Indiana Members to
Be Guests of Society

Unusual interest attends the opening
meeting Of the Indiana Society which
will be held in the large ball room of
the Shoreham Hotel on the evening of
January l6. Due to administrative
changes, there are many newcomers
from Indiana in Washington, and In
order to get them acquainted quickly
with those here from their particular
section OF the State, the first meeting
Of the season will be on the order of a
convention.
The guests of the evening will regis
ter with q registration chairman from
their own district. There will be dis
trict tables with chairman appointed
by the members of Congress of each
district, and it is thought that these
tables will be points of interest during
the evening, as around them will gather
the newcomers and residents already
here.
The Representatives and their wives
will be in the section assigned to their
district, and in that manner every one
will have an opportunity to see and
speak with them.
Immediately after the new officers
take Office the receiving line will form
while the floors are being cleared for
dancingJ During the intermission 0
buffet supper will be served. after which
dancing will continue until late hour.
Every Indianian in Washington Is
urged to attend this Indiana conven-
tion meeting. Cards may be obtained

WAS waiting my turn WIN
number Of others having some spe-
cial business at the bank.
i AS I sat there my attention was
occupied with the attractive young
girl seated at a desk nearby. I was not
the only one who noticed her. There
was a man sitting next to me.
The girl was entirely oblivious to our
attention, however. Decorative. as she
was she was undoubtedly useful. too,
for she was busy as a bee making rec
ords in a card file.
AS I looked at her I commented to
myself how foolish were the suggestions
occasionally heard for routine type
of dress for business girls. how much
life and color was added to this drab
bank Office by the heliotrope woolen In
which this girl was SO becomlngly
dressed.
She was the china doll type of blond,
petite, blue eyed, small featured. Not
only was she attractive of feature and
coloring, but how beautifully she was
groomed Not a blond strand was out
of place. no ink or carbon paper spots
marked her we'll manicured hands. An
ornament, thought, to any ofice.
And then her telephone rang and
shock tangled its way right through
me. Out Of those beautifully modelled
lips came a harsh, rasping "HelloP
And then, outshocking the shock, the
same voice, no less rasping, but almost
masculine in its hardness: well, what
m goin' to do with the papers?"
What rice marcelles ard manicures
and color schemes? Who was 1t VINO

which distinguishes the golden from the

New Firing Lines.
IT ALWAYS thought" said Justice
L Oliver Wendell Holmes when ne
was 80 years old, that when got to
be fourscore I could wrap up my life in
q scroll, tie q pink ribbon around 1t,
put It away In q drawer, and go around
doing the things wanted to do. But
I learned that when you have taken
one trench there is always a new firing
line beyond"
That was when he was 80-deciding
that there was always new firing line!
So we might guess-if SO many wash
ington writer's had not said 1t OF him
that at 80 and past 80, this man was
interesting, he was living to the fullest
extent. and he was one of the few OF
whom people would hazard the opinion
that he was happy. And when, near
91, he finally retired from the Supreme
Court bench, what he did to remain
happy was probably to live as nearly as
possible the same busy kind OF life ne
had always led.

Seeing the Golden and Cilded
BY JEAN NEWTON.

No one pitied Justice Holmes for not
being able to retire, and, at 80, do the
things wanted to do" The things We
have always wanted to do are very
likely with most of US. to be food for
just a Summer, and to pail before
vacation time is over. What we all
want to do is to live fully as lcng as we
live, to be doers and givers as long as
we live, to live with Eest for ourselves
and interest for others.
That was one advantage that men, in
past generations, had over women.
They stayed interesting longer, because
they stayed longer, as a rule, in a
vortex of activity They were not, in
middle life. like most of their wives,
left high and dry with the privilege of
deciding what 1t was they wanted to do
There were always too many things
they were called upon to do' And
that is the great boon for women in
this day and age-the opportunity for
interests and activities which do not
end when their children grow up, in
terests and even work outside the home
which give them into the later years
what the French call "raison d'etre"-
a reason for being. Rather we should
say of these activities that what they
give us Is q reason for being busy for
being necessary, for being important,
for being interested in every day, and
therefore for being interesting

each corner put a decoration. such as

use the card motifs. When this has

P, j. {. To MAKE
REDUCT|ONFOR
NEXT YEAR
Extent of Saving to Users Will
Depend on Audit of
PepCo Profits

