PREPARING TESTIMONY
FOR PHONE RATE PLEA
&c. & P. Request for Present Charges
to Be Continued May Not
Be Opposed.

Officials of the Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone Company are pre-
pairing testimony to be submitted to
the Public Utilities Commission at 10
o'clock Friday morning in support of
the application for continuation of
existing telephone rates during 1921.
In view of the fact that present
rates are netting the company less
than 4 per cent on the value of the
property and equipment used in Civ
ing service it is not expected that
strenuous opposition to the petition.
There are three questions. however,
that William Mex. Clayton, chair
man of utilities for the Federation of
Citizens Associations. purposes to
bring up at the hearing.
They are:
How do existing rates to private
subscribers compare with rates
charged the government?
How do business rates compare with
residential rates.
Should limited residence service be
based on monthly or yearly allow
ance of calls?
AT present limited residence service
is based on an allowance of so calls
month, whether that number of
calls is used in a month or not. Prior
to the war limited subscriber was
allowed 600 calls a year, which means
so a month. Under the former sys-
tenn, however, a subscriber who used
only 40 calls in January could use
use so in February or any succeeding
month.

SEEK EARLIER MAILING.
Postal Clerks Declare Patrons Wait
Until Too Late in Day.

The National Federation of Post
Once Clerks today inaugurated a
campaign to induce postal patrons to
get mail into the post Offices of the
country early in the day.
1t is claimed by officials of the
clerks organization that rs per cent
of ali mail handled in the post Offices
does not get into the hands of clerks
until after o'clock in the afternoon
The practice among business men
* is asserted, of delaying the sign
ing of letters until late in the day
results in a peak-load congestion al
the post Offices. which imposes much
unnecessary night work upon the
clerks.

CANCELLATION OF BRITISH
ALLIANCE FAVORED BY JAPS

Toxic, Nov. 1S.--Some of the lead
ing Japanese newspapers would not
look with disfavor on the cancellation
of the Anglo-Japanese alliance, pro-
vided there are general assurances OF
a continuation of friendly relation
ship. according to many editorials
published today on the Far Eastern
question.
Comment on this phase of the
Washington conference today begun
to overshadow discussion of the Am
erican proposal for the limitation OF
naval armament.
The Nichi Nichi Shimbun, in dis
cussing the Anglo-Japanese alliance,
declared it had outrun its detectives
and that if anything could be said in
favor of its further maintenance this
should take the form of a general
guarantee for the furtherance of An
glo-Japanese friendship.
IF America and Great Britain
really want to cancel the pact, the
Nichi Nichi declared. Japan under
the present circumstances should see
no necessity for insisting on its fur
Their MAINTENANCE"
The Jill Shimpo expressed the opin'
ion that the American attitude was
more for a stricter application of tho
"open door" in China than for the
destruction of the spheres OF inflh-
ence hitherto established by some of
the Powers. This attitude, IN the
event of settlement of the Far East
ern problem, could not be attended
by much difficulty, as some critics
feared, the newspaper declared.

SHERLOCK ouT-sHERLockED

When Postmaster higgins unlock

ed the Stonewall West Va, postof-
flee one morning he discovered that
the place had been burgled some
time in the night. A hasty examina-
ton disclosed that the postoffice till
had been rifled and that the mail
had been tempered with. Several ar
ticles were missing from the stosk of
goods in the store. While engaged
in quick inventory higgins found
a piece of cheese from which the in
truder had take ma generous bite. lie
laid this bit of evidence carefully
away and called in the officers OF tn
law.
Various bits of. circumstantial evil
dence were placed together, all tend
ing to show that the job had been
done by local character named
Taylor. Accordingly he WAS arrested.
The authorities were at loss as to
how the crime could be definitely
charged against him until Postmas-
ter higgins came forward with his
piece of cheese. At his suggestion
the prisoner was made to take gem
erous bite. The marks of his front
teeth were then comared with the
marks left by the teeth of the bur
glar and everybody agreed That Tay-
lor and the burglar were one and the
same. He was convicted and punish
ed as provided by law.

Chicago, NOV. 1S.-The United
States Railroad Labor Board an
nounced tonight that new working
rules for the six 'shopcrafts probably

Class railroads in the country. Only
ninety-four railroads are directly
concerned in the present case, the
others not having their submissions
in proper shape when the case was
taken up, but board members antici-
pated that all the Class1 railroads
probably viii carry out the decision
without further hearings.
The boards statement issued to
night said; "Such satisfactory PRO-
gress during the past week has been

and WORKING conditions for the six

DESPAIR Turks
IN WEAK BLOOD
Guides Pepto-Mangan,
The Blood-Buil6ler,
,Arouses Dull Faculties

Many a man and many a woman
feels all out of sorts from thin, weak
ened blood. The least little thing
gone wrong throws them into wild
form of dependency. Instead of
bracing up and meeting ordinary diff
ficulhes, they are downed. Nerves
are on edge. Appetite lags. Sleep
is restless. They are weak and tired
and dull. Poor blood works its hav-
oc till the will loses its power. Few
people who fall into habits of worry
ind dependency realize that most
OF their troubles are due to lack OF
endurance-to blood that has boone
weakened by overwork or straining.
Healthy men and women with rich
ed blood see things brightly. They
tackle life with zesr and go along
smilingly, full of eagerness and en-
durance.

agreements previously concluded be-
tween China and the Powers.
1T is true" said the newspaper.
that some such agreements were
concluded with Great Britain about
Tibe tand with Japan about military
supplies during the late war; but the
most of them were Intentionally pub
lished or else their contents leaked
out, so that the Chinese suggestion
would in no wise embarrass the Pow
ers."
The Yomf-Uri Shimbun IN discuss
ing the Shantung question, declared
Japan has done everything possible
and that there was little room for
elaborate discussion of the question
The Nichi Nichi claimed that It had
learned that at the latest cabinet
meeting Japan had resolved TO in
sist on her Shantung policy already
defined, and declared the burden Of
negotiations on the subject now rest
ed with China.
The Kokumin-To expressed the
opinion that the question of abolition
spheres of influence would not de-
velop so rapidly at the conference as
that of limitation of ornaments, be-
cause it involved serious considera-
lions bearing on the national develop
ment of the Powers concerned. The
editor of the newspaper said he be-
lieved there WASH more possibility of a
clash of interests between Great Bri-
tain and America in China than be-
tween Great Britain. and Japan.
perhaps Japan and Great Britain
will not hesitate to adjust the ques-
tion If it does not lead to the replace
ment of the existing spheves by that
of America" he remarked.

PATRIOTISM Is
POSTMASTER GENERALS PLEA

In an address before the twenty
third annual convention Of the Ma
tional Association of Letter Carriers
in st. Louis Postmaster General Will
II. Hays said:
"To you all, as fellow citizens of
our common country. l plead for a
patriotism in peace as well as in war.
/ insist that we have not merely that
patriotism born of extremities, which
burns in the souls of men only when
their country is in danger, not the
patriotism which is stirred only by
martial music, but patriotism which
moves men to make their country's
welfare their own business and every
day to realize that we owe to the
country in which W live and which
moves us to discharge that debt by
aiding in every way we can to make
and keep conditions right in this
country"
The Postmaster General has on sew
eraI occasions urged the American
people to support the Governments
peace time savings program by put
ting their savings in Treasury Savings
Securities as an investment-and de-
posting their surplus funds in Pos
tai Savings.
