ROAD LIGHTING HELPS
May Be Means of Extending

Farmers in Vicinity

Forty-eight per cent OF the people

Excluding the small farm lighting
sets, there remains almost half of the
total population who are unable to
avail themselves of the service which
electricity can render mankind.
Why has electricity been halted at
the city limits? The answer is SIM
pie. The first central station COM
panies were lighting companies and
negotiated contracts for lighting city
streets. Later they were granted
fran chises to operate in whole COM
munities. This admitted of q finan-
cial return which warranted the cree
ton Of pole lines.
Thus the fundamentals we're estab-
lished for the distribution of energy
for purposes other than lighting. But

cause of the apparent lack of suf-
ficient business" beyond these limits
to warrant the erecting Of rural dis
tribution lines.
Farmers have been unfortunate in
the matter of electrical conveniences
from the very fact of their being
farmers. They are compelled to make
their living in isolated sections. Their
isolation has been their handicap.
Lighted Highways Mean Power
Yet this need not be. Highway
lighting, say engineers of the Gen
erai Electric Company, will function
as well for the rural districts as street
lighting has functioned for the cities.
and with the necessary lines in oper-
alton across rural districts, lighting
up the highways. other electrical con-
ven.ences will follow as surely as
night follows day. Installed highway
lighting systems are but forerunners
they are but hint-of the broader
service Of bringing electric light and
power to the farmer.
Yet lighted highway, as such, is
not without great intrinsic value to
the farmer. Farmers go to market
early and often return home late. A
lighted highway enables the farmer

tinctly different from the problem in
volved in the use of cables in local
exchange plants, but after large
amount of research and engineering
work, long distance telephone service
through cables was successfully accom-
plished and cables have been utilized
for this purpose for number of years
in various sections, as, for example,
from Boston to Washington, $50 miles.
Following the successful operation
of these cables and the better service
which was thereby made available to
the public, consideration was given to
the use Of cables for longef distances
in other sections. After thorough
study of the situation it was decided
to install cable from New York to
Chicago.
While the New York-Chicago cable
is the longest telephone cable in the
world, it is only part of compre-
hensive cable system which in few
years will link many of the important
centers in the more densely populated
sections of the country east of the
Missouri and north of the Ohio and
. Potomac Rivers. This cable is de-
signed to operate as an extension OF
other existing long toll cables, such as
the Boston Washington cable, which
ties together many of the Atlantic sea-
board cities. 1t is also designed to
operate in connection with cables which
are under construction of planned,
such as the cable from Chicago to St.
Louis, 300 miles, to be completed in
1926 and cable from New York via
Albany, Utica, Rochester, Buffalo and
Erie to Cleveland, which is under
construction.

Again America leads with the long
est telephone cable in the world. The
new long distance cable, just placed in
service between New York and Chi
cago, is 861 miles in length, nearly
twice as long as any other telephone
cable in the world. The construction
work has been in progress for about
seven years and the cost of the cable,
fully equipped, will be approximately
$25 100000.
The cable was placed in under
ground conduit for 144 miles, through
cities, while in the open country it was
suspended on poles for distance Of
TIT miles.
More than $50 telephone circuits are
provided and over 500 telegraph mes
sages can also be sent simultaneously
with theN telephone conversations
through this cable. To provide facili-
ties for the same number of telephone
and telegraph circuits by open wire
construction about ten heavily loaded
pole lines of the usual type would be
required.
Prior to the use of cables for long
distance telephone circuits it was nee
essary to use the familiar type of open
wire construction with 40 to go sep
arate wires carried on a single pole
line. This type of construction is sub
ject to interference from severe
storms. particularly when the wires
are loaded with sleet. Furthermore,
the number of routes which it is prac-
ticable to utilize for long distance
lines of this kind are limited. Many
years ago it was found necessary to
use cables instead Of open wire in the
construction of local telephone plant
in cities.
The problem of long distance tele-
phone service through cables is dis

THE WOMAN WHO WORKS

In this new order Of things, with
women, both married and single,
broadening their business activities, "a
very serious problem arises. 1t is the
problem of what, when, and where to
eat.
Breakfast is always hurry-up meal
for the men but much more so for the
woman who goes to business. Lunch
cons, of course, are taken in the
lunchrooms and restaurants in the
business districts and are no problem.
But how about dinners? Shall they,
so planned that business women may
enjoy the home cooking of which they
are so fond? Take away the element
of haste and anxiety and in its place
put carefully thought-out menus, well
planned and easily prepared, and home
dinners will again regain their high
favor with the working housewife.
One of the big worries is frequently
with the milk. Did it come? Is 1t
fresh? Is 1t frozen? Has the milk
man been paid? Are the bottles
washed and set out? However, there
is no cause for worry about milk. Why
not keep dozen cans of evaporated
milk in your pantry? There are large
cans, equal to quart of milk and
smaller cans that will meet the lesser
needs.
For evaporated milk is just pure,
fresh milk with more than half the
water missing. This water can be re-
placed in a jiffy, if you so desire or
you can use 1t as cream If rich and
creamy foods are desired.
Here are few recipes that may be
used by "The Woman Who Works"
for forming her plans for self help
and good home cooking.

