This association is in accord with

and medicine that animal experimental

upon mankind as well as upon animals
themselves, and is essential to the

sciences.

Nothing resembling a New Year eve
party or celebration has been planned
for the White House tonight and the
prospects are that President and Mrs.
Hoover will retire considerably in adj
vance Of the passing of the old year and
the birth Of the new.
Conscious Of the physical strain which
they viii face tomorrow when they
shake hands and exchange New Year
greetings with several thousand per-
sons. both the President and Mrs.
Hoover today made it apparent that
they were anxious to exert themselves
as little as possible Their experience
last New Year day, when they greeted
more than 1000 people, which require
almost ceaseless handshaking and
standing on their feet for q period Of
nearly four hours, has convinced them
that this White House tradition Is
something of an ordeal. Therefore, they
are attempting TO conserve their en-
ergies.
Because Of this neither the President
nor Mrs. Hoover made any engagements
for today. They disposed of the routine
matters and afterward tried TO relax
and rest. The President was ut his

A wireless message from the steamer
Duris to the New Guinea Radio Station
today said that after the earthquake
wall of water eight feet high swept
the Western inundated islands.
Its force was so great at Awinn that
houses and cattle were washed out to
sea. The European manager of the
island and a number of natives es-
capped by climbing the palm trees.
In May-August. 1883, eruptions of
the Volcano Krakatao, between Sumatra
and Java, produced a seismic wave
which propagated itself as far as the
English Channel and is estimated to
have taken about 10000 lives.
On March 3, 1888, Hatzfeldt Harbor

east coast of New Guinea, experienced
a wave 80 feet in height after period

POWER RATE. CUT
TO ACCENT LEVEL
Public Utilities Commission
Holds Company's Return
Excessive.

The Public Utilities Commission late
today ordered reduction in electric
rates substantially the same as that
suggested by the Potomac Electric Pow
er Co.
At the same time the commission
held that the return made by the COM
pany is excessive and announced its
intention of going to court to secure
a modification of the consent decree
under which the rates are annually ad-
juSted. If 1t fails to secure such modi-
flcation the commission announced that
it would proceed at once to revalua-
ton of the properties Of the company.
The rates offered by the company
comprise a reduction from AZ to AZ
cents per kilowatt hour on all primary
rates, with additional reductions on
secondary and subsequent rates.
Statement Is Issued.
In explaining its order today, the
commission issued the following state
ment:
1.-THE commission has found that the
return made by the Potomac Electric
Power Co. is excessive. The consent de-
cree as now worded does not permit
adequate relief, and the record in the
recent hearing would leave an order
making reductions greater than those
provided for by the decree subject to
court action.
THE commission, therefore, orders
into effect at once what it believes to
be an equitable adjustment of rates
between classes, on as low a level as
it can support under the existing decree
It reserves control of the case, and fixes
the new rates for an indefinite period
It requests its counsel to take the
appropriate court action Immediately
to secure material changes in the con-
sent decree which will preserve to the
public the advantages Of tina m OF
regulation which at the sam, will
lower the rate Of return to by
the company and avoid prolo ga
ton preventing or delayil .ture
reductions.
May Seek Retaliation.
"In the event that assent to such
modification of the consent decree can
not be obtained, the Commission will
proceed to inquire into the value OF
ut Is the hope of the commission
that the beneficent effects of the slid
ing scale method Of determining rates
may be continued and the necessity for
revaluation avoided. Pending the de-
termination of the technical questions
involved in such modification, the pres
ent order of the commission is thought
advisable in order Immediately to assure
the consumers of electric current the
substantial reductions which viii result
therefrom."
Sought Greater Cut.
All day yesterday was devoted to a
public hearing at which efforts were
made by Peoples Counsel Richmond B.
Keech and the Federation of Citizens
Associations to secure greater reductions
than those offered by the Potomac Elec-
trio Power Co.
The power company proposal is drop
in the rates from AZ to 40 cents per
kilowatt hour, with accompanying re-
auctions In secondary rates, the princi-
pal one of which Is a proposed reduc-
ton of 2.5 to al cents per kilowatt

FORTUNE

After spending three years Of
his youth, and $4,000, 900 Of his
fortune in making "Hell's Angels" :"
Howard Hughes has given his pic
ture to the public with the ex-
treme personal satisfaction that
comes with the knowledge he has
achieved the aims and ideals
which prompted him to expend an
unprecedented amount of time
and money on q single film crea-
ton.
when set out to make 'Hell's
Angels more than three years
ago, I determined to give the pub
lie the most realistic picture ever
put on the screen" Mr.. Hughes
said recently in an interview. II
made up my mind to create an
outstanding air spectacle, sparing
neither time nor expense and
without reSorting to trick photog-
raphy, doubles or miniatures.
This was a difficult task, I will
admit, but my enthusiasm gained
as production progressed. I have
endeavored to give the public a
natural picture"

ENGLISH GIRL
LEARNED TO
ACT in u. S.

Although she Is English by
birth and schooling, Daphne
Warren Wilson, who plays the
sprightly Joan Greenleaf in John
Drinkwater's comedy, Bird in
Hand" at the shubertrBelasco
Theater this week and next, has
acted only in this country.
A few years ago Miss Wilson'S
mother came on a visit to this
side and, growing to like the
United States so well, returned
to England and brought back her
two daughters to maintain a
permanent residence here.
Shortly after her arrival, Miss
Wilson entered dramatic school
in New York, remaining there
three years. Then embarking
upon her professional career, she
gained her first active stage ex-
perience as leading lady Of the
Children's Theater, an organiza-
ton that has auspiciously started
several young ladies in their pro
feSsional careers.
Previous to her present role in
Bird in Hand" Miss Wilson's
most prominent part was the
ingenue lead in "The Shannons
of Broadway" following the New
York run Of which she was en-
gagged by Lee Shubert for the
lead in Drinkwater's famous
comedy. In between her Broad
way engagements there have been
brief excursions with stock COM
panies in various parts Of the
country, during which she gained
valuable experience. A particu-
larly novel engagement was last
summer with a rotary stock COM
pany in Maine, that played sew
eral vacation resorts in a
different play each week, making
