TALKS TO STUDY CLUB.
DR.. Abram Simon Tells of Dramatic
Needs in America,

Need for dramatic development in
America, similar to that embodied in
the new free folk stage idea of Berlin,
was expressed by DR.. Abram Simon in
an address before the Study Club of
the Washington Center of the Drama
League at the Public Library last
evening. DR.. Simon pointed out the
cheapness with which dramas could be
thus produced to meet the needs of the
working classes.
The American democracy has not yet
properly expressed itself through the
drama. said DR.. Simon. He expressed
the hope that in the near future some
benevolent persons of artistic tempera-
ment would father" such a plan as
that in Berlin.

Local Prohibition. ~

The organized influence of the Ger
man population of Washington is being
exerted to prevent the passage of the
Sheppard bill to prohibit the manufac-
ture and sale Of liquors in the District.
The United German Societies has au-
thorized the circulation of petitions
throughout the city to Illustrate the
effort to impose prohibition upon the
National Capital. These urge the citi-
zens to importune members of Congress
to accede to their wishes and best in
terests and not foist this Legislation
upon them.
These petitions set forth that:
There are now pending in the SEN
ate and House of Representatives bills
providing for the complete prohibition
of the manufacture, sale. importation.
possession and use Of all kinds OF
liquors in the District Of Columbia.
"One Of these bills, the Sheppard pro-
hibition bill, Senate bill 1882, has been
reported by the Senate District COM
mittee without any hearings having
been accorded citizens of the District

"The United German Societies of the
District of Columbia, representing
thousands of citizens resident in this
District, oppose prohibition as pri-
walton of the inherent rights and an
unwarranted interference with their

lutely unnecessary measure in such a
temperate community as the District
of Columbia, and upon other social and
economic and legal grounds.

Company's Request Considered.
Suggests Decision on Merits.

In response to it's original request
the commission informed the company
that this matter would be considered
in connection with the survey being
made of traffic conditions generally
The railway company replied that the
situation is one which should be de-

jet of stops generally. and Suggested
that prompt action would lead to an
improvement in conditions
at this point.

Strawberries Drop 5 Cents
Quart-Green Peas Appear.

Supplies of fruits and vegetables are
increasing but slowly in the local mar

sort of in-between season in the south
ern country. from whence Washington
now is drawing much Of its supplies.
Strawberries are, however, an excep-
ton, and in the past week the supply
of them has increased, SO that today
they are selling at cents quart
cheaper than a week ago. Green peas
have appeared in the market and are
selling at 81 to $3.50 a pint, price
rather too high for the average pocket
book. Rabbits, squirrels and wild ducks
and geese have disappeared from the
market benches, the season for them
having ended.
Eggs remain steady in price. in s.Ete
of the fact that the wholesale market
advanced in price during the week.
With the coming YARN weather the

N FAVOR Of REDUCING
NUMBER OF FIRE STOPS
Utilities Commission Announces
Position in Decision Affecting
Department Proposition.

The announcement of the public utili-
ties commission yesterday that it is in
favor of reducing rather than increas-
ing the number of fire stops is likely
to have an important bearing on the
Commissioners consideration of the ap-
plication of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company to abolish fire
stops on all the lines of that company.
The commissions position was an
nounced in an unfavorable report which
1t made on the recommendation of the
fire department that 18th and Clifton
streets and 14th street and Florida
avenue be designated fire stops. Ac-
cording to the utilities board, the pres
ent large number of such stops tends
to retard street car service.
Company's Request Considered.
Commissioner Brown1ow is investi-
eating the railway company's request
and expects to make a recommendation
to his colleagues on the board within
a week or ten days. The traction COM
pany officials say that their~ears make
$4,000 stops a day at the compulsory
designations. If this time could be
applied to, speeding up the schedules
vastly improved service would result
they maintain.
The Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company has requested the public
utilities commission to take prompt ac-
ton on its request to establish a stop
on the south side of + street at 14th
street during certain hours as a means
OF relieving congestion at that point.

HEALTH INSURANCE

Twenty-Five QUE Of every 1000 am
ployees in American industries, accord
ing to recent statistics, are constantly
incapacitated by sickness, the average
worker losing approximately nine days
each year on this account. This "non-
effective rate" for the great army of
industrial workers in the United States
barely suggests the total money loss to
employers and employees. The lessened
efficiency, the effects Of reduced earn
ings in times of sickness, as well as
the cost of medical attention, and the
economic loss from deaths, swell the
cost to industry and to the nation to
almost incalculable figures.
That much Of this loss is nothing
less than preventable waste and that
this waste can be largely reduced by .
