IN PRODUCTION
Of PHONE RATE
William Mex. Clayton Will Ask
Commission to Pass on
All Schedules.

William Mex Clayton. chairman
~ the Dublic utilities committee oi
the Federation OF Citizens Associa'
ton, will demand a public hearing
on the Application TO the Public Ctlh'
ties Commission by the Chesapeake
and Potomac Telephon" Company for
a reduction of 80 cents in the s5.5o
charge for unlimited telephone serV'
ice, il was learned today
Mr.. CLAYTON feels that a pubhc
hearing would disclose whether or
not the company could stand "A great
er reduction in this rate and sllght
reduction on all other rates.
eft NAV be that the reduction
should be more than suggested ny
the company" said Clayton today.
THE telephone company Is the only
local utility that has not reduced us
wartime rates. There is now a re-
uuest before the commission Tor
reduction of rates on unlimited
phones and it may be that th"f"
should be a reduction on the rates
of limited service.
THE Company's petition for re-
duction of 50 cents a month on un-
limited service, if granted, might
result in an actual increase IN lts
revenues. Limited service is now
81 month for fifty calls. while
the unlimited service Is $3.50 "A
month. The reduction of 80 cents
on unlimited service might be fol-
lowed by an increase in unlimited
subscribers and a corresponding de-
crease in limited subscribers.
May Equalize All.
The Public Utilities Commission
received the telephone Company's re-
quest several days ago. 1t is under
/ stood commission officials are now
working out scheme TO slightly re-
| duce all rates instead OF the rate
suggested by the company.
II is possible that the commission
Nmay order a reduction in rates with
! out public hearing. Frank ~.

| Counsel, said today that ne believed
/ that under the law the commission
/ could do this.
! At the meeting tonight of the

BETTER
NURSES HOME
At EMERGENCY
MAY Ask Public to Provide
Funds to Build, Says Super
intendent Sandidge.

Emergency Hospital officials are
considering the construction or
new home for nurses of that InstI-
tuition. Superintendent Is. Brent
Sandidge said today.
Lack OF money has deferred the
authorities from going forward
with the plans, he said, and II ~
possible that Neutrality-suspicious. may
he asked 10 contribute toward the
home.
The nurses stationed at Ener'
gency Hospital now occupy three
buildings in the vicinity of their
place Of duty, and while complaints
have been few, II any, the officials
feel that the young women are en-
titled To better living quarters.
Need Better Home.
These women have given up =
great deal to become nurses, sad
Mr.. Sandidge, "and their living con.
ditions materially affect the quality
Of their work.
They would be happier and more
contented and better able to carry
out the arduous routine OF hospital
duty if they were given bett"r
home"
According to Mr.. Sandidge. the
question of environment has IA telling
psychological effect upon hospital
nurses, whose work demands that
their minds he free OF distracting
or depressing Influences while in the
hospital A mentally disturbed
nurse means an unsteady hand and
possibly danger to a patient.
"As yet, we have heard no
grumbling among the nurses against
the homes where they now reside,
Mr. Sandidge said, but we feel that
higher standards Of efficiency would
he reached by providing them with
better home.
Request Tied Up.
I'VE had thought OF using
bequest of about $50 900. left TO the
hospital some years ago, for this
particular work. but the money is
tied up by conditional clauses, and
the use of these funds for building
new home is doubtful.
"Thesc women are rendering a
public service, and the position Of
nurse is held in high esteem by the
public in general. II 1t Is decided 20
ask the people of Washington to
help in this work. | feel certain that
they will respond. Al present. no
decision has been reached, but some.
thing definite will be forthcoming IN
the near future"

Washington Real Estate Is 1OO% So
Now Is the Time For You to Invest

Never before in the history of
the city of Washington has the out
look for steady increase in real

larger. The war time imitation in
values is a thing of the past and the
real estate dealers and owners can
now look forward to years of
steadily increasing worth in Wash

Ex-KAlSER WINS ACTION NJ
TO BAR BISMARCK FILM

BERLIN, Aug. 1.-THE former
Kaiser won a victory in the Berlin
courts yesterday when his attorneys
obtained what is equivalent to a
q temporary injunction against the
production of the Bismarck drama,
"The Dismissal" by Emil Ludwig,
famous writer.
The former emperor brought the
action because he is one of the chief
figures in the drama which portrays
Blsmarck's historic dismissal by the
Kaiser shortly after the latter took
the throne. g..
The exiled monarch strenuously
objected to the way he was char
acterized and to the unfavorable role
given him in the drama. The court
recognized what is equivalent to the
''right of the individual to his per-
sonality."
