when q person speaks Of

Of Waukesha, Wis, should one
say it or they? My husband
and daughter insist that ! am
wrong when I say Is your hair

Are your hair clean?' We are
anxious for your answer, for

Let there be an end to argu-

where mother knows best.
Hair" is an uncommon word,
In that 1t may refer to a single
hair or. collectively. to all the
hairs on ones head. When
used as a collective noun, you
follow the rule that when the
noun names a thing thought Of
as a whole or as a unit. 1t takes
q singular verb. So "Is your
hair clean?" is the only correct
form.
Are your hair clean?" seems
TO be quite common in the local
dialect Of the North Central

One of the three, a hitch

other two were turned over to
juvenile authorities.
The car, stolen from Paul

Riverdale, Md, crashed into
two gasoline pumps in a sta
ton at 1925 Bladensburg road
NE, then glanced off a parked
car.
The chase started when Park
Police Pvt. Lee Schleig saw the
car travelling at a high rate of
speed near Riverdale road on
the Baltimore Washington
parkway about 9:15 pm. When
he radioed ahead, he was told
the car had been reported
stolen.
Pvt. Schleig later said he
pulled alongside the car and
ordered the driver to stop, but
the auto sped away and the
chase was on. The policeman
fired two shots as they raced
toward the District.
The fugitive car attempted
to evade Metropolitan police by
trying to turn around at the
service station. But it slammed
into the pumps and then into
the parked car.

three children, l719 Savannah

In Revenue
Reported

A 2.5 per cent passenger gain
and a SIS per cent rise in rev.
enue we're registered by D. C.
Transit System last month
compared with a year ago.
Net operating income an d
profits dropped, however, the
company reported to the Pub
lie Utilities Commission yes
terday. The transit firm cur
rently is seeking a fare increase
to meet rising operating costs.
June operating revenue to-
tailed $2,l89,365. a rise of $115,-
$40 over June, 1857, the report
showed. Passengers totaled a.
ST., 079, a gain of 360,6l8.
Operating Income Dips
But operating income, which
is used by the commission in
setting fares, was only $94, 704,
a dip of $9,332, or 9 per cent
from June last year. And the
company's net of $68,09S was
down 1924 or 9.5 per cent.
The gain in passengers con-
tinues a favorable trend regis
tered in recent months follow
ing long-term passenger de-
cline.
Charter and sightseeing bust
ness took in $44,924 compared
to only $28,247 in June last
year. Revenue from limousine
service dropped slightly, from
$8,469 to $6,979, however.
The transit firms charter
and sightseeing activity is be-
ing given close scrutiny by the
utilities commission. 1t has been
under attack by competing
sightseeing operators.
Six-MOnth Figures
For the first half of this year
the report showed the company
has crossed $13,l49,256. gain
Of $l74,269 or l.3 per cent over
the comparable period last
year. But the six months
operating income of $332,98s
was down A per cent and the
S156,379 net was down SIS per
cent.
For the six months, charter
business crossed some $365.00C
compared to 100000 a year
ago. Limousine business also
showed slight gain for the
half year, despite the June loss
1t crossed $4O.227 compared to
last years $35,439.

A Matter for State
Commenting on previous tes-
timony that the State Of Mary

practices aimed at by the Beall

said, II cannot understand
Maryland having no control,
but that is a matter for the
State of Maryland to decide"
This committee" Senator

other responsibility. We had a
Congressman appear before US
and taking money from a client
after it (the association was

ing Observation-Disclosures 1t
was complained of by the Bet
ter Business Bureau and after
this legislation was introduced.
I'VE have had the case Of Mr..
Adams and Mr.. Goldf1ne and
now we have the case of this
Congressman. I don't know
how far it goes-I'm not saying
it goes any further-but I think
we should find out"

president of the United States

titled:
"At one time, Family Savings

Senator Capehart's reference
to a complaint" from the Bet

up by his introduction into the
record of a statement from that
organization in Baltimore. The
statement said that the Balti-
