there are no radio sending sets on

its way to the villages 10 days ago.
It was The Washington Times
which obtained through its cores

PEPC0 OFFERS
NEW RATES
SCHEDULE
Proposal Would Save
Domestic Consumer
Cents Month

Rate schedules for 1885 by
which the average bill Of the
domestic consumer viii be re-
duced approximately cents a
month were proposed today to
the Public Utilities Commission
by the Potomac Electric Power
Company.
Following a formula dictated
by the commission, which en-
tailed a slash in the company's
minimum rate Of return allowed
under the sliding scale arrange.
ment from to 612 per cent and
a cut Of $1,932,649 from the rate
base due to a readjustment OF
retired property value, A. G. Neal,
a vice president of the company,
informed the commission the
company calculated a total Of
$31O,360.84 was available for all
rate reductions.
Brooks ON Stand
Harold A. Brooks, vice presi.
dent and commercial manager Of
the company, next took the, stand
and offered the company's pro-
posals of rates for 1896.
He said local consumers Of the
ompany will save $303, ,784
through the rates and suburban
customers, $6,971.
He estimated that under the
new schedule proposed for do.
meStic consumers, who total 1885,.
248, a total reduction Of $685.
would be made. However, only
one rate was changed. The sched.
ule remains the same, 3.9 cents,
for the first so kilowatt hours.
1t changes in the second step
from 81 cent to 80 cents for the
next so hours, and remains the
same, 1.9 cents for the next 100
hours, and is cents for the ex.
cess above 200 hours.
Peoples Counsel william A.
Roberts obtained an admission
from Mr.. Brooks that the first
step in the domestic schedule of
3.9 cents for the first so hours
has remained unchanged since
1892. Mr.. Brooks told the COM
mission the company proposed to
reduce the electrical light bill
paid by. the District and Federal
Governments for street lighting
and traffic lHhts 10 per; cent.
or $83,684.
Helps Small Business
Small business men who pa.
tronize the company through a
commercial schedule known as
Schedule D. were offered q sav-
ing Of $140,854 in the proposed
rates Of the company, Mr.. Brooks
declared.
He pointed out in response to
questions by Mr.. Roberts that the
company feels the small business
men are entitled to a greater reduc.
ton than domestic consumers be-
cause, since 1925, domestic rates
have been reduced $2,700, 900, while
the small consumer rates have
been cut $1,761 900.
Mr.. Brooks also declared that
out of the 136,248 domestic con.
sumers, statistics of last yea
showed 1925 used a sufficient
amount Of power to bring then
into the schedule brackets where
the 1886 rate reduction is proposed.
At the outset of the hearing,
Chairman Riley E. Elgen, Of the
commission, announced B. NICK.
Bachman, commission chief &C.
countant, had made a statistical
analysis such as offered by Mr..
Neal and that the difference in the
figures for the total reduction was
only $61 higher than that calcu-
lated by the company.

Use of Buildings

I'VE believe that the school build
ings should continue to be open for
use by the community as social recre-
ational and educational centers, when
such use will not interfere with school
course.
I'VE maintain that a persons re-
ligious beliefs or practices, or national
ity should be no test for position or
promotion that the qualifications for
position or promotion should be
based on education, previous expert
ence and ability necessary to perform
the duties demanded of that position,

