End Of World Seen
In African Crisis

Fear that the present italian
Ethiopian crisis may be fore
runner of the Bible-prophesied
battle of Armageddon. which, &C
cording to Scripture, is to ring
down the curtain on: all present

pressed today by Seventh Day Ad-

The Ethiopian situation, cou-
pied with the spending of millions
by all nations on defense pro
grams and war preparations and
the jealousy, greed and hate de-
veloped during the last few years,
leads Adventists the world over

Protest Eating With
CoIored Persons in
!. c. c. Building

Protests against the serving of
colored officials and clerks of the
Department of Labor in the new
Interstate Commerce Department
cafeteria have crystalliZed in a Pc
tition demanding that a color line
be drawn.
1t was learned today that the
petition was signed by white Gov
eminent workers, chiefly from
Southern States, who objected to
eating lunch in the same room as
colored persons, Notwithstanding
that the latter are said to hold
higher grades in the Government
service than most of those pro-
testing.
Today it was indicated the prob
lem had been solved temporarily
by voluntary withdrawal of the
colored workers when informed
there was objection to their eat
ing there.
Appeal to Perkins
Feeling ran so high that white
employees of the Department of
Labor who patronized the cafe
terra appealed to Frances Perkins,
Secretary of Labor, to draw the
color line. Miss Perkins is quoted
by the clerks as having said the
Negroes had as much right to sit
at tables in the cafeteria as the
white clerks" and that lit was
perfectly all right with her"
Reports that the, cafeteria in
the Interstate Commerce Depart
ment was being boycotted and
that government workers were
crowding the Post Office cafe
terias not patronized by colored
workers, were borne out in part
by an Investigation at noon to-
day. The Post Office Department
cafeteria was more crowded than
that of the Interstate Commerce
Department, and workers when
questioned admitted they were
lunching there because colored
persons insisted on eating in the
Interstate Commerce cafeteria.
Can't Bar Negroes
In the Interstate Commerce
cafeteria, employees when asked
whether colored people were per-
mitted to eat there snapped back:
well, we can't keep them

The head dietician of the cafe

1856 PER CENT
DIFFERENCE
SHOWN
Power Commissions
Survey Compares
Other Cities

Residential electricity consum.
erS here pay the Potomac Electric
Power Company from IL to Sc per
cent more for their current than
do average residential and farm
users supplied by the IVA.
This. was revealed today by q
comparison of rates of TVA-sup-
piled municipalities with Federal
Power Commission surveys of
Washington and other leading
cities. !.
The Power Commission bases
it's study on several categories of
household power consumption
from the home where lighting
and small appliances consume
only IS kilowatt hours per month
to the residence where lighting,
refrigeration, cooking and water
heating bring the monthly con-
sumption to 500 kilowatt hours.
The Tennessee Valley Authority
has prepared similar data.
Survey Compares Rates
According to the Power Com
mission, typical bills for lighting
and small appliances in Washing
ton homes show Is, Is or 40 kilo-
watt hours of electricity con-
sumed monthly, for which charges
OF IS cents, SO cents and $1.56 are
made. These monthly bills COM
pare with As cents, rs cents and
$1.20 charged IVA consumers for
Identical quantities of power.
Where refrigeration is added,
the Power Commission explains
that typical monthly bills show
100 and $50 kilowatt hours used
in Washington, for which the Po-
tomac Electric Company charges
$3.50 and 1895 respectively. For
100 and $50 kiloWatt hours used in
TVA7supplied municipalities, the
charges are $3.50 and $3.50.
With the addition of electric
cooking apparatus the Power Com
mission reports that monthly con-
sumption goes to $50 kilowatt
hours for which the Washington
bill is 1857. This increases to 500
kilowatt hours and $1O.1O when
electricity is also used for water
heating.
Tacoma UnderselIs iva
In only one city, Tacoma,
Wash, is iva undersold, accord
ing to the Federal Power Com
mission. There the municipality
owned company charges $2.40 for
100 kilowatt hours, $3.50 for $50,
and $6.4O for 500 hours. On the
ether extreme, the Power Com.
mission states, are Jacksonville,
Fla, where the municipal company
gets ST for 100 kilowatt hours,
and Yonkers, N. Y, where a
privately owned company charges
$15.85 and $28.35, respectively,
for $50 and 500 hours.
In Cleveland and Columbus.
Ohio, a 6O-cent rate obtains for
IS kilowatt hours as against
Miami, Fla, where Sill prevails.
In Cleveland a rate of SO cents
for Is hours and $1.31 for 40
hours is in force, and again on
the other extreme is Miami, Fla.
with $2.76 and $4.18 for these two
categorieS.

Members Of House
Hotter Than Those
OF Upper Chamber

Members of the House are "hot-
ter" than members Of the Senate.
At least, so it has been de-
termined by the specialists who
have to keep track of the at.
moSpheric conditions in the House
and Senate chambers.
It's all because the average age
of the House members is eight
years less than that of Senators.
For that reason, the tempera-
ture in the Senate is kept three
degrees above that of the House.
1t was explained by Capitol ex-
perts today that the older the per-
son is the more heat his body de-
mandS.
1t was explained further that
the comfort of persons in air
cooled chambers depends on three
things-the rate of the air current,
the temperature and the humidity.
In the Senate the rate of air
current is Is feet per minute, in
the House % feet; the humidity
in the Senate about so per cent,
and in the House about the same,
while the House temperature is
about 10 and in the Senate 80.

