In looking at the pictures and at
the statues of famous men the idea is
forced upon one that great things are
always done by old men.
This is unfortunate The young men
Of today are unconsciously led to have
less confidence in themselves and the
rest Of us, old and young, also are led
to underestimate the capacity aud the
judgment Of young men. That is, the
man this side of forty.
In other words. an undue premium
is placed ON whiskers and white hair

which famous men are noted We're ac-

u. S, TAKES STEPS
TO COLLECT LOANS
Attention Of Several Govern
ments Called TO Agreements
Made BY Them.

Washington, d, G. The United
States government has taken steps to
collect not only the war debts owed
by Europe, but the reconstruction
loans made after the armistice,
Several debtor governments have
failed to pay either interest or prin.
cipal on rcconstruction debts and in
consequence the Washington govern.
ment has called their attention to the
agreements negotiated at the time the
loans were made that there would be
no discrimination in the discharge Of
obligations of this character.
Belgium is said TO have paid Great
Britain about eS,OOO,0OO on post.arm-
istice reconstruction and aid loans,
Rumania also is understood to have
made substantial payments to nations
which advanced relief funds, but has
made no move to pay the United
States.
The Jugo-Slavian government incur
red number OF reconstruction debts,
but has not made payment to any of
her creditors and for that reason is
not held to be in the same position
RS Belgium and Rumania.
The debt commission sees no dis
tinction whatever between pre- and
post-armistice debts insofar as the OBJ
legation of the debtor nation to pay
is concerned
Some consideration is being given
by the Washington government Of.
ficials to a proposal to publish list
of all debts owed The United States,
showing not only the amounts due,
but in each case the total payments
made on post and pre-armistice debts.

COMMISSION ADVISES
joint USE OF TRACKS

Salem, Or The necessity of addi-
tional rail service without unneces-
sary duplication of Investment was
emphasized by the Oregon public serv.
ice commission in an answer filed in
connection with the petition of the
Oregon Trunk for certificate of pub
lie convenience and necessity author,
izing the extension of its line from
Bend to klamath Falls.
1t was said that this answer ex.
presses clearly the attitude Of the com
mission in connection with recert de-
velopments in the central Oregon rail
road situation.
Particular mention was made in the
answer to the fact that under the pro
posed plan of the Oregon Trunk, its
trackage would parallel the line of the
Southern Pacific company for so
miles, from junction point near
odell or skookum to klamath Falls,
while identical service might be af-
forded at a saving of more than three
and one-half million dollars through
joint use of the Southern Pacific
tracks between these points.

HISTORY REPEATED
IN PAGEANTRY.
The history of old Georgetown is
to be enacted again for the benefit
of today in a pageant, which will
be given in the parish hall of one
OF the Oldest churches in the Dis
trict, that of Christ Church., George
town, on April % and "a.
The pageant, written by Mrs.
Horace Torbert will depict the event
full historical episodes OF the old
town. which was a thriving me-
tropolis, before Washington was
founded, and which supported IT,
nancially the Capital city for the
first ten years of it's existence.
When Washington was young,
Georgetown was the place, where
the elect politically and socially
made their homes, just as many are
now doing this repeating history.
The pageant will cover the life of
Georgetown from 1851, when twas
founded until 1895, when it WAS i'm
corporated into the city of Wash
ington.
And the principal events of that
long era will be depicted with his.
torlcal accuracy and great charm,
the actors, who will take the parts
Of famous men and women, being in
many instances the descendants of
~ Nen6 nd
en- of a bygone age. Georgetown
attics have been ransacked and the
finery of a century ago will again
beautify the bellies Of Georgetown.
Katharine Foss, mezzo soprano,
who will be heard here tomorrow

in fourteen concerts, which had
been arranged by Miss Dock Root,

the auspices of the United States
Government, which had requested
| Miss Root to manage the series of
concerts.
During their stay in Panama they
were entertained at the residence OF
Governor and Mrs. J. j. Morrow,
and Miss Foss sang at the brilliant
reception given to the army and
navy by Mira. Morrow.

HITS UTILITIES
VALUATION
Any Figure Very Much Less
Than $25, 900. 900 Unfair,
Ayers De vane

The Public Utilities Commission
cannot, under the law, find a fair
value for the Chesapeake and Poto-
mac Telephone Company substan-
TALLY below $25 200, 900, according
to a brief prepared by Dozier A.
De Vane, general counsel of the
company. and filed with the. COM
mission.
He points out that the .'contro-
verted questions in this case are
not upon the facts in the record
but upon the law applicable to the
facts"
Speaking of the recent inventory
made by the company, Mr.. De Vane
says:
the Public Utilities Commission
would be expected to prepare an
inventory and an appraisal spfgthe
Gropertv snpon which valuation
WAS to be- placed. It was frankly
stated, however, by, the Commission.
that it was not in possession of
the necessary funds to make such
an inventory or appraisal. The
company thereupon volunteered to
provide the funds for this purpose.
with an understanding that the ex-
pense thereof could be amortized
over a period of five years.
while the inventory was made
by men in the regular employ Of
the company, it is so admitteG1N. &C.
curate as to be acceptable to the
Commission and could, therefore,
be treated as its own.
at lis, therefore, believed that
under these circumstances and con-
ditions, the appraisals so made
should be treated as the impartial
appraisals of experts, made for the
benefit of the company itself"
