For the first time in history,
since the establishment of the
Public Utilities Commission, the
orders of the commission have so
seriously conflicted with municipal
ordinances that adjustment may
be difficult, it was learned today
at the District Building.
Hope for Some Way Out
Although District officials were
very reticent about the conflicting
orders Of the commission and Col.
l. G. Moller, assistant traffic di-
rector, 1t is believed that the
trouble arose from an oversight,
Commissioner Bell, chairman of the
commission, hopes that a remedy
can be found.
The District Water Department
has a project which will call for
the tearing up of e street, between
Twelfth and Thirteenth stl eels
northwest. The Water Department,
realizing that the work would be
fmpeded IL traffic was allowed to
use the street asked that signs be
erected making E street open to
) west bound traffic only.
Colonel Moller ordered the police
TO place signs prohibiting vehicles
from going east on z street. The
signs were put in place today.
Buses Refuse to Obey
But two bus lines, operating on
routes designated by the Public
Utilities Commission, refused to
obey the signs. They said they
had a perfect right to use the
street when east-bound and the
police couldn't stop them.
The act OF Congress establishing
the Public Utilities Commission pro-
vides that when any order Of the
commission created by this act
shall be made which shall be incon-
eistent and repugnant to any munich
pal ordinance or regulation made or
TO be made by the Commissioners
of the District of Columbia, acting
as such. then and in such event
the order OF the commission created
by this act shall be given full force
and effect, Notwithstanding such
municipal ordinance or regulation.
The fact that two bus lines were
routed out e street was overlooked
when the order to erect the stop"
signs was given. Colonel Bell point
ed out, and 1t emphasizes the
=. trouble which might arise il the
Public Utilities Commission is made
body entirely separate from the
commissioners, without including
the commissioner Of police.

STUDENTS RECITAL

The students in the Music Depart
ment of Broaddus College gave their
first public concert on Friday even
ing December 18th. in the chapel. The
concert was under the supervision of
Miss Nan Beatrice Koenig, head of
the department, and she was assisted
by Miss Gladys c. Miller, and Miss
Euphemia ShillingIaw.
The Girls Glee Club opened the
program with w. ]. Marsh's compost
ton "The New Moon at Christmas
There were some very interesting and
well chosen piano selections given by
Miss Garnett Gulentz, Mrs. Schleter
Miss Viola Ernest Of Belington, Miss
Margaret Holbert, Miss Mary Louise
Tallman of Elkins and Miss Elizabeth
Fling Of Elkins. Miss Ruth Crawford
sang two amusing songs in her pleas
ing manner and Mr.. Thomas Dotson
gave very well two more serious
vocal selections. As Mrs. Potts was
unable to be present Miss Shil-
linglaw assisted Charles Steel in
in that very pretty violin duet, "Sym-
phonique Petit" Charles later gave
as solo H. Henry's "Serenade.
Perhaps one of the most enjoyable
numbers on the program was violin
ensemble given by the entire violin
class. The piano quartette by Will
liam Ryan, Marguerite Hunt, Eliza
beth Hume and Marie 'Sturm was
very we'll rendered. This varied and
interesting program was brought to
a climax and to a close by the Mems
Glee Club when they sang "My
Homeland"
The Music Department of Broad
dus is O. very vital part of the col
lege. and all of the music students
show keen enthusiasm for their work
and often quite a little talent

A new era has dawned for the
woman who visits Los Angeles. Once
she had to go to a hotel Now she
can 90 to her hotel For by skill, en-
ergy and perseverance group of Los
Angeles women alone have put up
new million and quarter dollar
structure devoted to women and to
their families
It is more like giant hospitable
club than a hotel. The women have
a plunge and a gymnasium at their
disposal. If they wish to play golf the
hotel will give them courtesy cards
to their choice among the many ia
nous Los Angeles all grass golf
courses.
More than a score Of years ago the
Y. w. C. A. in Los Angeles was given
modest, piece Of land on Figueroa
street. It was then SO far out in the
country that orange orchards were
very close to it. 1t was then that
women with high faith and firm pur-
pose resolved to convert that land in
to a treasure They held to it. They
Guarded it against unwise building
They woke up almost literally ore
morning to find that their dream of
woman's hotel was within reach
The growth Of the city had surround
ed the land with large buildings. It's
value leaped skyward 1t went so far
skyward that the value of the land
plus the value Of the intended build
ing permitted the women to sell
bonds in the sum Of three quarters of
million dollars. With this and other
honey accumulated they put up a
twelve story classA building and a.
dorned it with delicacy of taste that
has made it generally admired.
Mrs. Chester c. Ashley, shown in
full face in the picture is the moving
spirit of the Hotel. She is president

