Q.-Sometimes the hot water in
our house practically turns to steam.
Is this dangerous?
Ayes. unless there is a safety
release valve on the tank. If there
is one already on the tank, have it
examined to see that it is in working
order. If there is none, have one
installed.
Q.-The floor of the living room
of our new house has an awful lot
of spring in it; do you think that is
all right?
A.-Wood floors all have a certain
amount of spring, but excessive
spring is due either to the floor
ioists being too small or two widely
spaced or not sufficiently braced
with bridging. Have them examined
by some competent carpenter.

Adds to Labor Complications.
The New Deal is constantly arguing
about the increasing responsibilities Of
the Federal Government, about the
need for modernizing the Government
because the 48 States are supposed to
have outlived their usefulness in GER
tain fields of public policy, but as tine
Federal Government acquires more
power, the logical corollary is that it
might acquire more disinterestedness,
more of a spirit of fairness between
class interests, especially as the prob
lem of labor are so difficult to adjust
anyhow without adding complications
over the political activities of the tri-
bunals charged with the enforcement
of the law of labor relations.
This is one of the curious sidelights
on New Deal policy which liberals and
independents alike are at loss to ex-
plain. But 1t is the history of all
parties, whether Republican or Demo-
cratic. that once they acquire power

ME peculiar SeIlSltlVeneSS OF the
British public to infringements
of justice. their jealous pride in
u the incorruptibility of the
courts and the public services have
long been the envy of many Americans.
1t Is encouraging to remember that
this was not always so. Encouraging,
because 1t gives us the hope that we
may one day in this country. II we
keep at it, really do away with the
spoils system, and have some conf
denoe that our courts will not be SUBJ
ject to political pressures. Meanwhile,
most Of us view with q certain amaze
ment the way in which affairs like the
recent trial Of Mr.. J. H. Thomas are
conducted, wondering what would have
happened to a popular Congressman
with a huge political following in this
country, had he been suspected OF the
same crime" which caused Mr..
Thomas retirement from British
political life. And what the public
would have thought here. If two great
American newspapers were fined $l0,-
900 for writing headlines which might,
possibly, prejudice the public for or
against the defendant in a criminal
trial. That happened few days ago
in Great Britain. A desperate Irish
man fiourished a revolver in the
presence Of the King. He was imme-
diately arrested. Two newspapers re-
ferred to him in headlines as "Assas-
sin" The defendant did not sue for
libel. But the public prosecutor imme-
diately had the newspapers up, and
they were fined $4,000. The press is
not free in Britain to try criminals
and offer judgments. 1t was q felony
even to hint that q man who -four
ished a revolver at the King was an
assassin. He had right to a fair and
unprejudiced trial. In our country
criminals are freely and joyfully tried
by the press, before, during and after
the trial in the courts.
Lack Of Sensitivity.
Our own lack Of sensitivity to the
corruption Of justice Is notorious
enough. II we really cared we would
long ago have abolished the election
Of judges, whereby men who sit In
judgment over the freedom Of their
fellows can be made the subjects of
organized political pressure. And We
would not have Federal judges ap-
pointed, as two were recently, on the
advice OF Tammany and over the pro-
test Of the Bar Association. We would
not. also, have cases like the one in
Louisiana. Or II We had them, there
would be a roar from the country that
would shake the White House. But
We do not roar We are q long
suffering people and seldom roar un-
less We are ourselves directly and i'm
mediately affected.

CUT IN POWER
. RATE TO BE
STUDIED

A cut in the rate Of return per-
fnitted the Potomac Electric Power
Company under the present
/, sliding scale arrangement will be
considered by the Public Utilities
Commission at a public hearing
! starting tomorrow at 10 a. m.
The sliding scale allows the
company a minimum return of Z
per cent. It is likely that the
commission will cut this to 612
per cent In view of the sliding
scale recently approved for the
Washington Gas Light Company,
which begins with 61a per cent
minimum.
In the event the return is cut
to 612 per cent, this will make ap-
proximately $S30.000 available for
the excess profit fund on which
rate reductions are based. How
ever, the possible cut will have no
effect on rate reductions for 1886,
since the terms Of the sliding scale
provide the reductions are based
on previous year-or in this III
stance 1935-buSineSS.
Later in the month the commits
sion will conduct its public hear
ing on rate reductions.
Last year the company reported

which were used as a basis for
rate reduction. It is expected a
similar report will be filed this
year as the result Of reports made
