retarded, if not defeated. Yet, how
human it is to take a railroad for
granted-just as we do so many
facilities and conveniences that are
a part of our daily lives"
Because of the railroads." Mr..
White emphasized, "a fruit grower
can constantly bring his fruit to your
dinner table by shipping his produce
by rail to your corner grocer. Or a
coal miner can keep your home fires
burning by sending coal by rail to
a fuel dealer in your neighborhood.
Similar examples of the railroads
everyday benefits are apparent in
the movement of lumber, food, grain
hardware and countless other arti-
cles." "In peace, as in war;" Mr..
White concluded, 'the Baltimore &
Ohio, which links 10 great states
with the nation, will continue to inn
prove service all over its II 900 miles
Of track Our 10000 men and wo-
men continually endeavor to give
our customers the greatest possible
benefits from our great link
through the application of the prin-
ciple of progress-the science of con-
tinually making things better!"

In discussing the future of Ameri-

White, President of the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad, recently observed:
Modern transportation has made
America one, great neighborhood-
nation where people of one commu-
nifty may easily exchange goods,
services and ideas with the men and
women of all other communities"
During the war;" continued Mr..
White, "the railroads form a strong,
dependable link between war ma
terial producers and continental en-
barkation points. In the peacetime
days to come, the railroads will con-
tinue to be the link that brings a
myriad of things for better living to
Mr.. and Mrs. America"
Think of the railroads." said Mr..
White, "as band of steel connecting
the village with the metropolis over
which, in never-ending two-Way
stream, flows the daily necessities
for home and business"
Without such a link between as
the vast railroad network" continu-
ed Mr.. White, II am sure you'll agree

In Great Smith, Edison Marshall
tells the story of Captain John Smith
in a highly dramatic and colorful
novel. While he is best known to us
for his activities in Virginia and his
affair with Pocahontas, this episode
is only one of the many adventures
in the life of this amazing man. AS
youth John Smith talked with a
sailor in country tavern and from
that conversation was born Smiths
life's ambition - to discover the
Northwest passage and SO reach the
Indies. The road to the Indies was
one of unending adventure, which
led him from fighting in Flanders
to Africa and southern Europe,
where he fought against the Turks
and where he was taken prisoner
and sold into slavery to a Turkish
lady of rank.
Read My Mother Is A Violent WO-
man, by Tommy Wadelton, and you
will agree that it is one of the fun
niest books that you have come
across in many moon. Tommy is
the thirteen-year old son of an Am
erican Army officer. His mother is a
writer and a violent woman-that
is, she is Irish and has red hair and
a violent temper, of which her hus-
band and son occasionally are vic
TINS. Tommy tells about his family,
his schooldays and other incidents in
his life. This is an amusing book be-
cause Tommy does not seem to be
consciously trying to be funny. Much
of the humor comes from the natur-
al, enforced way he sets down his
thoughts and is therefore all tie
more hilarious.
All lovers of animal stories will
delight in Lassie Come Home, by
Eric Knight, which is one of the most
poignant, yet thoroughly realistic
dog stories that has been written for
some time 1t tells of Lassie, the prize
dog of a humble household, who is
sold to wealthy family when hard
times befall her original owners.
Lassie, taken hundreds of miles
away, faithful to her original master,
starts for home and the authors ac-
count of the collie's long, weary trek
home, with only instinct to guide
her, is told with profound under
standing and makes deeply moving
story.

GOOD READING FOR THE WEEK

Four Fears, by Ebert D. Thomas,
is both fighting book and a mag
nificent analysis of our world out
look. The author does not fight with
words, but with facts. He points out
that if the Four Freedoms are be our
international goal, then fear of Eng
land and Russia, fear of entangling
alliances, fear of idealism and fear
of revolution must be eliminated and
to do this they must be met with in
telligence. This book is a counter
blast at these national phobias,
which not only exist, but continue
to grow, fed by ignorance and pre-
JUDGE.
Now VOyager, by Olive Higgins
Prouty, is the story of woman who,
long denied a life of her own, finally
sets forth and seeks and finds full
fillment Charlotte, the principal
figure in the book, is the victim of
domestic circumstances which for
years have deprived her, not only of
freedom of action, but of initiative
too. Due to the fortunate accident of
an illness, Charlotte is forced to
leave home temporarily and a wise
advisor introduces her to new prin-
ciples of living. The story opens on
board a cruise boat before the pres
ent war started Charlotte, travelling
alone for the first time in her life,
is plunged into series of adventures
which put her new principles to the
test and make most stimulating

The Mountain, by Alice Beals Per
sons, is one of those delightful books
rich in passing humor and good-tem-
pered philosophy. Nearly twenty
years ago the writer went to live
on 'The Mountain" bluff overlook
ing the Hudson, near Nyack, N. Y.
Now she gives us refreshing pan
Drama of this Hudson country. This
is lovely bit of storytelling with
all the action and reliability of a
novel. 1t might be called the auto
biography of brilliant and observ-
ing woman, for it is that in part. 1t
is also a fascinating slice of regional
history, an Interpretation character
lied by its informality and charm.

manship is The Lady In The Lake,
by Raymand Chandler A woman
disappears and her husband, who adj
mits he hates her, hires detective
to find her. The detective, Philip
Marlowe, realizes that the important
clue is not in a number of unaccount-
able happenings, but in the character
of the woman who has vanished

world of evil and then he began to

The Public Utilities Commission
will be unable to hold its annual
rate hearings under the sliding
scale arrangement for adjustment
of rates of the Potomac Electric
Power Co. at this time because the
1914 decision of the commission is
still tied up in litigation in the
courts, the PUG announced yester-
day
To keep at least skeleton form"
of the sliding scale in effect, public
hearing has been called for 10 am.
March II at the District Building,
but it will be adjourned Immediately.
The PUG staff has done some in
vestigation work, but it connot COM
plete it until the litigation is ended.
District Court upheld the COM
mission in slashing rates last year
by $1,038,000, but delayed the re-
duction pending Pepco's appeal to
the Court of Appeals.
Lloyd Harrison, assistant corpora
ton counsel attached to the COM
mission, said it would be impossible
to calculate the 1914 revenue of the
company until the rate litigation is
settled. Under the provisions of the
sliding scale arrangement the rev.
enue of the company in 1914 would
be used as guide to determine
whether the rates should be changed
in 1945.
If the commissions rate slash,
which would be retroactive to March
l, 1914, is finally upheld in the
courts. the company will have to
recompute each customers bill. II
the company loses, it would not be
until after the new computations
that revenue figures would be avail
able for the annual investigation.
Mr.. Harrison also pointed out that
the schedule of rates submitted to
the commission for 1914 designed
to carry out the reduction, have not
yet been approved by the commits
sion. At a recent hearing, the Fed
eral Government asked for so days
in which to study the schedule.
