Joined the wolf on her doorstep and
something must be done.
just when she comes to the end
of her rope, the long arm of coinci-
dence reaches out to fill her heart
with new hope. Dolores, her COM
panion, whom she helped through
a severe illness, falls heir to small
fortune through the settlement of
the estate of her late husband, Jack
Pennington.
This estate she is to divide with
Captain Pennington of the navy,
Jacks brother, who has had an I'M
fortunate love affair and diStrusts
women.
AS Dolores, from a fanatical dis
like for her husbands relatives, re-
fuses to take the inheritance, Gloria
perSuades her to let her imper-
senate Dolores by posing as Jacks
widow. This is the foundation of
the plot.
Gloria, who has traded places
with Dolores, visits the Pennington
home, and promptly persuadeS them
of her authenticity, and, almost as
promptly, falls in love with Captain
Pennington. When the two strait
laced Spinster aunts of the Captain
discover this, they are Mortified
that is, until Gloria intimates that
she Is of royal lineage.
This changes matters slightly, for
the auntS are crown worshippers,
and they take Gloria into their
arms. Suddenly, on the eve of the
wedding, Jack, who was pronounced
dead only by rumor, appears on the
scene and upsets the promising
scheme of the fictitious widow.

has played many times, that of

heart. They marry and for a time
Buster revels in the remuneration of
her hopes and submerges her former
ambitions in her love for her hus-
band.
But Wallie turns out to be a
ne'er-do-well, lovabIe yet unde-
pendable, earning his precarious lily
ing by gambling. Hardly is the
honeymoon over when Buster dis
covers his nefarious occupation. Her
great trust in him naturally lessons
as he makes and breaks promises to
work and to refrain from gambling.
A bitter quarrel sends Wallie to
distant city without Buster. Alone,
with dwindling funds and expecting
baby, she resorts to his practice
by placing her last cent on a horse
because its name was Baby Mine.
At this point an interesting eli
max is reached in the film that is
thought to leave the spectator
rather overwhelmed with joy. The
comedy situations are handled by
Winnie Lightner and Guy Kibbe in
roles Of unappreciated sweethearts.
Norman Foster, Indiana boy, is
seen as the young husband. Other
important roles are handled by
Dorothy Burgess, James Ellison,
Polly Walters and Mae Madison.

ment to Garry Out Laws Intent
Will be Made by Congress.

Some $500 postal employees, retired
July 10 under provisions OF the economy
bill. are in danger of losing approx
mately s1o2,212 IN retirement pay, it
was learned yesterday.
The bill automatically retiring super
animated employees became effective last
June 80. To give the Post Office De-
partment opportunity properly to notify
its widely scattered employees, however,
President Hoover signed an executive
order extending the date Of their re-
tirement to July 10.
Stand Barred in Letter.
Controller General McCarl now has
held that they are not entitled to re-
ceive any retirement pay until August /,
a loss of 81 days.
Mr.. McCarl has not issued formal
ruling. but in a recent letter to Repre-
sentative Mead of New York, chairman
of the House Postal Committee, he ex-
pressed the opinion that under the law
they were not entitled to retirement pay
for the period from July 10 to July 81.
The controller general said the act OF
April %. 1890, which says retirement
pay shall begin on the first day of the
month following the date of the re-
tirement, is still in effect. Conse-
ouently. retirement pay for the en-
ployes retired on June 80 begins July
/, but not until August for the group
held over by the Presidents order.
Others Not Affected.
John S. Beach. chief of the Retire
ment Division. Veterans Adminlstra-
ton. said he knew of no other employees
similarly affected.
At the Post Office Department 1t was
said that the retirement pay cannot be-
gin until August if Mr. McCarl stands
on the opinion expressed in his letter

however. said the law clearly intended
that retirement pay was to commence
on the day following retirement and

Inspector E. w. Brown, assistant super
intendent Of police in command of the
Traffic Bureau. began check-up today

operators who have failed to procure
the new S25 license.
According to the estimates of Wade
H. Coombs. superintendent of licenses,
owners of approximately 1400 cabs
have not applied for the license. Police,
however. do not know whether these
unlicensed vehicles are in operation, or
whether they have been taken off the
street
Owners of the cabs found in operation
without license. Inspector Brown said,
will be prosecuted Thus far, less than
a half dozen unlicensed cabs have been
found on the streets
Reports have reached the Office of the
hack inspector that number of the
cab operators have taken the vehicles
off the street rather than pay the i'll
creased license fee, which the new Dis
trict license code raised from So to SIS
year. In addition, a character IL
cense costing SIS is required.
Hack Inspector Manson said one large
cab company had put 100 of its feet
of cabs in garage in order to save the
81 500 required for licenses for these
vehicles. A number of independent
drivers also have gone out of business

