'Well, Mr.. Richardson, does man.

Guy A. Richardson, head of the

the commission to make study OF
the company's profits for the past
five years ito ascertain if it is not
possible for the Capital Transit Co
to increase wages of their employees
without resorting to an increase In
streetcar and bus fares"
The company had indicated that
it could not afford to meet the in
crease in wages demanded by the
employees unless rates were raised
in prior negotiations.
Mr.. Flanagan referred the union
to the rate hearings held last spring
and summer. He declined, however
to make any findings" from figures

We all dreamed of escaping, as cOOped
men will do. And one day the opportunity

men in the camp.
On that day in question we were to get
some meat. The meat arrived in the shape
of a starved but still rather frisky Philip
pine cow The creature could not have
weighed $50 pounds. We helped the cow
tenderly out of the truck which brought it
to our enclosure, but it suddenly broke
away from us and began running around
the prison yard.
The hungry Americans, including my
self gave chase But the cow was in much
better physical shape than any of us. 1t
darted this way and that and then ran
straight out of the open gate of the
enclosure.
DY THIS time the senior officers and
ID many of the Juniors were completely
winded. But half dozen enlisted men
pursued the cow right through the gate,
passing right before the noses of the
heavily armed Jap guard.

named Greenleaf finally solved the
dilemma. He borrowed a length of rope

take off into the brush ard down to the beach. And then to get across a cove he would go into the water, fully clothed, and swim to the other shore.
 Whats more, these swimming episodes took place in November and December. An officer who once found him on the road re- turning to the base, dripping wet, teok him in his car, heard his story and did nothing about it. The boy was described as be- ing as blue as his uniform.
 If ever love should have tri- umphed, that one should. And it dld. The boy and girl were later married, he was transferred and she followed him to the States.
 If they have children, and if the father tells them how import ant it IS to learn to swim, we can imagine his voice will have the ring of authority that comes from experience.
 Then again, maybe he won't want them to learn to swim.

You no doubt remember the story about the boy who wrote his girl letter, proclaiming that his love was so great that he would climb the highest mount ain, swim the deepest ocean, and travel through fire for her, and then added a postscript to the effect that eff it doesn't rain I'll be over tonight"
 A serviceman stationed at the base at one time was certainly not the writer of that. For if love was ever proved by actions, this fellow proved it.
 Here's what he did. It was back in the days of greater re- strictions on servicemen coming to town, and this boy decided he must see his girl o tener than the restrictions allowed.
 So he would walk out the high way from the base almost as far as the guard house gate, which used to be located differently than it is now, then he would
