2 New VaCCines Tried
In Paralysis Epidemic

Animal experiments with two
new and different forms of vac
cine indicate their effectiveness
in eradicating the dread infantile
paralysis, District health officials
revealed today as the battling
disease sweeps through Virginia
and North Carolina.
Experiments are being con-
Quoted with the vaccine in North
Carolina where an epidemic of
the disease, which has left thou
sands of crippled children in its
wake, is raging.
The new vaccineS are available
only in small quantities. Officials
of the District Health Depart
ment say they have neither en-
dorsed nor rejected them. They
are awaiting final experiments to
be conducted on human beings,
pointing out that success with
animals does not necessarily
prove the effectiveness of any
vaccine in immunizing humans.
Eleven new cases of the disease
and two deaths were reported in
Virginia yesterday. One case was

3 VOLUNTEER
To FIGHT FOR
ABYSS|N|A
Youth, Who Preferred Navy,
Told Ethiopia Possesses No
Sea Fighting Craft

Three volunteers, one of whom
expressed a desire to be placed in
the Ethiopian navy, registered to-
day at the headquarters of the
Universal Multitechnic AsSocia-
ton, 1900 block U st. N. w., for
military service under Emperor
Halle Selassie in the event of war
with Italy.
Made up of Howard University
alumni with liberal views, the
group occupies office space with
medical association at the u
Street address. None of the Off
Gals of the recruiting association
was on hand during the early
morning when the three volun-
teers signed up. Their names
were taken on the back of an old
lecture advertising program.
Prefers the Navy
Bernard Flute, 10, 1900 block
U st. N. w., a powerfully built
colored youth, walked into the Of
flee and inquired:
els this where you sign up for
the WARP"
An employe of the medical as
ISOLATION handed him one Of the
programs for his signature. After
he had signed, the youth was
asked why he had volunteered
and responded:
"TO fight, I guess"
On second thought the youth
inquired:
els there any chance of get
ting in the navy? I'd rather
be in there than in the army"
He was told the Ethiopian navy
was just about on par with the
Swiss navy and if he wanted to
fight, he'd best join the army.
Satisfied, he left the office.
Other Volunteers
Other volunteers of the day
were Joseph Wilson, 20, also
colored, who said he had no ad-
dress but who expressed a desire
to serve in the Ethiopian air
corps; and Charles Almond,
white man, who said he was un-
employed.
Today's recruits brought the
total of volunteers to five, two
men having registered yesterday
and last night.

HIGH ELECTRIC
RATE RULES IN
ALEXANDRIA
Survey Places City Among 3
State "Tops"; DanviIIe
Has Lowest Schedule

Alexandria's electric rate for
the first Is kilowatt hours is
among the three highest in the
Stat, for cities of 10000 to 49,.
900 population, according to a
survey of Virginia domestic and
residential electric rates in ef'
feet January 1, 1885. The sur
vey was conducted by the Fed
eral Power Commission.
Recently Alexandria obtained
reduction in street lighting
rates, following a threat that the
city would construct it's own
power plant unless the rate re-
duction was granted.
Alexandria. Charlottesville and
Staunton pay $2.13 for Is kilo-
watt hours, which is AZ per cent
more than the rate paid by the
city in the same population class
With the lowest rate, Danville.
1OO-Hour Rate Lower
Alexandria, however, pays the
second lowest rate in it's popula-
ton class for 100 kilowatt hours,
$40. In Bristol, the lowest rate
city, the charge is 81.
However, for $50 kilowatt hours,
Alexandria climbs again to third
highest, the rate being 1899,
whereas Bristol, with the lowest
rate, pays $3.50.
Cherrydale, in the 5000 to TO-
600 population class, pays the
same as does Alexandria for Is, 100
and $50 kilowatt hours, but ranks
second high with four other COM
Llunities fol, the first: third low
for the second, and fourth high
in the third.
Arlington, in the $500 to 5000
population group, pays the same
as Alexandria and Cherrydale for
the Is. 100 and 150-hour amount.
Its charge is the lowest rate of
all the comparable towns for 100
kilowatt hours. Clarendon and
Buena Vista, in the same popula-
ton class, pay the same rates.
All are served by the Virginia
Public Service Company.
Fort Myer stands out as the
ideal in it's claSS-communitieS of
1000 to $500 population. It pays
SO cents for Is kilowatt hours,
$3.50 for 100 kilowatt hours and
$5.67 for $50 kilowatt hours, all
three figures being the lowest paid
in it's class. The Braddock Light
and Power Company, Inc, serves
this Army post community.
Other Rates Cited
In this same population class
are Falls Church, Ballston, Lees
burg, and Warrenton, which pay
$2.13 for Is kilowatt hours. The
first two pay $40 for 100 kilo-
watt hours, and the latter two
$3.50. The first two pay 1899
for $50 kilowatt hours and the
latter two, $11.25. All four are

years have been thawed out
enough to permit payment of an.
other dividend to depositorS in

ilton, receiver for the defunct in.
stitution, announced today.
Disbursement of $253,767 will
be made to approximately 5000
depositors. The sum represents
a dividend of 1919 per cent of
the amount the bank still owes
its depositors.
so Per Cent Paid Off
The Potomac Savings Bank al.
ready has paid its depositorS so
per cent of the funds tied up
when the bank failed in the
spring of 1888. It still will owe
it's depositors $821,582 after the
present dividend is paid. Receiver
Hamilton would not venture a
prediction as to when this sum
or any part of it would be paid.
Letters were sent depoSitorS to-
day instructing them to call at
the District National Bank in the
1400 block G st. N. w., for pay.
ment of the dividend. Receiver
Hamilton requested depositors to
bring with them all necessary
proofs of claim.
About 1000 depoSitorS will re-
ceive their checks tomorrow. The
remaining 1000 depositors will re-
ceiVe their payments during the
week. The entire disbursement
of the present dividend is ex-
pected to be completed by the
early part of next week.
Assessment Refused
Depositors in the Potomac Say
ings Bank received a severe blow
when the District Court of APP
peals recently ruled that stock
holders in the institution could
not be assessed under the double
liability law applying to national
banks. Receiver Hamilton antici-
pated receiving $40, 900 by assess
ing the stockholders. This money
would have been used in payment
of additional dividends to depos.

The District Court of Appeals
ruled that stockholders in the Po-
tomac Savings Bank cannot be as
SeSsed, since the bank is chartered
under the laws of Virginia, which
do not provide for the double liza
bllity assessment.
Notes in Default
Of the more than 100000 still
due depositors, approximately so
per cent is represented by notes,
many of which are in default.
The remaining amount is in the
form of real estate, and no at

Jefries has. He is merely exercis-

past reputation happens to be bad
will not slow up the campaign. For
some strange reason, you can always
ballyhoo an ex-champion back for
at least one shot at the heavy
dough.
My memory is that only one ex-
champion neglected to resort to this
time honored privilege of coming
back. This was John L. Sullivan.
Old John simply retired to the tav-
erns and proceeded to catch up With
his drinking.
All the others took the gloves off
the hooks for one more Whirl, Fitz-
simmons, Jeffries, Johnson, Willard
and Dempsey. Tunney, of course,
was never an ex-champion, and he
never came back. Like old John he
had terrific thirst to satisfy. Only
it ran to Swift instead of Scnlitz.