been or may be made to inject re-
ligious or national prejudices into

we pledge our adherence to an ad-

that will recognize the JOY of youth III

that school life will be as happy as

Dennis Reaches New
Fame Heights

Hubert kid" Dennis, the pride Of
Montana, ascended to new heights of
fame with his victory over Young
Peter Jackson, at the Fox Theatre last
Monday evening. Performing before
one of the greatest crowds ever packed
into the Fox Theatre, Dennis, true to
form, took, according to press reports,
seven rounds out of ten. At the sound
of the gong and without the least hes
itation, Dennis charged, shooting out
his left hand and keeping Jackson on
the defensive. Jackson attempted in
vain to put over an effective right
cross to Dennis. 1t was not until the
third round that he was successful In
this stanza he had Dennis pretty
'groggy and it looked as though the bat
tic was over, but with the help OF the
rest period between rounds and HUI
bert's remarkable recuperative powers,
he came out just as fresh as ever at
the beginning of the fourth and then
kept Jackson constantly on the defen-
sive
The rest OF the card was temperate
except the event between Jimmie Best,
a colored boy from Billings and Dave
Cook OF Helena. Best is one Of the
hardest hitting and fastest men seen
in Butte ring in many a day. He
knocked Cook down for the count Of
nine.
Although the Helena man finished the
round he was pretty groggy. In the
beginning OF the second round Of this
fight it looked like Best would be a
sure winner when he accidentally
landed a low blow which sent Cook to
the floor. Referee Sminich awarded
the decision to Cook.
In the first preliminary event Sch
mauch of Bozeman put Antonetti away
in the first round. In the second pre-
liminary Smokey Manion Of Bozeman
drew a draw with Kid McCauley. In
the six-round event between Jimmie
Kerwin and Spider McCaullun, it ap-
peared that Kerwin had shade the
best Of it, but the referee called it a
draw.
All in all, the fans were SO we'll salts
fled that reservations for the fight on
April 18th are already being made.

Meyers Smart And
Game In Wrestling

Eddie Meyers and Demchuk the Ca
madam middleweight champion, put on
a splendid exhibition at the Miners
Union wrestling fete Tuesday, March
"a. 1t was by far the outstanding
event Of the whole performance.
Meyers, while not as fancy as some
of the other wrestlers, must be given
credit for using his head at all times
His success seems TO be due as much
to his brains as il does to his muscles
because time after time he will trick
his opponent into wrong maneuve1
and then utilize his discomforture to
throw him. In the event Of last Tues
day, Meyers won the first fall with a
surf board Demchuk took the second
and Meyers, with his usual effective
rough tactics secured the last and
winning fall. The skull and cross
bones on the back of the robe OF
Demchuk didn't seem to avail much.
The preliminary event between Ku-
SEX and Jimmie Smith of Iowa, was
rather tame, however, the spectators
seemed to be satisfied.
In the final event the Masked Mar
vel and Skaarda, ganged up on Pat
Meehan, the big policeman, and put
him out of the running. The wrestle
royal, seemed to take with the fans be-
cause there was much applause
mingled with laughter over the kick
ing tactics of Marvel and Meehan
Some amusement was caused in this
frey by the mask, worn by the stranger
slipping to one side, which proved al
most as embarrassing for the specta-

CODDLE GIRL AND
HIT PHONE POLE

Mr.. Motorist, do you recall that last
year the King OF Belgium, while driv-
ing in Switzerland, turend to glance at
a map his wife was holding1 In that
instant of carelessness the car swerved
off the road and killed the Queen.
Death is no respecter Of persons. The
King as we'll as the peasant must pay
for his mistakes.
A car travelling s5lty-miles an hour
covers Lightweight feet a second, at
forty miles, fifty-eight feet Yet there
are drivers who will risk their lives and
those accompying them by taking both
hands off the wheel to light up a smoke
or to cuddle some cutie while tipping
along between forty and sixty. Just
one tiny second and they may be so
far off the road that they will have to
be carried back on a stretcher.
If you jumped off a ten story build
ing onto a concrete pavement you
wouldn't expect your friends to find
much more than a splash. When you
hit you would be travelling at just
about sixty miles an hour. That will
give you a picture OF what happens
when a car hits a stationary object at
that speed, say a telephone pole or the
concrete rail Of bridge. When TWO
cars hit head-on just double the result.
Your wife may look we'll in black but
don't you think, Mr. Motorist, that for
your own good and the peace Of mind
OF others you better keep your eye on
the road and both hands on the wheel?
Drive Death off the Highways.
