Application To
Increase Rates

Potomac Electric Power Com
pany on May 81, 1913, filed with
the Public Service Commission of
Maryland a proposal to revise its
Maryland rate schedules effective
July 1, 1948.
In announcing this action, A. G..
Neal, President, said, "after a con-
tinuing record of rate reductions,
this is the first increase in billing
rates requested by Pepco in %
years." The company has not
asked for an increase in its billing
rates since 1920. If the proposed
increase becomes effective, Pepco's
rates will still remain among tie
lowest in the United States. The
aggregate rate reductions put into
effect during the years 1926
through 1943, on noncumulative
basis, total approximately $8,400,-
600 and in addition, refunds ag-
gregating $3,213,601 were made to
customers last year.
The Pepco President explained
that the company's present billing
rates, which were based on 1912
operations, are producing revenues
wholly insufficient to offset the
continued increases in its operat-
ing expenses"

Vicki Baum Pens
Warning To White
Supremacists

Hollywood tCNSl-With her
usual gift for choosing the most
timely themes for her books, Vicki
Baum again has hit the nail on
the head in her newest novel,
"Headless Angel, published last
month by Doubleday Doran in
New York City.
Miss Baums heroine, Clarinda,
blue eyed and fair skinned, Is
taken from Weimar to the turbu'
lent Mexico of the early l80Os by
a romantic, Spanish hero who
like all the rest of Mexico's ruling
class of that period, worshipped
a white skin above all else and
scorned the skinned natives
How all these bigoted people lost
their fortunes and their lives
when the natives finally reached
the end of their patience and re-
volted, forms the exciting climax
of "Headless Angel. Clarinda, "a
lone, survived and returned to
Europe to live in her memories of
a world that no longer existed
For several months last year
Miss Baum actually lived in
Guanajuato, Meyico, scene of most
of the action of ''Headless Angel
to get authentic background ma
terial for her book Its strong,
humanitarian theme was dictated
by the authoress's own broad be-
liefs and by her desire to have a
share in the molding of peoples
thoughts along democratic lines.

That he is dead. He is just away
With a CHEEKY smile and a wave
Of hand
He has wondered into an un-

And left us dreaming how very

We think of him faring on, as

In the love there as the love

Think of him still as the same,

canned Bartlett Pears from the
state of Washington are ready to
lelp with many interesting dishes
his spring and summer. Early
poets sang the praises OF the pear,
and Homer in his works referred
10 them as the Gift OF God. II these
early poets could see the Bartlett
Pear as It has been developed
today. they would scarcely recog-
nize 1t as the fruit to which they
sang praises centuries ago. Today
1t is one Of the most delicate OF
all fruits, in flavor, color and
texture.
Washington Is one of the leading
states In the production Of Bartlett
Pears. with Its unique location
along the Pacific Coast. Here the
orchards flourish in rich volcanic
ash soil, under scientific irrigation.
Bartlett Pears, differ from most
other deciduous fruits In that they
attain their highest quality when
harvested before they are fully ripe.
After they have developed suf.
fciently, they are harvested in the
slightly green" stage and reach
their highest quality by fully ripen.
ing, of the tree.
The canned Bartlett Pear has a
clear, cream color tending toward
translucency. They are uniform In
shape and size, have firm yet
tender texture, with n comparative
ly small number Of grit cells. These
qualities place them second to none
IN the canned pear varieties. q"
Pears are popular fruit served
when chilled. as they come from
The can. Serve them as a breakfast
iruit or as dessert fruit. They
accompany meat to stretch the
meat supply and to afford an attrac.
tive garnish to the meat platter.
