SCHOOL ASSEMBLY
HALLP[AN PENDING
Dr.. Ba|Iou Considers Class
room Sliding Doors as Sec
ondary Scheme.

AS a means of providing assembly
halls in the public schools. DR.. Frank
w. BalIou, superintendent Of schools
looks with favor upon a plan being
experimental with in Philadelphia
school buildings. where sliding doors
are being placed between classrooms
This permits the classrooms to be
converted into an auditorium by open
ing the DOORS
Under this arrangement, DR.. Ballou
pointed out. classrooms with the slid
ing doors would have to be equipped
with movable furniture. One disad-
vantage OF this scheme, he said, is
that 1t will be difficult to put the
sliding doors in more than two ad-
joining rooms without denying cloak
room accommodations to some rooms.
Dr. Ballou. however. Is not expected
to make any recommendations at the
present time for the installation un-
less Congress refuses to grant ap-
preparations for assembly halls in the
school buildings. The superintendent
head of the District school system
that assembly halls be provided in all
schools of sixteen rooms or more.
DIR. Ballou left Washington yester-
day afternoon for Potsdam. " y,
where he will spend the Thanksgiving
holidays with his parents. He will be
back at his desk Monday morning to
direct the Education week" activities
In Washington. a feature of which
Will be the conference Tuesday night
at o'clock in the Franklin School
between the board of education and

UN[|M|TEDPH0NE
RATE IS CUT TO S.
$4,000 Subscribers Benefit
by Plan O. KID by UtiIi-
ties Commission.

The $4,000 Washingtonians who use
unlimited telephone service have cause
for giving thanks today. as the Utili-
ties Commission yesterday approved
of IA reduction of 50 cents a month in
the cost of that service.
Officials of the Chesapeake and Po-
tomac Telephone Company announced
that the reduction would appear on
the December bills of unlimited sub
scribers Unlimited service will be IS
instead of $3.50.
This rate cut was offered voluntarily
by the company and means a decrease
of S10S, 900 a year in revenue.
The commission stated i'll Its decision
that it would continue to observe
closely the company's earnings. and.
when conditions warrant, consider pos
sible reductions i'll the other classes
of telephone Servit%.
Earnings Above Per Cent.
The decision. In part. follows:
The commission has been following
closely the operations of this company
and is aware of the fact that during
the first ten months of the calendar
year the rate Of return on the fair
value Of its property has been slightly
revenue of $1OS.OO0 now voluntarily
proposed by the company will decrease
the rate Of return by approximately
.01 per cent. However. the commission
does not regard the existing rate of
return of the telephone company as
unduly great. having in mind the
quality of service furnished by this
company. its attitude toward the
public in general and the great value
that efficient telephone service pos
sesses for the entire community.
Sees Help to Service.
''Regardless of the rate Of return and
of the benefit that will accrue to large
body of subscribers by this reduction.
careful study of the entire rate
schedule convinces the commission that
the great increase in the number of
two-party line subscribers has created
denendahiiuy of the service rendered by
the telephone company. and that it has
become imperative to redress these con-
ditions. The change in the schedule
proposd BY the company has been shown
to be the best way to restore, at least
in part, the former relation between the
three classes Of residence subscribers
and thereby to afford to the public In
general the excellent quality of service
to which they have grown accustomed
in the past and which. therefore, they
provided by the company.
The commission will in the future
as in the past. closely observe the earn
ings of the telephone company. and when
the occasion serves 1t hopes to present
to the company such consideration,
justified by the facts as may be in
fluential in promoting warrantable re-
ductions Of such other rates as are not
benefited by the present order"

CAUSE FOR GRATITUDE

Looking intently into the crystal
ball. the soothsayer read why the
fates think some prominent persons
have occasion to be grateful on this
day of Thanksgiving. Here is what
he found:
President Harding-That while
Turkey abroad may not be dis
membcrcd. the big bronze gobbler
at the White House is not protected
by the allies.
Vice President Coolidge-That the
jokcSmiths have pretty nearly cx-
haustcd the subject OF his taciturnity
and that there is nothing else for
them to 'pick on him about.
Secretary of War WeekS-That his
West Point boys did not wait until
after the ball was over"
Senator New Of Indiana-That
misery not only likes company. but
has it.
Gov-elect Alfred f. Smith of New
YOrk-That to the voters OF his state
there was more truth than poetry
in the expression. you know me,
AL"
Senator elect Edwards of New Jer-
sey-That Jersey proved in fact.
when it came to balloting. to be
''as wet as the Atlantic ocean"
Old Father u. C.-That Congress
shows disposition to recognize this
To be the National Capitol and not
merely the municipality of Wash
ington.

