Among other signs of revival of business confidence and

It has strong pressure the years of business

The Federation has embodied these rules in brief

Utility Rates
Maryland Moves for Cuts

The Maryland Public Service Commission is making
determined effort give neghbors in that reduc
tions in public utility rates.
On its initiative the commission has instituted survey
of all utilities in the State with the object of bringing
into conformity with the general price trend.
is only logical that utility rates should respond the
recent decrease in the prices of labor and materials
The local public utilities commission is striving to bring
about that condition through against Wash

In Maryland in Washington and other jurisdictions

tions the principal difficulty in reducing rates.
Many utility companies recognizing that in the last three
years there has been tremendous drop the purchasing
power of and the costs of furnishing their
services have voluntarily reduced their without obgng
utility commissions to go to the trouble and expense Of
making new valuations
These voluntary actions for the benefit consumers are
doing much to improve the public relations of the companies
While the Maryland of too recent origin to
forecast their result it would be found beneficial to
companies they could consistently accept the suggestion of
the commission for voluntary reductions.

Just Too Much
The next day the public was
in an uproar. Old mother or
no old mother-thiS was too
much. But not all agreed, AS,
for example, the writer of this
letter:
Dear Miss Robinson:
1T is a puzzle to me why
all the fuss over the death of
that parasite Stark, simply be-
cause he died "a natural death
for the criminaD at the police
station while questioned. If we
really want to get rid of such
people, why aren't the police
encouraged to act like that,
instead of being criticized?
I'm heavens name why should
a gangster be treated with silk
gloves-or even treated like a
decent citizen? We get rid of
vermin in our homes by using an
eXterminator-the stronger the
better. Why shouldn't we do
the same with human vermln?
IF there is anything we
should regret, it is that the
police do not always handle
similar cases in the same man
ner. The officers in this case
should not only be released,
but highly praised.

Maybe you don't approve OF
that letter. But many will
They, too, will feel that men
like Stark should be eliminated.

Charlotte a Puzzle
To ThackeraY

Just how these three
sisters in this environment
ever learned enough about
life and human nature to
write novels that persist
through the years is the un-
solved mystery. Their minds
turned to writing from the
earliest years. l suspect this
came to them from their
father whose lifelong ambi-
ton was to be a writer and
who did some poetry and
some dreadful sermons. In
the long winter days and
nights these sisters wrote
and destroyed their stories.
And then came the great
success of Charlotte.
I know Of nothing so
amusing as the story of the
visit of Charlotte and Emily
to London to see the pub
Usher. They were just like
any very simple, timid coun-
try folk of our day who
scarcely know how to get
around. Charlotte alone was
famous and she was almost
indecent in her timidity
toward celebrities who tried
to be kind. Thackeray found
her a puzzle and she was not
enamored of Thackeray.
After "Jane Eyre" " Char
Iotte moved on triumphantly
to other successes. The others
wrote but their recognition
came tardily. The younger
sister knew nothing much Of
life outside that of teacher
in the families of the we'll
to-do; but she wrote two
simple stories that are not
bad reading now. But hers
was not to be a great trl-
umph.
Emily was the enigma
the greatest enigma of the
three. A positive soul she
was, utterly devoted to her
sister and her dog. She lived
to write but one novel,
"Wuthering Heights, and
with the passing of the years
many of the most competent
critics have concluded that
it is the greatest book that
came out of this Haworth
household.
But where did this quiet
little woman ever get such
thoughts, ever conceive of
such plot, or Of such .
savage character as the chief
one?
The Washington times., 1932-08-15
Two Died Young
Of Tuberculosis

There was little romance
in the lives Of Charlotte or
Emily-none at all in
Emily's, so far as we know,
and yet there is something
like passion in their books,
Did they have their love life
On paper? Perhaps.
The younger sister died
Observation-Disclosures. There IS
ineffable pathos in her life
and death. 1t seems cruel
enough that she was not
buried at Haworth with her
sisters. She sleeps where
she fell.
And then Emily died
fighting to the end - from
tu b erculosis. She was
stricken while combing her
hair, and the comb, with
many teeth missing, may be
seen in the Haworth house
today. She died without
knowing that she had tri-
umphed with "Wuthering
Heights
Charlotte fingered on, mar
ried a curate, and somehow
one likes to feel that while
she may have appreciated his
kindness, one of her tempera-
ment and genius could not
have been much in love with
him. He was as drab as
possible.
Now that we know Of the
love affair with the married
professor in Brussels, we
suspect that she had but one
real love in her life and it
was. futile.

II ATHARlNE CORNELL,
IN whose consummate work
in the play written about
the Brownings was so dis
tinguished, is now in Eng
land going over a new
literary play which is to
deal with those most fas-
cinating and inexplicable of
women, the Bronte sisters.
Miss Cornell has whetted
public appetite for plays Of
this sort. And the company
of idolators of the Brontes
will assure the new play a
wide audience.
1t is not an easy matter
to account for these three
sisters, Charlotte, Emily and
Ann. They lived lives of
isolation, in a community
having no literary or cut
tural life, in. a household
dominated by a grim
preacher father who amused
himself at times standing
in the ward and firing out
upon the moors. They lived
in house that stood beside
the dreary graveyard of
Haworth church. Their own
windows looked down upon
the stones. They saw little
company. Most of their
lives they lived remote from
men, with the exception OF
the none too romantic
curates who assisted their
father or visited at the par
sonage. They were timld,
retiring; and yet all three
wrote successful novels and
two of them have taken
rank with the greatest Of
English writer's of fiction.
Strangcst of all is the fact
that after almost a hundred
years these novels seem as
though they might have
been written yesterday.
And the answer is
genius.

That's what Stark did. He

that was the real menace in
Stark.

Their Home is a
Literary Museum

I have visited the dreary
little Yorkshire village of
Haworth, spent much time
in the house with its relics
of these sisters and found 1t
the most interesting literary
museum I have seen. | have
walked upon the moors these
sisters loved-the great
lonely wind-swept moors. l
have looked down from the
windows of their rooms
upon that graveyard and
tried to imagine the state of
mind such an ever-present
scene must have created. l
have had meals at the Black
Bull tavern next to the
church and had drink there
at the little bar in the room
where the ill-starred brother
of the sisters was wont to
linger much too much and
long.
The village itself cannot
be much different from what
if was when these sisters
evaded it as much as posi-
BILE to strike out across the
moors through the back
gate. just why a town ever
was built upon that steep
rocky hill where all the
cold winds of Yorkshire
have free play is one of the
mysteries I have never
solved. With nothing to in
crease the population much,
the village just remains. The
stone houses were there with
the Brontes; they will be
there generations from now;
and few more will be built.

ascending the hill, and sub
