For no particular reason we think
they've done right by Let's Fall in
Love" The film is a gentle thing,
neither so great nor so small as to
warrant any unusual kind of howl.
But it has two splendid tunes; that
man Gregory Ratoff, who never gets
his due; Ann Sothern, who used to
be Harriet Lake and who has i'm
proved so that you won't recognize
her, and Edmund Lowe, who plays
mostly for and to the ladies.
Nevertheless. in spite Of its gentle
ness and the fact that they take neat
little pokes at the great Carlo, we're
pretty certain that you'll like the film.
With the help Of its major theme song
and another tune about a Silver
Moon" which a popular Georgetown
lady tells us comes straight from
Music in the Air" the story recounts
the troubles Director Lane Edmund
Love- has in finding a Swedish
heroine when his blue-ribbon icicle
(and pretty hot at that walks out
on him. Securing the country for a
Swedish find" poor Director Lane
is at his wits end when. pronto, he
barges into Ann Sothern. a blonde
circus charmer who invites young
men to throw base balls at interesting
bulls-eyes and whom he realizes at
once is the answer to his prayers.
The sudden and bewildering rise of
this circus girl to a picture star who
is so great that no newspaper dareS
appear without daily front page
editorial on the same, is the basis
for the plot. And all is well when
Lanes fiancee (or "feeanceee." as he
dubs herr rises in wrath at a social
function and as Miss Sothern sings
Lets Fall in Love" full into Mr..
Lanes face, she tosses her punch
glass on the floor, works up some
fine hysteria, and tells the word that
Miss Sothern is no Swede but com-
mon little so-and-so.
This crucial debacle almost wrecks
the happy ending-but, if you'll Se
patient, you'll find love ard virtue
rewarded, the film ending with as
nice a closeup as you'll find.
All Of this is played most attrac-
lively by Miss Sothern, who has
learned to sing and also to act; by
Mr., Ratoff, who is about two-flfthS
of the picture, and by Edmund Lowe,
who is OK. If you like him. We
also should like to put in a word for

Rumors that DR.. William Mann,

that way. He acquired a taste

brightly colored, were offered him
by his little friends.

Elimination of congestion in the

were subjects of vigorous fights
before the District subcommittee
of the House Appropriations Com
mittee today.

priations for 1886 some time to-

In his decision, the Comptroller
said:
"It would appear that the
course followed by the District
officers was contrary to law.
The practice in this respect
should be corrected"
The Comptroller, however, au-
thorized in this case the payment
of $1,035 to McCloskey & Co., of
Philadelphia, for installing a

was entitled to be paid, even

WORKERS HOPE
To SAVE JOBS

A slender thread of hope was
held out to some of the $50
Treasury Department employees
facing discharge by orders of
the Civil Service Commission be-
cause their work had been de-
fined by the Commission as per.
manent instead of temporary.
Commission officials today ad-
mitted that any of those en-
ployes who have already success
fully passed Civil Service ex-
aminations may possibly be re-
tanned with the permanent status
to which they are entitled. The
others must give way to qualified
employees.
At the Agricultural Depart
ment, it was admitted at the
Civil Service Commission, a num-
ber employed in general clerical
work are in exactly the same
status as the $50 Treasury en-
ployes, but no order has come
through yet defining their work
as permanent and invoking the
quota law.

D. c. PAROLE
SYSTEM
Board Member Sees Need of
$4,000 Fund, Staff to
Handle Situation

AS Wilbur La Roe, jr., member
Of the District Parole Board, let
loose a barrage of criticism
against the administration Of local
parole laws, police today were
questioning here another alleged
parole violator.
Henry George Carter, "a, under
indictment in Washington as an
accessory in the Melincov-lMc.
Mahon murders here several
months ago, was arrested by po-
lice last night, charged with being
a violator of a Federal parole.
Carter was proled from Camp
Eustace, Va, in August 1888,
where he was serving a term for
assaulting a Federal officer.
Mr.. La Roe made clear that he
found no fault in the parole Sys-
tenn as presented by the statute
books. He said:
"The parole system is adequate
in theory. The fault lies in the
administration of the system"
One Man for d. C..
In support of his declaration,
the board member pointed out that
there is only one parole officer for
the entire District jurisdiction.
Upon this officer rests the sole
responsibility for 200 paroled pris-
oners, he added.
True, there is a probation super
visor at the District Jail, Mr.. La
Roe explained, but the functions
of the probation department. are
distinct from the duties of the
parole officer, the former dealing
with the conduct OF those con-
victed of offenses but not sentenced
to jail, and the latter dealing with
exprisonerS.
The failure of the Washington
parole system can be directly
attributed to the lack of appro-
priations for its proper admins
tration, according to Mr.. LaRoe.
Not one cent is appropriated
for Parole Board members, he
stated, even for taxi fare or
correspondence expenses, and the
only outlay consists of the $1,000
salary of the single parole officer.

w. Wiley. president of the Dis.

Women's Clubs, accompanied by
Mrs. Edward Chaplin, of the
American Association of Univer.
sity Women, fought vigorously for
an appropriation of $4,000 for
a new school to replace the Den
nison School, a vocational insti'
tuition.
Both women told the subcom,
mittee the Dennison School is
greatly overcrowded. totally made
quate for it's present needs and
that the present structure was
never intended as a vocational
school.
AS a further argument for the
appropriation, the women cited
the fact that the District already
owns a site at Arkansas Avenue
and Allison Street Northwest,
where the new building could be
erected. The women said they
knew the item was not included
in the District budget and pleaded
with the subcommittee to insert
it before the bill goes to the
House.
Mrs. Leslie Wright, chairman
of the building committee of the
Alice Deal Junior High School,
asked the subcommittee for an
appropriation of $4,000 for a

DISTRICT
ENTITLED To
LOW COST
No Justification, He Declares,
for Upward Revision Be-
Iieved Contemplated

Recent published inferences to
the effect that the Public Utili
ties Commission may decide or
an upward revision of electric
light rates next year today drew
from Senator Pat McCarran CD,
of Nevada, the declaration that
if such a decision is made "the
commission should be investi
gated"
The fiery Nevada Senator, a
member of the Senate District
Committee, who has been advo
eating that the Government take
over the public utilities here, as
serted that there can be no justi
fication for the commission de
Gliding on an upward revision
Should Be Low
When it was suggested that
the rate here now is one of the
lowest in the country, Senator
McCarran said:
II don't care how low the
rate here is. 1t should be low.
1 feel this way about the public
utilities in the Capital city:
large part of the people who
live here are forced to do so
because they have positions
with the Government and this
is the seat of Government, SO
they have to come here"
Those who do come here to
serve their Government must
take whatever prices exist ir
Washington. Therefore, it is the
duty of the Government and
Congress to see that the city
keeps it's public utility rates at
a minimum.
Another point I wish to bring
out in this connection is that the
rates should remain low because
for one thing, the large part of the
business of the company is fixed
These Government departments
must buy electricity for lighting
purposes, and that is to the ad
vantage of the power companies
Also, it should be pointed out
that the cost of reproducing the
plant would not be high"
Would Probe Rates
Senator McCarran announced
early this fall that he would take
steps during the coming session
of Congress to see that low
public utility rates prevailed in
Washington. He intimated that
the public utility companies here
should be investigated, and later
declared he would sponsor legls-
lation looking to the Government
taking over local utilities.
More recently, the NeVadan
has joined a movement with Sen
ator Norris (RO, of Nebraska, to
revive the latter's proposal OF