The G-E Farm Book, which has
been compiled by electrical experts
who have carefully studied farmers
problems, recommends the following

that the granting of 10-Cent fare on
this one bus line might open the
door to a higher rate throughout the
city. The commission, he said,
should consider the Washington Rail
way and Electric system as a whole
and not fix rates to meet the cost of
operation on individual routes.
Mr.. Clayton contended that the
whole theory of bringing the various
lines that comprise the Washington
Railway and Electric system together
was to enable the profitable lines to
carry the Improbable ones.
Says Line Will Not Pay.
Mr. Ham introduced testimony to
show the new bus route would not be
compensatory and that 1t would have
to carry 800 more passengers a day
than are now being carried by exist
ing facilities into the Wesley Heights
section in order to pay expenses.
Even If the Washington Railway
and Electric system, as a whole, was
on a profitable basis" Mr.. Ham said,
"the commission could not require an
extension of new service unless 1t
promised to be compensatory within
a reasonable time
Hugh NJ. Frampton, speaking for
residents of Wesley Heights, was
asked by Maj. Covell how the people
there felt about the rate of fare.
Mr.. Frampton said some OF the
people have indicated they would be
willing to pay the cost Of the service
in order to get the bus line. He added,
however. that he thought the present
rate of fare on the car lines is high
enough and he also contended that
the fare question should be considered
for the Washington Railway ana
Electric system as a whole, instead of
fixing higher rates for outlying routes
that are not of themselves profitable.
The route over which it is proposed
to operate the busses is as follows:
From Forty-f1fth and Fessenden
streets, to Forty ty-seventh street. to
Ellicott street, to Forty eighth street
to Chesapeake street, to Forty ninth
street. to Murdoch Mill road, to Massa-
chusetts avenue, TO Nebraska avenue
to Tunlaw road, to Cathedral avenue.
to Massachusetts, avenue, to dupont
circle, and return by the same route

Program Today.

Cool-tempered and smiling ever so
wanly in t1tful moods, Mistress May
stepped reluctantly out upon the cal
endar today. her usually petite figure
pimpled with goose flesh and her wist-
full lips curling with rather modern
incredulity at old-fashioned May day
cuStC rs.
AS a result the coronation cere-
monies of several dozen palpitating
little playground queens have been
postponed from 4 o'clock this after
and the only May day program now
scheduled this afternoon is the Child
Health carnival on the Ellipse.
Unless 1t rained hard before 4
o'clock the Ellipse program would be
started as planned. 1t was announced
at noon from the headquarters of the
Child Welfare Society, under whose
auspices the pageant, in the interest
of better health for the growing gen
erations, will be held. Everything is
ready for the ceremonies.
Better Health Parade Planned.
An interesting and enlightening pro-
gram will be presented. With the
United States Army Band on hand to
furnish the music, girls and boys from
various civic and health organizations
will offer songs and dances illustrating
the dominant note of the day. The
program will reach it's climax with a
better health parade in which every
child on the Ellipse will be urged to
participate.
An all-imporatnt feature of the cere-
mony will be an effort to give all of

1O-CENT BUSFARE
PROPOSAL FOUGHT
Citizens Want Scent Rate
Fixed on New Line From
Wesley Heights.

Request for a 1O-cent fare on the
proposed bus line of the Washington
Railway .and Electric Co. between
Dupont Circle and Wesley Heights
was opposed by William Nick. Clay
ton of the Federation of Citizens
Associations, at a public hearing at
the District Building today. The ar
Euments centered around the fare to
be charged. no objection being
voiced against establishment of the
route.
William F. Ham, president of the
company. testified that while the
present route from Dupont Circle out
is to be temporary because track
work necessitates an interruption
of through car service on Macomb
street, he said that some bus service
TO Wesley Heights undoubtedly would
be retained permanently.
Simplifies Change-Making.
Mr.. Ham said the 10-cent fare
would carry with it a free transfer
TO Washington Railway and Electric
street cars and that passengers on
street cars would be sold a two-cent
transfer TO the new bus upon pay
ment of a cash eight-cent fare. This
would make the fare 10 cents each
way.
The 1o-cent fare with free trans
fer on the bus. Mr.. Ham said, would
simplify the transaction by removing
the necessity of a passenger having
the change to put cents in the fare
box and then giving the operator
cents for a transfer.
Mr.. Clayton deprecated the fact
that with the installation of bus lines
as auXiliaries to car service, ditterent
rates of fare are being established.
Fear was expressed by Mr.. CLAYTON
