V magazine 01 business, puDiisnes American Telephone and Telegraph company as a concern which is definitely setting its interest of its stockholders but m the .Interest .of -the gen eral public. It quotes one high official as saying: "The emphasis we place Is not upon string the last possible , " cent to the stockholder as soon as we can get It to him . . . A lawyer once phrased It that In the Bell System the public was the residuary legatee of all benefits, whereas in most businesses the stockholder was the residuary legatee of all benefits. That Is an accurate description of our motives." ther the telephone company lives up to these standards or not; but certainly this statement sets up a wonderful ideal of public ' service. President Gifford is also quoted to the same effect: It . . . would be contrary to sound policy for the manage ment to earn speculative or large profits for distribution as melons or extra dividends. On the other hand, payments to 'stockholders limited to reasonable regular dividends with their right, as the business requires new money from time to time, to make further investments on favorable terms, are to the Interest both of thetelephone users and of the stockholders. "Earnings must be sufficient to assure the best possible telephone service at all times and to assure the continued fi nancial integrity of the business. ... Earning in excess of these requirements mu9t either be spent for the enlargement - and improvement of the service furnished or the rates chargsd for the service must be reduced. This Is fundamental in the poUcy of the management." . Some significant things about the telephone monopoly are that no individual or concern owns more than seven tenths of one per cent of its capital stock. It has some 600,000 stockholders, scattered all over the world. It is not run1 by any Wall Street banking house and has never sold its stock through private bankers like the house of Morgan.

It is the biggest corporation in the country, yet the Western Union turned down a chance to buy it in , 1876 for $100,000. This "Fortune" article analyzes, the Western Electric connection which is generally regarded as the "rabbit in the hat," claiming that the surplus earnings f Western Electric go back into the improvement of the telephone end or tne ousmess. As a big monopoly it is pertinent for the public to in quire into its affairs from time to time and ascertain whether it is rendering the best service at the lowest rates, and to uncover any administration ox the business wnicn at in this editorial is, why cannot public utilities set their course in the same direction the A.

Her quick wit has served her both in election cam paigning and in parliamentary wrangling.

CtL XHaor to make the life of the In fant or child comfortable. Ia Infants only a few weeks' old one frequently encounters a rash which may cover" a part or nearly tne whole surface ot the body. In most cases the eruption is red and may or may not be raised above the -aarface of the akin and la more- apt to be 1 more intense under the area covered by the di aper. In most eases the baby has been kept too warm either with toe much .clothing or too much woolen garments. One must re member that a baby has a very tender and thin skin which can be easily Irritated. The liberal apt plication of olive - oU and the elimination of powders is more conducive to a healthy skin In a baby also. ' ' Frequently one sees In Infants a little older a greatly disturbing affection; namely, eczema. ' A number of causes-have been des cribed as being responsible , for the disease. TJie concensus of opinion is that there is some al teration from normal in the as similation ,t the- food the Infant takes or it may be that specific foods taken by the mother or the nf ant max cause disturbances. In" some cases this may be deter mined by skin testa which are performed by a physician. So far as treatment of eczema Is con cerned, that should always be carried out by a physician. There are a number of remedial agents at his command and he only is qualified to determine which la to be used. Most Infants who have eczema usually are free ot the disease by the time they reach the age of 18 months. Birth marks while not in the strictest sense skin diseases are worth mentioning. Those kinds which are bright red in color and raised above the surface ot the skin grow rather rapidly. If they are situated on the head It Is us ually better, to have them re moved. This Is usually done by a physician more or less skilled in this type of work and should lead to gratifying results. Other types of birth marks are more difficult to remove. In older children we see more commonly the type of-skin dis ease that Is "catching." They oc cur at school age more frequent ly because chUdren come in con tact with each other in play and at school. Impetigo is frequently seen and when occurring about the face Is called a "cold sore" at times. It may spread to any part of the body. The cause of this disease is a specific germ which gets into an abrasion of the skin and forms a crusty sore. Its oc currence is not necessarily an In dication of tilth but one does see it more commonly on a dirty skin because the germs have more ot a chance to grow in such. an environment. Medically it should be treated by a physician; at home the afflicted one should have the sole use of his own linen and articles with which he plays. Scabies or itch Is another dis ease seen In children. It Is caused by a small parasite which bur rows Into the skin and lays its eggs. Itching is more common at night because the body is warm er in bed. It Is more apt to be found In the less exposed parts of the body.1 Strict adherence to the physician's orders usually will quickly j eradicate the dis ease. Proper disinfection of clothing aad bed linen as well as proper medication are very' im portant matters. Cleanliness while not a guar antee against akin diseases in children will go far In preventing many of them. Koehlers Home To Many Guests , At Recent Fete WEST SALEM.

