There was d decided fall off i'll the past
week in the number of applicants for

UTILITIES COMMISSION
TO MEET NEXT MONTH
Anacostia Car Service and Taxicab
Charges First to Be
Considered.

Consideration of number Of public
utilities matters, among them the
adequacy of the service rendered by
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company on its Anacostia line, will be
commenced early next month by the
public utilities commission.
Both Commissioners Siddons and
Harding will have returned from their
vacations in time to be present at the
hearing to be given by the board Sep
TENDER 8 for the purpose of consider
ing the needs of the Anacostia service.
The former is expected back in Wash
ington Thursday of this week. Imme-
diately following his arrival Commits
sioner Newman will leave for a three
week vacation in the west.
To Consider Taxi Charges.
One of the questions to be taken up
by the utilities board this fall relates
to taxicab charges. The properties of
the taxi concerns have been valued,
and the commission will determine
whether the rates for service are to be
lowered. 1t is hardly probable this
matter will be disposed of before the
return of Commissioner Newman.
WORK on the preparation OF the DIS
trict's annual estimates will be COM
menced in September, the Commissioners
desiring to get an early start on this job
SO they will have time to consider thor
oughly the Districts needs and obtain
the views of citizens associations as to
improvements most needed in the various
localities.
Annual reports by the various depart
ments of the local government will be
submitted to the Commissioners this year
much earlier than heretofore. The sun
dry civil bill this year contains a pro-
vision that such reports must be in by
November 10, else they will not be re-
ceived at the government printing office.

Resistance To Electricity.

Great prominence IL given here TO
reports OF experiments by DIR. Vonn
Pfungen OF Vienna. showing the pro-
tective resistance OF the human skin
against an electric current
Normally the resistance averages
from 10000 to $4,000 ohms. In the
morning. owing to the accumulation OF
food residue In the intestines the re-
sistance amounts TO 10000 ohms. In
persons suffering from nervous anxi-
ETY. IL decreases to 5000 ohms and
even to 1000 ohms In cases OF hys-
teria.
Won Pfungen's experiments are de-
scribed as proving the oft-observed
fact that the effect OF an electric shock
when II is expected is much less Sc
rlous than when It is unexpected, so
electlclans are psychlcally better
protected against any shocks they re-
ceive.
Won Pfungen also measured a hu-
man beings emotional feelings by the
electric current. An art student sat
gripping carbon electric connected
with a galvanometer. To begin with,
his electrical resistance was 10000
ohms, but when he began to turn the
