DOUGLAS NEVIS
REV. SAUNDERS
 GIVES ADDRESS
Interesting Su b ject Dis cussed Before Doug
 las PIT. A.

Rev. c. c. Saunders of Juneau addressed the Douglas PIT. A. last night on the Seven Ages of Child hood" passing his talk on the book of that title A large crowd listened with great attention to his remarks.
 From birth to three years of age is the first stage, the one in which the child does the greatest amount of learning. Four to seven years is the dramatic period in which the child displays great imagination, tells all kinds of stories and lives at times in an imaginary world, Ideas of religion make deep impressions at this time.
 The angular, awkward stage be- gins at seven and continues until eleven The childs interests change he is interested in making colloc- tions, which are marked by order Illness of arrangement. Boys and girls both are eternally asking why" often to the discomforture of their parents. This is the pe- riod of daring and physical prowess to the point of recklessness. C.hil- dren begin to enjoy teasing each other.
 Paradcxical Age
 Paradoxical age occurs from 12 to 14 and is marked by excessive physical growth. At this time chil- dren are very sensitive about their physical appearance, big hands, etc. There is a tendency to carelessness, especially in matters of truth. It is a dangerous age, requiring help of parents. The child often mis- understood then thinks of leaving

home; he needs his parents

home; he needs his parents as friends.
 Eleven to sixteen is the gang age when the child builds clubhouses has secret signs and codes. Fifteen to eighteen is the age of romance when the child starts to take more interest in his clothing; his speech and language takes on more refine ment.
 Their interests are wider; their subjects more mature. Often the first love affair takes place at this time.
 Age of Problems
 The age from sixteen to twenty one is the age of problems. It is necessary to choose a life work, the selection of which depends greatly on past training.
 Concluding the address several bills were presented for payment at the business meeting. A bill for S90 by J. O. Kirkham for labor in installing the double storm doors in the school building was approv- ed. Mrs. Frankforter was ap- pointed chairman of the December program committee with Mrs. Reidi and Mrs. Glen Kirkham and Miss Thoma to assist her.
 Recreation of children will be the special study of the PIT. A. during the next few months. To help the president plan such a study, she appointed Mrs. Edwards, Mrs. Lang seth, Mrs. Fox, Mrs. Balog, and Mrs. DeRouX.

.SUBSTAT|ON VALUE
QUESTION TAKEN UP
Ham, After Farley, Forecasts
Cut in Electricity Rates
Here Next Year.

William r. Ham, president of the
Potomac Electric Power Co., conferred
With the Public Utilities Commission
yesterday with reference to the figure
at which the companys Office building
and power Substations are to be retired
from its valuation when the company
moves to its new building, having sold
the old to the Federal Government.
No agreement was reached, but the
matter viii be canvassed again. The
commission makes the point that the
company is seeking to set up too low
figure. SO that there will remain in
the valuation balance not represented
by any property. The probable out
come will be that q public hearing will
be called to decide the whole question,
it was said, as this particular retire
ment has been under negotiation for
months
Mr.. Ham told reporters after the
meeting that there would probably be a
Substantial cut" in the price of cleo
tricity next year, owing to the pros
perity enjoyed by the power company
during the present year. Each month
thus far It has earned more net revenue
than in the same month last year, in
spite of its operation on a lower rate
schedule. The rates have been cut
each year since 1924 under consent
decree of District Supreme Court,
whereby all excess return over 7lz per
cent on the company's valuation is split,
the company taking half in cash, and
the consumers half In the way Of re-
duced rates.
The size of the cut will not be defin-
itely considered until near the close of
December, when the amount available
can be more accurately determined.

HYDE CALLS TARIFF
GAIN FOR FARM Frs
Opens Missouri Tour on Behalf Of
Republican Candidates for
Congress.

CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo, october 81.
The new tariff act was termed "a
distinct gain for agriculture" by Arthur
Hyde, Secretary of Agriculture and
former Missouri Governor, in an adj
dress here last night.
The Secretary's address was the first
on a tour of Missouri in behalf of Re-
publican congressional candidates.
For agriculture the tariff act is a
distinct gain" he said. Actually and
potentially it increases the tariff pro-
duction for the American farmer. 1t
will hold the American market for the
American farmer
ut gives American agriculture a
greater opportunity for wise diversifi-
cations and crop planning by stimulat-
ing the production of crops of which
we have been chiefly importers"
Secretary Hyde used the occasion to
deny some of the tariff statements Of
Jouett Shouse, chairman of the Demo-
cratic National Committee, whom he
called his "favorite fiction writer"
1.-THE farmer pays the increased tariff
rates on $140 worth of purchases" he
said. HE collects the tariff rates, to
the extent they are effective, on 100
per cent of his sales.
In the light of these facts the DEM
ocratic claim that the tariff will cost
the farmer $40 for every 81 becomes
worse than ridiculous. 1t is positively,
mendaciouS."
