abdicated overnight the ages-old
belief that parents In their age
should be the care of children.
Family responsibility is thrown out
of the window. For the Fifth Com
mandment we have substituted So
cial legislation. Grand fathers and
grandmothers are to be ousted from
the family circle. Such are the
tragic lengths to which our modern
individualism has gone.
Gearing Life's Machinery Wrong.
Lifes machinery is being geared
to other centers than the home.
City hospitality is expressed in res
taurants instead OF around family
dinner tables. Entertainment is
found elsewhere than in the home
In many modern" families there is
seldom common meeting about the
evening lamp, for reading, games
ands talk. Indeed, the lamp itself
has been superseded by electricity.
For our Canadian camp we have
tried unsuccessfully in the neighbor-
ing towns to buy a Rochester lamp.
Our guests all express delight at the
restful, happy times we have to-
gether before our big log fire, with
no opportunity to 60 to movies or
parties or other public entertain
ments.
Parents bequeath a priceless her.
itage to their children in definitely
establishing family usages which
become traditions. When our two
sons were growing it was our GUS
tom to read to them on Sunday
evenings, usually from Kipling or
Ian Maclaren, while they lay
sprawled upon the leopard skin rug
in front of the fireplace. To this
day, when the sons are home for a
Sunday, those 6-foot men lie on the
floor as of old, and daddy reads to
them. AS contemplate the un-
usual consideration which our chill
dren show to their parents, I am
certain that it is partly due to the
usages established in their child
hood.
The Dearest Name Of All.
One can scarcely overestimate the
sensitiveness of children to impress
sions. 1t is natural for them to cast
father into the role of hero and
wise man. How often have heard
men say, MY father was the finest
man that ever lived" I was deeply
touched one time, when our more
unvocal son, an undergraduate at
Princeton, was showing me through
the university library, and he pulled
out a drawer cataloguing some of
my books and magazine articles.
He had looked them up earlier.
Sons who are proud of their fathers
are usually sons of whom the fathers
are proud.
As we roam over this alluring
theme OF the divine law to honor
fathers and mothers, we pause to
consider the stupendous truth that
God Himself elects to be known by
the dear name of Father. Jesus
gave the world sublime new con-
ception OF the Deity by teaching us
to address Him as Our Father"
All that earthly parenthood can
mean. with an infinite plus. is true
OF God. Who portrays Himself in
the image Of loving, cherishing
providing, teaching Father.

is strong and wholesome, there the
family means most. China has lived
longer than all other nations be-
cause its family foundations are
strong. There respect for parents
is almost a religion. To fail in filial
piety is both sin and crime. Miss
Tarbell quotes Bishop Foster as re-
lating the punishment he witnessed
in Foochow of young man who
had killed his father with hoe,
while working in field:
"The officers chained him to a
post in the execution place, and
hacked him to pieces. Then they
executed the mother for having such
a son. and the neighbors living next
on either side, for having such a
neighborhood. Next the officer, like
a policeman, whose duty it was to
keep order in that beat, was BAN
ished. The taotai, or governor. OF
the district was removed from office.
Then they burned the house in
which the man lived, and dug up the
ground to the depth Of 2 feet on
which the building stood. and carted
the dirt off and dumped 1t into the
river. They intended to wipe out
that wickedness so it could not
spread"
As 1t Is in the South.
I was once talking with South
ern man about the Souths intense
interest in kin folk, even to far
ramifying degree We cited the case
of a certain wastrel who was cared
for to the end by the society from
which he has been prodigal.
There is something fine about 1t"
said my friend. "A man may re-
turn in rags and sickness, but his
own folk never shut the door upon
him. He belongs to them," Who
can doubt that it is this strong
family feeling which has been the
foundation of the South's strength
in surviving and overcoming its
difficulties since the Civil War?
And the basis of all family feeling
is loyalty to and respect for parents.
While in the veal period. many
persons exult in finding outside of
their home circle friends who under
stand them and are more congenial
than relatives. AS the years pass,
however, and a real understanding
Of life develops. they learn that
there are no friends who can be
counted upon like kindred. The
old home opens its doors when all
other doors are shut.
There is hullabaloo in many parts

Burglar Raids
IcebOx Before
Robbing Home

A hungry burglar took time to At
in the kitchen and eat nearly half .
ham before ransacking the home Of
Alphonso Hallback and A. o. Eggleton
at 500 Euclid street NV. early today.
Mr.. Hallback said the barking of
their dog awakened him and his sis
ter, Mrs Eggleton, as the burglar stood
over a bureau in her bedroom about
1 am.
The thief fed downstairs with two
$40 bills from Mrs. Eggleton's bureau
and Mr.. Hallback's trousers, gold
watch and billfold containing $13. In
his flight through the downstairs hall
he dropped the two $40 bills and
picked up Mr.. Eggleton's gloves.
After the burglar escaped, Mr.. Hall
back found that he had taken half q
ham from the refrigerator and eaten
practically all of it at the kitchen
table. He apparently had eaten the
ham straight" not bothering with
bread or butter. He had entered
through q kitchen window.