CITIES WARNED AGAINST
SEIZURE OF HARD COAL
Fuel Distributor Spens Declares
Practice Tends Toward Chaos
and Shortage.

Federal Fuel Distributor Spens last
night warned communities which
have seized anthracite shipments in
transit through their territory. and
local authorities who have counte-
nanced the step, that such practices
would "only tend toward chaos and
shortage all around"
There is no possibility. the dis
tributor said. that enough anthracite
of the prepared domestic sizes can
he produced this year to supply the
usual normal demand. particularly in
pennsylvania. New York and New
Jersey. but there is ample supply of
substitutes. including bituminous coal.
steam sizes of anthracite, coke and
wood
Increased use of the substitutes for
domestic anthracite must be brought
about. said Mr.. Spens, declaring it
was a fairly simple matter to use
steam anthracite in mixture with the
usual larger sized material.
Domestic users of anthracite in
New York city, he asserted. should
take advantage of the steam anthra-
rite. He pointed out that 1.138 cars
of this quantity were being held
Tuesday in the Hudson river term
inals because there was no local de-
mand for 1t. This situation. he added,
also was holding the railroad equip
;nent out of service when 1t could
be used in handling other coal.

TICKET GONE, OWL
INVADES RESTAURANT
"King Mashie I" Arrives at Golf
Links for His Thanks
giving Dinner.

Just in time to help the public links
golf players celebrate Thanksgiving
day. a mammoth monkey-faced owl
arrived at the golf course In East
Potomac Park some time during the
night.
The owl was caught in the restau-
rant by Sam Miller and AL Farr. The
owl had gotten in through broken
window. He was perched on one Of
the blinds right over the lunch coun-
ter when Miller found him.
Manager Loeffler and Capt. McMor-
ris of the department of public build
ings and grounds have christened the
owl King Mashie l. When Col. Sher-
rill had ordered the cornfleld cleared
OFF near the third hole Of the Potomac
Park grounds thousands of mice and
rabbits had to find L new home. The
owl. Manager Loeffler says. must have
come from the cornfield when his
meal ticket was destroyed.

Briefs Declare Capital Traction
Earns Higher Return Than
w. R. & E.

The Public Utilities Commission is
expected to render its decision to-
morrow or Saturday. denying the ap-
plication of the Federation of Citi-
Zcns' Associations for Il reduction in
fare on the Capital Traction lines.
There is Il possibility that the case
may go into the courts il. as now
seems assured. the commission con-
tinues the present rate of fare to
both companies.
At least William Nick Clayton.
representative of the federation at
the hearing. has indicated that If the
decision is against him he may ask
the organization at its next meeting
to consider an appeal to the courts.
Officials of the commission. 1t is
known. have heard the reports of
possible court action and are pre-
pairing carefully their decision. Be-
fore drawing up its decision. which
Is now in a rough state, the COM
mission fortified itself with Il legal
opinion from Corporation Counsel
Stephens are to its right to maintain
a uniform rate of fare. even though
Company greater earnings than the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company receives.
Court Decisions Quoted.
The briefs submitted by NICK. Clay
ton and Charles T. Clayton of Column
bia Heights also indicated that court
action was being given consideration.
For. In chose briefs. the citizens rep
rcScntatives quote court decisions In
support of their contention that it Is
discrimination to allow the Capital
Traction Company to earn 4 higher re-
turn than is allowed the Washington
Hallway and Electric.
However. the final decision as to
whether the case shall be taken to
court will rest with the delegates
who make up the federation. when
they come to consider the findings of
the commissioners.
Believes Traffic Is Issue.
In its forthcoming decision the
utilities commission again will call
attention to the disruption OF street
car traffic which it believes would re-
suit from two different rates of fare.
Mr.. Stephens has advised the COM
mission that there ia nothing in the
law to prevent them from keeping the
rate of fare uniform and that 1t re-
mains only for the members of the
commission to use their best judg-
ment as to which is in the public in
tereSt-one rate for both roads or
separate fares for each.
