RAISE IN PHONE
RATES FOUGHT
Long Threatened Clash
Over c. & P. Co. Resi-
dence Charge in Court.

The iong-threatened fight between
telephone users In this city and the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company over the increase of from
81 to IS monthly for "unlimitcd" resi-
dence telephones was begun IN the
District Supreme Court yesterday.
Tho outcome which probably viii
not be known before next fall. when
the court resumes it's regular ses-
sions. Will effect every user of ..~un-
limited" residence telephone service
in the city.
The attempt to raise the rate BY
going over the head Of the PublIc
Ctiliues Commission Is equivalent
to the confiscation Of property with
out due process OF law. Is contendsd
by W. B. Westlake, president of the
Federation of Citizens Associations,
and Washington Topham. Charles A.
Baker. Jesse C. Suter and Lucius B.
in their petition for an in
junction against the telephone com
pany.
BurIeson . Codefendaut.
Postmaster General Burleson In
named as a codefendant. The suit
was filed yesterday by Attorneys
William Mex Clayton, R. h Yeat-
man and Wilton J. Lambert.
Burleson. according to the petf-
tion- has ignored or else set aside
the rate OF 81 monthly. Such a rata
once fixed by the Public Utilities
Commission. it Is argued, Is as eff
fective as il Congress itself had fixed
such a rate. the commission being
empowered by Congress to nx such
rates.
Cite Law I'm Case.
Since May 1. 1919, the petition al
leges. the Chesapeake & Potomac
Telephone Company has been. and
now is. attempting to put into ef-
feet the new schedule Of IS, although
the increase has not been approved
by the Public Utilities Commission,
nor has it even been submitted for
approval
The law itself requires such action
before any new rate can be put into
effect. The telephone company has
no legal right whatever, it is stated,
to collect or attempt to collect, the
extra dollar when the old rate of 81
monthly has never ben legally
changed to IS monthly.

DOCTORS Use
CALOTABS FOR
COLDS And FLU
Influenza and Grippe, Like Ordinary
Colds, Require Calotabs, The
Purified and Revned Calomel
Tablets That Are Neusea-
Ia less, Safe and Sure

Physicians and druggists claim that
the great epidemic of influenza has
conclusively demonstrated that the
quickest relief for a cold and the
best preventive of influenza and
pneumonia is to keep the liver active
so that the digestive organs may be
in perfected condition. For this pur-
pose Calotabs, the new nausealess
calomel tablets that are free from
the sickening and weakening effects
is the most thorough and dependable,
as we'll as the most agreeable laxative.
Calotabs have the special advant-
age of not making the patient sick
and weak, as they do not upset the
digestion and appetite. One Calotab
at bedtime with a swallow of water
that's all. No salts, no nausea,
nor the slightest interference with
your eating, pleasure, or work. Next
morning your cold has vanished your
liver is active, your system is puri-
fled, and you are feeling fine with a
hearty appetite for breakfast.
For your protection, Calotabs are
sold only in original sealed packages,
price thirty-five cents. Sold by all
druggists, and your money back if you
are not delighted with them. adv

BC the way, one Of the earliest and
strongest arguments for woman suf-

women from the financial bondage that
they were under to their husbands 80
years ago. All that a woman had then
practically belonged to her husband.
Wendell Phillips, in his address at the

1851, called attention to curious case
that had lately occurred in this state.

hours Thursday night and long after
the groggy minute hand of the big
clock back of the speakers desk had
HIggested past midnight the barrage
was lifted and the battle was over
and drawn.
Facts were stated and figures quot
ed to show that the cost of pavement
laid by the state department was al,
out OF reason. that it's specifications
were wrong. that il threw its business
into the hands of patented paving
companies. that the little man had no
chance, and that different counties
had laid pavement just as good for
half the money.
Then came the highway commission
with its figures in refutation. They
contended that the facts alleged did
not square with comparative condi-
tions. that the county pavements were
not up to state standard. and that the
tate had got more than a dollar in
roads for dollar spent.
1t was an interesting discussion
but not conclusive, until all the data
