these activities, and if they are
practicable, bring them to the at

Trade, Executive and Grievance

~ ROBABLY nowhere In America
today, outside Of the Metropolitan
- Museum of Art In New York, Is
there such . notable collection
of antiques gathered together
and on display as in the famous old
~Gadsby's Tavern" in Alexandria, Va.
And a very proper reliquary is that
ancient and delightfully."- historical
hostelry which yet retains an "atmos-
phere" so thick that one presumably
might scoop it up with pewter spoon.
: Amazing, too, is the fact that recent
survey Of these antiques by authorities
Of the University Of Virginia rates them
q being 100 per cent authentic, fact
which does not obtain at more than
one other American shrine.
On Flag day, 1888, Mrs. Franklin D.

partly restored" tavern and since that
date some 5000 persons have cheerfully
paid the admission fee of Is cents to
visit this inn once frequented by WASH

F. R. OFFERING
COIN TO BUILD
POWER PLANTS
Furthers Fight ON Utilities
by Promising Funds for
City Owned Plants -

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20. CUP
President Roosevelt took up the
fight for lower utility rates in
earnest yesterday by offering
federal funds to New York and
other cities seeking to build mu-
nicipal power plants.
Acting Immediately on a plea
by Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia of
New York for s15,000,000 with
which to build a municipal plant,
the president arranged confer
ence with Public Works Admins
traitor Harold L. Ickes.
Ickes instructed the mayor to
Tile an application for a loan and
grant of that amount and prom
ised it would receive preferred &C
ton. Similar loans to other cities
may be made, it was indicated.
Thus within few hours of
LaGuardia's presentation of his
plan, the preliminary steps had
been taken.
LaGuardia said the plant would
cost $7,0O0,000 and the distribu-
ton facilities an additional $780,
100000.
The 8, presidents swift moving
action gave the utility industry
concrete evidence of his determ-
nation not to be daunted by its
threat to test the constitutionality
of he governments great power
experiment in the Tennessee val
ley.
Earlier in the day, at his press
conference, Mr.. Roosevelt criti-
cized over-capitalized holding
companies. He said the utility
interests, in complaining that div
idends to investors would be re-
duced by rate reductions, failed to
distinguish between sound oper.
ating companies and, "watered'
holding concerns. 4

NEW THEATRE
is PROPERLY
VENTILATED
Ventilation System Pro.
vides Air Change Every
Four Minutes

Among the many fine features
of the new Queen theatre, which
will open Monday evening, is the
ventilating system.
Especially designed for this
house and installed after the la
test dictates of science and engi-
neering, the system is said to be
capable of changing every inch
of air in the theatre every four
minutes. The fans have been in
stalled in a penthouse on the roof
where they will take in pure,
fresh air and exhaust it, at the
desired speed, into the auditorium
in a manner which will cool IN
summer and properly ventilate in
winter. The grilles are equipped
with adjustable louvres so that
the air current may be distributed
as desired and sent into every
nook and corner of the auditor
ium without causing draft.
The same care which governed
the installation of the cooling sys-
tenn was applied to the heating
plant, which is arranged to even
ly heat the entire theatre.
The equipment throughout the
theatre is of the latest design,
and nothing has been left undone
TO give the utmost in comfort to
Queen patrons.