She was getting Invita tions the Hollenbeck girls were not. And who were the Whal- eysT Nobody at all. Mama had snubbed Bertha Smith tor the shopkeeper's daughter she was when they were girls, and turn ed up her aristocratic nose at the plodding, Dutchy Raymond Whaley, who wasn't even In so ciety at all: And now Bertha with a daughter mentioned in the society columns nearly every day. It was too much. Mama was worried, and when she worried, she nagged. "Louise, the Whaley girl Is on the receiving list at Major Nut ting's." "Is she?" "Yes. she is. It says here In the Herald. 'Miss Isabella Whal ey, . debutante daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Arthur Whal ey of Piedmont, will be one of the charming young girls who will "Oh. spare vs. What do I care what IsabeUe Whaley does?" "Louise! Mama won't have you talk like that. I don't un derstand why you girls weren't asked? Are yon sure you nave always been sweet to Mrs. Nut ting? Ton know, dear, some times you're a little different.' "Oh, mama. It isnt that!" "How do yon know It isnt mr dear? And it isnt as though you were alone. Tour actions re flect on Nancy. It naraiy seems fair for your younger sister to have to suffer because you " "But mama, I HAVEN'T been rude to Mrs. Nutting. Good Lord, she doesn't know I'm alive!" "LOUISE! Yon mustn't talk like that to your mother. Why doesn't she want to know you? I'm sure my people are as good as hers. When I was a young girl no smart gathering would have been COMPLETE without me. It's true that your father's people-are not ... distinguish ed, bat nobody knows them here. It isnt like- having a grandfather who kept a grocery store, like poor Isabelle's. Who would think to see Bertha Whaley in her mink coat now, that she wore dirty red plush. dirty, mind you. made out of an eld table cloth or something, when she was first married. I m not one to wish anyone harm, but I often think if people ever saw Dutchy Whaley with his dirty face work ing for my father around the stable In rruitvale " Cllckety, clack. Cllckety. clack. Once mama's tongue got started on that subject there was no stopping . it. Aunt Ellie, hands folded on her stomach, rocked and nodded. Louise sewed in frozen silence. She would, have given anything In the- world to get away from it all.- To get out and make a place for herself In the workaday world. The world where nobody cared how- pretty you were or how- mack money you bad. provided you did your work efficiently and well. But how can you' get out and carve k career for yourself when your you're needed at home? In that mood she almost sym pathised with Nancy. Love didn't last. Look at the romances that ended in the divorce court. Jack Beamer had more money than he could spend and he had a place in society as weU. Head waiters scrambled when he approached. People liked him. His ranch in the fertile valley of the San Joa quin was one of the show places of the state. His yacht, the Swal low, won every, regatta up and down the coast.' His horses were International : favorites. Sunday supplements from East to West knew him as a polo player. f ' It was even easy to overlook his marriage. It was notoriously a joke .They didn't .even go to formal parties together any more For years people had asked, "Whea , are the B earners going to Reno?"

