WATER RATE
CUT FOR MD.

A saving Of about $4,000 a
year will be gained by water con-
sumers in the Maryland area as
a result of a rate reduction ef-
fective Immediately, it was an
nounced today by T. Howard
Duckett, chairman of the Wash
ington Suburban Sanitary Com
mission.
Rates on family size five-eighth-
inch meters have been slashed
from four to three dollars a year
and those on larger meters pro-
portionately. Users of the largest
meters, eight-inch affairs, will OBJ
tain a reduction of 500 a year.
The lower charges have been
made possible by the increase in
water consumption during the
past two years, and greater eff
ficiency at the new Morse Filter
Plant at Brunt Mills, according
to Mr.. Duckett. The commission
forsees further reductions in the
future growth of consumption
with the population increase in
the area, the commission chairman
said.
There are nearly $1,000 family
size meters and about $50 larger
meters in the area, and applica-
tions for house connections are
being made at the rate Of about
80 per week. Since the first of
this year the commission has
made 2,346 house connections here,
of which 1927 are water and
l,109 are sewer.

striving to purge the registration
lists of paid floaters and others
not legally qualified to vote. Coe
said:
We've got 500 of them so
far, it is the first time in his

.,O00,0O0 EAT
ON TRAINS

International News Service
To appease the appetites of the
travelling public, approximately
Is million meals a year are pre-
pared and served on trains, &C
cording to tabulations made by
the Association of American Rail
roads.
These meals are served in small
diners while the trains are speed
ing over the rails, sometimes at
speed better than a mile min
ute. The dining cars carry equip
ment consisting of 800 pieces of
china, $50 tablecloths and nap
kins, about 24O pieces Of glass
ware, $50 pieces of silver and 200
pantry and kitchenware items and
other utensils used by the chef
and his assistants.
And approximately 1000 dishes
of all kinds must be washed dur
ing one meal period by one man
at sink less than two feet square.
According to the tabulations,
Mr.. and Mrs. Traveller list meat
first on their program, and $780,
900 worth is consumed annually,
compared with approximately
$155,000 for meats used in the
largest hotel in the world.
For beverages, the roads use an
nually approximately 100000
pounds of coffee, about 100000
pounds of tea. and about 100000
quarts of milk and cream.
But imagine how many chick
ems are required to lay the 2,000,-
900 dozen eggs that are required
by the roads every year!
The bread and butter bill prob
ably looks like a national debt,
with an average of 1,125,00O
loaves of bread and 100000
rolls being served each year, upon
which 100000 pounds of butter
are spread.
The steward must see that an
ample store of all things are on
his car before the train departs.
From experience, however, the
steward knows that of every hun
dred passengers, about IS will
want coffee and Is tea. About
IS will ask for roast beef while
the remainder will order chicken,
fish, chops and steaks. But he
can gamble with assurance on one
thing, however, that apple pie is
still the greatest American des-
Sert, exceeding all others.