The Public Utilities Commits
sion. today announced there will
be "some" reduction in electric
light rates for the District next
year.
Under the recapture clause fol
local public utilities, the electric
light company is entitled to a
per cent profit on its rate base
which is more than $66,O00,000
One half of the percentage ot
profit allowed is recaptured anc
the money applied to a reduced
rate.
The commission in an official
statement said:
"RateS for electric current in
the District have been reduced
each year for nine consecutive
years by order of this commits
sion, and, while it is conceivable
that there may be a point be-
yOnd which no further reduc-
ton is possible, that point has
not been reached. There will be
some reduction in rates for 1885.
However, neither we nor anyone
else will be able to state with
any assurance the extent of such
reduction until the results of the
operations of the present calen-
dar year are known. These
facts will not be available until
about the middle of January.
"Since last August we have
had a corps of engineers and &C
cOuntantS investigating the rate
base and other facts of record of
the Potomac Electric Power
Company, preparatory to the an
nual hearing usually held Janu-
ary or February. While 1t is
true that the prevailing rates
for electric current in Washing
ton are far below the national
average, that fact has no bear
ing on the determination of
local rates."

17,500 AUTO TAG
APPLICATIONS
RETURNED
Absence of New Addresses,
Ignored Parking Tickets
Trip Hundreds Daily

Seventeen thousand, five hun
dred applications for new tags
have been returned to the Depart
ment of Vehicles and Traffic be-
cause of wrong addresses, accord
ing to officials of the department
who predict a laStrminute rush.
Motorists who have failed to
notify the department of changes
of addresses are coming in at the
rate of 1900 a day. And those
who heretofore have blandly ig-
nored parking tickets are finding,
to their sorrow, that the only way
to get 1885 automobile license
is to put up collateral.
40 Warrants Daily
Two traffic officers and eight
CWA workers are working more
than eight hours a day in an ef-
fort to expedite matters. For the
past week warrants have been
served at the rate of 40 a day and
an increase is confidently pre-
dicted.
Scores of excuses are given by
erring motorists, but the police
find the majority are sadly lack
ing in originality.
One man who had to put up $23
collateral to cover nine warrants
insisted someone else was driving
his car at the time.
All Must Pay Up
The usual excuse is that it
must have been some other guy"
and 1--WE been out of the city
and didn't know anything about
it," But they all have to pay
up just the same.
The two traffic officers han
ding the warrants are Foster
Rowan and George Cook. The
law requires that a motorist no.
tify the Traffic Bureau of any
change of address within 70 hours,
and 1880 motorists are finding
out that failure to do so is costing
them plenty in time and trouble.

A.F.G.E. ASSA|LS
CANCELLATION
PROPOSAL
Civil Service Plan Inadequate,
Clerk Union Declares;
Appeals Court Urged

The American Federation of
Government Employees today took
issue with the report of the Civil
Service Commission which would
authorize the Commission to in
vestigate and conciliate Difficult
ties between employees and their
superiors.
Contending that such an investi-
gatory body would not be ade-
quate, the Federation reiterated
its demand for creation of Civil
Service Court of Appeals to iron
out the problems arising between
employees and employers.
A Cancellation committee, such
as the commission recommends, is
now in operation at the commits
sion itself and, according to the
federation, is inadequate to handle
the many grievances arising out of
removals, reductions in compensa-
ton or ratings and suspensions.
The proposal to establish a sta
tistical bureau in the office of the
Civil Service Commission was in
dorsed by the federation. The en-
ploye organization pointed out
that it has frequently called on
the commission to furnish figures
and that the Government unit has
been unable to do so.

BUILD
Larger Schools
Needed in DC.
OVERCROWDED

The need for the construction
of both junior and senior high
schools to accommodate the great
increases in school population was
emphasized today by local school
officials.
With hearings on the local
school budget for 1885 completed
by the District subcommittee OF
the House Appropriations Commit
tee. the school officials declared
that the enrollments in junior and
senior high schools are far beyond
the normal capacity of the build
ings in which they are housed.
The combined enrolment of the
white and colored senior high
schools is 1920, whereas the ca
pacity of the eight buildings Is
only 1920. Of these, Eastern is
most crowded, its enrolment ex.
ceeding its capacity by more than
300.
Western comes next where the
enrolment is zoos with the build
ing originally built to accommo-
date only 1,500.
The junior high school situation
is equally bad, the officials said.
There the enrolment is 1888,
with the combined capacity OF the
II schools only 16,190.
The Junior high school conges-
ton is centered at Deal, Eliot,
Gordon, Hine, Langley and Paul.
