practically an offset for the one-half-
cent increase allowed by the commits
sion in the price charged for electric
current.
cost at the Benning plant would be
much greater than 1t now. is but for
the fact the company has expended
large sums for making the plant as
efficient as possible.
Questions Witness.
Engineer Commissioner Kutz, chair
man of the commission, early sought
to develop Mr.. Hams opinion as
whether, in the event the commission
should decide to revise electric rates
downward. the reduction should apply
uniformly to all classes of users. The
witness replied he did not think there
should be q reduction in the wholesale
rate under any conditions.
"If q reduction is ordered, Is 1t your
opinion it should apply only to retail
users?" ythe chairman asked.
Mr.. Ham said it should apply to
users other than the wholesale buyers.
In beginning his testimony Mr.. Ham
stated that it never had been the COM
pany,s intention to increase the retail
rate. He reviewed developments lead
ing up to the existing charges, pointing
out that in 1917 the Public Utilities
Commission reduced certain retail
rate, without altering the wholesale
rate. These changes continued until
the company was forced by reason OF
greater operating costs to ask for re-
lief. Its petition at that time. he said.
was for authority to insert coal
clause" in its wholesale contracts. un-
der which the wholesale rate would be
governed by fluctuations in the cost OF
coal, Wholesale users objected to this
plan on the ground that 1t would place
the entire burden upon them Of meet
ing increased cost of operation.
The commission, he stated, needed
the plea Of the large users Of current
and increased both the wholesale ana
retail rates, whereas the company had
desired an increase only in the whole
sale rate.
Same Operating Costs.
Mr.. Ham said that operating costs
nracticaliy are the same today as when
the commission put the 8h.cent rate
into effect. The company. he stated,
will nay an average Of $3.50 q ton for
the coal 1t uses this year, whereas In
1917 it bought coal for $3.c5. He said
| 1t would be impossible to furnish cur
rent to large consumers under FORMER
prices without incurrtng loss.
The view was expressed by Mr.. Ham
that an per cent rate Of return ID
reasonable and should be allowed by
l the commission. In other 5urisdfc-
tions commissions generally have held
| that this Is reasonable rate, he said.
It was suggested by the witness
too rigid . ruling es to the rate Of
return to be allowed until the courts
have disposed Of the question OF valu-
alton.

PRINTING OFFICERS
| TESTING NEW PLAN
Seek to Solve All Problems by
Important Weekly Con-
ferenceS.

Plans for the Standardization Of
divisions of the government printing
office and Capitalization Of effort have
worked QUITO such an extent that a per-
manent interdivisional conference has
been established, it was learned today.
At this conference, which is held each
Monday, the public printer and off,
cials Of the front office" meet with the
foremen and officials Of the divisions
to discuss and handle jointly any prob
lens confronting them.
New Plan Time-Saver.
This plan, which was inaugurated
by Public Printer George H. Carter
shortly after taking Office, presents a
miniature Of the proposed conference
on printing for government depart
ments. Instead of the problems Of the
various divisions of the government
print shop falling upon the shoulders
of a particular foreman and the public
printer for disposition. they are taken
up and considered as to their relative
merit in other divisions.
For instance. matter comes up re-
garding paper. The purchasing df-
vision feels the first brunt of the
problem. Instead of the public
printer comforting first with the chief
of the purchasing division and later
with other chiefs as to the result a
certain type of paper will bring, the
whole thing" is taken up at the Mon
day conference. There it is discussed
from every angle.
In regard to the big interdepart-
mental conference on printing, as sug-
gested by Public Printer Carter to
the President and to the director Of
the budget, it is stated that each de-
partment under the present plans
handles its work independently Of all
other departments with the public
printer. If the work for all depart
ments were graded and standardized
according to adopted specifications,
the paper, the size and similarities of
many other ingredients entering into
the creation of printing work would
bring a large saving.
Uniform Standards Needed.
The plan suggests that represents
tives Of the various departments and
establishments of the government sit
in the conference empowered to rec
ommend and adopt certain uniform
standards, business-1fke methods and
proper economies in the public print
ing and binding.
Thus is it that the government print
shop is trying out. on q small scale,
and finding successful. the plan
which may be adopted for all Of
Uncle Sans departments in WASH
ington-

Effect Of LAUGHTER on Health.

Most happy is the effect Of laugh
ter on the circulation A good laugh
is virtually a series of spasmodic ex-
pirations These forcible chest move
ments cause a partial closing of the
CLOTHS which increases the pressure
within the thoraX and so impedes the
entry of blood from the veins into the
heart. This effect is discerned in the
tureidity of the head and neck. In

inspirations tend to expand the lungs
with air and to draw off the blood
from the veins of the heart.
