By United Press
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 8. The
University of Southern California
will have no alibi if its hopes for
a second consecutive national
championship are dashed Saturday
BY Notre Dame.
Coach Howard Jones has his
squad at full strength as it drills
secretly, unimpressed by the re-
ports that the Irish are less for
tunate il keeping their members
from the hospital.
Jones Gets Contract
The Trojans came through the
University of Washington game
with a minimum of injuries, all of
which have healed in the last few
days. The Trojans also have es-
capped the siege Of colds that has
harrassed the Notre Dame squad.
Rumors that Jones eventually
would abandon his Troy post and
succeed Glen (Pop) Warner at
Stanford were stilled Wednesday
night when President R. B. Won
Kleinsmid announced the coach
had signed a new fve-year contract,
to replace his present one which
expires next year.
Jones is said to receive SIP, 600
a year.
Southern California probably will
use a diversified attack against
Notre Dame, blending a fast rum
ming attack with plenty of passes.
Build Pass Defense
The running attack will pivot
around Homer Griffith, successor at
quarter back post to Orv Mohler.
AS a fleet assistant quarter, Jones
is depending upon Cotton Warbur-
ton, a light but exceedingly agile
runner, especially in a broken field.
All week, the Trojans have been
toiling to strengthen their pass de-
Tense. This is the weakest link in
their chain. The two touchdownS
scored against them this season
have been via the aerial route and,
mindful of Notre Danes formidable
threat from this quarter, Jones has
sought to bolster this phase of play.
Whether successful or not, Jones
still is worried.

workouts.

Matches Kept on Shelf.
Polly must have awakened imme-
diately after her mothers departure,
for 1t was only a few minutes later
when she ran screaming into her
grandmother's home crying helplessly,
her little sister trudging along behind
her.
The matches, according to the mother,
were kept on an improvised shelf near
the ceiling Of the kitchen.
When went back home" the
mother said. II found the box on the
floor and the matches scattered here
and there. A chair was right beneath
the shelf, and a broom was ON the
floor few feet away.
Polly was hit by a mail truck while
playing in front Of her grandmother's
home Summer before last. Although
she was only cut and bruised. the in

of its powers, and the court would be
substituted in its place. Such a result
was not intended by Congress"
A rate order, the brief states, as a
legislative act necessarily looks to the
future, and each order entered neces-
sarily revokes all previous orders con-
flicting with it. This point, If main
tanned, necessarily diSpoSeS of the con-
sent decree, because it was entered
specifically only in SO far as the same
is within the Jurisdiction of this
court" and the brief contends that
the primary legislative body (the COM
mission) can change a past legislative
act at any time by new enactment.
Cites Regular Dividends.
AS to the reasonableneSs of the order,
the brief points to the regularly paid
dividends of the company, the high
prices commanded by its bonds in times
of acute depression (averaging above
104O, its constantly growing surplus and
valuation, and the ready money market.
To bolster up the latter contention, 1t
mentions that in 1881 the $50, ,000, 900
United States Treasury 91-day bills were
oversubscribed more than three times
and were finally let at an annual in
terest rate of 048 per cent, and "the
= Federal Government is now batting
boarded funds with per cent bonds"
Under the new sliding scale, the brief
says, the company would be permitted
O return which would very literally
provide for the maintenance of its credit
for dividends on stock, interest on bonds
and substantial surplus, in view espe-
cially of the petitioners substantial
monopoly of electric power distribution
in the District. The rate is particu-
larly liberal, it contends, when the
fixed rate base and failure to deduct
. depreciation are considered, and the
principle Of the sliding scale is ap.
proved by the commission and the com.
pany alike.

GIRL, a, IS BURNED FATALLY
WHILE PLAYING WITH MATCHES
Child, Taken to Hospital by
Neighbor, Still Conscious
on Arrival.
Mother, Despite Weakness
From Shock, Submits to
Blood TRANSMISSION.

Childhood's most dangerous pastime
playing with matches-claimed an
other victim late yesterday, when 4
year old Margaret Stansbury died at
Georgetown Hospital of burns received
earlier in the day, when she crept
from her bed, climbed upon a chair,
and took her mothers supply of
matches from their hiding place
With her clothing burned from her
body, the child, known to relatives and
friends as Polly, ran to the home of
her grandmother at 3618 o street, next
door to her own home at 1914, and
cried:
Grandmother, I'm burned up!"
The grandmother, Mrs. j. w. Stsns-
bury, wrapped Polly in sheet and
called the girls mother, Mrs. Montana
Stansbury, who was visiting her,
Taken to Hospital by Neighbor.
Attracted by Polly's screams, a neigh
Dor, Mrs. r. NJ Benford, 1920 street.
found both women apparently on the
verge Of collapse. Another neighbor
Mrs. Mary Taylor, 3605 o street, drove
the child to the hospital.
Although the mother regained her
composure sufficiently to be able to
hold Polly in her arms on the short
trip to the hospital, nervous prostra-
ton rendered her too weak to carry
the girl into the emergency room with
out the assistance of Mrs. Taylor.
Polly was still conscious, but physi-
clans admitted there was little they
could do for her. She was so badly
burned. they said, that the only hope
OF saving her life was blood trans
fusion.
Despite her weakness, the mother
supplied the necessary blood, but the
0ild failed to rally. She died shortly
after 5 pm.