THREE NEW RATE
SCHEDULESASKED
Pepco Ordered to Submit
Plans for Distribution
of $780, ,O3O Cut.

The Public Utilities Commission to-
day ordered the Potomac Electric Pow
er Co. to submit three new schedules
proposing distribution of this years
$770,030 rate cut among various classes
Of consumers.
The commission indicated it prob
ably would reject the original proposal
Of the company before it ordered new
schedules into effect, beginning next
Tuesday. There was no indication of
how substantial change might be d.
rected.
The original company proposal allo-
Gated 80 per cent Of the total rate saw
ings to domestic consumers, or about
$3.50, 900, and the remainder among
various classes of commercial users in
cluding both the Federal and District
governments, or about $539,OOO.
Whereas the company proposed to
make no change in the present sched-
ule A for the first bracket of so kilo-
watt hours, for which the charge now
Is 50 cents per kilowatt hour, the
commission directed the preparation
Of alternative schedules showing the
effect If the flrst-step bracket was re-
duced to IS kilowatt hours, or to 40
kilowatt hours, leaving the rate at 80
cents.
Adoption Of either Of these reduced
blocks would mean . lowering of the
price for electric current to Small"
domestic consumers. It is expected
that such substitute schedule would
mean . revision Of the schedules for
certain other classes Of consumers.
The commission also directed the
company to submit q new version of
the rates for class D schedule users,
80 as to obtain q clear picture of
what would happen under the orig
inal scheme offered by the company.
The company had advised the COM
mission that 1t believed that under
its original plan most of the present
class D schedule users would switch
over to the proposed revised sched-
ule e.

HEALTHUN|T ASKS
COURT PROTECTION
Action Seeks to Establish
Legality of H. O. |. C.
Clinic Enterprise.

The District Court had before it to-
day long-awaited petition by Group
Health Association, Inc, for a legal
determination whether 1t may furnish
medical care to Government en-
ployes-a right hotly denied by the
American Medical Association and the
District Medical Society.
Directed against Acting United
States Attorney David A. Pine and j.
Bach Moor, District superintendent OF
insurance, the suit asked for a declara-
tory judgment that 1t "is in no sense
Illegally or otherwise engaged in the
practice Of medicine or engaged in an
insurance business"
The court also was requested to
declare that G. H. A. may legally
operate under the local insurance
statutes and the Healing Arts Practice
Act and that neither of the defendants
has authority to prohibit or interfere
with its operation.
Seeks End Of Controversy.
The suit was in the nature Of a
friendly court action and was agreed
on as the best way to settle the heated
controversy between G. H. A. and the
medical society. in which District OFF,
cials sided with the latter group.
Legality Of the advance by the Home
Owners Loan Corp. Of $4,000 to the
association to further its program was
not laid before the court. The advance
has been held by Acting Controller
General Richard N. Elliott to be with
out authority of law"
About 1000 employees of the Federal
Home Loan Bank Board, the H. o. L..
c. and afiliated agencies are members
Of the association and pay 1920 a
month for medical attention, hospital
ization and clinical service. Depend
ents Of employees are included in the
service for q total monthly payment
Of $3.50.
According to the shit, the associa-
ton has expended about $25,O0O in
setting up q modern clinic at 1928 /
street NV. and since last November
l has been furnishing full service to
its members, through salaried physi-
clans.
Warned BY Pine.
On January is, the suit recited, Mr..
Pine gave notice that unless G. H. A.
suspended operation and took steps
looking to liquidation, an injunction
suit or other court proceedings aimed
at its dissolution would be brought
on the ground the association is
illegally engaged in the practice Of
medicine and IS in the insurance busi-
ness.
At the same time, Mr.. Moor in
formed the association it must re-
incorporate as an insurance corpora
ton and comply with all the require
ments Of the local insurance statutes,
or he, also, would seek its dissolution,
1t was stated.
The association said it Sin no man
ner commentaries the practice Of
medicine in contravention of law or
public policy" and denied that it Is
in the insurance business in that it
makes no indemnity payments and
ENSURES against no hazard or peril"
The suit was signed by w. c. Kirk
patrick as president of q. H. A., and
was filed through Horace Russell, gen.
eral counsel of H. o. L. c., and his
associates, Luke E. Keeley, A. Blaine
York and E. K. Newman.
No tnjunctive relief was asked Of
the court.
