RELIEF FOR BOTH
SIDES IS EXPECTED
Telephone Company From
Threatened Breakdown; Peo-
pie From Poor Service.
PUBLIC MORE LENIENT

Relief in some form both for the public
and the telephone company, from the
poor service complained of by the for
mer and threatened breakdown of It's
organization due to congestion pre-
dicted by the company, will be the out
come of the rate proceedings before the
public utilities commission, halted tenn
porarily because of the necessity of the
Commissioners attendance upon COM
mittee hearings in Congress.
1t may be stated that the commission
realizes an unusual condition has been
created by the war that calls for a
two-fold plan of action--one that will
lead to an improvement in telephone
service and at the same time enable the
company to furnish the improvement
without operating at loss.
How to devise such plan is the
problem confronting the utilities board
that may require a month for solu-
ton. No member of the board would
hazard guess today as to along what
lines relief will be afforded either
the public or the telephone CORPORATION

Doubt About Time of Resum1ng.

Another element of uncertainty re-
lates to when the commission will be
able TO resume the proceedings. Much
Of the Commissioners time will be re-
quired at Congress in the immediate
future, and other important matters
are pressing which may sidetrack the
rate case for few days, but it is the
intention of the board to take up the
telephone case again at the earliest
possible moment, and, also, to dispose
of the gas company's application for
an increase in rates with the least
possible delay.
When the telephone inquiry is resumed
the commission will introduce its own
witnesses; including DIR. Edward w.
Benlis who made the valuation of local
public utilities for the commission. and his
accounting assistant, Andrew Sangster.
These experts are now studying the data
contained in the tables and exhibits pre-
sented by the telephone company. They
Will also testify in the gas case.

by Geoge NJ. Roberts, superintendent of

District. who is interested in the pro-
posal from a food standpoint
In its early days. when its fleet num-
bered 800 boats, the canal was big
factor in supplying Washington with
food. Rapid rail transportation gradu-
ally diverted this trade. Farmers along
the canal have not depended in the last
few years on the uncertain schedules of
the eighty or more boats that have been
plying this inland water route. How
ever, II the canal should be taken over
by the government and supplied with
400 boats running on a day or night
basis, as has been proposed, Washington
could expect to draw much more extern
sfvely upon the agricultural products of
the immense region between here and
Cumberland. Mr.. Roberts and other Dis
trict officials believe.

tons War Conscience.
STAND WITH THE ALLIES.
By Reducing Consumption People Of
the United States Averted a
Famine at Home in Spite
Of Low Supplies. |T

The fact that the people Of the
United States were able to reduce by
more than one-half million tons their
July, August, September and October
consumption Of sugar proves conclu-
siVely that their war conscience was
thoroughly awakened and that the
country as whole stood ready to fol-
low the injunctiOns Of the Government.
Our normal consumption Of sugar In
the four-month period beginning with
July has been 100000 tons per month,
4 total of 100000 for the quarter
year.
In July, when our sugar stringency
began to reach its height, consumption
was reduced to 100000 tons. In Au-
gust only 325,000 tons went into dis
tE.bution and in September only 279,-
900 tons. In October the distribution
fell to 100000 tons.
II the general public had failed to
Observe the injunctions of the Food
Administration this country would
have been in the throes of a sugar
famine before the end Of August. Our
visible supplies were so low as to bring
great anxiety to those familiar with
the sugar situation. They feared that
Il would be absolutely impossible to
reduce consumption to a point where
sugar would no longer be q mere lux.
Ury In the American diet.
Few accomplishments of the Food
Administration will stand forth so pre-
dominantly as this reduced consump-
ton Of sugar. By it we have been able
to bridge over the period Of stringency
until the new beet and Louisiana cane
sugar crops were in sight
Now the nation is In a position 80
that II we choose we may return to
our normal home use Of sugar, and
Europe, with the release Of ships to go
far afeld, can maintain its recent re-
stricted HatiOns. If, however, those
nations are to increase their use Of
sugar very considerably 1t must be by
cur continued sharing with them
through limiting our own consump-
don.

SCHOOL ON SATURDAY
PROGRAM FOR MARCH
Some Pupils Favor, Others
Oppose, New Plan.

No more helping with the baking of
cookies and other good things to eat
on Saturdays for Missoua school girls;
no more longing for that day of rest
that day OF real sport when lessons
are forgotten--for the boys. Next
Saturday, classes in the city schools
will be held as usual.
Some are glad. To them Saturday
means only drudgery. So they well
come a chance to keep on with their
school work. To some vacation start
ing week earlier in the spring, means
much that Is pleasant.
Saturday classes will be held in the
schools until the end of March. Sum
mer vacation will begin earlier as a
result OF the new plan.
Reports from different city schools
indicate that the majority of the stu
dents favor the new idea. Some are
reluctant to conform with the rul-
ing that lessons must be had on Sat
urday. All are curious to know how
it will seem. Most of the student OPP
position has come from boys who have
regular Saturday jobs.
