Commission
Weighs ". & 0. D.
Service Resumption
Transport Committee,
Counsel for RoiIroud
Differ on Feasibility
By the Associated Press.

RICHMOND, Va, June 20-De-
mands of the Committee for Emer-
gency Transportation in Northern
Virginia for restoration of passenger
service by the Washington e. Old
Dominion Railroad were in the
hands of the State Corporation
Commission today after a day and
a half of testimony.
The high light of yesterdays ses-
sion was the introduction by the
petitioners of evidence designed to
show that the railroad, which had
claimed inability to get critical
equipment necessary for passenger
service, could obtain used auto
railers without delay and for $1,000
each.
However. Frank L. Ball. counsel
for the railroad, said in his sum-
mary that such a procedure would
be no solution to the problem, since
the auto-railers operate on tires and
burn gasoline and are. therefore. sub
ject to the same limitations as auto
mobiles
Mr., Ball cited figures to show
that on December "a, 1910, which
he described as a peak day in the
railroads passenger service, total
revenue from the operation of four
passenger trains amounted to $40 So.
The people who are now demand
ing that the service be restored, Mr..
Ball asserted, would not make a
move to ride on the train until the
last shred of rubber was worn from
their tires.
John S. Brookes and John H.
Rust, counsel for the committee,
suggested that the railroad could
obtain electric coaches formerly
used on an elevated railroad in the
North Or other equipment described
as converted trucks.
Mr.. Brookes, in his summary for
the committee, declared that the
railroad could get both the money
and necessary equipment and that
need had been shown for the
service.

Brunette Triumphs
Over Blond as Ideal
Office Decoration
Imposse Ends With Crown
OF SecreturiuI School
Going to Dark Beauty

A three-man committee from the
Junior Board OF Commerce yester-
day chose q brunette over q blond as
the ideal secretary.
Their decision ended a deadlock
that for two weeks had troubled the
Washington School for Secretaries
In its annual selection Of the student
most perfect from a standpoint OF
beauty, poise, charm and other such
cherished secretarial attributes.
This impasse first occurred when
the schools student body was asked
TO place the traditional crown. Out
Of its secret ballot came an embar-
RAISING situation-a brunette and a
blond tied, vote for vote, and a red
head so close behind that 1t was
considered unmitigated robbery to
drop her from the running without
more definite demarcation.
So a second vote was taken, with
the result that the redhead was
eliminated. But the matter re-
manned unsettled as 1t applied to
the brunette, Miss Virginia Morris
Edwards, %. Of 1905 Florida avenue
NV. and the blond, Miss Chloe
Ann Mcdonald, 19, of 1850 Harvard
street NV.
Vote No. 8 followed, and that,
like the others, ended in a hopeless
deadlock.
School records gave no aid. The
scholarship of Miss Edwards and
Miss Macdonald was on par and
their I. Q.'s were identical. In des-
peration, the Washington School
for Secretaries turned for an opin-
ion to outsiders-to Godfrey
Creyke, jr., retiring president OF the
Junior Board; Bernard J. Nees, In
coming president, and Erwin H.
Klaus, chairman Of its Public Re-
lations Committee.
These three judges met yesterday
at luncheon at the Shoreham Hotel
with more than 10 students from
the school, among them the dead
locked contenders. After demitasse,
the trio retired to make up their
minds. while newspaper photog-
raphers snapped the finalists in
fitting poses.
When the decision was an
nounced, with no qualification, it
was 2 to ! for brunette Miss Ed
wards.