Jack Beamer, holding Nancy in his strong, thick arms, his broad back bent to lift her close . . . Nancy, slim and white and strangely tragic as she looked that night In the pale starlight, when she and Mat had come upon them near the river. So she always ended by wanting to cry ... no use pretending ... . it wasn't right, and nothing, not even Jack Bea mer's money, could make it right. . Nancy wasnt herself, either. She wandered around with two' bright red spots In her cheeks, listening for the telephone, watching for the postman, quar relsome and restless as a caged cat. "For-Pete'f sake. If we're go ing, why don't we goT What la Aunt Elite waiting for? If I'd known we were going to wait around a - week I'd have gone right back to the river. It'll be Just like her not to go, after all!" But slowly and surely. Aunt Ellie got ready to lave. Two of the best rooms at the Awahnee were reserved. Tickets were bought. A fat roll of greenbacks withdrawn from tha hank. Her favorite prescriptions were fill ed, her traveling medicine ease equipped with vari-colored pills; A bottle of pre-war whiskey against snake bite. A ' case of mineral . water to go on ahead. A last farewell to poor Uncle Joseph, round-faced and Jolly, despite his sufferings, as he lay on his narrow white bed at St. Francis' hospital. A last poison- rous look at the fresh looking nurse -who was "specialtng" him and Aunt Ellie and the girls were on their way. Mama waved a fondly tearful good-by from the doorway; the taxi started. Aunt Ellie pointed a fat. finger at the meter. "It was twenty-five cents before. we went a quarter of a block. Hej can't cheat me. There goes his Up!" They came: into the valley at midday. It lay under the golden eye ot the sun in extravagant, unreal beauty. A turquoise sky without the faintest puff of cloud hung -like a canopy overhead. A back-drop of mountains,, picked out- with th silvery threads of distant waterfalls; the . deep green of distant forest was like a stag aetting for the- rustic luxury ot the most expensive -hotel. Rivers rushed; clucking cool ly over stones. . Uountaln mead ows gleamed : through trees. The great falls thundered; the' sun made rainbows of "their farflung pray; But, Aunt V Elite Watson was not interested In scenery. She had come to .the Tosemite to rock, , and she. made it very ' plain that she had brought the girls to rock with her. V ' Resentful but resigned, Lou sat beside her and said. "Yes, Aunt Ellie."; and "No. I don't think so Aunt Ellie," while the old lady droned "I don't think much ot the fish for lunch.. At the prices they charge one would expect mercy was that a mo squito? 1 declare, if there's one around here for miles, it makes for me. I wonder what your Un cle Joseph is up to?

Aunt Ellie put her ever lasting crochet In Its black satin bag and plodded towards the el evator; "Was might as well .go too," Louise said. "We don't know anyone." CHAIN By HAZEL I IVINP.STON She slipped her arm : through Nancy's and got to her feet. "Wait!' Nancy breathed. She was leaning forward, staring fixedly at a man who had Just came In. CHAPTER XI. Louise's eyes followed: her sis ter's to the man, who, cigarette in nana, stooa looking around the spacious lobby. He wore the olive 'drab-" uni form of a raneer. His hnota and hat were dusty, even his impu dent smilinr face was rilrtv hut for all the dirt and fatigue, he was the youngest, freshest, most virue creature in the room. From hia innhnrnt hlnnria fialr tn )ha tips of his old riding boots he ispariiea. iis orignc oiue eyes twinkled; white teeth, under the stubby, toothbrush mustache, flashed as he encompassed the place in an all-enveloping, su premely good-natured grin. Then with a friendly wave -for a pass ing bellhop, he turned suddenly and went out, banging the door energetically behind him. Nancy whistled. "The first real man I've seen. And it's leaving." Lou smiled understanding. Nancy was incorrigible in the damps over one man one min ute and upon her toes for an other the next. Still it was a good sign. Maybe she would for get Jack Beamer and her wild est ideas of marrying him after he got his- divorce it she got In terested in somebody else. "Oh, he'll be back. Those rangers are ia and out all the time. And he Is attractive. I'd like to know him myself, honestly I I would!" she said. "I saw him - first!'' Nancy laughed. The old bubbling, lilt ing laugfi, and her eyes: widened and darkened with excitement. Now I'm going to find out all about him. Watch meji By to rn o r r ow we'll be intimate friends!" Tomorrow came and went with out any sign of him, but Nancy didn't give - up hope. She had found out that his name 1 was Roger Decanter, that he waa "in and out" of the hotel every day. The knowledge got her , through the day. i It was one ot the I longest, dreariest days that either of them ever' remembered. Hera they were, in one ot the wonder spots of the world, not aeelng an inch beyond the hotel windows. Surrounded with every luxury, they were too bored to enjoy it.

