Olympia. . "Wash., Feb. 21. Tuesday
was considered; by pubUe utilities in
terests as one of ths nicest days of tha
session. In ths senate a bill was passed
by a large majority, placing regulation
of jitneys apd for rent autos under the
stats public service commission, while
in the house a similarly big majority
approved the measure which will give
electric companiea further years to re.
construct their wiring to comply with
tha standard of safety provided by tha
Washington laws adopted In 11J.
This latter bill brought eut a pecul
iar combination. It developed that the
cities that have municipally-owned
light and power plarits were actually
further behind in reconstruction to
comply with the standard than many
of the privately owned companies, so
the home rule cities were glad te Join
with the utilities in getting a further
extension of time.
Death Penalty Jte stared.
The senate also passed ths bill re
storing the death (penalty for murder,
but this will not affect tha sentence
of the men who murdered Industrial
Insurance Commissioner Olson during
the present session, as ; retroactive
criminal laws are unconstitutional.
The only other bills passed by the
senate were three relating to the state
land office, one a general administra
tive measure, another seeking better
protection . of timber from fires and
a third relating; to mineral leases.
The new automobile license and reg
ulation bill passed second reading in
the house and may go on the calendar

London. Feb. . (U. F.) (By Mall 7
England is facing compulsory ration
ing measures. Members of the food
committee for the kingdom do not be-1
lievo the voluntary system will last !
much longer. But American hous-1
wives, endeavoring to meet the high
cost of living, might do well to feed
their families on the rations as now
permitted under the British food re
strictions. Xeaas Are Outlined.
The chef of one of London's famous
old restaurants has outlined the fol
lowing menua for the daily meals of a
family of five, desiring to keep within
the limits suggested four pounds of
bread, ZV pounds of meat and three
quarters of a pound of sugar weekly.
The menus are:
Breakfast Coffee, porridge, five
eggs (one for each person), one pound
of bread and butter.
Dinner Vegetable eoup, fillet of
beef (lVi pounds and 6 ounces of ba-
eon), cheese and celery, 5 ounces or
bread (one ounce for each person).
Supper Bight ounces of bread,
cheese, vegetable salad.
That cofnpulsory rationing is near Is
the opinion of W. C. Anderson, member
of parliament and one of the foud
committee for the kingdom.
Compulsory KatUnls Probable.
"Frankly, I do BOtbeileve," he said
today, "that the voluntary system will
last much longer. My purely personal
opinion is that compulsory rationing
measures win nave 10 do aoopiea ior
very obvious reaeons."
To the unselfish patriots ef England,
however, this compulsory rationing
will bring no great hardship. Already

gers of the Pullman Company. The safety
of the cars, due to their unusually sturdy
construction; the sanitary condition in which they are rnahv
tained; the numerous, conveniences which their equipment
affords, and the courtesy of the Pullman employes are all
factors contributing to the increased comfort and enjoyment
of railroad travel. - -
In the Pullman car only a limited number of passengers
are accommodated; mere is no crowding. Operating over
practically every railroad in the country, it is rarely necessary
for the passengers to change cars from departure to destina
tion. Both of these conditions contribute to the safety and
comfort of unescorted women and children.

For fifty years die Pullman Company has directed its
efforts to the determination of the needs of the traveling'
public and the development of a service to meet these
requirements. That twenty-nine per cent of Pullman con
ductors and twenty-five per cent of Pullman porters have
been in the continuous service of the Company for over
ten years indicates the high personnel of the employes by
whom the service is rendered.
