MR.. souTHARD DIsAPPRovEs.
Discusses Aldrich Bill Before House
Banking COMMITTEES.

II am here to express my disapproval
of the Aldrich currency BILL" declared E.
Southland Parker. president of the Metro
politan National Bank of this city, before
the banking and currency committee OF
the House of Representatives upon the
beginning of its hearings on the currency
bill today.
II consider it undesirable and imprac-
ticable'' added Mr.. Parker. THE AL
drich bill suggests panics and emergen-
ces. but it does not provide the needed
relief and remedy. 1t is menace to the
business interests and especially to trade
and mercantile interests
The demand on the banks made by that
bill to purchase SjOO. 100000 Of bonds and
to increase their reserves 5000 100000 he
said. would be dangerous to the country.
Mr.. Parker approved an asset currency.
There was some disappointment on the
part of members of the committee over
the failure of more people to appear to
be heard Victor Morowitz and Horace
White of New York wish to make state
ments, as does the Philadelphia Board of
Trade. through its representatives. but
none of these were present today. In the
absence of any definite engagement the
committee took a recess until Friday,
but will be called together tomorrow il
witnesses appear for hearing.

CHEAPER ELECTRIC LIGHTS
MAY GET RATE OF TWO AND
oNE-HALF CENTS.
Amended Proposal to Be Included
in the Sundry Civil APP
preparation Bill.

The cheapest electric light rate IN the
United States will be clinched for the
government by the inclusion. in the sun
dry civil appropriation bill. soon TO be re-
ported of a provision authorizing the
Secretary OF the Treasury to make con-
tract with the Potomac Electric Light
and Power Company to supply all govern
ment buildings in Washington and their
annexes with electric current for lighting
and power purposes The present rate to
private consumers is 10 cents per thou
sand kilowats The present rate to the
government is 6 cents. The new govern
ment rate will be 20 cents.
In r report to the sundry civil subcom-
mittee of the House committee on appro-
priations the Secretary of the Treasury
recommends that Congress authorize him
Ito enter into negotiations with the loca!
company for electric current for light and
power TO all government buildings and
annexes except those directly under legis-
latve control in the District of Column
bia. and II in his judgment the rate
quoted by said company for such service
shall be sufficiently advantageous to en-
ter into contract with said company
Upon this recommendation the Sundry
civil subcommittee has had several hear
ings. at one of which Gen. George II.
HarrfeS. president of the Potomac Elec-
trio Light and Power Company, was heard
In the sundry civil bill of last year there
t was a paragraph included which provided
that mo appropriation heretofore made
| for the construction or equipment of any
executive or municipal building i'm the Dis
| trict of Columbia shall be expended for
the production OF electricity for light and
| power unless in the judgment of the Sec
rotary of the Treasury such necessary
current cannot be obtained at less cost. "
A Careful Investigation.
Acting under that authorization the Sec
-etary made careful inquiries and has re-
ported to the appropriation subcommittee
| that "a central authority or contract
agent. empowered to act for all executive
and municipal buildings in the District.
| would be able to obtain a rate sufficiently
advantageous to warrant the government
entering into an arrangement with the
local company based on aggregate current
consumption for all such buildings. A
tentative proposal of the company to sup
ply all government and District buildings
at present under contract with current at
the rate they are now paying and to take
on all additional buildings at 21a cents,
indicates that a rate at least as low as
the latter figure and possibly lower could
be obtained on the aggregate consumption
basis" When Gen. Harries appeared be-
fore the subcommittee he confirmed in a
general way these figures.
i The proposal as amended and as it will
in all probability be contained in the bill
to be reported by the sundry civil sub
committee is for the government to pay
million hours and 2h cents per thousand
kilowat hours for each additional million.
There Is some hope that the rate may be
made even lower than this.

Women Who Wear Well.

1t is astonishing how great a
change a few years OF married
lite often make in the appearance
and disposition of many women.
The freshness. the charm. the
brilliance vanish like the bloom
from a flower which is rudely
handled. The matron IS only 4
dim shadow. a faint echo of the
charming maiden. Few young
women appreciate the shock OF
the system through the change
which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to
deal with the unpleasant pelvic
drains and weaknesses which too
often come with marriage and
motherhood. not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing
the cheek OF its freshness and the
form of its fairness.
AS surely as the general health
suffers when there is derangc-
ment of the health OF the delicate
womanly organs. so surely when
these organs are established in
health the face and form at once
