Letter Carriers Wear Out Shoes
SO WPB Can I est Qualities

One hundred and twenty Wash
ington mail carriers have been walk
ing their runs for the past year in
shoes supplied by the Government
without ration stamps.
It is all part Of the War Produc-
ton Boards program to test the
longer-wearing qualities OF shoes
with treated soles and thus conserve
scarce stocks Of leather.
Each postman who volunteered
and, according to local post Office
officials, there has been no lack of
volunteers-wore one shoe with q
specially treated sole and one with
a sole that had not been treated.
The sole treatment materials were
oil, wax, an asphalt composition and
a nitrocellulose composition.

Transit Company
Ordered 10 Set Aside
|$13,1oo,0Oo Account

The Capital Transit Co. yesterday
was ordered by the Public Utilities
Commission to set aside in an un-
classified account more than 49,
100000 Of its present property ac-
count because 1t cannot be associ-
ated at this time with the original
cost of the firms property.
The disposition, If any, of the
81, 1000 has not been determined
by the commission. Chairman James
H. Flanagan Of the PUG explained
that the temporary classification
would have the effect Of segregat-
ing the original cost OF property
from the overall cost reflected on
the company's books"
Suggests Three Methods.
In March, when the valuation and
rate hearings of the transit firm
started before the PUG, v. A. Nc
Elfresh, chief accountant of the COM
mission, suggested that the $13, ,100,-
900 might be disposed Of by one
of three methods: BY amortizing
1t against net income for a period
Of years, by writing down the par
value Of common stock or by amor
tizing it from operating income. He
favored the first method.
"The primary objective OF the
commissions order is to establish
on the books Of Capital Transit the
cost of property at December 81,
l943, and to so revise the accounting
procedure followed by the company
that the original cost of property
can be determined at any time
without the necessity for protracted
and costly investigation" Chairman
Flanagan stated.
The original cost as of December
81. 1943, as estimated by the COM
mission staff, was $46, 482 ,28v, while
the comparable figure presented by
the company was SAC, ,397 1858.
Claim Cost Rise.
During the course of the hear
ings, the company argued that the
difference between original cost and
recorded costs arose because at the
time of the merger Of transit firms
in 1888 to form Capital Transit the
fair market value of the property
was higher than when it was first
devoted to public service.
The commission Is now Investigate
ing whether any change should be
made in the system Of accounts
of the company, whether the COM
pany should establish q continu-
ing property record, and whether
depreciation accruals in the future
should be segregated by various
classes of property.

Study Of Children
Getting Care Given
|by Welfare Board

The Public Welfare Board yester.
day released a detailed study Of the
characteristics Of children receiving
services from the board on January
/, prepared at the request Of the
United States Children's Bureau Of
the Labor Department.
The report, which may be the
forerunner Of a number of analytical
reports from the board, covers the
age, sex, race Of 3,O45 children re-
ceiving service, as well as the
martial status of the parents.
OF the total number of children,
/ 1,347, or A per cent were white and
/, 1,698, or Sc per cent colored. Ap-
proximately 58.7 per cent were boys
and 41.3 per cent girls and 3.6 per
cent were under year Of age, while
1873 per cent were one year old and
under 6, 80 per cent were 8 to 13
years, "A per cent were 13 to 16 years
old and the balance we're between
16 and 81 years.
One-fourth were living in their
own home and about one-eighth
lived in the homes Of relatives.
Practically one-third were in foster
homes and institutional care were
given about one-sixth of the chill
dren, the report stated.
Almost three-tenths of the group
were children whose parents were
not married to each other at the
time the board began its service to
the children. More than one-third
of the colored children and about
one-f1ftt of the white children were
children of unmarried parents. Only
one-third of the total group were
children of parents married to each
other and about one-flfth were
children of divorced, deserted or
separated parents.
Meanwhile, the board has recon-
mended to the Commissioners tho
licensing of the following agencies
under the baby broker act for
handling placement of children, St.
AIMS Infant Asylum, Children's
Protective Association and the Board
of Child Care of the Baltimore Con-
ference of Methodist Churches. The

