Joan OF Arc and Sex and Com
mon Sense" book written
since the war and just published
in its first American edition
by G. p. Putnam's Son.
In the first chapter OF this book
Miss Royden deals quite frankly
with the "Disproportion OF the
Sexes"
But you cannot suppose" she
writes, that of 100000 surplus
women these are all celibates.
Among the number how many are
young widows. girls who were
engaged to marry men now dead,
and how many whose natural vo-
cation was marriage, mother
hood. home making. and all that
Is meant by such as these? II
this be the normal vocation of
the normal woman. how many of
these have been deprived of all
that seemed to them to make life
worth living? Is 1t astonishing
II they rebel? II they determine
to snatch at anything that lies in
right to motherhood when they
want children, or the satisfaction
of the sex instinct when that
need becomes imperious?"
When asked Miss Royden
what her solution to this problem
was, she said: well, there will,
OF course, always be a type of
woman who loves her work, who
finds in her career what she
might have found in home and
love of husband and children.
For the other type we must be
broad, we must try to UNDER
stand"
This is, indeed, O broad state
ment from a woman, but the
richness OF Miss Royden's soul
had been brought out through a
chapter in painted Windows" a
book written by the same anony-
nous author OF THE Mirrors OF
Downing Street"
Miss Royden's memoirs, II
they are ever written" says this
author, would have, I think, the
rather unusual merit of pleasing
both saints and sinners; the
saints by the depth and beauty
OF her spiritual experience. the
sinners by her freedom from
every shade of cant and Nv ner
strong, almost masculine SYM
pathy with the difficulties Of our
human nature"

But in the "Clinic for Souls"
other questions besides drinking
and smoking and marriage are
discussed. Because Miss Royden
does not point the finger of scorn
or try to reform many of the girls
who como to her, other subjects,
subjects which affect their every
day life, come UP.
II remember we had very In
teresting discussion shortly be-

sorts of problems when once we

Although the Church Of Eng
land does not sanction divorce,
Miss Royden broadly proclaims
her belief in this step.
Sacred as / hold the tie OF
marriage" she said, IL believe in
divorce where marriage proves a
hopeless failure. And, OF course,
that means I believe in remar-

1t was at the National Board OF
the Y. w. G. A. at No. 500 Lex
ington Avenue that Miss Royden
expressed her creed not only with
her lips. but with her clear brown
eyes, her frank, wholesome man
ner and broad outlook upon life.
Although Miss Royden has been
slightly lame since her birth, there
is something athletic and even ro-
bust about her. like all true Eng
lish women, she INDUCES in swim
ming, rowing and outdoor games.
Add to this spirit OF sturdy
womanhood a rich spiritual voice
and keen understanding of life
and you have just a faint idea

of London, who is in her forty

''The reformer's finger Of Scorn
leads to no mans land.
"Fhe cordial hand grasp takes
you oUer the top"
That is the creed of Miss A.
Maude Royden, London's first
woman preacher. Miss Royden is
the youngest daughter Of the late
Sir Thomas Royden, First Baronet
of Frankly Hall, Birkenhead, and
is pastor of the Guild House Con
gregational Church in Eccleston
Square, London. She has been the
guest of John d. Rockefeller jr.
for the last twenty-four hours and
is now on her way to Hot Springs,
Ark. to be principal speaker of
the Young Women's Christian AS

convention.

In speaking OF the change in
England's religious attitude since
the war, Miss Roydcn said you
might divide the people into three
classes: Those who believe in
"eat, drink and oe merry, for to-
morrow We die" those who must
have an absolute faith in a better
life, and those who had gone in
for spiritualism.
Personally, have had little
experience with splritualism," she
said, when referred to Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle, but be-
lieve it has been a great comfort,
a new religion, to many English
people. II seems TO be a case OF
human mind helping human
mind"
The evening world., 1922-04-19

Miss Royden's path to the min
istry has not been "A rosy one.
The Church of England does not
believe in women preachers and
the Bishop of London forbade her
to preach. But If the service is
not statutory one a rector may
invite any one to his pulpit, and 1t
was the rector of 81. Botolph who
first invited Miss Royden to his
pulpit four years ago.
Since that Miss Royden, who
WAS educated at Cheltenham
Ladies' College and Lady Mar
Earet Hall. Oxford, has held many
important positions. She was as
sistant preacher at the City
Temple from 1918 to 1920;
founder with DR.. Percy Dearmer
of the Fellowship Services at
Kenslngton, and is now pastor c
the Guild House Congregation
Church, where she also conducts
"Clinic for Souls"

Naturally, Margot Asquith's
name came up, but Miss Royden
smiled and said: 'T do not wish
to give my opinion OF Margot"
In speaking of Lady Astor, Miss
Royden said: "That wonderful
woman is highly thought of In
England"
Miss Royden does not think
that John Bull would approve OF
Prohibition at all. Prohibition
would not do in England, fear"
she said. AN Englishman wants
his own jolly way about every
thing. or course, have not been

Always a passionate feminist,
Maude Royden threw herself into
the Suffrage movement at ITS
critical stage in England, was
editor of the Common Cause and
made us a visit in 1911 to get a
few, of our viewpoints. During
the war she did much Tor the
youth OF the country, and was
especially sympathetic with tie
young girls OF the age. II is IN
hCr cline, where she discusses
the life problems OF yuun- iris
to-day, during the aftermath OF
war. that she most thoroughly
enjoys her ministerial career
"A minister, especially
woman minister, must not try 20
reform people, but 10 Understand
them" Miss Roydcn said, in her
spiritual. magnetic voice. which
has a ring of girlhood and the
love Of youth and good things ~

PEPC0 To WAGE
COURT WAR ON
LIGHT TRATECUT
Reduction Means Nothing to
Public Unless Order. Is
Upheld by Judges.