POULTRYMEN WARNED
AGAINST COLDS IN FLOCKS

The most serious trouble of poul-
tryman at this time of the year is to
prevent cold in his flock, states Ralph
L. Mason, extension poultry specialist
Of the West Virginia College of Ag-
riculture. He urges that care should
be taken to see that the poultry house
is properly ventilated and kept dry
The dropping boards should be clean
ed often. Too much litter should not
be used on the floor and it should be
changed as often as necessary to pre-
vent dampness. All the leaks in the
roof should be stopped so that during
rainy weather the house does not be-
come wet inside.
Mr.. Mason advocates the keeping
Of plenty of dry mash and oyster
shell or grit before the laying flock
all the time. 1t is good plan when
ever possible to feed green feed or
seni-solid butter milk three of four
times a week. For a small flock
sprouted oats proves an excellent
green feed. Cabbage, mangels and
kale are also good.
During the winter months while
|. the birds are confined to the house
Athey should be given dose of Epson
salts once month. A pound of salts
is enough for every hundred birds.
This can be fed either in the drinking
water or mixed with wet mash.
Now is the time to plan for next
years pullets. In order to secure
baby chicks from good stock, Matched
out and delivered in April, it is nee
essary to place orders now. Too
many West Virginia farmers wait
until the last minute to order baby
chicks and as result are unable to
secure good stock.

PATENT OFFICE HAS ISSUED
OVER MILLION AND HALF

The United States patent Office has
issued over million and half pat
ents. Patents have been granted TO
American inventors for the tele-
graph, the telephone, the sewing ma
chine, the inflammation of rubber, the
moving picture, the photograph, the
incandescent light, the typewriter, the
automobile, the sleeping car, the ell
ectric car, the linotype machine, the
vacuum cleaner, the airplane, and the
leading features that make modern
radio possible.
This is a formidable list. These
inventions have affected the habits of
of each of US, causing US to live en-
tirely differently than we otherwise
would.
A group Of parents were talking
enc afternoon while their children
played.
NV own boyhood was quite similar
to that of my father and my grand
father, said one man. The great
changes seem to have come within
nv lifetime. | am startled when l
think how different is my sons en-
vironment from that of my own or the
member of any previous generation.
NV bow thinks Of the automobile as a
natural means of transportation; his
idea of a mail man is flyer because
mail plane goes over our house each
day: to him there is nothing wonder
full about the electric light, the phon-
ograph, the moving picture or the
radio. He accepts them just as nat
urally as | accepted dog or q horse.
Those in the group agreed that men
and women, now ranging from thirty
to fifty years have lived through an
era Of revolutionary changes. They
NAV have been wrong. 1t is said that
every new generation thinks that its
period of activity is the most remark
able in the worlds history. However,
it does seem that the last fifty years
have been particularly unusual.
When | first went to live in the
country for the summer, we had no
electric light, no running water, no
electric APPLIANCES. Of course, we
did have an automobile, telephone
y and a monograph. At first we got
along very we'll without electric light
and without running water, and we
almost convinced ourselves that
neither had contributed very much to
the happiness of the human race. One
dav the opportunity came to install
both. Now we would be willing to
contribute generously to the funds Tor
the building of monuments to the
men who invented the incandescent
lamp and the electric pump.
| have said it before and say II
again that the human race may mol
be any more intelligent than it was
two or five thousand years ago, but
it certainly is lot more comfortable
lot happier, and lot livelier And
we can thank American inventors
for contributing SO much to our we'll
being. William Feather.
