Northwest Washington, has entered
protest with the Public Service Com
mission against the granting Of a fran
chise to the Consolidated Gas, Electric

Calvert County
The letter, in part, follows:
I'VE understand from our represent
atives who travel in the Southern Mary
land territory that the Suburban Elec-
trio Power Co. has energized the terri
tory from Waldorf to Hughesville and
Mechanicsville. This company has al
ready erected poles and has wires run
ming to the houses in the territory
which takes in Waldorf, La Plata and
Indian Head. The company further
had the assurance of the Maryland
Public Service Commission that fran
chise would be granted to 1t for Calvert
County. With this assurance it pro-
ceeded to erect poles, ETC., part Of the
way to Solomons.
1.-The sentiment of the residents Of
Charles, st. Mary's and Calvert Coun-
ties is strongly in favor Of doing busi-
ness with the Suburban Electric Power
Co, as they feel that this lat
ter company will give them quick
er action and much lower
rate on current than would the Balti-
more concern. The Suburban company
also. as We understand, has guaranteed
TO furnish electricity at one cent per
kilOWatt hour cheaper than the Con-
sOlidaIed"

When host of motor-car buyers register
a pronounced change in buying habit

market, you may be sure there is pro-

All the world knows it to be true, of

been of service to his fellows to the extent that his deeds have been constructive. It is not the evil things that he has refrained from doing but the good things he has done that prove his value to the world. Fositiveness on the side of right gets him somewhere. It builds, it lifts, it pulls, it puri- fies and ennobles. Quiescent good is not a force for right. It does no more good than it does harm-not as much.
 Action is as imperatively de- manded in mental and spirit ual things as in material. It is not he who offers no discourag- ing words who cheers and comforts, but he who speaks the word of encouragement. Keeping silent when a friend is overwhelmed with grief does not comfort him. It is the friendly hand upon his should CT, the sympathetic word in his ear, the act of helpfulness in his behalf that means some thing to him.
 The negative man is a failure. He may pull back, but those who pull forward carry his weight. He is a consumer, but not producer. He uses the light, but creates none. He stakes his thirst, but refuses to go to the we'll for water
 The life of service is the hap py life.

 Representative Albert John son, of Washington, in a recent statement in Congress, asse. l. ed that the population of the United States is increasing nc Y at the rate of one every twenty seconds, three a minute, 180 an hour, 1,500,0G0 a year.
 What are you going to do about it?" he asked. You can not solve this question simply because some people think they can bring in a little cheap CT labor" :"
 MT. Johnson voiced the opin- ion that the public wants no more immigration. "In my opinion, gentlemen" he said, this matter is marching along 70 fast that this chamber, in it's desire to point the way, might just as we'll take a bold 2tep and advocate a suspens- ion from all countries, with the exception of certain close rel atives, wives, children, fathers and mothers. 1 think this is an inevitable step"
 Senator Hugo c. Black, of AL lbama, has also gone on record as an advocate of closer immi- gation restrictions and has in- troduced a bill in the senate providing for suspension of all immigration for a period of five years.

IN MEMORIAM

By custom and appointment, 8 day is set apart in memory of the nations brave dead and in acknowledgement of their enduring service to the living. In this tribute our thoughts and hearts have equal share. The perspective of time gives us to know that the wars of the past have won for us the peace of the present and that the strife of causes and convict ions, now scarce remembered, bears fruit today in the great ness of a nation. At the same time our hearts recall the sac rifice of those who died in war for a victory they would not see.
 It is not the nature of heroes to look ahead to the gratitude of posterity. Nor do those who have played their gallant part in history now need our praise or tribute. It is ourselves who need the day of observance. It is for our own sake that we confess again that in a great cause men will fight and die. It is in acknowledgement of our country's right to our strength and devotion that we on that day salute those who have served her without stint or measure.
 In countless communities Memorial Day will draw our citizens together to lift again the flag of national faith. In countless homes will be re- called a bitter loss, mercifully mellowed by time and by the belief that brave men do not die in vain.
 Briefly our memories awake the past, from which we turn again to the hopeful future, pledging the strength of the present to the service of the land of our fathers.
