the nights of November IL and IL.
The first Of these will be in the or

While many of the names of the
dancers in the troupe are known to
thousands of ballet lovers. the Monte

There are eight members of the COM
pany who are classed as principals.
and 1t is their function to assume the
leading roles in the entire repertoire.
But no dancer takes all the stellar
roles. Col. de Basil's idea is that all
of his eight principals shall be ready
at any time to dance minor roles. or
even appear with the corps de ballet.
And, vice versa. members of the bal
let must be trained to dance major
roles should an emergency arise. The
ballet is ready to go on" at all

More severe punishment for drunk

statement that this wave of increased
drinking has got to be checked"

ness in the District has been con-

months, Judge Mattingly said. In &C.
cordance with his announced plan to
check the spread of intoxication, he
made the minimum fine $25 or an al-
tentative 80 days in Jail for the Of
fense.
According to testimony, most Of
the drunkenness begins in the city's
parks. Especial mention was made
by Judge Mattingly of the conditions
in Judiciary Square, where the Dis
trict Supreme Court and the District
Court of Appeals Buildings stand.
Conditions have become so bad in
Judiciary Square that the judges,
themselves, are no longer safe in

with intoxication have been brought

NEW TYPE TRAFFIC
LIGHTS TO FLASH
Dual Control at Two Corners
to Start This Morning at
II O'Clock.

The new type dual-control traffic
lights at Fifteenth and G streets and
Fifteenth street and New York avenue
will be placed in operation at II
o'clock this morning. Traffic Director
Van Duzer will throw the switch.
With the operation of the lights.
eastbound traffic will be permitted to
cross the intersection of Fifteenth
street and New York avenue for
the first time in years.
The new lights are so arranged
that street cars will move only on
alternate signals. Van Duzer said
the arrangement of the lights is the
most complicated in the Districts
network of automatic traffic signals.
He believes traffic conditions will
be improved by permitting eastbound
traffic to flow across New York ave-
nue.. At the same time, he feels that
the lights will provide better pro-
lection for pedestrians at both these
busy intersections.
Sunday was selected as the day to
turn on the lights because of the
light traffic flow, which will give mo-
tormen on the street cars an oppor-
tunity to become accustomed to the
operation of the lights before the Mon
day morning rush hour.

GAS RATE HEARING
OPENS TOMORROW
Cut in Consumers Charges
May Not Exceed $4,000,
Study Indicates.

Public hearings on rates OF the
Washington and Georgetown Gas
Light Cos. will be opened tomorrow
morning by the Public Utilities Com
mission with latest calculations in
dicating the possible cut in consum-
ers' charges for the next year may
not exceed $4,000.
The hearing has been called for a
review of the financial situation of
the concerns under the sliding scale
plan of annual adjustment of rates,
which was adopted last December 13.
The new rates which may be ordered
will be effective September /.
Commission staff workers previous
ly had anticipated the reduction
would be small, primarily because
there was a cut of S305,000 last De-
cember when the plan was adopted.
That cut was in addition to discount
of 85 per cent, which had been in
effect for several years during a pro-
tracted valuation case, and which was
made permanent.
How the expected rate cut may be
apportioned among consumers will be
the subject of debate If the cut is
no more than $4,000 the effect on
individual consumer monthly charges
will be small.
One of the major questions in rate
calculations will be how expenses and
revenues of the companies are to be
allocated as between services rendered
to nearby Maryland and Virginia
areas, and operations within the Dis
trict.
Decision on these ALLEGATIONS may
vitality affect present estimates of the
possible rate cut under the sliding
scale plan.
The agreement for the annual ad-
Justments definitely contemplated the
ALLEGATIONS. The theory was that ex-
penses, property accounts and reve-
nues from the suburban services
should be segregated and not mixec
with the District accounts so that
rates and profits between different
jurisdictions would not be confused
Calculations made by accountants
OF the commission yesterday indicated
that the profits of the companies
would be about $4,000 over a return
OF 6.5 per cent on valuation base OF
some s2l 100000. Under the terms
OF the sliding-scale plan a sum equal
to half the excess profits between 6.5
and rs per cent would be available
for rate reductions.

REVIEWS
MILK PRICE STUDY
Health Officer Among Those
to Attend Conference of
Producers.

