Give Us a Fair
Rate of Return
is a good slogan for any industry. But it is a
very timely one right now for the electrical
industry.
Everyone wants good electrical service and every
one will get good electrical service, but they must
be shown that unless a central station or lighting
company is allowed to earn on a full and proper
value and not on a depreciated value that central
station or lighting company cannot continue to
serve in a proper and efficient manner.
Let every man who has a stake in the industry
take this faet to heart and convince his neighbors
and friends. . . Put your shoulder to the wheel and
then get every one to do likewise.

DO MOST WORK ON THURSDAY
Statistic Show That Brltlih Factory
Employees Are at Their Beet
About Midweek.
What Is the best workday in Amer
ica? In England It Is Thursday.
That is the finding of industrial re
search board Investigators of that
country. The London Chronicle reports
that over a period of twenty weeks
the output was registered aud
"graphs" were made.
The workers gave their best on
Wednesdays and Thursdays, but the
output on Saturday was Invariably
low. When doubled (to equalize time)
it is often less than 75 per cent of that
on other days.
Another important conclusion was
that the 'skilled workman is much
more regular In his output than the
worker not so well qualified, lie does
not get the "tired Saturday feeling"
so soon.
In some factories the output arises
until Friday, but among the less skilled
workmen it was found that Thurs
day was the best working day.
An Important consideration which
the Investigators kept In mind was
that of the atmospheric condition in
which work is done. Records of the
air conditions have been taken with
the output records.
In various plants the Saturday out
put was so low that employers found
It unprofitable to operate, so they
closed down. From this it would ap
pear that on a half day the worker
does not give the average of a half
day of production Richard Splllane

BOMBAY A CITY OF BEGGARS
Government Is Planning Severe Meaa.
lire to Repress Nuisance That Is
Becoming Intolerable.
Some time ago the governmenr of
Bombay appointed a committee to con
sider and formulate proposals for the
purpose of suggesting practical meas
ures whereby the ever-growing nuis
ance of professional beggary might be
abolished. The committee lias now
completed its investigation anil has
issued a report.
The report shows that there are in
Bombay city alone R,0(H1 professional
beggars, and the beggars In other
parts bring the total for the presi
dency to over 00,000. The general
conclusions of the committee are thnt
there must lie introduced at the earli
est opportunity an act for t lie preven
tion of professional beggary, which
will be applicable to the whole of the
presidency.
Sadhus and fakirs, It Is suggested,
should be exempt from the operations
of the act, which It Is proposed should
make begging a cognizable offense.
Those who have visited India will
doubtless recall with feelings of horror
the terrible sights they have witnessed
of beggars, many of them physical
wrecks and suffering from loathsome
diseases, seated about the roads so
liciting alms from passersby. From
the Times of India.
War Maps for Envelopes.
From the Red Cross Bulletin of the
Baltic states, published at Riga :
"The shortage of paper has resulted
In many novel makeshifts. One of
these Is the use of Germnn and Rus
sian official war maps as material for
envelopes.
"Large quantities of war maps of the
Russian, the German imperial army
and Bermont's western volunteer army
were captured by the Letts since their
Independence In November, 1918. They
were sold to private Interests, who
make many varieties of envelopes from
them. The paper Is of excellent qual
ity. "No attempt was made to remove
the map proper. The maps were sim
ply folded and cut to size and glued.
It Is very convenient to open a letter
and find that the Inside of the envelope
Is a map of the district of which the
letter treats."
Houses Few Leu Divorce.
France Is finding one comfort In the
housing shortage. Divorces are de
creasing In Paris and other French
cities "because of the lack of houses
and apartments."
t'nable to And suitable places In
which to live apart, disgruntled cou
ples in many places are composing
their (inferences and continuing to
live under the same roof. During the
first throe months of tills year, S.Ooii
decrees were pronounced in Paris
alone, hut since April the shortage of
houses has been making Itself felt,
with the result that the number of
divorce actions has been falling stead

plications fell below one thousand, and
this month It Is believed the number
will not reach the seven hundred mark.

Prehistoric Graveyard Unearthed.
A prehistoric graveyard believed to
be at least 2,000 years old has been
unearthed near Stargard West Prus

