The wartime "jitney" service
should be revived and established
all over the city.
"Jitney" Service Advocated.
Mr.. Delano said the "jitney" serv-
ice performed useful function not
only in Washington but in many
other cities. One of the complaints
now lodged against the private au-
tomobile is that is carries an average
of only IL persons, according to
various studies. The "jitney" auto
mobile could carry three or four
passengers and vehicles Of the So
called sation-wagon type could ac-
commodate seven or eight persons.
Washington has nothing in the
way of efficient commuter service
to offer, he claimed. The Baltimore

tween Baltimore and Washington,
he indicated, was far from satis-
factory.
What is needed" he said, rs rapid
transit service to areas 10 miles or
more distant running on frequent
schedules as in New York or Chi
cago."
The question of zoning, Mr.. Delano
said, is vital to any consideration Of
the automobile parking problem. He
frequently has outlined his ideas at
coming hearings and elaborated on
them in his memorandum. The
question involves the height of build
ings and apartments. allowing ade-

About the war he can tell some
hair-raising stories. He was a nurse
at Camp Alger, near Washington,
D. c., amid tragic circumstances.
He remembers, for instance, that
500 persons were i'll with typhoid
fever at the hospital. Then 1000
more patients were dumped into the
camp.
Mr.. Wagner's heart sank as he
witnessed the wagon train rolling
in with it's pitiful burden. There
wasn't enough room in the hospital.
There weren't enough cots, not
enough tents.
But by attaching the flaps of tents
together and by crowding them
they managed to jam the patients
into the available space, but scores
of patients were forced to wear
their clothes. There wasn't enough
bed clothing
They placed Mr.. Wagner directly
in charge of 35 typhoid patients, al
though he knew nothing of the
fever. There were few doctors and
the male nurses had more authority
than they relished.
The war over, he began making
uniforms for the army. Three years
of this and he came back to Ohio
to teach. For 10 years he taught
grade and high schools in Fairfield
and Morgan counties, his last job
being at Sugar Grove