Study of the District milk regula-
tions to determine if they need re-
vision or tend in any way to MAIN
tain a high price level, is to be re-
sumed tomorrow by Health Officer
George c. Rutland at a conference
with milk producers of this region.
Spokesman for the Washington
Consumers Council, who have an
nounced plans to fight any threat
ened increase in milk prices by pro-
posals to permit importations from
more distant areas, also are sched-
uled to attend.
The survey was started at the sug-
gestion of the Commissioners, who
asked DR.. Rutland to submit recon-
mendations if he finds present rules
are unreasonable or serve to hold up
price levels.
DR.. Rutland has indicated he has
no intention of lowering the present
high standards of milk. He suggests
he may discover further improve
ments.
The health officer has let 1t be
known he prefers to see production
limited to the region in which his
own inspectors may operate, but is
considering a suggestion that an ad-
ditional supply may be found in the
Eastern shore Of Maryland, region
said to be within reach of the Dis
trict inspection staff.

cause he feared some accident to the
ground crew The airship could have
been handled without danger to it,
he said, but there was a possibility he
would have to dump a lot Of ballast
and the wind would carry the ship

crew hanging to line.
While approaching Washington,

VACANCIES LOOM
IND. c. COMMITTEE
Senate Campaign Develop
ments May Eliminate
Reyes and Coolidge.
BY ]. o. OLEARY.

Senatorial campaign developments
thus far indicate two vacancies in the
membership of the District Subcom-
mittee of the Senate Appropriations
Committee, to be filled when Congress
returns.
AS the situation now stands, Senator
Coolidge of Massachusetts,. a Demo-
cratic member of the subcommittee,
has not entered the race in the Bay
State. The second prospective open
ing in this branch of the law-making
machinery for the District grows out
of the recent decision of Senator Keyes.
Republican, Of New Hampshire not to
seek denomination.
Urged Projects Completion.
Senator Keyes has taken a deep in
terest in the Identification and i'm
provement of the National Capital by
advocating the completion of long
planned Federal projects. This was in
addition to his service on the District
Appropriations Subcommittee In his
latter capacity he has taken part for
a number of years in the Senate's an
nual contest with the House over the
amount of the Federal obligation to-
ward the upkeep of the city. He con-
sistently fought against drastic cuts
proposed by the House in the amount
of the Federal share.
Before the Republicans lost contro
of the Senate. Keyes was chairman oi
the Public Buildings and Grounds
Committee and obtained final passage
Of the law authorizing enlargement Of
the Capitol Grounds and the beauti.
fication of the plaza park which now
extends from the Capitol to Union
Station. He obtained Senate action
on the measure on March 4, 1929. 9
few hours before that Congress ended
The plaza project already had beer
delayed for many years, principally
by conditions growing out of the Worlc
War, and if the bill had not passed
in the closing hot of the 1929 ses.
sion there would have been further
delay of year or two.
Coolidge Student of Needs.
During his nearly 18 years in the
Senate, Keyes also has taken part ir
the consideration of other plans fol
the improvement of the Capital.
Senator Coolidge has had much
shorter period of service on the Dis
trict Appropriation Subcommittee, but
has followed closely the annual con-
sideration of the city's needs.
Appropriation subcommittee art
made up from the membership of tht
entire Appropriations Committee, anc
vacancies in that group will not b
filled until the next session.

Hunters in the Everglades some
times encounter diamond-backs big
enough to strike above a mans booe
tops from level ground. The snakes
have been known to exceed 8 feet in
length, and to carry 81 rattles and
a button. The rattles do not tally
the serpent's years, as a new one
forms each time he sheds his skin.
This big diamond-back amused
spectators when he first was brought
to the Reptile House by striking at
them and hammering his nose against
the plate glass. He soon learned
better, however, and now no amount
of teasing can arouse his anger.
One of the strangest alliances of
the animal kingdom is that of the
rattler, the prairie dog and the owl on
the Western plains. The prairie dog
is an involuntary host to the two in
truders who move into his under
ground home. The owl gets shelter
and the rattler demands both shelter
and food-young prairie dogs for
choice.
In some rattlesnake families, OBJ
servers say, the mother opens her
mouth when danger approaches and
her young crawl inside.