Jime's brow cleared. "Oh, you
mean you hope they're hep to
straight up"
She regarded Brooks with lofty
condescension as he gasped, Moth
er; Sacre Dios!" She explained in
her most elegant tone to Terry, He
means, For the Iowa Pete"
A rumbling noise broke into their
laughter. 1t was Sandy who real
lied what 1t must be.
The trucks-with the lumber"
Jime and Terry led the way out
through the hall, running in their
excitement, and Brooks and Sandy
trailed after them. Servants popped
out of doors all the way down the
hall and joined them till by the
time they reached the spot where
the first load was to be dumped
they had collected a small mob.
Angela, breathless and bright
eyed. plucked at Terry's sleeve.
The houses?" she whispered.
Terry nodded and, as she looked
down at the quivering child. she felt
a lump rising in her throat. 1t
meant so much to her-and to a lot
ore like her! AS she glanced up
again she met Jime's eyes. Jime.
too, had been looking at Angela,
and had been touched by the child's
eager Joy. The two women smiled
at each other, a smile Of under
standing happiness.
And then the first truck rumbled
around the corner Of the house and
drew up before them. One Of the
men on 1t leaped down and began
talking to Sandy and Brooks.
Other trucks paused, got their
orders, and rumbled on down the
straight, dusty roads between the
pastures toward the various sec
tons Of workers houses.
AS the group watched the first
truck unloaded, Terry shared their
thrill. This, then. was the real start
Of their housing project. All the
plans, the pictures, the talk had
been theory. This fresh, shining
timber was the first wonderful fact.
AS the pile rose higher and higher,
her spirits seemed to soar with 1t.
She turned to see Raff making his
way through the crowd. On his
face. too, was reflected the impor-
lance Of this event.

CHAPTER TWENTY

BUT AS the days passed. Terry's
confidence in her ability to find the
cause of the gauchos' trouble d.
minished.
She had plenty OF contact with
the worker families these busy
DAYS. This business OF overseeing
the furnishing of the peon houses
was no mornings task. She and
Jime were at work early and late
on the unending stream Of details.
And every peon family must be
consulted on all matters where
there was a choice.
81 want them to feel it's their
home" Jime insisted, mot just
something the sonora thrust upon
them"
Terry was happy enough to spend
her days riding over the estancia,
talking with the peon families. An
gela had been a priceless link.
Terry could see the girls shy eager
ness in these people.
She liked them and they seemed
to know 1t. She drank innumerable
gourds Of mate, talked their lam
guage with them until she no
longer stumbled over idioms. She
advised them on their choice Of ma
terials, laughed with them, jounced
their babies; sometimes she even
lunched with them. But, though she
often noticed troubled, tempted
glances, none of these pampas
women ever confded in her.

planned to Sandy and Brooks one
day when she dropped into Brooks
study to report another failure,

and get away without hearing their

chuckle. Have you tried telling
them YOUR troubles?" he sug-
Bested.
Terry was startled. But I
haven't any troubles!"
Jime's laugh sounded behind her.
That's the spirit love-" Jime said
heartily as she came In. Even
while keep her running from SUM-
rise to sunset she can still say she
has no troubles!"
Terry returned Jime's smile with
equal fondness. This Is the most
fun I've eyer had in my life, I
think" she said honestly.

"Raff Is doing the kind OF work he

at Terry.
Terry grinned. HE hasn't a

Whenever he looks on the Willy
side, Jime or throw in a couple Of

Sandy chuckled again. Il can

mo, I'm afraid he hasn't"
Brooks agreed.
The talk turned uIen to the plans
for the asada. Preparations had
been underway in earnest now for
the last few days The servants
were almost too excited to work.
All they could think about was the
immense wooden dance floor Brooks
had had built in the courtyard be-
tween the house and the stables,
the gauchos who would play their
guitars. the gauchos who would
sing, their own costumes, the beefs
and the lambs, the armadillos al
ready picked out for the feast.

laughed. Look" She moved across
to the window and pointed. Sandy,
Terry and Brooks followed to look
out past the shaded wooden dance
floor to a spot near the stables.
Here the baroness tiny, auto
cratic figure, in tangerine and pur-
pie lounging pajamas, was poised
at the edge Of what was apparently
the barbecue pit In process Of con-
struction. She gesticulated and
shouted down into it, then stepped
back satisfied as shovels of dirt
came flying UP.
"She is overseeing the job"
gasped Brooks.
Her enthusiasm Is boundless, "
murmured Jime dryly. I'VE will I'M
doubtedly be able to barbecue every

said. 81 mean hope they'll be able
