"OUI OF IDE STORM"

"Out of the Storm" la the latest Em

It Is adopted from the famous novel
'.The Tower of Ivory."
When Margaret was discharged from
the factory It never occurred to her
that there may be other chances In life
but the one she had was always brush
ing against the hard things In life and
she left bruised by the contact The
humiliation of her discharge from the
factory left her despairing and sick at
heart. She wandered through the
streetB until she found herself standing
on the bank of the river. The quiet
soothing lapping of the water seemed
to entice her. The endless current ever
flowing swiftly down to the sea fascin
ated the sad eyed girl and she saw In
its depths release from the eternal
prosecution of life.
Margaret hesitated for a moment
and in that short period, fate made
her decision, and sent her messenger
In the person of Teddy Shale to save
Margaret from her meditated death.
Teddy offered her a solution of her
troubles.
In the murky, uncertain atmospnere
of a Barbory Coast dive, Margaret
danced and sang each night to a hall
full of sea-doga, and men hardened to
the finer things of life, and lulled her
motley audience Into a worshipful si
lence with her sweet musical voice.
Her fame aa a singer spread, and the
wealthy Albert Levering heard of her
and came, one night to hear her per
fnrmance. He saw a wonderful future
for the girl with such a wonderful
ois,-, if piunf-ily develop.'!.

by the public utility companies of tbo country to
provide service for an additional million inhabitants
is one of the interesting facts brought forth in tht
recently published report of Senator William M. Calder's Com
mittee on Reconstruction and Production.
After a searching inquiry into the various conditions bear
ing upon the housing situation and the country's industrial pro
duction, the Committee finds that the busiaess of public utilities
has outgrown their plant facilities owing to the inability of the
companies to finance improvements and additions necessary to
take care of increased service demands.
"Prior to the war," states the Committee, "it is estimated
that the normal annual requirements of elecric railway, gas, and
electric light and power companies for extensions, betterments,
and improvements was about $500,000,000, proportioned as
follows: electric railways, $250,000,000; gas companies, $125,
000,000; electric light and power companies, $125,000,000.
The Committee has informed that for four years not over
40 per cent of such betterments has been made, leaving an ac
cumulation of about $ 1 ,200,000,000. If to this sum is added the
$700,000,000 required alone for service to new residential
buildings held in abeyance, a total of approximately $2,000,000,
000 seems necessary for the public utility program in the im
mediate future.
"The question of placing these businesses on a sound finan
cial basis in order that credit may flow to them is the same ques
tion which confronts steam railroads and housing, but in the
case of public utilities the situation is more difficult because
there is no central body as now provided in the case of steam
tailroads which might adjust rates in proper relation to operat
ing costs and capital investment. The utilities likewise suffer
in their effort to secure new capital for necessary extensions of
service by the almost insurmountable difficulty of having to com
pete for such capital with municipal, state and similar tax
exempt securities. Until these problems are solved the public
should recognize this underlying reason for much of the faulty
service and for the failure to provide the additional facilities
urgently demanded to meet community needs." paid adv.
