HOLLYWOOD, July 3O.-"This
isn't my racket"
That is the answer you get from
Hank LuiSetti, former Stanford
basket ball ace turned actor, If you
ask him whether he'd like to make
the movies his life work.
Luisetti is getting $4,000 for
being himself in film, a college
piece with flock of basketball Sc
quenceS.
Il took this for the quick
money" says Luisetti, a TALL shy,
boyish fellow who isn't handsome
in the Hollywood way. IF they
offer me another picture for the
same dough, III take it. But this
really isn't my racket. I've got a
job waiting for me in San Fran
cisco"
Hank, who set an intercollegiate
scoring record during his three
years with the Stanford five. knows
that If he did stay in the movies
he'd never feel entirely at ease.

Learning the elements Of chess in
Poland when she scarcely was 20 years
old, Anna Bran played the game only
casually. She revived her interest
after coming to the Nations Capital,
and in 1887 participated in the first
title tournament staged in the Dis
trict solely for feminine chessists.
Vaguely familiar with the customs
OF her adopted country, she eagerly
applied herself to the process of
Americanization. At Webster School
she studied diligently and by July,
1888, received her final papers as
naturalized citizen of the United
States.

Obedience Test Draw.
Septl Jtr II is the date CT the West
chester Kennel Club show at Rvc, N.
y. In addition to being one of the
blue-rlbbon shows of the Northern cir
cults. it is of special interest to many
OF our local fancerS because it is the
scene of the annual Obedience Test
Club specially trials.
Because of the great and in
creaSing interest which theSe
trials evoke. it has been found
necessary to assign two judges
to this feature this year.
The novice classes will be handled
by Miriam Hall of Bedford, N. Y, and
Josef Weber of Princeton. N j., will
judge the open and utility classes.
It's getting to be habit with the
American Kennel Club. They've got
another book rolling off the presses.
This one is called the Complete Dog
Bog. and in addition TO the official
standards OF all breeds recognized by
the A. X. c. has a section by Reginal
la nfr,
ON the care, feeding, breeding, house,
breaking and 50 forth Of dogs.
The standards OF seven breeds have
been revised since the last book of

volume contains the latest revisions.

Most of us have few flowers to
brighten our gardens at this time
Of the year. Florists have been
working to provide shrubs that give
bright berries and each year we find
new plants on the market. This
is indeed gratifying thing for gar
den lovers and we can look forward
to the day. when our winter gar
dens will be as bright in their own
type of foliage and fruit as in the
summer when flowers are in bloom
OF course, in the Southern States
there are glorious blossoms during
the winter, delighting all those who
come down from the North.
November is from a Latin word
meaning nine, though it is the 18th
month of the year. Many have
called it the melancholy month, but
they must have overlooked Indian
summer and the wonderful flower of
the month, the chrysanthemum.
And how many who wear the glori-
fled flower of today or decorate their
homes with the huge, colorful bios
SONS would have connected this
flower as the direct descendant of
the wild daisy and a relative of the
thistle. 1t shows what going to
college will do even for an humble
weed.
Now is the time to get out your
bird calendar and see at what time
and on what day your winter guests
will arrive and when the tranSients
will stop over en- route to Southern
ports
The handsome little gallant chick
adees are arriving, announcing
themselves in a most genteel man
ner. The modest little juncos, the
industrious nuthatches and many
others are coming in overnight.
1t is also time to look over the
feeding trays and think about the
seeds you will need for your winter
friends.
Nuts are ready for picking if the
squirrels have not been busy. The
hickory nuts are easily hulled and
the walnuts city folks are used to
seeing have been hulled early in the
month and sent to market. Acorns
have been stored by the thrifty
squirrels and chipmunks.

PromotionaI Electric
Rates Tried in Area

In a report on electric rates made
public today the Federal Power
Commission points out that in
Washington, Maryland and many
other communities an innovation in
1898 was series of rromotional
rates under which larger quantities
of electricity used in households
could be bought at relatively cheaper
prices.
This graduated scale of rates is
known as "incremental charges" the
report explained. are intended to
make 1t easier for families using
larger quantities of electricity than
formerly, especially with the install
lation of refrigerators, radios and
other devices besides lighting.
During the calendar year 1887,
the report said, rate changes re-
sulting in reduction in one or more
typical residential bills were made
in IS, or 49.l per cent, of the 17a
Maryland communities of $50 pop
ulation or more. These changes
were made by eight of the 10 utili-
ties serving the 173 communities.
In the Pacific Northwest, where
water power is plentiful and elec-
tricity generally cheaper than in
any other section of the country
the initial household rates compare
favorably with those in Washing
ton, though the larger amounts cost
considerably less.

navigation and transport. At meet
ing of the President and the Com
missioners of the Federal City, held
on October Is, l79l, Andrew Ellicott,
geographer general, proposed that in
disposing Of lots in the Federal City
those lots should be reserved which
would be considerably increased in
value when the public Improvements
were made, and that the first sales
should be confined to those which had
an immediate value from other con-
siderations As a reason for this he
pointed out:

improvements will considerably af-

that the new Capital would never de-
velop into a real city Washington,
on the other hand, intended and con-
fidently predicted that it would be-
come "the greatest commercial en-
porium of the country"
1t was with that view that Len
fant's plans, made under the Presi-
dents auspices. provided for a city
on a larger scale than any then ex-
isting in the country. And since the
cost Of erecting the public buildings
was to be betrayed out Of the pro-
ceeds Of the sale of the public lots,
the plan Of this city of magnificent
distances was circulated by the Fed
eral Commissioners not only through
out the United States. but in the
