SEEK PEACH PITS
FOR GAS MASKS

Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts. and Camp

were given the biggest war service
opportunity that has yet come to
them. They are asked by the Gov
ernment TO begin a city-wide collec-
tion OF nuts and fruit pits for use In
the manufacture Of gas masks >
A shortage of cocoa-nut shells,
from which carbon for the manufac-
ture OF masks principally has been de-
rived. has made II imperative that
q substitute be found Two hundred
peach seeds or seven pounds OF or
dinary nuts, II has been ascertained
will furnish enough carbon for one
mask.
Mrs. Ellen p. Dabney, directing
home demonstration work in the
District for the Department Of AgrI-

special task OF visiting hotels and

canvasses Of homes. II Is believed
that collections In the District alone
during the next two or three weeks
will make possible tho manufacture

MUST CHARGE TO
INSTALL PHONES

Conservation Of labor and materials
is the reason advanced today for the
issuance Of an order by Postmaster
General Burleson requiring all teie
phone companies TO make a charge
for installing new phones OF chang
ing the location Of old ones.
The new ruling provides that a nat
charge OF s. be made for installing
a telephone where the service rate Is
50 per month or less. Where the
rate IL more than 81 but does not ex-
coed 81 per month, an installation
charge of $40 shall be made, and a
charge OF SIS viii; be made for in
staIling 4 new phone where the serv-
ice rate Is in excess OF 81 per month.
This IL a new item of expense for
prospective telephone users in the
District OF Columbia. Under its regu-
lations previously in force. the Chesa-
peake and Potomac Telephone Com
pany made no charge for installing
new phones.
Under the new ruling. service rates
will remain the same. The ruling will
have Q tendency to discourage "hy-by-
night" subscribers, and win result in
a decided saving in labor and ma
terials. administration officials stated.
Another provision Of the new order
is that OF . moving charge to be made
subscribers who change their tele-
phone locations.
According to the statement issued
yesterday from the office OF Post
master General Burleson this moving
charge will be the actual cost of f7abor
and material necessary for making
the change. Such a charge has al
ways been made by the Chesapeake
and Potomac Telephone Company, and
officials of the local company do not
feel that tho new order will material
Iy affect their charges for such serY-
ice.
All changes in service rates must
be submitted TO the Postmaster Gen
eral for approval before becoming
