REDUCED ELECTRIC RATES IN
BALTIMORE AND VICINITY

Reductions in rates for electricity
in Baltimore and vicinity, resulting
in savings to consumers of $4,000
per annum, are provided for in new
schedules, required by the Public
Service Commission to be filed by the
Consolidated Gas Electric Light and
Power Company of Baltimore.
The reductions in rates will apply
principally to domestic consumers
although adjustments in rates to
small commercial, institutional and
other customers are made in order to
maintain a proper relationship be-
tween schedules.
The primary rate in the Baltimore
City rate district is reduced from S
cents net to AZ cents net per kilo-
watt hour.
In the suburban rate district the
reduction is from " cents net to 5
cents, and in the outside rate district,
comprising all territory beyond the
suburban rate district, the reduction
is from 81 cents net to 6 cents net,
per kilowatt hour.
Reductions also have been made in
the secondary and tertiary rates, and,
in the case of domestic customers,
the tertiary rate, which has been re-
duced from pa cents to cents, will
apply to all consumption in excess of
200 kilowatt hours per month. At
present the third step applies only to
consumption of more than 225 kilo-
watt hours per month.
Negotiations between the Public
Service Commission and officials of
the Company which resulted in these
reductions have extended over some
months. A study of the affairs of
the Company convinced the Commits
sion that a rate reduction was in
order, and a series of conferences
were held in order to bring this
about. The question of taxes was
important in this connection because,
until it could be determined approx
mately what the Company would be
called to pay out in national state
and city taxes, the amount which
would be available for reduction in
rates could not be agreed upon. 1t
was obvious that the more the Com
pany would have to pay in taxes. the
Less there would be for rate reduc-
ton. With the adjournment of the
special session Of the General As

DUST BLOWN 1000 MILES
CAUSES BROWN" SNOWFALL

Winter duststorms often cause
brown" snowfall in regions far dis
tant BY analyzing the dust, soil
chemists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture smetimes are
able to determine the region in
which it originated.
They found that dust in the
brown" snow. which fell in Febru-
airy on New Hampshire and Vermont,
probably got its start in Oklahoma,
Texas, or Kansas-States about l.
600 miles away. Dust that discol-
ored the New England snow showed
the proportion of lime that dis
tinguishes southwestern soils.
Weather Bureau observers esti-
mate this storm deposited 81 pounds
of dust an acre-or 10 tons per
square mile-in the area where the
snow fell. Every 10 tons of dust
included 1880 pounds of lime, the
chemists estimate.

TENT CATERPILLARS

Tent caterpillars are again occur.
ring in large numbers in this locality,
as they did last year. These tree
defoliators, says the Bureau of En-
tomology and Plant Quarantine
United States Department of Agri-
culture, may be abundant for several
years in an area where conditions are
favorable. However, some natural
cause-parasites, disease. or unfav-
orable weather-always has sooner
or later reduced them to negligible
numbers. Then for several years
there will be few of them.
Tent caterpillars feed on the
foliage of many trees-especially
wild cherry and apple-early in the
spring. The denuded trees are un-
slightly, but they usually recover and
put out a new set of leaves after the
caterpillars have done their worst.
Large expenditures for a general
campaign to control tent caterpillars,
therefore, seem unwise.
In orchards the usual spray pro-
gram should give control, and spe-
cial shade or ornamental trees can
be effectively protected by spraying
with lead arsenate-2 pounds to so
gallons of water-as soon as the
small webs appear.

County between the ages OF six
months and seven years immunized

tration Of one incubation Of Toxoid.
Knowing that Diphtheria can be
prevented by the administration OF

offered for any Diphtheria cases and
deaths and the responsibility for the
prevention of Diphtheria rests with
the parents as the Health Depart

dren il the parent will bring them to
the clinic or have their family ply

post card of this fact giving the name
of the child immunized and the date
of the immunization, so we may
clear our records.

BETHESDA'S TRAIN
COMES IN ON TIME

The 200 mile train scheduled to
reach Minneapolis last Friday night
came in on the minute. It was
under the direction of Mrs. w. E..
Warrington of Bethesda and her
crew of twelve porters, spick and
span in their shining uniforms and
caps. After a gorgeous feast pre-
pared by the Kings Daughters of
the church, in which many civilians
Joined, the company repaired to the
auditorium of Bethesda there to
engage in a felicitous hour of mu-
sic. Entertainment was furnished
by the Misses Ophilia CAVITY, Rylla
Clayburn, Dorothy Williams, Tina
Leah Marshall, Vera Glanton, Scot
tie Faison and the inimitable Mrs.
Estella Sims. Mrs. Wadlington, SUI
perintendent of the train, called for
reports from her crew and found
that tips from the trip had pro-
duced $150.68 which was added to
the church treasury. Donations
were made by passengers coming
from all over the country and as
far away as Canada to the SUPER
intendent, enabling her to report
the largest of the sums obtained.
Next highest amount was brought
by Miss Matte Lucas, but each of
the porters brought in something
and each and all were praised and
thanked by the Rev. w. E. Wad-
lington and the trustees of Beth
esda, who would like nothing bet
ter than another excursion.

Paul the apostles missionary la
bors in the development of Chris

tablished a church, the lights of

ture of the meeting-was directed

Bethesda Baptist At Bethesda
last Sunday a congregation much
larger than usual gathered at the
morning hour to hear the Rev. w.
E. Wadlington, pastor, give his
Thanksgiving message. Choosing
"Thanhulness" for his theme, the
minister reminded his hearers of
the truth that always in the life
of man had there been much for
which he had reason to be grateful.
But beside all else there was moth
ing for which he had more reason
for thanlfulness than the life of
Jesus Christ, who made possible
through his death eternal life for
everyone.
The Gospel chorus served the
music of the hour. At the earlier
hour of the Sunday school the at
tendance came up to par and the
enjoyment of members went above
that. In the evening most of our
young people went to the joint
meeting of the B. Y. P. U. society

ZION PRESENTS A PAGE
FROM NEGRO HISTORY

lions Baptist Church's mission
airy society has completed its pro-
gram for the coming Sunday. It's
president, Mrs. Anna B. Lewis,
presents the following program
prepared by its chairman, Mrs. D..
L. Rodgers: At the morning hour
the Rev. w. H. Bolts will take for
the subject of his discourse "The
Negro in Bible Times" Miss Kath-
ryn Allen will read a paper on the
NEGRO and the Church" At the
eight o'clock night service DR.. w.
D. Brown will talk on the "Negro
in Medicine; John Thomas will
discuss "Negro YOUTH; ten young
girls from the Sunday School will
dramatic the Lords Prayer; Mrs.
Edna Randall, director of lions
choir, will speak on "Negro Music. I"
In as much as the Negro is the
subject of this quarters study by
the churches of this area it is con-
sidered pertinent by Zion that this
service be given to a history Of
the Negro by himself. The public
is most cordially invited to attend.
