Utilities Commission
Alters Taxicab RuIino

The Public Utilities Commission
today reseinded a portion of its
order Of last June which placed a
maximum of 1000 and a minimum
Of 100 on the number of members of
a taxicab association which could be
approved by the commission.
The commission today also rescind-
ed its action of February 27 with
drawing recognition of the Town
Cab Association, Inc. At that time
the commission moved to abolish
the Town Cab Association on the
ground that it did not have the
necessary 100 minimum membership
At recent hearing on reconsidera-
ton of the order. the association
claimed that within the time limit
it did have the necessary number of
members.
The commission gave no official
reason for its action in revoking the
order pertaining to the maximum
and minimum figures on association
membership. 1t was adopted last
year when Congress provided for
cash deposits as an alternative to
compulsory taxicab liability insur-
ance. in the measure which became
effective last September.
Some fears had been voiced that
some of the larger associations, able
to post the deposit instead of using
the insurance plan. at the rate then
of IS a week, would have a distinct
advantage over other groups in the
taxicab field, unless the maximum
limitation figure was imposed.
Since that time, the commission
has received evidence of relation
ships between taxicab associations
and concerns handling liability in
surance. Furthermore. it was re-
called that recently the weekly rate
for compulsory insurance for taxis
was reduced to $3.75.

Wants Life Sentences
For Second Offenders

Representative c. Arthur Ander-
son of Missouri today introduced a
bill to provide punishment for con-
viction the second time for felony
in the District of Columbia by life
Imprisonment. Felony in this act
means a crime punishable by i'm
prisonment for a term longer than
one year
Representative Anderson, before
coming to Congress, was prosecuting
attorney for st. Louis County. He
SAID that since he has been in the
Capital he has been aroused by
stories of recurrent crime. AS Mis-
souri, has similar law, he thought
it would be advantageous for the
District to have such legislation.

Probe Poisoning
OF Police Food

The District Food Inspectors Of
flee today continued an investigation
of more than half dozen food
poisoning cases among officers at
police headquarters Monday night.
Two of the victims, all of whom
were members of the traffic division,
required hospital treatment and

alleged ptomaine poisoning" but

stances.

the victims ate the same kind of
sandwiches during the afternoon
and complained Of being i'll within
few hours after the food was
eaten

Glove Etiquette
In SoIuting Flag
Puzzles Women

The problem whether to take of
their gloves when saluting the flag
was puzzling lady patriots here
today.
The question arose in connection
with the exercises to be held at the
Arlington Memorial Amphitheater
Sunday, under the auspices of the
American War Mothers. Most of
the ladies participating will wear
gloves and Mrs. Irving Fairweather,
national president of the organiza-
ton, was called on to decide whether
it was unpatriotic for the par
ticipants to salute with covered
hands.
Mrs. Fairweather decided that the
ladies would have to take of the
gloves on their right hands. The
proper salute for the occasion, she
explained, will be to place the un-
gloved hand over the heart. The
saluter may hold her hat in this
hand.
On cold days. when there are
many fiags passing in a parade, she
SAID, the ladies may keep their
gloves on.

416 Added to u. S.
Pay Rolls in Capital

Federal employment continued to
move upward here in March, the
net addition of 416 persons to the
rolls bringing the total to 120,861.
The pay roll was $21 .535 1892, which
was more than $500, 900 over Feb
ruary, the increase in proportion to
the number of persons negaged being
due to the larger amount earned
by per diem workers.
In the field, 2,722 workers were
added, to make the total 757,818; the
pay roll was $112,914,844 an increase
of nearly $500, 900.
Seasonal expansion of work gen.
orally was responsible for the added
forces.

0ptometry Measure
Opposed by Head
OF Citizens Group
House Unit Also
Studying Another
Control PIon

