to see a wornan turn her ankle in

There is something about the

with the past that one might a. well try to feel up to date In a dress
of 1920 as in one of 1929. But to discard everything that has not
been bought within the past few months would be out Of the ques-
ton with most Of Us Certainly there is no chance that short skirts
will return TO favor within the next few seasons and the low waist
line is even more definitely a thing Of the past Certainly you
cannot wear the old dresses as they are and il there is no simple
obvious way Of lengthening the skirt and raising the waistline-

FIND MRS. TROWER
IN ROOM|NG HOUSE
Police Locate Missing Wom-
an Who Went for Ride With
Man She Knew.

The mystery surrounding the strange
disappearance early Christmas morn
ing of Mrs. Katherine E. Trower, Al
years old, from her home, at 1910
Twenty-second street northeast, was
solved by police late yesterday with
her discovery in a rooming house in
the 800 block of c street
The former narcotic investigator and
one-time matron at the District Jail
set to rest the fears of relatives that
she had met with foul play and told
detectives she left willingly for "a
ride" with q man she knew and they
returned to the city too late for her
to go home.
Detectives were furnished information
by James A. Collins, taxicab driver
living in the 5000 block Wisconsin ave-
nue., which led to the finding of Mrs.
Trower.
Driver Aids Search.
Collins appeared at police headquar-
tiers early yesterday afternoon, after
reading newspaper accounts of Mrs
Trower's abduction" and related an
account of having driven man, who
had hailed him in Georgetown, and
a woman he had picked-up at the
Trower home to Hyattsville and then to
rooming house on G street.
Detective Sergt. Joseph Waldron and
the cab driver searched the neighbor-
hood in which Collins had let his pas
sengers out on Christmas morning and
finally located the place. No charges
were placed against Mrs. Trower anC
she was released after being questioned
by detectives at headquarters.
The search for Mrs. Trower started
two days ago when the woman's mother
reported that a man attired in a chauf-
feur's uniform had called at her home
at o'clock Christmas morning and
said that "Mr. Cox from headquarters
was waiting outside to see Mrs. Trower
Joins Man in Cab.
Naturally assuming that Mr.. Cox
was some one who wished to see hel
daughter regarding narcotic work, the
mother called her daughter to the door
and the latter, clad only in a night
gown, robe and bedroom slippers
joined the man in the cab
When she failed to reappear, the
mother called police headquarters and
reported the case, stating that she
feared her daughter had been abducted
by some one seeking revenge for being
sent to Jail through Mrs. Trowers' I'M
dercover work.
Collins told detectives his fare" told
him to go up to the door of the Trower
home and say that ''Mr. Cox from head
quarters" was waiting outside.

he did not decide to what particular
task Edwards would be assigned when
taken to the reformatory.

terday Pitts, described as the ring
leader of the conspiracy, was sentenced

Pitts received several friends during
the visiting hours, and then spent the
afternoon comforting with one, of his
attorneys, George D. Horning, jr.
Pitts Appears FESTIVE.
The former chairman of the Smith
Co. board was said by jail attendants
to be getting FESTIVE.
In an effort to secure his release
from the Jail pending the appeal, his
attorneys, Wilton j. Lambert, Rudolph
Yeatman, Frank G. Raichle and Horn
ing, are considering making application
for a writ of habeas corpus. 1t is not
probable, however, that Pitts will be
able to secure his freedom through such
writ.
The defense attorneys also are busily
engaged in drawing up a bill of ex-
ceptions, which will be presented to
the court within the next few weeks in
furtherance of their efforts to secure
reversal on appeal of the convictions.

Hearing on New Rate Sched-
uIe Probably to Be Held
on Tuesday.
TIME WILL BE ALLOTTED
FOR ALL TO GIVE VIEWS
Public Meetings Result From Ac-
ton of Peoples Counsel at
Citizens Federation.

A night session of the public hearing
called on the 1881 electric rates by the
Public Utilities Commission will proba-
bly, be held Tuesday in order to speed
up the hearing. The hearing has been
called for $50 Tuesday, instead of the
customary 10 O'Clock. Since Wednes-
day will probably be a half-holiday,
members of the Public Utilities Com
mission are preparing for night ses-
sion so as to be able to render de-
cision on the rates early in January.
Vice Chairman Harleigh H. Hart
man of the commission said today that
those who have any evidence or argu-
ments to present will be heard in full
and that no effort will be made to
shut anybody off. and that the night
session and early starting hours will
be resorted to in order to reduce the
number Of days during which the
hearings are held.
Claim Rates Too High.
The hearings, the first ever to be
held on electric rate reductions, are
the result of petitions by Peoples
Counsel Richmond B. Keech and the
Federation of Citizens Associations.
backed up by a ruling of Corporation
Counsel William w. Bride that the
rate cannot legally be changed without
a public hearing.
Previous to the decision to hold the
hearing, the commission and the Poto-
mac Electric Power Co. had come to
the verge of an accord on the 1881
rates, but Mr.. Keech and William NICK.
Clayton, representing the federation,
claimed that the rates suggested by
the company and tentatively agreed to
by the commission were not low enough.
The commission had agreed to use
as a reduction fund the sum of $780,
600, representing one-half of the excess
profits of the power company above 712
per cent of its valuation in 1890. Mr.
Keech claimed that the rates proposed
to accomplish this reduction not only
would fail to reduce the company's
profits, but would result in materially
increasing them.
Attacks Consent Decree.
Mr. Clayton is making an attack on
the, consent decree of Equity Court by
which the rates are annually adjusted.
He claims that instead of using one
half of the excess profits for the reduc-
ton fund the commission should seek
to have the decree changed so as to
make three quarters of the excess avail
able
The primary rate for electric con-
sumption is AT cents per kiloWatt hour
and the company's proposition was to
reduce this to AZ cents. There were
also numerous reductions offered in the
various secondary and subsequent stages
OF the rate schedules.
