Boit on' Fir$t Name
The, mime of the original settlement
of lloslori iiiude In August, 1030, was
"Trlmnuiiliilne." This name was given
because of the three peuks of the muni
prominent hill, Inter toiled "lleacon
lllll." The name "Uoston" was formal
ly given the colony In 175Z This
inline was derived from the English
town of Huston, the linine of some ot
the leaders of the colony. The Indian
culled the settlement "Hhawniut."

''Electric Power Industry

Says The Philadelphia Public Ledger: j:
"The electric ccrrpaniea are applying Htnry Ford's theory ; ;
of quantyty production aud low prices, for they are sharing with ; ;
the consumers the bcnef.fs of every reduction In the cost of gen- '
I J erating current. The price has
year since the beginning." j
THE CHINESE refer to a Golden Age that was. Other peo- j
pie look forwatd to one that Is to be. But the signs are not lack-; ;
ing that right now we are living in the nearest approach to such : !
an age the world hat ever known.
"To give is to get" is the gospel of this new era, and in the ; ;
pr. mulgation of this doctrine the privately owned electric and ; ',
X pjvver companies have been among the first to take the lead. ?

t duced. Notwithstanding the increased cost of labor and materi : j
X als, the cost of electrical service has steadily declined since, 1S11
t This has been made possible by far-seeing managraent, and ; ;