What he said shows. that there is a good story in the life- of every person; 'many good onee in moss Uvea. This one Is so Interesting that part of- it is printed below; the rest to appear in thta column tomorrow: : V lt la difficult to decide upon a few points ot possible interest in making a brief biographical account of one's own life. Per mlrht be interested in some of the high lights and the romance that have come my way. I was born in a small town near Chicago. Its name was Onarga. which was said to be the nsme of the princess daughter of Pn- tiac. chief of the Iroquois In dians. There is a town named Pontlae a short distance away and our cdunty was named Iro quois. My relatives in Rhode Is land would never believe toai we were not in constant danger of 'being scalped although al ways assured that the oniy In dians we ever saw were a very few with patent medicine snows o "Our town had a fresh water college with the Imposing nsme of Grand Prairie seminary, which served a very large section where there were many small towns. but at that time having almost no high schools. I found that Rotarlan Andrew Lee and his wife attended this same school shortly before my. time there. I was interested in Che science courses principally, and not In the dead languages. I would be lacking In gratitude not to pay tribute to Miss Bacon, the science teacher, a graduate of Wellesly college. Many science experi ments were performed that were not required. Some of these were more or less disastrous to floors, window glass and nerves Another professor whom I'll nev er forget was Professor George, a Harvard graduate, whose early death doubtless prevented na tional recognition In economics. "The serious side .of school work and we were worked hard in those days was enlivened and sometimes almost stopped on the request of President Van Pelt because of the Wild pranks and practical Jokes we perpetrated. The human skeleton sometimes disappeared from the school mu seum to greatly surprise some staid professor in an unexpected place, the main building bell tolled at times In the night and rival literary societies experienced cayenne pepper explosions. Hal lowe'en night found all attention centered on the girls dormitory where aome 75 girls were never allowed to sleep for a minute during that night. One incident might be interesting, in , which the teacher of psychology care fully planned and rehearsed with me a rather violent argument with which he desired to sur prise his class. It was staged the following day, but our act ing got out of control and beyond our plans, whea one of the members of. the class, believing the teacher was being unjustly accused . and grossly Insulted, In flicted a black eye on my person before I left the room through an open, window. The Stories about the fracas, that each excit ed member of the class was ask ed to write, varied much more widely than was anticipated. This illustrates the reason why attorneys always doubt identical testimony from witnesses, for we never see anything exactly alike, especially under the stress of ex citement. I i I o "Summer vacations were gen erally spent In Rhode Island, un til I became older, when vaca tions were occupied with bicycle racing at various county fairs and celebrations, and later on either.

I almost wish I'd nev er met Jack at least until he had got . hia divorce, but then someone else would have snapp ed him up . . -. Oh, If mama were only like other mothers, good at managing! Like Mrs. Craig. She has Just practically nailed Gil Neal for . May Belle. May Belle never has to do a thing but look innocent.

And In spite of herself Nancy brightened and preened a little . because her home-made white georgette was effective, and every paterfamil ias who passed found an excuse tor lingering to give her a sec ond-look. : ' Louise, who lacked Nancy's natural buoyancy ot aplrit, was denied even the consolation of dreams..

S V "For a year after graduation from the seminary, 1 floundered around in a complete quandary as to what I would do. I took a bookkeeping course and some drawing during that period. I had wanted to be a doctor, but all X knew of it was a country doctor's' hard life in those days, and I aaw considerable, as I near ly lived in a doctor friend's of flee.' Then I wanted to be a chemist, but a German friend as sured me that only a Teutonic mind could ever succeed In that field. .Such propaganda was common' until the war forced the U. S. into the chemical Industry. Finally an old friend ot the fam ily, who had been a civil engi neer who built the Illinois Cen tral railway from Chicago to New Orleans, convinced me that en gineering might give me an out let.