In one of the graves the excavators
found six black urns and one red urn

THE DIFFERENCE
tT SAW you coming up the street
A and standing at the gate with
Mr. Iloneybng and Mr. Playfair," said
Mrs. Jamesworthy. "All three of you
were laughing so the whole neighbor
hood could hear you. I wonder why
you do all the
laughing with
your friends, and
do nothing but
grumble and
scowl at home. I
haven't seen you
laugh In the house
In five years, as
you laughed out
there with those
men."
"There's noth
ing in this house
to laugh at," re
plied James
worthy. "Jlra
Honeybug is a good story-teller, and he
was telling us a bully yarn, and for
a brief season we forgot the burdens
Inld upon us, which are greater than
we can bear. If you could tell a story
as well as Honeybug does, I'd fill these
ancestral halls with silvery laughter,
but you never try to say anything
amusing, Mrs. Jamesworthy. You do
tell 6torles, but they are of a gloomy
and tragic character.
"Last night, when I came home, you
told a dramatic story to the effect that
you had callers all afternoon, and
hadn't a chance to cook anything for
me, and so I had to eat canned salmon
and soda crackers, and wash thera
down with water, and I Insist thnt
when a husband comes home from his
arduous labors in the clanging mart,
so empty thnt his watch chain makes a
clanking sound when it flaps against
his spine, he should have warm vic
tuals, something ho can consume with
pleasure and pride. The fact that you
had an invasion of callers Is a cheap
excuse.
"My sainted mother never would
have permitted any callers to Interfere
with her management of the cook'
6tove. She realized that her old man
kept the shebang going, and thnt he
should have the right of way. If any
old hens happened to be in the house
when grub time approached, my moth
er would request them, firmly hut re
spectfully, to chase themselves, and if
they didn't like it they could lump It.
When my father came home from his
work, the hay was always In the
manger for him, and he never had to
wait five minutes for a menl.
"The day before yesterday, when I
came staggering home, faint and
weary from my herculean efforts to
make both ends meet, you told me an
other story. It was to the effect that
you had been downtown sizing up a
shipment of new spring hats, Just re
ceived at the millinery foundry, and
you were so Interested you forgot the
lapse of time, and didn't get home In
time to cook anything. But you flashed
a winning smile at me, and said It
wouldn't take you ten minutes to warm
up a can of beans, and there was some
cold coffee left from breakfast, and you
had plenty of smoked herrings on
hand.
"Doubtless I should have burst forth
Into boisterous laughter over this en
tertaining anecdote, but somehow It
didn't appeal to my sense of humor.
I was so busy that day I hadn't time
to eat anything at noon, and all the
way home I was hoping you would
have a porterhouse steak about three
inches thick, and a raft of boiled po
tatoes, and perhaps a slab of mines
pie as an epilogue.
"The day before that, when I came
home as hollow as a bass drum, and
fairly gnashing my teeth with hun
ger, you related a humorous story to
the effect that your club didn't adjourn
en time that afternoon, and you didn't
get home until late, so I would have
to get along with a phked-up sni per.
If I would be patient a few minutes,
you said, to make the story seem more
spicy, you would boll an egg for me,
and there was cold corn bread In the
cupboard.
"Such stories, Mrs. Jamesworthy,
may seem highly amusing to an Inno
cent bystander, and I have no doubt
they would make a great hit If written
up and printed in London Punch, but
there Is something wrong with my
sense of humor, or I ain at the wrong
end of the stories. Anyhow, I can't
gurgle over them as I do over Honey
bug's yarns."

IN DRAPED EFFECT
Improvement on Ultra-Decollete
Dresses Is Manifest.
Dinner Gown Cling at Hem, While
They Are Full Over
the Hips.
It Is very Interesting, writes a Tarls
fashion correspondent, to note what
Worth Is doing with regard to eve
ning dresses tills season. This mal-
son has always been celebrated for its
gorgeous dinner gowns and toilettes
for ceremonious occasions. It is not
here thnt one looks for eccentric mod
els nor for sensational displays, but
Worth sets the styles for women of
refined taste, and so It Is necessary to
look closely at what he designs.
This season he is stowing very love
ly dinner gowns which have a draped
effect. Several of his best models
seem to cling at the hem while they
are full over the hips. In some cases
there is a dlstiuct train, cut in with
the dress Itself.
This is a welcome Innovation, and
one which likely will prove very popu
lar. For a long time past nearly all
our evening trains have been separate
from the dress arranged in scarf
fashion and often in twin-form one
at either side. Or we have had court
trains these chiefly for wedding
dresses. But It Is evident that Worth
intends to revive genuine trains, cut
with the dress and forming part of It.
Trains of this order are specially
suitable for matrons or for women of
full figure. The picturesque scarf
train Is also much In evidence, but it
will no longer be considered the only
possible.

extravagance of detail.
The corsage of this model Is worthy
of close attention; this Is the latest
tiling and It Is a great Improvement
upon the ultra-decollete dresses we
have had with us so long.
COMBINE DIAMONDS AND ONYX
Fashion Now Reflect Mode of Black
and Whit Which I Seen
In Dres.
The diamond Is generally chosen for
engagement rings because the legend
is that It strengthens the love of a
man for a woman. The fashion now Is
to ally It with onyx, reflecting the
mode of black and whim which Is
seen In dress. Since onyx Is supposed
to have a cooling effect on lovers, It Is
well to have lis Influence counteracted
by diamonds for those who are super
stitious in regard to Jewels. The
sparkle of the diamonds against the
black surface of the onyx Is striking
and this combination Is !''. in many
articles of Jewelry. A hnmlsoim

HAT SHOULD SUIT THE FACE
Woman Who Ha Passed Prime Know
There Is Certain Type She
Should Wear.
"The vintage of 11107," a teacher
said the other day hi referring to her
hat, which some one had been admir
ing for, having bought a good hat In
that far-off time, she has it renovated
and renewed every winter. One mer'H
that the hat possesses Is that It Ills
and sails her style, for it becomes
more and more dillieult for women
who have passed their first youth In
find hats Unit are "suited" to them. A
favorite milliner makes the same hat
over year after year and, while It nev
er loses its look of smartness, It is not
In the style. But the woman who has
passed her prime knows that there Is
a certain kind of hut that she must
wear. Mrs. Harding is said to have
adopted almost exclusively the trlcon
shape, which 1m a very good hat
for a woman of her age. One will find
that the best-dressed women are those
who wear huts that are becoming to
them and do not trouble, about Urn
latest fashion. The milliner who re
alizes this will not try (o persuade th?.
woman of middle age to wear any of
the "stylish" shapes. Can one con
ceive of anything more pathetic than
a woman of middle ago with a tam-o'-shanter
perched coquettlshly upon her
hair, unless It happens that the "tain"
Is the only style that is really becom
ing to her?
