BAGGAGE HAULING
RATES TO Be CUT
Public Utilities Commission
Issues Order-Bases
Action on Earnings.

Rates Of the Union Transfer Com
pany for hauling baggage in the Dis
trict of Columbia will go down to-
morrow in accordance with an order
issued by the Public Utilities Com
mission yesterday afternoon. The
order follows:
THAT the charge to be made by the
Union Transfer Company for the
handling of the first piece of bag
gage in the third zone. now fixed by
order No. 3S9 at $1.50,
be and the same is hereby reduced
to $1.25; that the charge for the first
piece of baggage in the second zone
be reduced from $1.00 to 80 cents. and
ditional pieces Of baggage in the first
zone be reduced from IS cents to so
cents.
THAT all other rates and charges
Of the Union Transfer Company now
in>force. be and the same are hereby
continued in effect for twelve
month period, beginning April l, 1921.
THAT the Union Transfer Company
shall keep such a record OF the number
of pieces of baggage Of each kind and at
each rate as will show the average
volume Of business in each zone dur
ing the period in which the rates
herein established are effective"
In explaining its action the commits
sion states that the evidence shows
that during the calendar year 1920
the company earned 15h per cent on
its valuation as fixed by the commits
sion. During the first eight months
of 1920, when lower rates were in effect.
the company's return was between
II and IL per cent.
These facts show, the commission
believes, that the rates established
last September enabled the company
to materially increase net earnings
despite a reported falling of in the
amount Of baggage hauled during the
last few months.

Western Money Easing Up

The termination of the first half of
the year finds money conditions in the

TO extend accommodations Il little more

that progress, although slow, is gradu-

in the way of food can be obtained. But certain "reminiscences of war re- main. For instance, in the appearance of black bread for breakfast-unless white rolls are specially ordered at a mark apiece-in the badness of the butter-at 32 marks a. pound-in the substitute coffee, and the scarcity of milk:
 In even the biggest hotels it is cus- tomary for guests to keep food in their bedrooms to bring down to the dining hall their own pots of butter or jam; and 1t Is a common sight to see them pocketing the remains of breakfast or tea-pats of butter, Jumps of sugar, a cake, a roll, and even black bread and paper serv- lettes.
 Because taxes are so high hotel pro- prietors seem to have invented every conceivable way of prof1t-making, in cluding that of underpaying their staff. A 15-year-old lift boy, too ashamed for some time to confess what his earnings were, revealed at last that he was getting 40 marks a month (today about two shillings) {; he was the eldest of a family of eight.

Producers See Prosperity Ahead As Result of Re- duction of Output And Curtailment of Extrav agances That Created Cause For General Re- adjustments

world, has just passed was the best possible thing for the screeh. It serv- ed to curtaf extravagance, weed out the tnconpetents in all departments and pave the way for quality pictures in the future, leaving the finances of the industry in far better condition than they ever were before.
 Producers have learned that the public wants only the best in it's screen entertainment. This does not mean the costly and foolish extrava- gance of the past, but rather wise selection of story, cast and producer make the best possible picture"
 According to Milton Hoffman. gen. era1 manager of productions for the Metro Pictures Corporation. "the re- ing made will have g. decidedly bene- ficial effect upon future productions for the reason that really extraordt- nary casts will be possible.
 Another step forward which will serve to greatly improve pictures and reduce the original cost of production has to do with the scenario itself. superfiuous scenes can now be elirni- mated in the writing of the script tn- stead of in the cutting of the film. Writing and filming hundreds of scenes that could not possibly be crowded into a five-reeI picture has not only increased production costs, but too often resulting in jerky, dis connected pictures that showed evil dence of the cutters pruning after the camera had ceased to grind"
 Prosperity Ahead.
 Abraham Lehr, vice president of the Goldwyn Pictures Corporation and in charge of the studios at Gull yer City. said when interviewed:
 "The motion picture industry has reached the turn in the road and prosperity lies ahead. A canvass of the larger Southern California studios shows that production Is back to nor- nal.
 There is a feeling of optimism and confidence in the industry. Its lead CTS are talking progress and have for gotten the recent depression"
 Carl Laemnie, president of the Universal Film Manufacturing Com pany, reflected optimism in discuss ing the present and future of the in- dustry and told the International News Service that "the motion pie ture industry is entering upon the period of it's greatest activity The economic depression has been good for the industry as a whole. While 1t has been bitter medicine for some producers, 1t has shown them the wisdom of business-1tke methods of production and the value of accunu- latinE a reserve for emergencies
 f@The producer who made good pictures economically did not suffer, but the man who offered carelessIy- produced films to the public and wasted money went under with the first tidal wave of industrial re- trenchnnent;"

CHURCH CLUBS TO PARTICIPATE
 IN BIG FAIR

Practically all the clubs and socie- ties connected with the Universalist church will have a part in the big fair supper and sale to be held in the parish rooms on December 7th.

Los Angeles, Nov. IS - Having weathered the storm of readjustm ent | which has been in progress in the | mammoth studios here for the past year, the motion picture industry IS said to be on the threshold of the greatest era in its history.
 This is the opinion of some Of the greatest leaders in the industry. who also agree that the following Is true: l. Future film successes will be masterpieces of art and literature: g. All dead wood has been elirai- mated and production costs will be greatly curtailed.
 8. There will be fewer but better pictures.
 4. The day of great spectacular films calling for ftnlftless extraVa- gance is gone forever.
 '"Nhe motion picture industry has recently passed through the hre or reorganization from which only an alloy of good creative brains ana talent has survived" said Marsha Il Neilan, a widely known producer, In anafyzing the situation for the Inter- national News Service.
 The business today Is on q sound footing than it has ever been since it's inception, and while the process Of elimination has proved painful to many, yet 1t was a move that had to come sooner or later.
 "In the instance of every large film organization in Southern California the output for the coming year has been materially reduced in quantity with the purpose of concentrating on quality of each film produced. This decision was due to the fact that in the past two years there has bSen 8 mad rush to strive for quantity out put to control exclusive showtngs.
 ''The folly of this endeavor was graphically proved to the distributing companies by the theatre owners who insisted upon selecting the best In the market and refusing to book the weaker pictures. This killed the tn- centive to put out quantity and en- couraged the achievement of quality in each film.
 Thus, during the coming year, the pictures themselves are bound to show a marked advance which works out to the advantage of the theatre going public. With higher quality in the pictures themselves, theatre owners who make daily or semi weekly changes of program are en- bookings. It has been proved that It is better to exhibit a picture of real merit that will draw the public for a week than to play two pictures of lesser merit during the week."
 Cecil B. De Mile, director-general of the Famous Players-Lasky Corpor- ation, one of the largest producing concerns in the world. said in an i'm terview:

 What is true of the apple likewise applies to the potato and turnip crops.
 Potatoes can be purchased in Nova Scotia for sixty cents bushe1, and the price is still travelling downward.