A COMPUTATION of the proper
" tion in which various govern
~ mental activities in the District
4 4 eat up the tax dollar, made by
District Auditor Daniel j. DON
ovan, shows few material changes in
recent years, and education still main
tains its enormous lead of more than
double the expense for any other prof.
ect. The figures, for a f1ve-year period
ended June 80, 1881, are graphically
represented in the circle reproduced
above.
The chief absentee in the list is bond
interest, which in a great many Amer
ican cities accounts for more than IS
cents on the dollar. The District has
no bonded Indebtedness. Its place is
taken by expenses that very few other
cities are called upon to meet These
include such items as the Court of
Appeals, the care of insane persons,
the penal institutions and the like.
Most cities simply pay a fractional
part of the cost of State institutions
for these purposes, but the District
maintains its own.
During the f1ve-year period a total
of $192, ,6S8 ,298 was spent, not includ-
ing expenditures from the water rev.
enueS or trust funds. The figures,
however, include the gasoline tax fund,

BUILDING INSPECTORS
OFFICE INVESTIGATED
Probe Seeks to Determine Result
of Possible Reduction in
Efficiency.

An investigation is being made of
the building inspectors office to de-
termine the efficiency of the corps, Act
ing Engineer Commissioner Donald A.
Dawson revealed during the recent
hearings before the House Subcomnlit-
tee on Appropriations on the 1888 Dis
trict appropriation bill.
The disclosure was made during a
discussion of the need for the present
staff of 80 inspectors in view of de-
crease in building activities. Mai.
Dawson took the position that a re-
duction in the force would probably
result in a corresponding decrease in
efficiency.
1t was admitted by Maj Dawson,
under questioning by Chairman Can
non, that some of the inspectors had
not been giving efficient service, and
that the purpose of the investigation is
TO weed out those who are inefficient.

MRS. NORTON F|NDS|
SPIRIT OF 'I' HERE|
Greater Voice for Public in
District Affairs Urged in
Radio Address.

Changes in government which she
believes are desirable for residents of
the National Capital and other legis-
1ative matters of particular local in
terest were discussed in radio broad
cast last night over Station WMAL by
Chairman Norton of the House District
Committee.
Referring to her resolution to permit
District residents to have a greater
voice in affairs and management of the
District of Columbia, Mrs. Norton said
that communications she has received
indicate that the spirit of '76 not only
survives, but is rampant, and that tax
alton without representation is not en-
tirely satisfactory to the free-born
Washingtonian.'
Mrs. Norton declared she favors
change in the present method of pay
ing taxes in lump sum at a specified
time with the penalty of added inter-
est. advertisement, sale and probable
loss of property.
Urges Quarterly Payments.
II see no reason" >she said, why
the District taxpayer should not have
the same privilege on his property tax
as is given on income tax Quarterly
payments would not increase the cler-
ical work involved to a prohibitive ex-
tent, and would make the financial
burden much easier for many citizens
whose salaries are moderate and who
are bravely undertaking to pay for
home
Pointing out that "s75, 900 900 worth
OF property In the District is now tax
exempt" Mrs. Norton stated that vari-
Gus organizations come to Congress
asking that the property in which they
maintain headquarters be exempted by
special act.
. IF historic associations and patriotic
intent were made the basis of tax ex-
emption, the major portion of our
Capital City would claim this privi-
lege," Mrs. Norton emphasized.
She suggested that it might be well
to inquire into conditions surrounding
tax-exempt property in the District
with view to determining whether
some of it should not properly be re-
turned to the tax roll.
Approves Car Merger.
Regarding the prospect Of a street
car merger, Mrs. Norton said: 1T is con-
fdently believed that an extended street
car service will follow upon acceptance
OF the merger plan, which now seems
probable"
After nearly 80 years of argument,
Investigation and discussion she said,
'tlet us have the merger and then leave
the street car corporations alone"
Mrs. Norton also explained her own
old age security bills Data received
from one charitable institution" she
said, indicate that the cost of main
tanning one aged inmate Is $50 per
month. If we can reduce this by ap-
proximately one-half, and provide as
good care with more freedom and inde-
pendence, it will be another means of
reducing the direct or indirect taxes
we all must pay"

in order to give proper picture OF
the Highway Departments expendi-
lures.
Some interesting trends are shown
up. Generally speaking the figures
show small decreases for the proper
tions spent for health and sanitation
90 cents to 89 cents in the five years.,
education ga to 29.5), sharp de-
crease in public service enterprises
(6.6 to OF cents, and increases in
highways 02.2 to Is cents), miscel-
laneous (0.4 to 0.8 cents), public well
fare COS to 1873 cents), recreation
go to 7.8 cents. and general govern
ment (4.2 to los cents).
The rise in the general government
cost is almost all attributable to the
municipal center appropriations. The
decrease in public service enterprises
Is due to the completion of the Dale
carlia water supply system. In the
recreation field, the expense of play
grounds has remained absolutely sta
tionary at one-half of a cent per dol
lar, but the parks cost has gone up
from SIS to 7.3 cents in the five years
The relative cost of the police and
fire departments has been going down
OH cents to Is cents In spite of
the salary increase bills.
