UNIFORMS FURNISHED
FOR HOOVER'S STAFF
Women Workers Appear in Red,
White and Blue Gowns.

Fifteen women workers In the office
of DIR. Ray Wilbur, head of the food
conservation department of the food
administration under Herbert Hoover,
appeared yesterday in the red, white
and blue uniforms of the CAited
States Food Administration. 1t is GUS
tomary to see all types of men uni
formed for government work. But the
enrolling and uniforming of millions
of American women for patriotic SER
vice in food conservation, of which
this is but a beginning, is a new and
spectacular thing.
Believing that working for food con-
servation would give her a long looked
for chance to do her bit of war time
work, Jessie NJ. Smith. a pretty school
teacher of New Castle, Pa, came
down to Washington and offered her
services during her summer vacation
at the headquarters of Herbert
Hoover.
Il locked my school house door at
the end of this term. determined to
spend my vacation and the money ]
saved through the winter in Washing
ton working for the food administra-
ton. In this way l will not only ac-
quire this valuable knowledge for my
self and be qualified to teach it to my
pupils this winter. but my services
given free. may be of some help in
this wonderful patriotic movement

RAILWAY COMPANY
ASKS FOR HEARING
Corporation Seeks Representation
in Electric Rate Case.

Statements apparently contradictory
were made by officials Of the Potomac
Electric Power Company at the rate
hearing before the Public Utilities
Commission yesterday in the District
Building.
Under cross-examination by Attor-
ney Syme, corporation counsel for the
District. Mr.. Ham stated that "ele-
ments In act of May 8, 1917, modify
ing the public utilities act, contained
matter which did not appear in the
act when he was examined at a pre-
vious hearing on the valuation of
the company"
Questioned by Commissioner Brown
low as to whether he agreed that new
notifications had been inserted into
the act, Mr.. Ham was compelled to
admit that such was the case.
At a later point in the proceedings,
Mr.. Barber stated he did not share
Mr.. Hams view on that subject. The
corporation counsel for the District,
Conrad b. 'Syme, at this point de-
clared that there must be some mis-
understanding in regard to the ques-
ton, and that either Mr.. Ham or Mr..
Barber was misinformed.
The statement was not denied, and
no attempt was made by the officials
of the electric company to prolong
the issue.
Evidence was introduced in the
morning session to support the con-
tentlon of the company that it would
be impossible, in the face of present
conditions, to fix fair rate of re-
turn on the value of the company.
A petition was filed by the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Company
that the company be admitted as
party respondent to the hearing. The
company asked that the questions of
the rates of both the power and cleo
trio companies be taken up simulta-
neously, as any attempt to alter the
rates of one company without con-
sidering its effect on the other would
amount to a destruction of the COM
pany's rights in contravention of the
law.

SEASONED FIGHTERS
AT Fl. MYER CAMP
Soldiers of Fortune Prepare for
Uncle Sans Service.

Among the 1850 student officers at
the Fort Myer Reserve Training
Camp, there are at least half a
dozen soldiers Of fortune. whose deeds
of valor surpass those of any hero
of Richard Harding Davis novels.
They have fought under dozens of
different flags, some on opposing sides
in the successive revolutions which
have marked Mexico's stormy days
since the abdication of Diaz. Others
have held commissions during the in
surrections Of the Central American
Republics.
One of the most noted OF these
officers Is Cap. Charles Sweeny Of
the Foreign Legion. Leaving West
Point in his third year, Cadet Sweeny
served as an officer in Central Ameri-
can countries whenever and wherever
there was any big scrap in progress.
The outbreak of the war In Europe
found him in France, where he
promptly Joined the Foreign Legion.
His daredevil recklessness and mill
tary aptitude soon won the recogni-
tion of the French government. For
the spectacular capture of a German
trench with only a dozen men, he was
commissioned a captain, the highest
rank held by any foreigner In the
French army. In this battle he was
severely wounded. Soon after the
United States declared war on Ger
many, he expressed the desire to
serve with his own countrymen. This
permission was readily accorded, and
he has been recently commissioned a
major in the reserve corps.
Mai Henry A. c. deRubio is another
soldier of fortune now in training
at the camp who has won distinction
under numerous flags. He is Brook
lyn man. For the past ten years he
has been almost continuously a
soldier under one flag or another in
Mexico. Central America and the
Philippines. In his application for ad-
mission to the Fort Myer Camp after
the questions as to what his occupa-
tion was, he quite naturally wrote,
soldier"
John Crum, who served In the
trenches in France, and like Captain
Sweeny, is a member of the Third
Company of student officers, fought
in Maderos army against the Diaz
forces.
