A 1914 percent reduction is shown
in deaths from typhoid fever in
Mississippi for the past twenty year
period. In 1922 the death toll was
337; in 1912 only % people died
from this cause.
Translated into human lives this
means that, had the 1922 figures
prevailed, 315 more Mississippi peo-
pie would have lost their lives
from typhoid fever last year.
The saving of human lives is a
measure of the effectiveness of pub
lie health. Tangible results of
public health in Mississippi are evil
denced by decreasing death totals
in certain preventable diseases,
such as typhoid fever, malaria. tu-
berculosis, and dysentery.

u. 5. Agencies Would
Save S99,941 Yearly
By Power Rate Cut
PUG Order Due Soon on
Revisions Offered by
Pepco at Hearings

Government agencies would re-
ceiye annual savings of sos, ,941 under
proposed new power rate schedules
being considered by the Public Utili-
ties Commission, it was indicated
today as the body prepared orders
for broader investigation of means
of regulating charges by the Poto-
mac Electric Power Co.
Hearings on adjustment of Pepco
rates this year, under the existing
sliding scale plan, were concluded
yesterday, and an order by the PUG
is expected within several days.
The company, while protesting
there was no justification for any
rate decrease this year. proposed
new rates in keeping with the "direc-
tive" of the PUG majority for a rate
cut of not less than $310,400. In
working out new rate schedules the
estimated total ran to $311,784, of
which the company proposed to allo-
cate S68,606 to residential customers
and $243,178 to commercial and in
dustrial current users.
New Fireworks Likely.
Some new display of fireworks Is
expected to come from counsel for
the OPA and the Treasury Depart
ment and Gregory Hankin, PUG
minority member, as soon as the
PUG majority has issued its order
in this case, but apparently the OBJ
jectors are not in agreement.
Harry R. Booth, representing the
OPA, and Thurman Hill of the
Treasury, have settled on a demand
for rate reductions this year under
the sliding scale plan of some
$2,000,000. But Mr.. Hankin declared
yesterday this years rates should be
reduced by not less than $4,943 ,683
This figure, incidentally is more
than $1,000,000 above Pepco's net
income for the past calendar year,
officials said.
Householder Will Save Little.
1t was brought out yesterday that
the new rate schedule proposed by
Pepco would result in saving of
little more than 4 cents month
on the bills of the householder, who
pays as much as $1.40 a month und>'
present rates.
James H. Flanagan, PUG chair
man, said that when the commits
sion issues its order for rate reduc-
tions this would be accompanied by
a companion order, as previously
promised, for an investigation and
later hearings on such questions as:
Should the sliding scale plan be
abrogated, or revised in favor of
some other method of rate regula-
ton?
Mr.. Booth said the OPA was con-
sidering whether to demand a re-
opening of the present case, or to
take it to court.

SO Burlington Tenants
Plan Protest Meeting
AGAINST Rent Increase
Oppose Hotels Request
To Boost Current Rates
For Permanent Guests

A protest meeting by some so
regular tenants against petition
with the Rent Control Board for in
crease in rents at the Burlington
Hotel will be held tonight in the
rooms of Representative Jarman,
Democrat, of Alabama, who has
been a tenant there since 1887.
1t is claimed that although the
petition was filed last November
tenants were not notified until the
last few days. Hearings have been
set for $50 am. Monday at the
rent boards Office, 1740 Massachu-
sets avenue NV.
THE whole idea," Mr.. Jarman
said, seems to be an obvious at
tempt to get rid of the present
tenants and rent to transients from
whom they can ask much more for
their rooms"
Harry H. Cookus, manager of the
hotel, told The Star that rents for
the building we're set by the rent
administration for January l, 1941.
The rents of the permanent tenants
WNAS INV 1AlSA SdoCo az O1lllCs ,
although less than transient rates.
The present petition, he said, would
have the effect of putting rent on a
daily basis for all rooms, whereas
at present some of the tenants pay
on a monthly and weekly basis.
Mr.. Cookus said that renewal of
a union contract for employees which
expired last October had increased
operating costs by $4,000 and that
the increase the year before was
$4,000. He said that it frequently
was necessary at present to turn
down transients because of the reg
ular tenants, who are paying less
than transient rates but are receiv-
ing hotel service.
A tenant, who said he now was
paying $214 a day on a weekly
basis, said under the proposed rates
he would have to pay $3.50 a day.
Mr.. Jarman said some increases
ranged around so per cent and that
he noticed one case of 1873 per cent
increase.
There has been an effort to get
rid of us for some time" Mr.. Jar
man added, "and I'll present the
evidence"

Because an 8-year-old boy learned
to read at the Burroughs School,
that small elementary school now
leads all 178 District public schools
in purchase of jeeps with War bonds
and stamps.
Its record of 40 jeeps is almost
twice that of the nearest COM
petitor. The much larger Woodrow
Wilson High School sold enough to
buy "a jeeps. To the credit of the
610 students of Burroughs is re-
corded sale of $4,000 worth of War
bonds, about $500 apiece.
A little boy at the Burroughs had
trouble learning to read, said the
principal, Miss Marie A. Turner.
This year he learned to read and
has come to love the school. His
delighted father, said Miss Turner,
led all the businessmen of the COM
munity in subscribing bond pur-
chases at the school. On the last
day of the Burroughs drive, Tuesday
she said, more than $4,000 worth
OF bonds, enough for % jeeps, were
sold to businessmen of the surround
ing Woodbridge community.
"At first we did not attempt to
compete with the larger schools -
said Miss Turner. But the. people
of our community took an interest
and now we lead the city"