Under the relief act just signed by
President Hoover the corporation must

Edwin Thayer. the Senate's secre-

Representative Rainey, the House
Democratic leader, has argued that in
so doing the officials will be guilty OF

Contending most of the 73 commits

Government could be abolished, Senator
Mcclellan, Democrat, of Tennessee said
today he would take up his views on
this subject with the special Senate
Economy Committee when it is consid-
ering further savings in expenditures at
the next session. Senator McKellar is
one Of the Democratic members of this
committee
Just before Congress adjourned Sen
ator Hale, Republican. of Maine placed
in the Record list of these boards and
commissions, together with the appro-
priations for them. for the purpose Of
showing that Congress has not been ex-
travagant in providing for these agen-
cies. Commenting on the Hale state
ment. Senator McKellar said:
His purpose was stated to show that
all of them cost only $45, ,722,000. Well.
even that is big sum, and in my judg-
ment the most Of these 73 commissions
and bureaus could be easily abolished"

The Tennesseean also urged abolition
Of the Federal Farm Board. Discuss

sion, he said he was not so sure it ought
not to be abolished adding, 'in all events
it ought to be thoroughly reorganized." !"
He advocated doing away with the Bu-

They're not so ardent at fishing most
of them. but what they lack in en-
thusiasm for the sport of Izaak Walton
they make up for in patience and
comfort.
There's never enough fishing to get
excited about-as a matter OF fact. the
fish they catch are nothing to get ex-
cited about-so life just goes on lazily
and comfortably, no perspiration about
the proposition at all, while dinner
comes literally leaping into their laps.

POWER CONTRACTS
OUTSIDE STUDIED
BY COMMISSION
Ample Protective Clauses and
Advantageous Rate Structure
Desired for Capital.
PEPCO WOULD TAP
EXTENSIVE NETWORK
1nterconnection With Safe Harbor-
Baltimore Hydro-Electric
System Proposed.

The Public Utilities Commission and
William A. Roberts, its general counsel,
1t was learned today, are making a
serious study Of the contract under
which the Potomac Electric Power Co
will tap the resources OF an extensive
network of power lines converging the
wide territory from Niagara Falls to
Cape Cod and from the ST. Lawrence
and upper Connecticut Rivers to Balti-
more and surrounding territory.
The power company entered into the
contract with the Consolidated Gas &,
Electric Light e. Power Co. Of Balti-
more. subsidiary of the Aldred util-
ity group Of Northern Maryland and
Southeastern Pennsylvania. The con-
tract calls for an interconnection be-
tween Pepco and the Safe Harbor
Baltimore Hydro Steam system. giving
Washington the advantages of an out
side source Of supply from large and
diversified power system to supplement
its own steam-generated source OF
supply.
In Co -ordinated System.
The Safe Harbor development is on
the Susquehanna River between Co.
lumbia, Pa. and the Chesapeake Bay,
and is connected through tie lines with
the adjacent HOLLYWOOD development.
The two water power plants and the
steam station at HOLLYWOOD are part of
the co-ordmated hydro and steam power
system of which the steam plants Of
the Consolidated Gas. Electric Light &
Power Co. constitute the principal
steam reserve All these properties and
the Pennsylvania Water g. Power Co.
are controlled by the Aldred interests Of
New York and Baltimore.
The Pennsylvania Railroad has con-
tracted for power from this co-ordi-
mated steam and water power system for
the electrification of its lines from the
Susouehanna crossing at Harvre de
Grace to Washington.
Interconnection in Effect.
The system already is interconnected
with the hightension lines of the
Metropolitan Edison Co. and other
power companies in Pennsylvania, and
through the new arrangements negotia-
ted with Pepco, which Is controlled by
the North American Company. provi-
sion is made for an interchange of
power between the Washington steam
plants. and the water power plants on
the lower Susquehanna.
Roberts and the commission are
studying the contract to determine
whether it has ample protective clauses
and an advantageous rate structure
Both of these features. it was said, ap-
pear on cursory examination to be
satisfactory to the commission and
Roberts. and indications are that the
contract will be formally approved.
