Yet 1t is an odd thing how long one

Those who succeed should not pride
themselves on it, for even the alley cats
have splendid mustaches, called whiskers.
Mustaches range all the way from the
very slightest to the extra bushy. Some
droop, some are pointed, others trimmed
square.
When one begins q mustache ones
acquaintance are divided into two
groups, those who like it, and those who
do not.
At first the latter may laugh, but
sooner or later even they will give tacit
consent.
Some old timers believe the mustache
acts as barricade against cold germs.
Science says there is not word of
truth to this, as one might suspect.
The best thing that can be said in
its favor is that it makes youthful
looking man look more mature and an
older man more youthful.

There are many things at which the

An intoxicated man, for instance, Is
held to be howlingly funny. Even tenn

Another human being always good for
joke is the mother -in-law. Actually,
she may be one Of the incest women In
the world.
The brides first baking powder biscuits
constitute a sure fire scream, although
most often her biscuits turn out well.
Growing q mustache is another of
these fixed ideas,
Everybody takes an interest in it, even
strangers.

a mustache is too personal thing to

Even in Hitler's Germany men were

they chose.
Probably what happens is nothing
more than that man stands in front
OF his mirror some morning and decides
that he just won't shave that upper lip
that morning.
Nothing more to it than that. No
fateful decision, no beauty prize aspira-

Ad Nuuseom

Representatives Of the Capital Transit
Co. are quoted as saying that the major
ity Of their passengers are soothed by the
music on the buses and streetcars. 1t Is
significant that in discussing the ques-
ton of forced listening. the company
officials almost invariably confine their
references to music" ignoring the real
problem.
Probably few passengers would object
to music-provided 1t was music; and
provided 1t was not blared so loud as to
interfere with conversation. reading or
reflection. The objection of the cap
tive audience" is to the internal COM
mercials which are the purpose Of the
programs-the booze ads, the patent
medicine ads, the help for the lovelorn
ads and all the other quackery that is
forced upon them.
In ones home it is possible to turn of
the radio and exclude this sickening
stuff. But on the Capital Transit lines.
the luckless commuter is compelled to
listen to the drivel ad nauseum.
II the Capital Transit is a public
utility, it should serve and not exploit
the public. It should try to accommo-

We landowners also have wives and

If any serviceman really appreciates

watch the bulletin boards and keep in
touch with National Housing before he
puts UP an unwarranted squawk. My
apartment has been vacant two weeks
and it will stay vacant while longer.

tenants who will be fair enough to agree
to give me at least weeks notice be-
fore they move. If they are transferred

other incidental costs must take in $40 before
he begins to make anything for himself. Such
a driver must gross $22.40 day in order to
equal the days pay of an average bus driver.
But group riding is profitable to the driver
and thrifty for the passengers under. existing
policy, Under this plan reduced fares are al
lowed when two or more passengers use the
cab. The taxcab interests want the plan changed
so that the reduced rate will apply only to
groups which enter the cab at the same stop.
If a subsequent passenger were taken on, he
would be required to pay full fare. This would
be manifestly discriminatory to the latecomer,
for he would be paying the same fare he would
pay If he had the whole cab to himself The
tendency would be to reduce the number of
group passengers carried and that would not
be in the public interest now.

Is the Neighborhood Movie Washed Up?
By Harry Macarthur

VOUR neighborhood movie exhibitor
l. may be facing the greatest threat
yet to his business. But he either doesn't
believe 1t or will not openly admit 1t.
Television, of course may be just a
big scare. It may never do any more
to the movies than did radio, which
threw a fright into the exhibitors and
film producers In its early day. Then,
however, motion pictures had novelty
of their own-sound-with which to
lure customers as radio started to build
its big audience.
The novelty Of sound gave the screen
the ammunition needed to hold its own
against radio, and also did some damage
of it's own. Vaudeville, and the thea
ter's road" have never been the same
since.
Whether television will do to the
movies what the movies did to the road"
and to vaudeville is something no one
can say without crystal ball in good
working order. Il. Indeed. the facts of
television's effects on motion picture
theater attendance today are hard to
come by.

The cost-of- Living index is high. all
right. But it is not high enough to have
prevented more than half of Washing
tons families from buying television re-
ceivers. They used money they might
have spent on the movies to buy them

A Union Pleads Guilty

There is nothing in the record to show why
the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen has
pleaded guilty to charges of criminal and civil
contempt of court.
Perhaps the proceedings in Chicago had
something to do with the decision. There the
union contested the charges but was found guilty
after trial Since the facts in both cases were
essentially the same, the leaders may have felt
1t was useless to continue the court fight in the
District.
Or it may be that the union authorities
came to the conclusion that all things con-
sidered 1t would be better from the unions
point of view to accept responsibility for the
recent "sick' strikes The alternative would
have been to take the position that the union
could not control and was not responsible for
the acts of its members If that contention
had been advanced and successfully maintained,
the resulting situation would have been intol-
erable. 1t would have meant that union mem
bers, supposedly acting in their individual
capacities, could have deprived the Nation Of
an essential service in defiance of the orders
of the Federal Courts. It would have been
necessary to find some means of dealing with
such situation, and the union might have
suffered more in that process than 1t will suffer
from its acknowledgment of guilt
In any event, the guilty plea and the hne
imposed by Judge Tamm should mean that
there will be no more "sick' strikes in the face
of court injunction by the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen. The power Of the Federal
Courts to protect the national interests has been
recognized, and that is marked advance over
the chaotic situation which had prevailed.