Washington's new electric rate,
effective tomorrow. will be 1928
cents per kilowatt hour. which Is
the lowest ever ordered for the Dis
trict.
THIS low rate, however, is merely
a scrap Of paper for the time being.
since consumers must continue to
pay a 1O-cent rate pending a final
determination by the higher courts
as the fair valuation of the properties
of the Potomac Electric Power Com
pany.
The Public Utilities Commission
yesterday ordered a per cent re-
duction from the present paper"
rate OF .0S705 cents.
The new rate is subject to approval
by the District Supreme Court, and
copy OF the new order will lie
transmitted to the court today or to-
morrow.
Company to Go to Court.
In making the new rate the com.
mission based its findings on a valu.
alton fixed by the commission, al
though the company claims that the
Court Of Appeals has ruled that the
commissions valuation was in error.
The power company will go into
court and make this contention when
the matter comes up for considera.
ton. Whether the company will pro.
test the cut ordered yesterday has
not been determined.
Under the new rate the consumers
will profit $205, 900 in 1922 over
1921, II the court finally sustains
the commissions ruling.
The difference between the new
rate and 10 cents will be impounded
I'm the courts pending final de.
cision on valuation. Last year ap.
proximately $500 900 was impounded
The additional s205,00O will mean
that about 100000 will be impound'
ed in 1922.
There is at present more than g.,
100000 held by the courts. This
sum Is drawing interest. Should the
courts decide favorably to the com
anv the iinpounded funds, with aC'
crued interest. will be used largely
for improvements and extensions.
II decision is rendered adverse 10
the company, then the impounded
fund will be distributed to the con
sumers who paid II.
Heavy Outlay. Says Ham.
William F.. Ham, president of the
I power company, said today that in
spite Of the fact that the cost of coal
and wages are 100 per cent higher
| than in 1917. the utilities commits
sion had reduced the rate lower than
obtained In that year. The 1917
rate was s cents.
A heavy outlay faces the company
during the next few years, Ham said.
Next year $500 900 of bonds mature
and must be cared for.
The company has begun on a ten.
year program of extensions and i'm
provements that will cost about
SO 900 900. In making improvements
the company can issue bonds for only
rs per cent OF the cost Of the
project. Should the courts hold that
the impounded funds are due the
company they will go toward paying
at least a part of the additional 20
per cent required.
Under the new rate, Ii is estimated
by the commission that the company
will earn $25.500 more than a per
cent return on fair value in 1922.

P. 0. Official Explains
Opposition to Ball
Rent Act Extension

was eminently just, but to extend a
rent law so as to interfere with con-
tracts between business men in
times of peace is not in accordance
with American doctrines" the state
ment declares.
Concerted action is now being
made to force favorable action in
the Senate on the rent act.
Propaganda from many agencies,
seeking to wipe the act off the
statutes. is being received by the
committee, in order that "a good
time may be had by all-exceps the
tenant"
The Housekeepers' Alliance, in a
five-page, closely typewriter appeal
to Chairman Ball, of the Senate Dis.
with Henry Brigham, in an effort
to prevent the extension Of the Ball
rent act.
The solution is simple. the appeal
declares. Let everybody own their
own homes and then there will be
no rent gouging, the alliance de.
clares.
"As home makers we sympathize
deeply with those tenants who have
been subject to rent gouging, but we
suggest that their relief is to be
sought in home ownership" says
the alliance.
Say Benefits Nil.
The Ball act, it is declared, has
ruined home ownership as an in
vestment for the home maker.
The Rent Commission is privi.
legged upon its own initiative to enter
premises that are rented and by it's
own method establish a valuation
Of property which the owner is COM
PEELED to accept" the Housekeepers'
Alliance declares.
There Is a false assumption that
the Ball act has reduced rents in
Washington, the Alliance asserted,
which is entirely incorrect. What
has been done is that a rent has
been lowered here and there, but
that other rents have been raised
elsewhere. This describes nothing
as to the level Of rents"

city to take charge and run the
local association" Ullman said.
The accomplishments made by
the present advisory board in the
District, under the leadership of
Ullman, during his eight years of
service TO the Association, includes
the building Of the concrete road to
Richmond, the reciprocity agree.
ment with Virginia and the anti.
profiteering campaign, when al
ley" garages were closed up for
repair gouging.
The board is working on a reel.
procity agreement with Maryland,
to do away with the double-license
system, and legislation in Congress
permitting free and unrestricted
travel any place in the United
States.
"The former high aims Of the Dis
trict of Columbia A. A. A. may not
be entirely abandoned, but at least
they seem to he temporarily side
tracked. while the usual conditions
which obtain here are disregarded, I,
Ullman continued.
THE sole object of the association
now seems to be to get members and
money on any basis regardless OF
the dignity and background of the
organization, and have resigned
the editorship of the associations s
publication, the secretaryship OF the
local division, and the publicity di-
rectorship of the entire association
rather than submit to these tactics"
Ullman declared in his letter OF res
isgnation and protest.
Members Express Regret.
Much regret was expressed this
morning in automobile circles at the
action of the District secretary and
advisory board in resigning.
Prompt action will be taken to pre-
vent the increase of the fee, II was
declared, when it becomes generally
known that an attempt is being
made to "gouge" the public without
reason or justification"
Present membership of the asso-
citation in the District is about 1000,
affording an income of $4,000 a
year, which II is declared Is entirely
sufficient to pay all necessary ex-
penses. To increase the fee to $40
would mean cost of $40, 900 to the
automobile public in Washington,
and will not be paid by the motorist,
il is believed.
Several thousand dollars a year
also is derived from the sale Of road
maps and the Official Guide. which
accrue to the association as net
profit, II Is pointed out.
