WATER RATE SLASH
URGED BY CITIZENS
Brightwcod Association Also Pro.
poses Cut in Retail Price
of Milk.

A reduction in the District water
rate and the retail price of milk was
advocated in resolutions unanimously
adopted last night by the Brightwood
Citizens Association, at a meeting in
the Paul Junior High School
The water r7te, ii was stated, is con-
sidered excessive, being about four
times that charged in 1911, when an
increase was made for the improvement
to the local plants to cover a period
of three years. 1t was also said that
approximately 100000 is annually
turned into the u S. Treasury and
that this cannot be used by the Dis
trict, thus becoming surplus.
The retail price Of milk here. as COM
pared with other cities, was brought to
the attention Of members and reso-
luton was adopted urging the Fedora
ton of Citizens Associations to in
yestigate. Milk prices here were quoted
as is and 13 cents, while other cities
were paying as low as 8 cents per quart.
Robert A. Barton, president of the
City Firefghters' Association, addressed
the meeting relative to the education
Of school children in fire prevention
and use Of fire alarm boxes.

CHART SAFE LIMIT
OF STEEL CREEP
Scientists Measure Stretch
in Fight on Peril to Life
and Property.
BY HOWARD w. BLAKEsLEE.

ANN ARBOR, Micn. R.-The
once universal peril to man from the
stealthy creep" of attacking beasts has
come back into the modern world In
a new form. in the creep of steel.
Steel "creeps" when it stretches i'm
perceptibly under weight or pressure.
After its creep the metal breaks or
bursts, with peril to life and prop
erty.
All steel creeps when sufficiently hot.
Recent advances in industry have re-
quired millions of added tons of steel
apparatus to operate at and above the
lures all are black" nearly 1000 de-
grees under the point where steel be-
gins to glow redly.
Against this growing danger Uni
versity of Michigan engineers have
found safe barrier. They measure
the few millionths Of an inch which
piece Of hot steel will creep before
1t can "let 60" They find that every
kind Of steel has a fixed distance
through which 1t will creep before it
breaks.
"Creep Chambers" Used.
That distance is not much. Yet it
IS so uniform that, given a sample of
the steel, the Michigan scientists can
measure the creep and tell industri-
alists how long the steel will last on
given job.
They do this in creep chambers,
small piston-shaped electrically heated
furnaces. In them are hung spindle
shaped ramples of the steel to be
tested.
Up to 1000 degrees and more the
furnace heats this little steel strip,
with tpnnOerattirn ynver ya r,i,,o ~ any,
spot upon 1t more than two degrees,
except as the scientists wish the tenn
perature to shift.
Weights pull the steel strip. and
gauges which are read with small tele-
scopes show how much the metal elon-
gates-the creep. A movement of three
millionths OF an inch registers plainly.
A change of even two degrees in the
temperature changes the rate of
creep" For that imperceptible move
ment of the steel the magnified dial
moves between quarter and a half
inch.
The distance that steel will creep
varies both with the kind OF steel and
the temperature. 1t changes with the
load" the metal has TO carry. All of
this can be computed. So from many
parts of the world samples of steel
come to the Michigan creep labora-
tory for readings.
Steam equipment is coming into the
creep class with higher and higher
temperatures. The great oil industry
goes to even more elevated tempera-
lures. And high pressure. high tenn
perature hydrogenation which may rev.
olutionize present chemistry, is only
in its beginnings.

three shots as they fled the store, one
of the bullets striking Raedy. who had
stopped in the establishment on his way
home from work. Scuderi's revolver,
rusty from disuse, failed to discharge,
however, and the robbers escaped un-
scathed.

Italians Decline to Have
Large Families Despite
MuSsoIini'S Orders.

ROME P)-Although Mussolini fire.
quently has praised his people for their
increasing obedience, they have in at
l-ast one point failed to live up to his
hopes.
He has preached, warned, almost
commanded larger families-but the
birth rate keeps going down.
He has declared that q nation to be
powerful must be prolific and that
the blackshirt regime wants many
oamhlnf-but the number of births
is smaller each year.
Most students Of the situation be-
heVe it due to hard times. Others
think 1t new mentality.
AT any rate, the government statis-
tics department found its census re-
turns Tor the first IL months of 1922
showed that the natural increase II,
population was 44.459 below the same
period of 1881 and 129, ,364 under that
CT the first ii months of 1880. The
naJufal increase represents number of
births in excess of deaths.
Births were 40,O57 fewer than thoza
of 1881 and 98.134 under those of 1890
The increase in the number of deaths
4,4O2 over 1881 and 30.23O over 1890
was not enough to offset the difference
in births. ~''o0
Mussolini recently took extreme stems
to check an alarming decline in the
number of marriages He offered M
per cent railroad fare reductions for
honeymoon trips and figures for the
last few months show the move has
borne fruit, although comparisons bv
years are still unfavorable.
Thousands of couples took the cheap
wedding trips each month and it Is
thought many Of them would otherwise
have postponed their marriages.
An idea Of the results is given by
figures for last November which showed
31,763 weddings, compared with 31.189
in October
In the first II months of 1892. how
ever, there we're 15,059 fewer marriages

SPECULATE ON
ACTIVITIES OF
NEXT CONGRESS
MANY VIEWS EXPRESSED
RELATIVE TO STRENGTH
OF POLITICAL PARTIES
WHEN BODY REcoNVENEs
By HERBERT PLUMMER
GISy Associated PreSS)

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-Po-
litical observers, despite the fact
that the next session of congress IS
as far distant as January, already
have begun to speculate as to
what steps the democratic leader
ship will take to weld itself into a
more compact alignment.
That crucial test is to come
early in the session is a prediction
heard often.
Speaker Rainey. Floor Leader
Byrns and others high in the coun-
ellis of the party had a compare
lively easy time of it in the special
session. Party leadership came
from the other end of Pennsyl-
vania avenue in the person of the
president himself.
This is perhaps no better illus
trated than what happened in the
closing days of the session when
the presidents economy program
was endangered by the rebellion
on veterans compensation.
1t was following White House
conference with house leaders that
word went out that either the
house would stick by the president
on the veterans proposition or else
it must levy increased taxes or
its constituents.
They Had To Choose
The house reluctantly accepted
the former alternative. but moi
without rumblings of discomfort.
Rainey succeeded to the speak
ership and Byrns became floor
leader after a party battle that
left scars. And almost immediate
ly they were hurled into so swift.
moving a legislative drama that
there was little opportunity OF
need for compact leadership.
In the first stages of the game
the democrats unhesitatingly APP,
proved legislative procedure that
had the effect of throttling debate
and permitting legislation to be
enacted often without so much as
a change of a word.
Looking Ahead
However, when the regular ses.
sion conyenes in January things
are likely to be different. Per-
manent legislation then will be en-.
acted. The magic word "emer.
gency" which had so much to dc
with the success of the Roosevelt
program in the special session is
not expected to carry the same
weight.
1t may require tact and skill
then on the part of the leaders to
keep the house in line.
