Says mo. S" Represents
New Prosperous Era

That the era of reconstruction which
now confronts the world and which is
so vital to the future happiness of hu-
manity is indicated and defined by GER
tain numerical values which can be
interpreted and understood by a stu
dent of the occult significance OF
numbers was stated by Miss Isabel B.
Holbrook, national lecturer OF the
Theosophical Society. in an address
last night at Theosophical Hall, l2I6
II street northwest.
The number FIVE. said the speaker, is
typical of this era upon which we are
now entering. The mystic number
three stands for completion and final
ity; four always represents destruc-
ton, while hve stands for reconstruc-
ton. 1t is also the number of nerfec-
non IN nature as it expresses the per-
rect balance between spirit and mat
ter, The lecture was the second of a
series which Miss Holbrook is deIiv-
ering on the science of numbers

JARB0E ASSAILS

Unfair Both to Profess

paraiyzing In It's effects. IL the ore
diction made by Harry o. Jsrboe.
manager Of tho 0ayety Tbeater. who
Is actively opposing tho change.
Mr.. Jarboo fools that tho hundred
per cent increase coming at time
when the war Is over Will mean de-
cided dimlnution In thoator attendance
and Will consequently entail. through
The loss Of revenue. a radical lowering
In the quality standards. both IN per

Qundrppies Allies Tax
1t is hard/ TO ind any defense for
the change" he states, "particlariy In
view OF the fact that while the war
was In progress England and the 9TH
er allies found II necessary to impose
tax OF only FIVE per cent on the the
atrical industry. against Americas tax
OF ten per cent With hostilities con-
cluded, our law makers now propose

Manager Jarboe also calls attention
TO the support given the government by
the theatcrs in the various Liberty
Loan, War Savings Stamps, Red
Cross and United War Work drives.
To these the theatrical profession
not only nd afrt0ff III y
donated their time and the services
of their artists and attaches. but also
literally responded themselves in pro-
viding funds.
Calls Blow Staggering.
According TO authoritative state
ments, Liberty Bonds sales OF more
than $3.50, 900, ,Oo0-more than a third Of a
billion dollars-were made directly
through the efforts OF the theaters OF
the country. There was no thought
of compensation or reward of any
kind. the theaters gladly cooperating
in the patriotic effort for purely un-
selfish reasons. That this staggering
blow TO our welfare should be admin
istered is almost unthinkable.
During the recent Influenza cpl
demtc the theaters were asked to
close, to help keep down the spI cad
of the cOntagion. They willingly COM
piled, losing from five to eight w~eEs
right in the heart Of the season-time
that can never be made up.
''No other line of business was asked
to make such a sacrifice The street
car companies were not asked to stop
their cars, in which there was mucn
more congestion and much greIJef
danger of contagion than in a roony,
well-cleaned theater. The department
stores. which house as many people
in a day as a theater. were not asked
to close. But the theaters were. and
complied with the same spirit that
they uhed in answering the call for
benefits or any other worthy cause.
a 20 per cent tax on theater tickets
is unfair both to the profession and
the general public. 1t is unappreci-
ative of our efforts in the past, ana
is a measure that will react in such a
manner that no monetary benefit will
be derived"

TOLLS RAISED
BY PHONE co.
New Chesapeake and Po-
tomac Rates Effective
at Midnight Tonight.

Arrangements are being made by
the Chesapeake and Potomac Tele-
phone Company to put into effect al
l-;Jl a. m. tomorrow the new schedule
OF rates for toll calls which was an.
nounced December Is. 1915 by the
Postmaster General. and under which
all toll rates throughout the United
states are placed on a uniform basis,
Under the new schedule station
to-station" rate is the basis upon
which all rates for the various classes
OF service are computed. This rate
applies where toll call is made from
one telephone to another without
specifying that 4 particular person is
desired. The rate is determined by
the airline distance between toll
points, and is computed for the initial
talking period on the basis of cents
for each six miles up to twenty-four
miles and 5 cents for each eight
miles beyond that distance.
In addition to the station to-sta-
ton" rate, a "person-to-person" rate.
an appointment" rate, a messenger
call" rate and report charge" are
quoted for calls to points on which
the "station-to-station" rate is Is cents
or more.
The "person-to-person" rate, for
calls where a particular person is
specihed, is about one-fourth greater
than the "station-to-station" rate.
The appointment rate is about one
half greater than the "station-to-
station rate. The 'messenger-caII''
rate is the same as the appointment
rate, plus any necessary charges for
messenger service. The report
charge" is about one-foUrth of the
'station-to-station" rate, and is made
in connection with all toll calls other
than those made on a "station-to-
station" basis, where the connection
is established. but conversation is not
held because the calling or called
party is not present, will not talk or
has no telephone.
The minimum person to person.
rate is 20 cents, the minimum zap
pointment" rate 25 cents. and the
minimum messenger call" rate 25
cents. The minimum report charge
Is 10 cents and the maximum $500.
New evening and night rates ap-
plying only to calls made on a sta
ton to station" basis are also quot
ed. For toll calls made between
$50 p. m. and midnight on a sta
tiOn to station" basis, the rate is
about one-half the station to sta
tiOn" day rate, and for calls made
between midnight and 4:3O a. m. the
rate is about one-fOurth the sta
ton to station" day rate.
For the purpose of applying night
rates the time of day at which the
station to station" call originates
is used. The minimum night rate is
25 cents and day rates apply on
station to station" calls made at
night when the day rate is less than
this minimum. Day rates also apply
on all toll calls made at night on
other than a station TO station"
basis.
The company points out that
where telephone directory informa-
ton rs available, subscribers call
ing should specify the telephone call
number desired in making station
to station" toll calls. Where direc-
tory information is not availa BILE
at the calling telephone. such sta
ton to station calls will be ac-
cepted If the name and address of
the called subscriber is given.
