His is on American soldier.

HIS is on American soldier.
He goes TO war not with any tanatlcal
theories of race superiority, of any special
place in the sun, nor any desire TO rule
the world by fire and by sword. He fights
for something greater. For decency-for his
loved ones-for his Country, not as some
warlike symbol, but as the one great refuge
in this world where the humble, the meek,
and the righteous may live and work in
peace.
This is why he must win. For these are
lasting, truthful things. They are not tenn
porary drugs for the mind, but steadfast
things of the heart and the soul. And when
the fame of fanaticism finally fickers and
goes out, the fires of American decency and
honor will still burn.
n Is this some sense of decency and
honor that has bound US all together. We
know we cannot all fight But there is
something we can do-and are doing-t
help. We can help provide the guns, the
planes, the tanks, and the ships to put might
behind The right.
BY the tens Of millions, Americans are
saping for Victory in the War Bond Pay
roll Savings Plan Every payday we en-
ployees, workers and bosses are putting
aside 1929 of our pay-a dime from every
dollar-and every time these savings
amount to $1S.75, we get a War Bond. And
because this is the free American way
our money is working double. First it goes
in a mighty flow for the instruments of
Victory, then-ten years later-it comes back
10 us, fomr dollars for every three we've put
into War Bonds -$25 for every $18.75.
Now look at the picture again. Then i'm

Getting a Cab at Union Station
Is Good Way Not to Start Day

When Morning Troins Stort Rolling In

Many q businessman arriving in
the Capital on war job starts off
his day in fury.
He pulls into Union Station on
one of the fast trains that arrive
almost simultaneously from all parts
of the country. How soon he can
get away in a taxi depends largely
on his ability to plot strategy.

known TO wait for an hour. accord

Gregory Hankin of the Public Utili-

and placed it on his desk.
Mr.. Hankin announces that his
commission will hold hearingS-at
date not set-Which will consider
whether the Union Station taxi con-
cession is in the public interest.
Most Expensive Concession"
Diamond Cabs right to haul away
passengers from Union Station is
the most expensive taxi conces-
sion in the whole world" accord
ing to Harry Davis, the taxi as
sociation's president. How many
thousands of dollars per year the
association pays to the terminal
has not been made public. but a
$4,000 bond has been posted guar
anteeing fulfllment of its transport
contract.
Diamond Cab pays more than the
concession is worth nowadays, says
Mr.. Davis. During rush hours the
cabs of competing firms pour into
the pickup line. They are mo-
toned in by one of the 10 starters
paid by Diamond.
Tires and traffic are the trouble
makers, according to Mr.. Davis and
Union Station officials. OF 1,13I
Diamond cabs about $50 are laid
up for lack of tires or spare parts
on any given day, Mr.. Davis esti-
mates.

Fear of tire wear prevents many
q hacker from heading back toward
the terminal after discharging a
passenger at a distant point, he
says.
Nevertheless, Diamond officials
'believe we're doing a darned good
Job" Mr.. Davis declares. In 1941
the taxi starters counted 1907 900
trips made by Diamond from the

Adding trips made from the front
and east end, Mr.. Davis estimates
$500 900 passengers were taken from
the station. This year, he believes,
IS to 25 per cent more are carried.
The hitch comes when prospective
passengers arrive by the multiple

falling early in the week. Another
