Montgomery, November 4-(Special)-- Montgomery women are disgusted with the gas service and do not propose to stand for another increase in rates until the receiver of the company now furnish ins the service can meet the needs and demands of the gas consiimers This notice was served on the public service commission Thursday by committee of women representing the city Federation of Womens clubs and various women s organizations. This committee, composed of Mrs w. ] Hanna Mrs. A. l.. Can leiou, Mrs. sidney G. Well. and Mrs. 2. B. Waldo informed the commission that the company had broken all of It's promises and was furnishing an inferior service which is far below the needs of
 Mrs. Waldo, as an individual consumer and as the representative of Montgomery housewives, told the commission the limit of patience had been reached and that if necessary the, women will dis continue the use of gas entirely and will go back to the old coal stoves until the gas company can meet the needs of the consumers.
 In addition to the women, the city of Montgomery and chamber of com merce also protested against the increase.

JEFFERSON-'THE GIRL
 IN THE LIMOUSINE

To equal the pace set by such farees as Fair and Warmer. and Twin Beds is not easy. but The Girl in the Limousine" ranks with these success ful plays as smart comedy.
 With bewitching Emma Bunting and the capable company which presen -ed this play at the Jefferson theatre lasl night, all the requirements were met for one of the most laughable perro4m- : anees witnessed at that theatre m a long time.
 The piece is brimming over with .cleverness. and there is hardly dull moment. while every member of the cast without exception gives full value to the lines and situations. It IS a bedroom farce,' to be sure, but It Aas new twist that is as original as itls amusing. Rather. the.e are many twists, and complications follow fast one upon another, that laughter IS al most continuous. The action is swift and exhiliaratiug. and if there ere times when an old fashioned person might be embarrassed. everyone .n- volved is innocent of wrong intent That makes a great deal of difference at least on the stage. There was a time when The Girl in the Limousine might have been described as not proper for the young person" Nova : days the young person. is so sophisti- cated that it is no longer possible to draw the line of demarcation. It is cer- tain that every body in the Jefferson theatre last night was' vastly enter- tained by one of the breezest and hest acted comedies that has ever been pre- sented here.
 It would not be fair to tell pros- pective patron all the ins and outs of the plot, but it will not be amiss to give some idea of its originality. As Tony Hamilton was speeding in his car on a stormy night to attend a house. warming party by two friends of his. Betty and Freddie Neville, he picks up
