Share Your Smiles
You may not have much cash to share,
But share your smiles;
To life your neighbours weight of care

You may not have a store of gold,
But words of cheer
Have value that is all untold,
For every ear.

Cab and Milk Bills Due
For Delay in House

Bills to limit the number OF taxi
cabs in Washington and to open the
local milk market to producers in
any State, are not expected to be
considered by the House tomorrow
when 1t takes up the District cal
endar.
Chairman Randolph of the House
District Committee said last night
he did not propose to call up either
of the measures because of their
controversial" nature. Both bills
have been pending on the House cal
endar since the last regular session
Of Congress.
TT would be futile to call up either
bill at this time" said Representa-
tive Randolph.
II am as strong for the taxicab
limitation bill as I ever was, and
am just as convinced now as was
previously that the proposed legis-
lation is sound. But why call up a
bill that is surely to be blocked?"
Despite the statement of Repre-
sentative Schultz. Democrat, of In
diana that majority of House men,
bers are sympathetic with his bill to
open the District milk market to
producers anywhere, Mr.. Randolph
does not believe the time Is propi-
tious to call it up.

The Commissioners, 1t was said,
intend to remain adamant that the
question Of local suffrage should not
be connected in any way with the

The final report of the Commits

Bv JAMES FREE.

Thanks to the toughest job Of ice
breaking that boats using the route
regularly have encountered in 40
years. the Potomac River today is
nayigable from Washington to
Chesapeake Bay.
Moderate temperatures of the last
few days have helped, naturally, but
major share of the credit must go
to the Southland, sturdy 32-year -old
vessel of the Norfolk & Washington
Steamboat Co.
Where bigger and younger ships
bucked the Potomac ice for only
minor gains, the 2,0S1-ton Southland
ploughed through from the Capital
to open waters of the bay. Then, to
make doubly certain that the way
was safe for sister ships, the hearty
veteran crunched its wAy upstream
again
And, none the worse for wear, the
Southland lies proudly at dock here
this morning, ready to resume its
share Of the lines scheduled passen-
ger runs early this week.
No Fanfare ut Start.
There was no fanfare when the
Southland slipped downstream past
Hains Point at daylight Thursday
morning. For it had begun a test
trip, and there lay ahead the pros
pect of jamming In heavy ice or
having to turn back. No other ship
had been able to fight its way
through the 50-mile stretch Of frozen
Potomac.
The 8,000-ton British boat Mark
land, bound for Alexandria, rammed
its way northward to Morgantown,
rested for . week hoping for better
conditions, then turned about for
Baltimore.
And the Nays ice-hreaking tug,
Sycamore, setting out from Norfolk,
nosed up to Maryland Point on Feb.
ruapy 2, but wearied Of what seemed
to be sunproductive battering and
chugged back to home port.
Familiar Markers Hidden.
For more than two weeks the Nor
folk and Washington steamers had
been confined to port, so dangerous
was navigation an the Potomac. Not
only did the ice block the channel,
but 1t had beaten down familiar
bouys and course markers and frozen
solidly over them.
Only twice before since the steam
boat company was established in
1891 had Ice forced cancellation Of
schedules. Once In 1918 for four
weeks. And again In 1896, when
the ships ihy idle for about the same
time. But both times the line had
waited longer-until the channel ice
was thinner and weaker-before
making q trial run.
Doubtless N. q Ws Port Captain
Edward Eaton and the Southland
skipper, Thomas. J. Hewitt renected
/ GA these matters as they sailed
