BONUS ACTION
Serves Notice on Congress 1t
Plans to Force Vote on
Soldier Legislation.

The American Legion today serv-
ed notice on the House Ways and
Means Committee that it plans to
force immediate action on legisla-
ton to aid the service men.
Franklin D'Olier. national COM
mander, and Thomas w. Miller,
chairman of the legislative commit
tee, both declared that the legion
has waited long enough for Congress
to act"
Congress should not economize at
the expense of the service, both de-
clared.
Calls 1t Obligation.
Addressing the committee dOlier
said: "The overwhelming majority of
ex.seryice men feels strongly that
this Government owes an obligation
TO all persons who were handicapped
either bodily or financially because
of military or naval service during
the recent war.
The American Legion representing
over 100000 eX-service men and
women spoke very plainly on this
point At It's Hatiohdi Soh'Sh@ioh '"Ss

Although this obligation TO the
disabled men, handicapped bodily, was
universally acknowledged it required

JUSTICE GOULD SCORES
POWER COMPANY IN
SWEEPING ED|CT TODAY

Associate Justice Ashley M. Could of the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia today handed down
decision overwhelmingly sustaining the order of the Public
Utilities Commission declaring the valuation of $1l ,231
17O43 of the Potomac Electric Power Company to be
fair one This valuation announced on May 1917
and an appeal made to the courts Immediately fol-
lowing.
July 1917 made reduction in electric light rates from
10 to cents per lowat hour, based upon this valuation
it s indicated that the court will likewise sustain the com
missions action when the before it. There
is little doubt of this.
VIRTUALLY UPHOLDS RATE DECISION.
When the lower rate was announced the power COM
pany Immediately secured Injunction preventing the
commission from putting the rate into effect until
the courts could render decision in the valuation case
refused, the eou practically uphols The rate decision o
the commission. g e = - .,sgssss
Inasnuch as the rate order of the connnnasson was
based upon its finding Of valuation the action Of Justice
Gould in sustaining the commissions valuation virtually
means thSs the court win likewise sustan the commits
sons order fixing electric light rates at cents kowat
hour.
Associate Justice Gould, everywhere conceded to be
one of the ablest jurists produced in the Dc of
Columbia susains the order of the commission
point Not only does he do that but he severely
the Power Company and the Washington Railway and
Electric Company in portions of the decision
EDICT OF FAR REACHING IMPORTANCE.
Justice Coulds decision has overwhelming import
ance because nearly all the points involved in the case be-
fore him are also involved appeals that have been taken
by the Washington Railway and Electric Company and
the Capital Traction Company valuations of their prop
critics made by the Utilities Commission in the last few
months
The decision is particularly Aattermg to Conrad H.
Syme for years the counsel of the Utilities Commission
1t was Mr. Syme who really framed the procedure in all
the valuation and hearings held in the District Of
Columbia
Justice Gould unequivocaly declares that the pro-
ceure of the commission in the Potomac Electric Light
case was logical lawful and without prejudice to the
power company"
The effect of Justice Couds decision if sustained by
the higher courts which the company will presumably
appeal will be give the people of the District of Colum
ba electric light rate of cents per kowat hour and
compel the restoration them of of money already
totaling $l,OOO,OOO.

Private owners have their rail-
roads back. The Government,
which means you and the other
taxpayers, paid full dividends to
the private owners while the Gov
eminent held the roads. The tax
payers carried the roads through
q period when the owners couldn't
possibly have borrowed money,
could not have solved their finan-
cial or labor problem, and when,
without the Governments support,
that is to say, without the use Of
your pocketbook, one-half the rail-
roads, at least, would have gone
bankrupt.
While Government carried these
railroads for the private owners,
nine hundred million dollars Of
your money were spent on those
roads. You hope, perhaps, that
private ownership will show graft
tude. II 80, you hope foolishly.
Private ownership of railroads
means private exploitation of
public necessity. Il means big
profit for big insiders on the things
that the railroads buy. II means
big salaries for people "to be taken
cara off, II means bribing legis-
lators, IL means favoring the big
shipper against the little shipper.

MAGNET Has Many Uses.

A highly important use of a magnet
is that in which it is sometimes en-
poyed to withdraw small pieces of
iron from such out Of the way places
as the human eye. Another use of the
tractive force of magnetism on much
larger scale was that to which it was
put by Edison in his magnetic ore
separator, in which the ore, previously
crushed to a fine powder, is dropped
down a chute past the poles of pow
erful electromagnetic, in passing which
the iron particles of the ore are de-
flected to one side, while the non
magnetic stone dust continues unde-
fiected down the chute. Still another
instance of the employment of mag
netism in a small way is that in which
n magnetized tack hammer IS used In
the manufacture of strawberry baskets
on d large scale in conjunction with a
mechanical device which presents the
tacks, one at a time and head up, to
the operative, thereby greatly facilitat-
ing his work.

Aluminium Brass.

Experiments aimed at developing
the resistance OF brass to the action
of sea water, with a view to its en-
ployment for constructing submarines
in France, have. it is reported, shown
some remarkable results from the adj
dition of aluminium. The internal
structure of the alloy is striHngly
changed by a very small percentage
of aluminium and the color changes
are surprising.
From half of 1 per cent up to 8 per
cent of aluminium gives the brass a
deep golden aolor. If the quantity Of
aluminium is increased beyond per
cent superb rose color results, which
reaches its maximum when the alum-
inum amounts to Z per cent. With 10
per cent of aluminium the color turns
10 q sIlyery white.

DESERVES PLACE IN HISTORY
cecrops, Ilustrious Egyptian, Made
Country an Asylum for the In
noeent and Prosecuted.

With the dawn Of Attic civilization
in ancient Greece, Cecrops, an Egyp-
tian, built town on the site where
later the citadel of Athens rose in
magnifcence. He introduced morals
and judicial regulations, and the coun-
try under his rule became an asylum
for the innocent and prosecuted. From
that time on festivals compacts and
laws extended their beneficial inllu-
once, About 1870 years after him the
phoeniclan Cadmus brought the use
OF letters into Boeotia; and at Thebes
IN the same country, he erected a cita-
del. The greatest lyric poet and the
greatest general Of the Greeks were
Boeotians, but nevertheless this peo'
pie was accused of stupidity. While
their value was not appreciated, their
discoveries were brought TO perfection
by others and more usefully applied.
II IS remarkable that Cadmus,
the father Of learning, who taught
us TO hand down our thoughts TO flu
turity, came into Greece just at a time
when Joshua, the leader Of the
Jews drove the Phoenecian tribes to-
ward the sea and compelled them TO
seek refuge in distant colonies This
act Of a despised people, scarcely
known to Greek historians, was the
occasional cause of all the intellectual
and moral excellence which has arisen
through the influence of literature.
