COLORED

You want to know what it's like,
being colored?
Well,
It's like going to bat
With two strikes
Already called on you
It's like playing pool
With your name
Written on the eight ball
Did you ever say,
"Thank you, SIR
For an umbrella full of holes?
Did you ever dream
You had a million bucks,
And wake up with nothing to
pawn?
You want to know what it's like
being colored?
Well,
The only way to know
Is to be born that way.

Metropolis View Unit Plans
Drive for School Facilities
N eU Federation Bod,
Suggests Site for
Structure.

Better school facilities in its terri
tory Is the immediate objective OF the
newly formed Metropolis View Citi-
zens' Association, President George E.
Miller announced yesterday.
The association, which was sched-
uled for admittance to the Federation
Of Citizens Associations at Its meet
ing last night, has suggested to Dis
trict ofnciak that q new school for
the area should be constructed at
Fourth and Franklin streets NE.
In the words Of Mr.. Miller:
1T seems . pity that, in an area
30 large as this, having 20 many chill
dren Of elementary school age. school
facilities are so poor. The entire Sec
tor has been sadly neglected In COM
parison with other new communities. {"
1t has been estimated that there
are 1000 children in the Metropolis
View section that have to 60 outside
to attend school. Mr.. Miller said that
Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle, president
Of the School Board, had promised to
review conditions In the territory in
the near future.
Delegates to the federation from
Metropolis View are Norman c. Phil
lips and B. w. Bolinger, and Mr.. Mil
Ter and Mr.. Bolinger will represent
the association at the Northeast Con-
ference.

sociation at the meeting last week in

Women's Hats Growing
Into q Real Civic Problem.

WHILE no civic organization has
been noticed to take action
on the subject, there Is good deal
OF grumbling going on over the
way this seasons hats of the ladies
obstruct the view in theaters. This
was referred to as growing into a
civic problem; as matter of fact,
it has already reached that stage,
but the hats are still growing and
showing a tendency to completely
obscure both stage and screen.
Betsy Caswell on her Woman's
Page in The Star last month
tackled this problem and remarked
that-"The era of Will madame be
so kind as to remove her hat?'
is about to dawn again in our
theaters and similar amusement
places" The fair sex became
thoroughly educated to remove the
hats few years back. Then came
the tight-fitting small hats which
compressed the hair and really re-
duced obstruction Of the view more
than II the lady were hatless.
That is all over now and while
some in the civic organizations,
especially the men, hesitate to COM
ment on the prevailing odd shapes
and style Of the hats, they claim
they are growing desperate at the
nuisance Of trying to see the show
in their neighborhood theater over,
around or through the ambitious
headgear of the lovely lady in the
next row. One old timer, much out
OF patience, remarked that with all
Of the mannish habits which the
women have appropriated since
their emancipation, he can't see
why they don't take OF their hats
in theaters. He also expressed the
opinion that as the Motion Picture
Owners Association have shown
considerable interest in civic affairs,
they ought to do something about
1t. This Is not just q mans move
ment, for the women are having as
much difficulty in trying to see 4
show as any OF the men.

Civic Problems, Civic Bodies
Car Fare Order Obscures Other Developments.
Personal Responsibility and the Chest.
Women's Hats DRAW Criticism.

Of SIS Of / cent on each token ride
but the rider has new free transfer
privileges. To the bus riders on the
lines where . straight i0-cent fare
has been required, except those
riding on $l.25 passes, there Is 4
reduction In the cost Of each ride
Of l2s cents each.
Reduced to q weekly basis OF six
round trips per week token riders
will now pay 81 per week In
stead Of 90 cents as formerly. The
cash fare riders on the former 10
cent fare buses will now be able to
Use tokens at q cost Of 81 instead
OF the $l.20 they have been paying.
These riders have heretofore en-
joyed the free universal transfer
privilege. From this 1t can be seen
that one group Of riders, said to be
about third, will pay 10 cents a
week more and another group. the
proportion not given, will enjoy 4
reduction Of 20 cents per week. A
striking feature OF this revision Of
rates that 1t establishes uniform
token and cash fare rates on all
lines except the three scent loop
lines and that to Hains Point.
There appears to be q marked
difference in the civic ranks re-
garding many Of the problems Incl
dent to the mass transportation
service and rates. Several have
shown decided tendency to CO.
operate with the company and have
shown more sympathy in that di-
rection than in the past. However,
In most of the organizations there
is q spirit Of opposition and feeling
that both company and the COM
mission are failing to measure UP to
community requirements.
Those who remember the hear.
ings in the Capital Transit valua-
ton and rate case recall that the
representatives Of the company
and the experts Of the commission
put up a strong case while the case
OF the civic groups was deficient In
pertinent evidence and sadly lack
ing IN coordination. A number
OF the civic bodies consider that
the absence of a competent peoples
counsel left them without plan or
coordination Of effort. As an i'm
mediate outcome Of this surprise
decision Of the Public Utilities
Commission there promises to be a
renewal Of the demand for the
filling Of the vacant position Of
peoples counsel.
The present. so-called. inde-
pendent Public Utilities Commits
sion originated with the Fedora
ton OF Citizens Associations and
there was included as an integral
part OF that proposal provision of
q qualified lawyer who would ap.
pear before the commission as the
counsel for the people. They still
regard such ONCE as a very neces-
sary adjunct, the opinion OF the
District Commissioners and the
Utilities Commission to the con.
trary Notwithstanding.
Some Of those who have calmly
considered the commissions new
rate order regard 1t Is one which
will be upheld by the courts be-
cause OF the rate Of return being
below what the court has decided
to be fair. The evidence presented
at the hearings and checked by the
commission and its experts, it Is
contended, assure such court ap.
proval If the case should be ap-
pealed.