Charging the Smith bill to regu-
late the practice of optometry in the
District would result in an increase
in the price of eyeglasses, Mrs. Leslie
B. Wright, president of the Forest
Hills Citizens Association, today ap-
pealed to the Public Health SUBJ
committee of the House District
Committee to delay action on the
measure.
ITS a bad bill," she said. you
ought to give us time to organize
to fight it."
Representative Smith, Democrat,
of Virginia, sponsor of the bill, told
the subcommittee he introduced it
January 4 and that there had been
ample time for thoroughrconsidera-
ton. ..s-r.,s -e-.s- s
The subcomrlittee also had under
consideration another measure to
regulate the practice of optometry
introduced by Representative Mich
OILS, Democrat, of Oklahoma. The
measures differ in a number of re-
spects.
The Smith bill, for instance, would
preclude so-called corporate prac-
tice" of optometry by denying de-
| partment stores the privilege of
selling eyeglasses. Both bills would
prevent advertising by optometrists.
DR.. Lewis H. Kraskin, chairman of
the District Optometry Board, in
dorsed the proposed legislation. He
said he felt the public is not prop
erly protected under existing law.
c. D. Kaufman of the Kay As
sociated Stores testified he believed
the Nichols bill provided better pro-
lection to the public than the Smith
bill and it is also more stringent as
to the qualifications of an optome-
trist. He declared that stores with
optical departments are meticulous
in the employment of optometrists.
These stores, he said, have much at
stake and can't afford to have a man
make botched examination"
Representative Bates, Democrat,
Of Kentucky, the subcommittee
chairman, plans to hold another
public hearing on the two bills next
week.

He slowly sat erect, got out clga-
rette and sat smoking it. regarding
her impassively in the deepening light.
There was no telling how he felt. He
finally said, Il don't get it, Doll"
Perhaps Jean didn't, either. And
now she didn't want scene, nor did
she want to bicker or cry or beg, or

voice casual. II wanted this part of it,
and you wanted what would come

mashed it out on his blue plate; then
he asked, What will you do?"

He got up, then paused to look again
at her searchingly. This is abrupt,
to say the least. | never figured for

you were just playing house

control broke and she cried. Let's
not talk about it. It's all over and
let's 60 our own ways and forget it.
I'm not stopping you, Mack, l want
you to have what you want
He shrugged. Just so know your
angle, Doll. It's okay by me-" He
went out the back way.
Jean sat there, CLASSY staring
across the breakfast nook in the
deepening light. Presently there came
the sound of tools humping on the
earth behind the house. He'd be
digging up that little tree. She was
glad he was going to have his fun.
she told herself. She was glad she'd
had these years here. Nothing could
take away what she'd had, and she
wasn't going to cry now. 1t had been
heaven, and not everybody could
have heaven for just little while.
Every thump of the earth seemed to
strike through her.
She suddenly noticed the sky out
side the window, and scrambled out
of the breakfast nook. humping one
knee She ran limpingly out the back
way. 1t was almost dark inside, but
the sky was still bright. Mack out
digging, and it was light!
Mack! Mack, what're you doing"
His back was to her as he worked
at the base of the little tree He
turned his head and smiled that slow
smile.
Mack, what are you doing?"
Does it look like I'm picking
cherries?" the smart boy said. and
turned again to the tree His shoulders
heaved and there was dull thud.
Evening star., 1939-08-27

Lucky, or couldn't see, he said.
He moved bit around the tree, and
she saw he had the long iron crowbar.
He rammed it in the earth at the base
of the tree, kept ramming it farther
and farther down until it made
curiously hollow sound; then he gave
it hard extra thrust, pulled it out
and started new hole.
Loosen the earth around the
roots" he said as he worked, land
let this little tree have plenty of water,
and you won't know it in another
couple. three years"
Mack - don't | don't want to
hold you back. want you to do what
YOU want to do Don't do anything
now on my account.
Don't be a saperoo,' he sas.ss IS
gruffy. I've been thinking, Doll -
it's maybe right what the saperoos
say about there being no such thing
as a perfect counterfeit. Maybe it
wouldn't be smart, trying to use this
stuff. Anyhow, it was half because
thought you wanted - oh, what the
help"
He leaned an elbow on the crowbar
and looked at her in that old smooth
way, forming his slow handsome
smile. DO | look like a chump?
Listen, we'd never be sure if we
started passing this stuff We'd never
know but what someday big John
Law would tap our shoulder. D'you
think we'd get bang out of living
like that? Huh! Why. guy'd be
saperoo, thinking he'd like that! All
the money in the world couldn't buy
you any fun, with that hanging over
your head"
Jean wanted to run to him and be
close to him then, but she was sud-
denly weak She sat down on the
garden bench

say any more. And as he looked at
her with his eyes big and soft and lips
parted. with tiny muscles pulling this
way and that on his face as he tried
to comprehend the eternal miracle,
the smooth smart boy never knew
how utterly he looked like an ordrA
nary, homegrown saperoo.
