Institu- tion Makes Appeal for Contributions. Shelves at the Thrift Shop, where every sale is recorded in the interest ©f charity, need restocking. In fact, the modest little E street establishment, which has contributed to needy causes at the rate of $11,000 yearly, has just about run out of things to sell. Washington housewives, now in the middle of their Fall cleaning, can aid the shop by ferreting out articles not in demand at home or little-used fur- somebody else. If you have anything of potential sales value, call Mrs. Graham, man- ager of the Thrift Shop, 1011 E street, at Metropolitan 1026, or send it di- Tect to the organization. Old “Curiosity Shop.” In character and appearance, the Thrift Shop harkens back o Charles Dickens’ “Old Curiosity Shop.” Among 1ts customers, you will find the gentle- man with the cut-away coat, striped | trousers and spats, and in the other | extreme the barefoot youngster whose | clothes will not bear too close in- spection. Also you will see the book lover, the bargain hunter, the antique collector and those not too well-to-do individ- uals who seek the better things of life. These persons find at the Thrift Bhop things which have been left by others who have made room in their homes for new and up-to-date fur- nishings. Mostly it is a matter of getting tired of them, many of the quality, but of yesterday’s vintage. The shop was established by a woman interested in the Junior League who with a dozen or more friends, turned her attention to the social wel- fare of Washington. Aims of Thrift Shop. * The aims of the Thrift Shop are: 0 put to useful purpose those | things which some put away and at which they never look again. “To place in the hands of people of moderate means things of good qual- ity, which can be adjusted to modern | style by trained hands. “To produce an income that fur- nishes to five children’s charities | « things that promote their health and‘ " happiness.” So, the Thrift Shop's shouldn't be allowed to collect dust. | THE WEATHER I District of Columbia—Fair today | eand tomorrow; not much change in temperature, gentle southwest winds «. becoming moderate northwest this afternoon.

C.,v SEPTEMBER 29, 1935—PART ONE. one of Washington's outstanding POWER PROFITS ASKED FOR PUBLI Roberté Says Consumers Should Share in Substation Condemnation Benefits. Any profit accruing to the Potomae Electric Power Co. as a result of con- demnation” by the Federal Govern- ment of the power company substa- tion in acquiring the site for the new annex to the Interior Department | Building, should go to the consuming public, People’s Counsel William A. | Roberts declared vesterday in a state- | ment to the Public Ulilities Commis- sion. He urged the commission to make a thorough investigation of all avail- able records pertaining to claims to the value of the old substation south Building and the calculated cost of | replacing certain power cables and | adjustment of consumer appliances to accord with change from alternating to direct current. | He proposed that the power com- | pany be required to establish an ade- quate reserve to meet charges result- | ing from abandonment of the sub- | station. UnoZ3icially, this figure is said to amount to more than $300,000. “I have asked the Public Utilities | Commission to designate an account- | ant to examine the correspondence, | pleadings, claims and accounts of the | Potomac Electric Power Co. with re- | spect to its direct current substation | tormerly located at the site of the | new Interior Department Building,” Roberts said. | “The company, I am advised, has claimed the Goverrment should pay it for the replacement of the alter- | nating current substation and for| conduits, cables and other appur-| tenances which would be substituted for those now abandoned. The price to be paid will also include severance | damages and expenses which must be | incurred in the future in connection with replacement of consumers’ ap- ’pl;ances on the change to alternating Tent, | T desire that the commission be fully advised so that the entire cost of the replacement may be charged ! | against the sums received from the Federal Government and an adequate reserve may be established to meet charges to operating expenses result- ing from the condemnation. “Since the present retirement re- serve of the Potomac Electric Power Co. is maintained through charges to | operating. expenses, the public wiil be | deprived of reducion in rates if any amount of the cost of the repluenent" in this project is charged to the re- tirement reserve. Inasmuch as any loss in connection with removal of the structure in normal operating con- ! ditions would have to be borne by the | public, it is only fair and reasonable that any profit which may result from the condemnation should go to the benefit of the customers rather than to the corporate surplus.” | Auristocrats of Eyewear Democratic Oxford 7.8 Complete Folding Style Frame and White Lenses In oxfords you look correct while you see correctly.

Casey this week in a Police | Court test case. Should the judge de- | cide against the defendant, hundreds‘\ of vendors throughout the city would | be subject to arrest. | Joseph Elansky, who has a stand | beside a bank at ‘Wisconsin avenue | and M street, is the defendant in the case. He was arrested on charges of “occupying a public place” and “standing in one place longer lhln} shelves | Of the present Interfor Department | Decessary to make a sale.” Al testi- mony has beed heard and Judge ! Casey's ruling is expected early in the week. Elansky, according to Assistant Cor- poration Counsel .James W. Lauder- ! dale, has an occupancy permit for his small place, as well as a vendor's | license. He makes sales, however, from the 3 feet of space near the building line which the District code states shall be used only for the display of 800ds for sale inside the building. His defense is based on the fact that othe: dealers, including the White Hous: popcorn man, have baen permitted for years to occupy public space without | prosecution, and in allowing this the | Commissioners have set a precedent | under which he canrot be denied the | same right. The District contends Elansky does not have the right to use sidewalk space, and if he were permitted this | privilege all merchants could use the | sidewalk for sales. !
