Gertrude l., Abel drives her car throughout the week ministering 10 the spiritual needs Of l50 members Of two Methodist Episcopal corgre- gations.

 During 1o years of her ministry Miss Abel has held three pastor ates. The first was in Montana and the other two in Washington. All or them were frontier com munities. She attends to all the usual duties Of q pastor and also takes part in the civic affairs Of the community.
 To her ability to meet people on common ground, Miss Abel at tributes much of the success of Ter pastoral work, She believes that success Of the church's mis- sion is dependent upon making Christianity practical.
 People recognize their need of the church when we make Jesus Christ real to them and help solve the problems of their everyday lives" she declares.
 '1 do not believe the young people Of our times are dlfferen from those of other generations. In some cases, if is true, they have come into contact with material istic theories in their school work, and the church has offered them nothing that they felt met the situation. We must approach the people Of today, young people as well as their elders, on q ground of common need and common un- derstanding, if we would hold their interest and loyalty"

D. {. SUIT IN
ITS 41ST YEAR

Another step in the "be-whisk-
cred" suit of Richard Young to
clear up the title to certain valuable
real estate in Washington, was
taken today.
The suit was filed in 1887, and
next month starts its 41st year Of
litigation. So old Is the suit that
even the names Of the original
parties are almost lost in the
volume Of papers that have been
filed in the musty records of the
court.
= The suit had its inception prior
to 1887 when the heirs of Richard
Young sought to clear up their an
cestor's estate, covering several city
blocks.
The estate was sold by a United
States Marshal who attempted to
give a good title to the purchaser.
The property had deed of trust.
covering purchase price money and
the Marshall's title failed.
Today's suit was filed by Fred
Mckee, present trustee Of the
estate, being in the nature of
friendly suit, for the purpose of
giving Richard E. Wagner, q ouit
claim deed to lot 33 in square 1O33.
thus removing the cloud from the
owners title. Attorney c. C. James

'JUMP I'M D. c. GAS Rate
COMING SOON, BELIEF.
NE 7 EARNINGS
ARE RATED
TOO Low

Washington gas users are face
to face with the probability of a
higher rate. Many of them are not
aware of the existence of such a
contingency.
However, it Is generally believed
among official circles that the
will soon petition for higher rate.
The Public Utilities Commission has
intimated that it will not look ad-
versely on such a petition.
Looking toward a merger, the
Commission has just undertaken a
revaluation OF the Washington and
Georgetown Gas Light Companies.
Under the existing valuation OF
$4,000, 900, fixed in 1915, the COM
panies have been earning between
4 and per cent. The Washington
Gas Light Company has contended,
however, that their firm alone
should be valued at about $685.
OOO. 900.
The law states that the company
IL entitled to a fair return on a
fair valuation. The Utilities Com
mission has fixed Z per cent as
a fair return.
Officials OF the company say
they are not making a fair return
on their present valuation. II they
are given a higher one they point
out that their percentage return
will be still lower and they will be
all the more entitled to more reve-
nue..
Officials of the company say bust
ness Is being managed as efficiently
as possible.
Many students Of the gas situa-
ton here feel that the company
should be making more money
under existing conditions.
During the past ten years, gas
consumption has doubled in Wash.
ington. 1t costs 50 cents to manu-
facture ! 900 cubic feet of gas
which is sold for 81. A good days
sale in winter is $4,000, 900 cubic
feet; in summer around $4,000 900.
Nine cents per thousand is allowed
for depreciation and maintenance.
II some means TO increase consump-
ton during the summer months
could be devised the company's
outlook would be much brighter.
Gas is almost universally used
in the Districts homes and the
consumption is increasing yearly.
