Montgomery SideIights
By ELSIE WHITE HAINES

Montgomery County Homemak-
ers and all others living in the
area served by the Potomac Elec-
trio Power Company, have treat
in store for them when they visit
the Electric Playhouse" in the
Pepco building at 10th and E
Streets in Washington.
This unique Playhouse, under
the supervision of the Electric In
stitute, will offer dramatic presen-
tations to women's groups followed
by luncheons served from the
Plsyhouse's own kitchen by Pep
co.'s Home Service Bureau, under
supervision of Miss Mary Turner
who is known to many county
women through cooking schools
held here.
With the man of the house we
were guests of A. G. Neal, .presi-
dent of the company, Tuesday eve
ming, when Montgomery County
officials, members of the county
press and radio, as well as those of
the District of Columbia, saw a
preview of the magic Carpet to
Homemaking" and were entertain
ed at a cocktail party afterwards.
The Playhouse is an intimate 98-
seat auditorium built in conjunc-
ton with the Institutes permanent
appliance exhibit floor in the Pep
co building. Three revolving sound
stages and two elevator stages
provide facilities for demonstra-
tions of electrical equipment and
lighting. An unusual feature of
the auditorium itself is remark
able new seating arrangement per-
hitting every other row of seats
/ to be quickly converted into indi-
vidual tables.
The Playhouse features a dra-
matte presentation of the nature
of light followed by a demonstra-
ton of electrical equipment in the
form of a playlet "For Gracious
Living"
As the curtains to the stage part
visitors see and hear the story of
Henry and Helen Wilson who en-
joy gracious living in their all
electrical home. Husband Henry is
heard in the role of narrator as
Helen smoothly prepares for an
unexpected guest after a hurried
consultation with Henry over the
phone. AS Henry proudly tells a
friend of the advantages of vari-
Gus electrical features in his home,
we see Helen washing clothes, pre-
pairing dinner, lighting the garden
and arranging the living room.
Revolving stages permit smooth,
rapid transition from room TO
room so that the action is unin-
terrupted. Finally, we see Helen
running an electric sweeper over
the rug in a last minute cleanup
and hastily adjusting her hair in
the lighted mirror as Henry rings

your needs, then come home and
buy it from your local dealer.
Twice last year we availed our
selves of the service - having a
given space to fit in new equipment
we went there and decided which
would best fit in. One day at the
Center we met a neighbor plan

We made no bones, however, of
telling Mr.. Neal that we could not

eggs all in one basket-if wires
are down and power fails we can
at least eat. This amused hubby as
well as our host.

Points Of the Federal
Housing Law

Yesterday many of the questions
which have been confusing Dayton
tenants were answered. A few Of
the questions were held over until
today, that is, the elaboration of
several points made then.
Here are some Of the over
charges made by landlords which
are violations of the Federal
Housing Law:
1. There is the regular over
charge. The landlord may not
charge more than the maximum
rent as fixed by the housing ex-
peditor in his area. Regardless
of the demands made by the land
lord, the tenant should not pay
more than the maximum.
2. The landlord cannot require
the tenants to pay bonus, either
in cash or merchandise, to get the
home.
3. The tenant is not required
to buy furniture or any other prop
erty in order. to get a home.
4. The maximum amount of
security deposit a landlord can ex-
act from the tenant is one months
rent. Any more than that is an
illegal overcharge.

Ruling h An
Arrest Can be
Made
Made

There is a ruling handed down
by County Prosecutor Matthias
Heck which should be noted. It is
the one in which he ruled that
all law enforcement officers must
be in uniform and their cars must
be properly marked before they
can make an arrest. This includes
town constables.
There is one exception to this:
when a constable is answering a
family complaint and sees a drunk
drying violation. Even if he is
is not in proper uniform he may
testify in court.
All other circumstances that ex-
list at a particular time will re-
quire that he be in uniform.

5. The landlord may not effect
a reduction in service in order to
overcharge in tina way. For exam
pie, the landlord may suddenly re-
fuse to pay the light or heat bill.
Here are some of the reasons
why a landlord can go to court
to obtain an eviction of the tenant.
1. Non-payment of legal rent.
2. The continuing to be a nui-
sance after the landlord has given
a written notice to stop.
3. Using the house for illegal
purposes.
4. Refusal to permit the land
lord to inspect the house or to
show it to a prospective buyer.
5. At the expiration of an apart
ment which has been entirely sub
let.
6. Where the employee of a
company-owned house is no longer
employed by the company.
Tenants r urged to study these
regulations very carefully. Any
further questions which arise in
connection with the Housing Law
should be addressed to the Federal
Housing Expediter at the phone
number which was given yesterday.