ST|RSH HEALTH
FIGHT
Experts Disagree on
Effects Of Changes
in temperature

While sweltering Washington
ians revel in air-cooled shops,
theaters, restaurants, hotels and
Government departments, engi-
neers and health authorities broke
out in a rash today over the ef-
feet of sudden and substantial
changes of temperature on the hu.
man system.
In an article on ventilation
problems of the House and Senate.
appearing in the United States
Naval Medical Bulletin, DR.. George
w. Calver, U. S. NJ, who for many
years has been assigned to protect
the health of members of Congress,
says:
"A drop of only seven degrees
with a humidity Of approx
mately so per cent has been the
cause of complaint (Outside air
Sc, inside air 79), yet frequently
differences of 20 to 30 degrees
are maintained and are adver-
tiSed as a drawing attraction.
This great drop can only be con-
demned, for the cirCulatOry
change is too great, and, except
in the young and vigorous per-
son, is likely to start an acute
illness. The reaction on leaving
these excessively cold places is
always depressing and is always
in proportion to the relative
humidity and velocity Of the out"
side air."
AIR COOLING DEFENDED
But DR.. George H. Rutland, Dis
trict Health Officer, feels that
people are better off in air-cooled
establishments than elsewhere. He
declared: g..
"NO particular harm can
come from atmosphere 20 or 20
degrees cooler than the outside
air. People working in hot Ue-
partment stores or restaurants
are less active, less ambitious,
and less willing to be bothered
with the WhimS of customers.
"The natural tendency is to
set up a defense reaction
which is generally detrimental
to the store owner inaSmuch
as the clerks ambition to sell
is lowered by the excessive
heat"
PUBLIC WANTS 1T
There is more harm done, DR..
Rutland insisted, when people
come out of heated offices into
cold winter streets.
John L. Maggie, engineer In
charge of the new Government
buildings, took a middle ground.
He said:
1--WE keen our buildings IL to
Is degrees cooler than the out
side temperature. We consider
anything below that detrimen-
tai to health"
Temperatures in Washington
shops. theaters and hotels range
from 10 to 78 degrees while out
side the thermometers hang
around So.
Merchants reported a definite
demand from the public for cool
temperatures.

"And I wouldn't blame you."
Then, briefly as he could, Dick
told them the tale of the tunnel,
while Barnes eyes grew wider
as its vast possibilities thrilled
him until he paced nervously
about the floor, his long fingers
opening and shutting, his deep
set eyes burning with newly
awakened zeal.
"The question now is" Dick
concluded. "Can we raise about
fifty thousand dollars?"
Can we?-we've got tot"
So through the night they

had never been born"
CHAPTER Al
So it was perhaps for that
reason a middle-aged person of
trusting aspect stepped from
the EaStbound train three days
later and registered at the
hotel as H. Wellington Wack
OF Los Angeles. Mr.. Wack,
according to a prominent
notice in the arrival column"
OF the Verde Times, as well as
by his own admission, repre-
Sented certain unnamed Eastern
capitalists interested ir pro-
noting irrigation. It 4as an
admission well calculated to
make H. Wellington Wack,
Esq, exceedingly popular in
Verde within an incredibly
short space Of time
For the attack by Lowell and
Barnes upon the validity of
the survey and the honesty of
Sari'S scheme had brought the
stock of the Verde Irrigation
Company to an acutely low
ebb, until many of Sari's panic
stricken followers would have
been glad to sell at almost any
price provided they could find
someone to buy. But until
Mr.. Wack appeared with his
bright, trusting eyes, like a
welcome angel from Heaven, a
market for stock in the Verde
Irrigation Company simply did
not exist. Now all was magni-
ficently changed. Before noon
the visiting capitalist bought
two large blocks of stock held
by Sari's henchmen, and Sari
himself, hearing the glad news,
sent word to Verde that he
would be delighted to see the
gentleman that very afternoon
and lay an unusually attrac.
tive proposition before him.
Possibilities
Even to Sari's thrifty eyes
it was one of the few ways
remaining to save something
from the wreckage that Dicks
attack had brought in the
affairs of the company. In
spite Of Sari's numerous enter
priSes, or perhaps because of
them, money had always been
his desperate need-now more
than ever. And ready cash
might be a very handy thing
if the rancherS pushed their
fight too vigorously and made
the desert country temporarily
unhealthy.

Inside, with a glad cry the
girl sprang forward and flung
wide open the door to see in
the lamplight Dicks tall form
totter forward. Her face went
ashen, and throwing both arms
about his waist, she held him
until Barnes carried him to a
chair. But the spell of weakness
was only momentary, and in a
moment Dick opened his eyes

His tongue seemed to have

She ran to pour a glass of

Two Are Sentenced
For Drunk Driving
Walter Peone Gets Jail Term;
Alvin Stensgar Fined
$3.50

Drunken driving brought a Jail
sentence for Walter Peone and a
heavy fine for Alvin Stersgar
(Stranger) and caused both to re-
linquish their drivers licenses for
one year, when they admitted TIER
guilt at hearing held in superior
court last week before Judge
William G. Brown.
Peone admitted that he had
driven his car while intoxicated and
was sentenced to four months in the
county Jail. He must pay the court
costs and refrain from driving a
car for IL months. He was arrested
at Nespelem after he allegedly had
backed over and killed Joe frank.
Evidence indicated the mishap was
accidental.
Stensgar was arrested at Mes
pelem last Friday when a car he
was driving crashed into another
machine on a turn between Mes
pelem and the Colville Indian
agency. He pleaded guilty and was
fined $3.50, which he agreed to pay
in $40 monthly installments. His
drivers license was revoked for a
year.
