New Bus Fares
To Virginia Get
Test
Transit Officials
Not Yet Certain
How Plan Will Work

Government workers who live in
the District and whose offices are
on the Virginia side today began
their first full-scale use of reduced
bus fares on the buslines that take
them to work.
Tickets which cut the fare be-
tween the District and Federal in
stallations in Virginia for regular
riders from one and fraction cents
to five cents actually went on sale
last Saturday, but were not widely
used until the rush hour this morn
ing. The cut rates are applicable
between any point in the District
and the Pentagon Building, the
Navy Annex, the Army Air Forces
at Gravelly Point, the Washington
National Airport and intermediate
points.
Effect Still Uncertain.
Officials of the Capital Transit
Co. and the three Virginia buslines
involved explained it was still too
early to determine what the effect
of the new system would be. Scat
tered reports showed, however, that
more commuters were buying the
three-for-a quarter tickets than
were buying the books of II round
trip tickets for $160.
On one line at least the new ticket
system was slowing up operations,
according to an official of the COM
pany.
r. Mitchell, traffic manager of
the Alexandria, Bancroft e. Wash
ington Transportation Co., said
loading of buses was hampered to
some extent by the sale of tickets
at terminal points. He said he
thought this condition was tempo
rary, however, and that the system
would work out more efficiently
later on as passengers and bus line
employees became accustomed to it.
Edward D. Merrill, president OF
the Capital Transit Co., said it had
not yet been possible for his COM
pany to check on the number of
tickets sold at its two Offices, l4l6
F. street NV. and Thirty-sixth and
M streets NV. Mr.. Merrill said,
however, he believed most of the
tickets would be sold by the Vir-
ginia lines at the Government build
ings.
Advance Sales Negligible.
Sales of the reduced rate tickets
by the Arlington g. Fairfax Motor
Transportation Co. yesterday and
Saturday were negligible, accord
ing to Franklin K. Lane, president
of the company. He explained the
necessity of selling tickets at various
points outside the buses rather than
by the drivers themselves. Not only
would it slow up operations for
drivers to sell tickets, he said, but
it would be almost impossible to
prevent Overriding" by passengers
who are entitled to ride only about
one-quarter of the lines entire
route
A spokesman for the Washington,
Virginia g. Maryland Coach Co.
(Arnold- -operated) said his firm sold
only a small number of tickets on
Saturday. He said the line did not
expect any complications arising
from the new system because only
one bus runs between Eleventh and
E streets NV. and the Pentagon
Building in the morning and only a
few more during the evening rush
hours.
The new tickets, either those in
the $160 book or those sold sepa-
rately at a cost of three for rs
cents, may be used on any Capital
Transit bus in the District, with
transfer privileges to a Capital
Transit or Virginia bus going to the
Government buildings across the
river.

Big 1axicab Firms

Representatives of national taxi

here, the membership of the United

the organization will seek a more

zoning rates, the PUG was directly
responsible for fares being passed
up occasionally by drivers. He point
ed out that under the pickup sys-
tenn, a 90-cent fare dropped to 70
cents.
He said that although drivers are
very much interested in providing
the best service to the public, it was
difficult to do satisfactory Job
under the present zoning rates.
Mr.. Peters also declared that he
would seek better understanding
by the public of the problems OF
taxicab drivers in general. He also
advocated compulsory liability in.

There was a discussion on the
possibility of limiting the number
of taxicabs in the District to 5000

OUTDOORS-w;th BIZ, l..teh

The opening of the dove season
proved a disappointment to many
local shooters. The doves mostly are
in the cornfields at this time Of
the year and We haven't seen such
tall corn since we left Iowa. There
seems to be the usual number of
locally Matched birds about, but they
are hanging pretty close and gen.
orally are not fiocked up. However,
corn cutting has commenced and
we predict better shooting for a
period after the fields are cut over
and the shocks set up. After the
local dove crop is fairly well cut
down by hunters, there is lull in
the sport until the flight doves
come through from the North.
Dove shooting Is being enjoyed
by more hunters each year, and
we receive many inquiries as to
where to go for best hunting Of
this speedster of the airways. Our
best advice is to hunt for cornfields
and wheat stubble fields located
near water. 1t doesn't seem to mat
ter where this combination is to
be found, as you generally will find
some doves in such a location.
Some locations, of course, prove
better than others, but with gas
rationing off, this Is no deterrent.
All you have to do is move on until
you find a spot to your liking. Be
sure to obtain permission from the
farmer before entering the field.
We've rarely been refused permis-
sion to hunt when we've asked for
the privilege.
AS for gun, we're partial to the
.410 pump with the 3-inch shells
loaded with No. dropshot. This is
a light, fast little weapon, ideal for
snap shooting required if you're
walking up the little birds in the
tall corn. We use 16-gauge auto
loader for pass shooting, with a
modified choke barrel for the long
lots. Here also, we find No. 8
lot the best all-around load. OF
course, with the shell shortage, one
must use whatever he can get. Skeet
loads are plenty powerful in any
gauge, which simplifies matters.
Dove shooting is a real sport, re-
quiring considerable skill with the
scattergun, and the bag limit OF 10
will give you as delicious a meal
as you've ever eaten. Cook them
just as you would quail-split down

Hogan AiIing, but Ties
McSpaden for Lead
In Dallas Open
ly the Associated Press.

DALLAS, Tex, Sept. 7.-Ben Ho-
gan, the fairway's little giant,
watched his Thermometer with one
eye and jug McSpaden with the
other today as the two moved into
the second round of the Dallas &c.,
900 War Bond open with each boast
ing a stroke lead over four more
hard-riding pros.
Little Ben, who has been fighting
influenza for more than a week and
almost took the count the day he
arrived in Dallas, looked like q sick
man, but didn't play like one yester-
day as he marched in with q 4-un-
der-par 68 to tie McSpaden, the
Sanford, Me-, star, for the lead after
Is holes.
Complaining that while he didn't
have any fever for the moment and
no longer had the aches that went
with flu, Hogan, the wee Texan now
located at Hershey, Pa, said he was
very weak and found playing the
round quite burden.
McSpaden Finds Trouble.
McSpaden, who came up to the
18th with 6-under-par perform
ance only to lose two strokes by
landing too close to tree with his
tee shot, was pretty well burned up
over the situation. Here I play IT
fine holes, then blow my chances on
the last one" he said as he headed
rapidly for the clubhouse mumbling
under his breath.
McSpaden, in trying to pitch out,
had swung his club into branches
of the tree, missing the ball COM
pletely at the cost of stroke. Then
he tapped it out so he might have
. clear shot at the green.
Hogan last week end triumphed
In the Nashville, Tenn, Open where
he thought he had licked the flu
attack only to receive a setback
from an automobile ride to Dallas.
The last time McSpaden won

In August of last year.

Byron Nelson, COLTS greatest
money-winner who has triumphed
in Is tournaments this year, was
