete Work at Dead|ine.

Members Of the District Real Estate
License Commission admitted today
they had been unable to license Wash
ington's real estate brokers and sales
men prior to last midnight, as required
by the act providing for licensing and
regulation of realty dealers.
Fred D. Allen, District assessor, who
is chairman of the commission. said
the inability to issue the licenses was
due partly to delay of the dealers in
filing their applications and bonds and
partly to administrative difficulties in
deciding many questions of legal rul-
ing.
He announced 1t would be ruled
that all persons VINO had filed their
applications for license prior to today
had made substantial compliance with
the act. He added that consequently
the District would not undertake to
prosecute them. He said he hoped all
of the licenses applied for would be
issued within three or four weeks.
John A. Petty, commission secretary,
said he had in hand some 800 or more
applications. An exact count has not
been made, since large real estate
offices in the past few days have been
filing applications by blocs. The ques-
ton of whether real estate brokers
and statesmen who have not yet applied
for licenses would be prosecuted was
not answered, but Mr.. Allen indicated
that probably these persons would not
be faced with prosecution unless they
wilfully refused to comply.
However, Mr.. Allen added, the Dis
trict will proceed with prosecutions
just as soon as the commissions staff
has reached the point where it is able
to issue the licenses to all qualified
applicants.

mo. 10 OF a Series.j
By JAMES E. CHINN.

When the Public Utilities Commits
sion increased token fares to six for
so cents, it put both the Capital Transit
Co. and the North American Co. Of
New York on the so-called spot"
In other words, the Commission
rather bluntly told the two concerns it
expected them to get busy and replace
all old street cars now in service with
new and modern rolling stock
There was no specific demand in
the fare order that this be done.
The Commission, however, did declare
there could be no further excuse for
not replacing obsolete equipment, and
placed the burden of providing the
necessary funds on the North Ameri-
can Co.
The North American Co. is a gigan-
tic public utilities holding concern.
The operating companies it controls
cover nearly every utility field and are
scattered from the Atlantic to the
Pacific.
Holds Stock Control.
Latest Commission records show the
North American owns slightly more
than so per cent of the 100000 shares
of the common stock Of the transit
company-just enough to give it con-
troll. 1t also controls the Potomac
Electric Power Co., q veritable gold
mine" for the owners.
The North American, however, has
received in dividends from the transit
company since the merger about $780,
900, or 81 on every share of the stock
it holds. But from Potomac Electric
Power Co. earnings it has collected
in the same period more than s1O,-
100000.
Last year the company, in order to
purchase II buses and As street
cars, having substantially depleted its
ready cash resources. was able to
procure from District banks, under
an equipment trust in modified form,
$1,507,00 The Commission re-
garded this as highly desirable in
that it strengthened local interest in
the company and provided better
equipment with which to serve the
public.
But now the Commission feels the
North American should come to the
aid of the company, and said so in
the fare-increase order in the following
language:

posal to boost rates. Among those

ment on the plan until the bill au-
thorizing it's adoption is introduced.

Experts Rap disqualification
Of Children, adults Together
President of National tuberculosis As.
sociation Says Unit Al,cdys Aduised
Separation of fNOn-InfectiOus Cases.

The Health Departments new pol
icy of hospitalizing adults suffering
| from pulmonary tuberculosis in the
same building with child patients at
the Glenn Dale tuberculosis Sanato-
rum was condemned by medical ex-
perts today.
DR.. j. A. Myers, president of the Ma
tional tuberculosis Association, said
the association always advised that
! children afflicted with non-infectious
or childhood tuberculosis be hospital
lied in buildings entirely separate
from adult cases.
ut is the same principle We follow
in always trying to get the advanced
pulmonary cases out Of the home and
isolated in hospitals so that children
in their families may not run the risk
of infection through daily contact" DR..
Myers said. He came here from Min
neapolis for annual meeting of the
District tuberculosis Association last
night.
Local physicians specializing in
treatment of tuberculosis expressed
opposition to quartering adult and
child patients in the same building
on several grounds, pointing out that it
would be almost impossible to prevent
accidental contacts between the chill
dren and the adult cases despite at
tempts to segregate them in diff
ferent wards.
Allen Ordered Inquiry.
The comments followed an order by
Commissioner George E. Allen for an
inquiry into the merits and legality
of the new policy, announced by
Health Officer George c. Rutland
when the new building for adults at
Glenn Dale was opened on Septem-
ber 15
DR.. Rutland said then that the chill
dren's and adults buildings would be
operated as one hospital, with neither
building restricted to either class of
patients, in order to make the best
use of the sanatorium facilities.
DR.. Daniel L. Finucane, superin-
tendent of the Glenn Dale institution,
said as yet no children had been
housed in the adult building, but that
80 or 40 persons over l6 years old now

Holding Company Is Target
Of Call for Transit Equipment
Strong Hint Giuen North american Co.
to PloU Back for Improved Service
Some of Money Reaped From Pepco.

