of women are doing their utmost
on the home front.
Working Extra Hours
''In my own State of Washing
ton, as well as elsewhere, women
by the thousands are donning
overalls and going into the air
plane plants and the ShipyardS,
relieving men for services with
the armed forces. Those whose
duties at home or in business re-
quire much time, are working
extra hours at wartime jobs such
as those in the Red Cross, in
groups which look after the en-
tertainment and contribute to the
morale of our young soldiers,
sailors and marines.
"This global war which we are
fighting could not be won without
our working women. They are
softening the shock of wartime
privations in the home, instilling
the will to fight in our men on the
far flung war front, and the spirit
of true Americanism i'm our rising
generation. They are seeing to it
that our religious ideals are not
overlooked in a world torn by
violence and death.
81 pay tribute to these women
of America during National Bust
ness Women's Week, October 10
to 16, and to the magnificent job
they are doing in the professions,
in business, in the homes, and in
our war industries and training
centers. With such spirit as they
are demonstrating, Victory is but
a question of time, and the time
required to win will be much
more brief because of their eff
forts"

They also cited the train wreck
last year at Dickerson, Nd, where
the wrecked train was in a ravine
and rescue work had to be carried
on from both banks. Communication
between rescue parties on opposite
banks could be effected only by driv-
ing three miles around, tie haz-
ardous gorge.
The Prince Georges County Chap
ter, under the command of Mrs. E.
s. Eamhardt and Mrs. Helen Hen
derson, was also on hand Sunday
with its ambulance In contact with
the control center only through the
walkie-talkie, the truck responded to
emergency calls within a three e-mile
area in an effective demonstration
OF the scope of the setup.
High frequency sets, such as the
WYNN, are tricky things The men
who operate them never know just
how far away they are going to be
heard. On recent test, a patrol
bomber picked up messages from
the Hyattsville center at a distance
OF 235 miles. The farthest they have
been heard on land, however, is SO
miles, according to Construction and
Installation Chief Roy Ridgeley.
Here is the setup in a nutshell:
"A double lecher wire with diode
rectifier and microammeter in its
output. and calibrated shortening
bar, will be used to check the oper-
ating frequency of 2l2 meters as
often as it is found necessary to keep
stations on frequency"

Arlington Is Awarded
Honorable Mention
OF Safety Council
One Of ! 300 Entries;
Is Included Among
30 Cities Given Awards

Arlington County last night was
presented an honorable mention
award won in the National Safety
Council, 1912 traffic safety contest.
Arlington was one of 30 cities to
receive an award. There we're 1900
entries.
Arlington competed with cities in
the $4,000 to 100000 population
group. Ratings were based on motor
vehicle death record, accident re-
porting, traffic engineering, traffic
law enforcement, child safety, public
education and conservation of war
transportation. The county Safety
Council sponsored Arlington's par
ticipation.
Edward S. Webb, manager of the
Washington office of the NSC, who
made the presentation to Basil M.
De Lashmutt, county board chair
man, praised Arlington for the fine
showing in its first contest.
Mr., Webb said Arlington has had
a considerable problem because a
number of policemen have entered
the armed forces, while 1912 traffic
increased considerably because of
the number of war workers who
have moved into the county.
Clifton G. Stoneburner, Arlington
safety engineer, and Safety Council
director, said there is a fine CO.
ordination between the police and
school departments and the council
He also gave much credit to all
county bus lines for their part in
helping to win the award. The
Arnold-Operated Line, he stated, has
run more miles than any individual
or company in the county and has
established fine safety record.

Test in Court
Seen for Pepco
Sliding Scale
Reconsideration of
Rate Order Denied
By PUG

A court test of the sliding scale
Potomac Electric Power Co. rate
case before TIE Public Utilities Com
mission was anticipated today as a
result of proceedings yesterday be-
fore the District PUG.
The District agency denied late
yesterday petition for reconsider
alton of its rate order, which had
been filed few days earlier by the
OPA and other intervening Federal
agencies. This had been forecast.
AS action was taken late yesterday,
Gregory Hankin. minority member
of the PUG, charging that PUG
Chairman James H. Flanagan had
withheld letters that passed between
Mr.. Flanagan and Sterilization Di-
rector James F. Byrnes.
Action by President Asked.
Mr.. Hankin, in a letter to Mr..
Byrnes, indirectly appealed for
action by the President, stating:
Il fully realize that the President
is so tied up with international and
national problems of tremendous
Importance that everything possible
should be done to avoid bothering
him with affairs of the District of
Columbia. In view of the above,
however, and in the interest of CO.
operation with the Presidents own
policies, I feel compelled to ask you
to bring this matter to his atten-
ton
Mr. Hankin complained that only
after difficulties had he obtained the
Byrnes letter to Mr.. Flanagan and
the latter's reply.
ByrneS Asks Cooperation.
from Mr.. Byrnes to Mr. Flanagan
had asked cooperation of the PUG
with the Office of Economic Stabili-
zation in the matter of preventing
imitation in the field of utility rates
and requested Mr.. Flanagan's views.
The latter said he looked on both
that letter and his reply as being
personal in nature.
Mr. Flanagan said: Mr.. Hankin's
minority opinion consists chiefly of
comment on correspondence between
Mr.. Byrnes and myself, into which
Mr.. Hankin injected himself. But
it has nothing to do with the PEPCO
rate case"
The petition for reconsideration
by the OPA and the other Federal
agencies charged there were not
less than Al errors in the PUG
order and declared the rate reduc-
ton order should not have been
less than $2,0OO,000.
