ant meeting Friday afternoon with
Mrs. O. G.. Norment. A theatre
party for the Lee county veterans
was arranged at this meeting, for
the afternoon of June B, as a tribute

Extracts were read from the min

were very gratifying for 1t seems
that the u. d. C.'s war record of
service in the World War surpass-
ed any other woman's organization.
The voting strength of the local
chapters at the state convention is
governed now by the number of
members who hold certificates of
membership. The members who
have not gotten these certificates
are urged to leave their membership
application with Miss jeanette
Blount, local registrar, together with
the fee of rs cents to enable the
chapter to be fully represented at

important announcement and the

The name of the giant collier Cy-
clops, missing since March, 1918, with
293 persons aboard, has been stricken
from the registry Of the United states
navy. Thus "hnis" is officially writ
ten to what is probably the most
mysterious chapter in the annals OF
the maritime forces of America
Theories by the dozen have been
advanced in an attempt to explain the
fate OF the big ship, last heard of on
March 4, 1918, when on voyage from
South America to Hampton Roads
with a cargo of manganese she put
In at Barbados for coal. As tho
weather in the area through which
she must have passed was never such
as to give trouble to a ship OF her
size, Il is thought unlikely that she
came to her end by the ordinary
hazards Of the sea.

For weeks after she became over

ships were dispatched from the West

to cruise in the South Atlantic and
the Gulf until the ship herself or
some trace of her wreckage were
found.
These efforts were without avail. A
general call was sent out to all naval
vessels that could be reached, to all

expedition was formed to visit every
West Indian island and every charted
coral reef in the hope OF rescuing
survivors, or at least OF finding some
evidence such as floating spars, life

indicate the fate OF the vessel.

PLAINTIFFS LOSE PLEA
FOR GAS RATE REFUND
Justice Van Orsdel Denies Judgment
Because of Failure to File
Case Before Commission.

Dismissing the appeal of William
Hollis and Sam Goodman from a judg-
ment of the lower court sustaining
the District Commissioners, the Pub
lie Utilities Commission and the
Washington Gas Light Compay in in
creasing the gas rates n the District
from 70 cents per 1000 cubic feet to
95 cents, Associate Justice Van Drsdel
of the Couprt of Appeals, said:
at Is not contemplated that any
resident of the District, feeling him
self aggrieved, may rush into the
courts without first submitting his
case to the Public Utilities Com mis-
sion. The duty of that body is pri-
marily to hear and adjust and, IL
possible. finally to dispose of such
complaints"
Plaintiffs asked the court also to
require the gas company to refund to
them the amount collected from them
in advance of IS cents per 1000 cubic
feet, and to set aside the orders Of
the public Utilities Commission in
creasing the rate. The appeal was
dismissed on the ground that plain
tiffs had failed to lodge their COM
plant with the Public Utilities Com
MISSION.