THE Commission is cognizant Of the
fact that in the normal conduct of its
financial affairs. company is depend
ent upon its ability to satisfy those
from whom it must obtain funds. The
obtaining of money is, in certain
instances. materially aided by reason
of the personnel holding stock.
Control of the Capital Transit Co.
is vested in one of the largest holding
companies in the country, which also
control the Potomac Electric Power
Co., the latter supplying all power used
by the transit company. If the funds
which may be obtained from local
banking institutions are limited. there
seems little reason, particularly in view
of the financial condition of the COM
pany controlling the stock of the tram
sit company and the ability of that
organization to obtain adequate Sc
curity for any sum which might be
invested in new street cars or new
buses. why sufficient funds should not
be made available to satisfy the street
car requirements. If, as contended by
the company, its revenues will be in
creased by change in the token rate,
and in the substantial amount esti-
mated, further justification exists for
the course set out herein.
Finances Provide Excuse.
mo contention has been made that
the company's interest and the in
terest Of the public would not be ma
terially aided by replacement of cer-
tain of the old rolling stock with new
The sole opposition to the request that
old equipment be replaced has been
the financial condition of the transit
company.
With the corporate set-up in con-
troll of the Capital Transit Co., with
the ability OF the controlling company
adequately to protect itself under the
most adverse circumstances, plus the
outlet which the local operation af-
fords of power of another operating
company, and the increase in token
fare, with the estimated increase in
revenues of the operating company,
there seems little to be said in defense
of the failure of the operating COM
pany to request, and the controlling
company to make available funds with
which to bring about the replacement
of all old street cars in the interest of
the operating company and the riding
public"

The Status OF Punitive
Retail Taxes

The current status of discrimina.
tory chain store taxation is graphi-
cally revealed in a survey prepared
by the Institute of Distribution.
AS of September 9, dozen states
had such laws in effect and opera
tion. Two other states had laws
which are now in the courts. And
in a number of states, laws are be-
ing advocated.
While the various state laws vary
greatly in detail, they are all pred
icated upon the same principle
that there is an inherent wickedness
and danger in size. Thus, In Idaho,
a single store under retroactive IL
cense tax pays but s5.00-while a
chain with 20 stores must pay $500
per year for each. In Pennsylvania,
the tax on the first store is s1.00-
and rises to $500 for each store ov-
er 500.
Chain systems almost invariably
started from one small store, owned
by a merchant with energy and pro-
gressive ideas. They grew large for
but one reason-hecause they gave
good service that jhe consuming
public liked. No business can exist,
much less grow large and success
full. without public patronage. and
Thus, when we attempt to limit
the size of chains or destroy them
by law, we deprive the consumer of
economic benefits. We attempt to
prevent him from patronizing retail
agencies to whom he looks for good |

Luxe Ford V-8. They are different in ap-
pearance - but built to the same high
standard of mechanical excellence - on
the same chassis.
Because people liked our 1887 car SO
we'll, they bought more than of any other
make. They liked its looks, its smooth
performance, and the way it handled. We
have improved on that car in the newly
styled Standard Ford V-8.
But some folks wanted still more size
and style, with the same Ford advantages.
For them, we designed new De Luxe line.

De Luxe cars are equipped with the 85-
horsepower engine only.
The Standard is even lower priced than
the De Luxe. 1t has graceful new lines
and well-tailored interiors-with choice
of engine sizes-85 or 90 horsepower.
Before Ford made V-type 8-cylinder en-
gines available to every one, they we're
used only in expensive cars. Since then,
four million Ford owners have learned
the genuine endowment of driving an eight.
cylinder car with all-around economy.
The thrifty ''60'' engine, especially, makes
possible in Standard models very low
first cost and equally low operating cost.
With two distinct designs, two engine
sizes and two price ranges, you'll find a
1888 Ford car to fit your needs exactly.
