This action by the board was taken
as a result Of a request by Herbert W.
Hatton, a local contracting engineer.
Mr.. Ha,ton said some time ago that the
exigencies which gave rise 10 war
time telephone rates had ceased to ex-
ist. and that therefore. the wartime
rates should be discontinued The COM
mitiee from the Central Labor Union
had also made a like request.
The board, after reviewing the sit
uation, made the following announce
lnent:
And now to wit this ninth day Of
February, A. D., 1920 the above case
having been heard and carefully con-
sidered by the commission aud the
facts alleged in the petition filed by the
complainant in said case having been

dered, by the commission as Follows:
"First-That the Diamond State Tele-
phone. Company continue the pres
cnt rate for telephone service IN the
city Of Wilmington until December 1,
1920, unless In the judgment OF this

stored az an earlier date without detri-
ment to the service or the public.
"Second-That the Diamond State

MATCHESFFTY
DOLLARS ABOX
IN RED RUSSIA

London. Eng, Oct 1s.-Imagins
having a belt OF paper money two
yards wide and long enough to GO
around the earth twice at the equa-
tor.
This helps TO give some idea Of the
amount Of paper money issued by the
Bolsheviks during the first year and
a half Of their regime
The Soviet government Is now is
suing its money in notes Of 5000 and
5000 roubles. because it has so
greatly deprecated that about the
only thing IL is possible to purchase
for 100 rOubles is a box Of matches
When il is remembered that the
nominal value of 100 rOubles is $50
some idea can be gained Of the tre-
mendous depreciation that has taken
place in Russian money
Those who have recently arrived
here from Russia tell amusing, al
though. at the same time, pathetic
stories about the difficulties which
II sounds like a paradox. but it Is
a fact that there is altogether too
much money in Russia just now
and too many different kinds.
One Of the surprising facts is that
the most valuable of all Russian
money at the present time is the note
issued by the government OF the late
ly high value as compared with the
other many issues. and is eagerly
sought for and hidden away when
obtained.
The next int value is the Dom
skiya," issued by the Gunia right after
the revolution Following that is the
eKerensizi," Issued by Kerenslzi. This
money is Insignificant. looking more
like stamps than real money, as il
comes in large perforated sheets OF
20 notes. each valued at five roubles.
The people have long since ceased
tearing off one or two notes when
they make a purchase. They hand
out the whole sheet and speak Of IL
as a yard Of Eerenski-"
Money IS being printed IN Soviet
Russia in six different cities. and
each day three milliards worth Of
roubles are printed. Even this Is not
sufficient to supply the many Soviet
institutions and measures are now
being taken TO Increase the daily out
put TO five milliards.
The Bolsheviks are not at all en-
barrassed by the enormous amount Of
money with which they have flooded
the country. On the other hand they
are printing millions OF roubles every
day and the consequent result Is that
il is daily becoming more and more
Taluesless-
Want Exchange System.
At the last session OF the central
executive committee It was decided
10 take measures toward the imme-
iiate establishment OF an exchange
system whereby goods would be ex-
changed for other goods or labor,
and thus completely abolish money as
3 medium OF barter altogether

FRENCH WOMEN
WEAKENED BY
WORK IN WAR

Paris. France, Oct 1s.-The mobili-
zation Of women in modern warfare is
almost as detrimental IN its effect on
The future OF the human race as is the
actual loss in men killed and perma-
nently MANNED.
This is the conclusion reached by
French doctors during two years
study following the armistice- They
find that the employment OF women
during the war in eZhausting work
formerly reserved for men has seri-
ously weakened their vitality, and
they fear that The next two genera
tons viii suffer. Tho ondition, they
say, holds good in France. England,
Germany and every other country
where the mobilization Of women was
general, and 10 a certain extent in the
United States, where thousands Of
women were employed IN muniuon
works
In France a very large percentage
OF the women and girls who worked
in munitiOn factories during the war
failed 70 apply for work when these
establishments returned to a peace
basis and began manufacturing auto
mobiles and other products Only
few who occupied positions as tech
nical experts sought their old places
again. The employers attribute this
largely 10 the fact that the women
could not bear up under years Of hard
toll though 1t is conceded that thou
sands returned to their homes, their
husbands having been demobilized
following the armistice-

companies only employed wives or
daughters Of Modified male employees
during the war
In the government services and in
many business houses where women
males during the war very
large part Of them remain. chiefly be-
cause they accept smaller salaries
than men No serious attempt has
been made to Gust the women from
their Jobs 10 make places for returned
soldiers, as was the case IN England
As q matter Of fact, there apparently
has been plenty OF work TO 60 around
