Full Equality Demanded. Reclassification measures, according to Miss Berrien, should be based upon “full equality of opportunity between men and women in all branches of the service.” She adds that “a very dis- { couraging feature of the reclassifica- i tion movement is the fact that on the departmental boards being established in preparation for the carrying out of {reclassification measures women have [almost no representation. This is di- i rectly contrary to the theory of equal opportunity.” ‘WILL TAKE TREATMENT. Capt. Chester P.

CLYAS WILLIAMS WARNING IS ISSUE 10 COAL DEADERS Only 60 Per Cent of Hard Coal Usually Burned May Be Delivered at Present. { The Public Utilities Commission to- [day again called the ccal dealers to the rule prohibiting them from delivering to any house- ! holder more than 60 per cent of the lamount of hard coal usually burned by the householde: % The commission was prompted to call attention to this rule by the fact that several of the dealers have now ! completed the delivery of one month's supply to ail of their customers and fare prepared to begin the delivery {0f a second thirty-day allotment. Reason for Warning. The reason the commission placed the 60 per cent restriction on hard coal was because they have informa- tion that the District of Columbia will only obtain during the entire winter that percentage of the amount of anthracite it usually gets. Wording of Letter. The commission directs the deal- ers to notify their customers that the remaining 40 per cent of the winter requirements must be met by the purchase of substitute fuel, such s soft coal or briquettes The commission’s letter to the deal- ers in part as follows: “Deliveries under this restriction include all kins of anthracite, rang- ling from pea to broken or furnace jcoal. The amount of coal on hand in la consumer's prem: at the time he ‘made application, must be includ- ed as a part of the 60 percent allo'- ment for the winter.” U.S. DEBT COMMISSION 15 STUDYING EUROPE Scrutinizing Economic Conditions to Determine Ability of Debtor Nations to Pay. The American debt commission is making a special study of economic conditions of Europe, it was indi- cated yesterday at the Treasury, with a view to determining what the various debtor nations can pay the United States on their war debte. The gold situation, it was said, has a close connection with that abllity to pay and this is being especially scrutinized. Foreign trade and eco- nomic _conditions in general aiso are receiving the attention of the com- mission, it was indicated. As yet, Treasury officials declared. no consideration has been given to the suggestion from abroad that the United States be represented in some form at the proposed Brussels con- ference to consider economic ques- tions and interallied indebtedness. Evidently numerous persons throughout the country recently took seriously the hint of President Hard- ing that a “prize” ought to be offered for a successful plan for collection of the European war debts. Sug- gestions have been pouring into the | Treasury, officials sald yesterday. One {man said he had a good plan, but wanted to know how much the prize was before he would be willing to reveal his secret. _— “AMERICA AND_!ERDUN.” Col. Thomas J.

THE LAST PIECE OF CAKE ?Penniless Widow ' Of Hammerstein Feared a Suicide By the Associated Press.

Demand for the removal of the portable school placed on the body School playground was voiced by A. H. Gregory, chairman of the schools and playgrounds committee of the Stanton Park Citizens' Asso- ciation, at a meeting of that bhdy at the Peabody School last night. “The board of education has no legal right to place schools on play- grounds, especially as this school is {not a public one, but used as an Americanization school for a few small children of foreign birth.” said Gregory, who declared that it was only after. a twelve-year fight that they got a playground at all. Urges Dental Clinfe. Miss Young, principal of the Pea- body School, urged the establishment of a dental clinic in the building. She cited two cases of children who were forced to leave school and return home on account of toothache yester- day, the parents not being able to af- ford the cost of dental attention. The association members discussed at length the traffic situation, which they declared to be very serious. They will request that the north and south sides of Stanton Park be made one-way streets, respectively, with “turtles” placed at the four corners of the roadways running around the park as a gulde to traffic. The organization opposed the es- tablishment of a bus route proposed from 15th street and Maryland ave- nue northeast to 21st and B streets northwest on the ground that it was unnecessary.. A committee was appointed to visit Mr. Patterson, who has charge of selecting school buildings for ~elec- trical wiring, for the purpose of hav- ing the Peabody wired at an early date. i Cancer Week Discussed. Dr. A. W. Boswell, president of the Medical Society of the District of Columbia, spoke to the members in regard to “Cancer week.” Cancer is not a blood disease, but begins with purely a local infection which, if properly dealt with immediately, can be cured for all time, Dr. Boswell pointed out. He declared that there had been an increase of 181; per cent in cancer cases in persons over for- ty-five years of age during the pe- riod from 1900 to 1917. R. B. Dickey addressed the associa- tion in regard to the Shrine conven- tion in June. Six hundred thousand loaves of bread, 1,200,000 cigars and 600,000 quarts of milk would be re- quired over the present daily produc- tion if the District of Columbia has to entertain 300,000 Shriners, Mr. Dickey estimated.
