Capital Transit Cites
Losses in Operation
Of Maryland Routes
Dye Stuff corrsspendent Of The Siur

BALTIMORE, Mar. - The
Capital Transit Co. is increasingly
losing money on its Maryland OPP
erationS, the Maryland Public
Service Commission was In
formed today in testimony by
Robert s. Harvey, the company's
vice presidentfand controller. The
company is seeking commission
approval for curtailment of some
service.
Mr.. Harvey testified that for the
calendar year 1851 the company
showed . net operating loss Of
$469. 1872 on its regular route bus
operations IN Maryland. He ex-
planned that operating revenues
totaled 81 ,020, ,545, while operating
expenses reached 81, ,327, BOG.
The company has experienced
greater financial loss in Maryland
since it put in evidence figures for
the year ending October 81, 1851.
The October figures showed a
net operating loss. Of $469. 1896.
Wage Increase Noted.
Mr.. Harvey pointed out to the
commission that the increase in
wages given the company's or
|ganized workers July l is a big
factor in higher operating ex-
|penses.
The company plans to offer it's
witnesses for cross-examination
and citizens groups are expected
to have their representatives on
hand. These groups have suggested
that the company maintain serv-
ice to the Prince Georges County
Hospital.
The company made application
for rerouting the O-6 Montgomery
Busline, splitting service SO that
some trips would operate over
the Old Georgetown road. The
Alta Vista line now serves that
area. but the company has petit
toned to abolish zones 3 and 4
on that route.
Re-ROuting Considered.
Re-routing Of the B-6 Cheverly
busline into the Prince Georges
County Hospital IS now under con-
sideration to replace service being
given by the present Hts COM
lmunity line, which runs between
College Park and Landover Hills
and Kent village, The company
seeks to abandon the H-6-8 line.
The revised program would give
the hospital 1a-hour service In
lncn-rusl hours and better than
THAT during rush hours.
Today's hearing is resumption
lot that originally planned for Feb
Iruary 6. It was postponed indefi-
lnitely so that a series Of closed
conferences could be held between
company spokesmen, citizens OF
the areas affected and Peoples
Counsel Joseph Allen.

WITH CHILDREN.
(From Mrs. c. w. S., CheUerly)
To the lady who wanted in
formation on travelling with chill
dren. This arrangement worked
so we'll for friends of mine that
I am passing it along. This friend
and her husband with three chill
dren. under 6 years of age. took
a trip to California and were on
the road altogether more than
three weeks coming and going.
The man made a platform or
shelf to fill in the space in the
back of the car. He used 18I
or 20 inch shelving and Is
by Is for legs at each end. The
legs were put on with hinges so
it could be folded and put in
trunk of car when not in use.
The shelf was made 3 inches
lower than the back seat and a
pad made to bring it on a level
with the seat. The woman used
two large bed pillows basted to-
gether and tied with coarse thread
every inches as the old COM
forts were tied. Chair pads could
be used.
When it was time for childrens'
nap their faces were washed and
they were dressed as for bed. They
carried a gallon jug of water
for washing, etc. The suit
cases and boxes on the floor were
not disturbed. They carried small
pillows and covers which were
needed. It was such a convenience
that both the man and the wom-
an who took turns driving curled
upon the bed and slept and rested
during the trip.
This sleeping arrangement
made the trip enjoyable to all and
certainly made it possible for
three tired children to stretch and
sleep comfortably.

IL SOF1EN SUGAR.
(Fronl Miss A. H., Washington
I have noticed several times
lately the question in your COL
umn as to how to soften hard
brown sugar, but have, so far, seen
no answer. I have found that a
small piece of cloth or paper
towel folded to several thicknesses
and dampened with water and
laid on top of the sugar does the
trick very nicely. keep my sugar
in glass jars, but a tin container
or plastic, I believe, would serve
the purpose, except that the cloth
or paper would have to be
moistened more often, since some
air would get to it. It may take
a day or two for the sugar to-
soften in case it is awfully hard.
otherwise several hours will do.
I hope your readers will find this
method helpful.

OPINION.
FROM Mrs. F. NJ, BetheSdQl

(From Mrs. F. M. Bethesda)
Being of a controversial or dis
putative disposition, I should like
to get into this discussion on max
ing unpleasant but necessary tasks
pleasant to children. I agree with
one writer, that in the case of
infants and quite young children,
it is necessity and a kindness
to minimize the unpleasant fea-
lures Of certain unacceptable rou-
tines. But take exception to this
writer's argument that children
will have much unpleasantness to
face in later life and should thus
be spared as much Of such expe-
riences as possible in their early
years.
My argument would be that be-
cause they will inevitably meet
with disagreeable and even painful
experiences that they will not be
able to avoid in their later life:
therefore. they should be trained
to face and accept such manifes-
tations of the disagreeable and the
painful as come naturally and
inescapably into their earlier
years. How, otherwise, can char
acter be built? Surely a child who
is brought up to believe that
"mom" will soften all the blows
THAT MON" will avert the sling:
and blunten the arrows of "out-
rageouS fortune" will never be-
come a mental and emotiona.
adult.
It seems to me that in all the
advice on child rearing that is
being diffused. and heaven knows
! it Is plenty, two good sound fight
ing words are most conSpicuously
left out. Those words are "cour-
age" and duty" The Victorians
worked these terms to death but
that does not mean that there
is no virtue in them. In fact, a
little heavier leaning on them and
their connotations and a little
more restraint in all this "self
expression" would probably have
a salutary affect on the present
generation of children.
Life is hard business even to
the most fortunate of people.
There are inevitable pains to bear,
even If they be no other than old
age and death. Surely of all the
virtues to be inculcated in the
formative years. courage is the
most important; and in a truly
adult personality, courage must
become nature with a strong sense
of duty.
