Supposo your lover had boon sont

Seo how tho loyalty .of ono girls sav
ed tho man sho loved from worse
than death sco It In "llllnd Man's
Eyes," at tho Liberty Theatro to
day, starring llort Lytoll.
Under tho title, "A Squnro Deal tor
Public Utilities" Collier's In Us Issuo
of March 12 says: "Thero Is an ex
planation, somowhero, of tho lack of
good will bo shown by tho nvorago
community toward tho public-utility
company that serves It with light,
heat, and power. Ono reason, we
think, has never been fully stated: If
the power and light companies were
owned and controlled by ono or two
men, nnd namod after people, as tho
majority of our big enterprises are.
we would be apt to haro a raoro'
friendly feeling toward thorn."
Collier's feels that tho human cle
ment falls to entor Into tho public
utility business to a sufficient extent.
Tho customers of tho utility fall to
seo or meet Its managers and stock
holders and they do not meet them
as they do tho proprietors of other
largo Industries In tho community.
For tho samo reason employes of
many of tho utility companlos fall to
havo a personal Interest and reflect
their attitude In their dealings with
tho public. On tho other band, In our
heading westorn cities wo often find
tho managers and directors of our
great public utility enterprises, aro
among our most public-spirited citi
zens. They take a hand In orcry com
munity activity and lead in public
welfare, civic, commercial, and indus
trial activity, giving unsparingly rot
meir umo ior mo puuuc guuu.
Collier's article states that accord
ing to figures prepared by tho Cham
ber of Commcrco of tho United States
"It will require $852,500,000 prop
erly to equip tho 1,250,000 'houses
and apartments walch this country
now needs, with heat, light, tran
sportation and telcphono facilities.
This monoy must como from tho big
and littlo pools of peoples' savings,
and those pools will yield Investment
money only wbon tempted by securi
ties which guarantee a fair roturn.
"Ono of New York's nowspopors
has latoly been printing letters from
tho chairmen of publlc-serrlco com1
missions of different states which
tend to show that tho outlook for
publlo-utlllty securitlca Is on the
mend,, that public-utility problems
aro gradually being taken out of pol
itics, and tbat a bettor public attl
tudo toward public-utility enterprises
Is bolng doveloped. Dut hasto is bet
ing made slowly.
"America must movo forward, and
tho apeod and comfort with which sho
moves will depend in a largo raeas
uro upon her ability to produce, at'
low costs, beat, power, and light. Let
each community give soma thought
to its public-utility situation, to the
end that we may more quickly glvo
a squaro deal, not only to the hand
that lights the gas stovo or turns on
the electric switch, but to tho Invest
ment pocketbook which furnishes tho
capital as well."

FIGIITIXG FIRE HAZARD
"Safeguarding America Against
Fire" is a monthly publication issued
by tho National Hoard of Fire Under
writers and it is a pity It cannot reach
tho hands of every person In this
country.
Dy illustration and text this littlo
magazlno shows In a graphic manner
tho terriblo loss caused by careless
ness with firo.
In tho March Issuo is shown the
Laboratories' Plant in Chicago. It Is
tho beat, oxamplo In America of Fire
Roslstlvo Construction for largo
buildings. In this plant scientific
tests aro mado on ovorything tbat
will burn, crack, crumble or bo des
troyed by heat. When the laboratory
has" finally tosted and passed on an
article it Issues lables to the manu
facturer, which are pasted on the
article showing its flro resisting and
safety qualities.
Thus are fire hazards and Insur
ance costs being gradually reduced.

WASHINGTON. April 13, Al
though tho ronort of J. W. Itoborts,
superintendent of tho 8an Francisco
division of tho offlco of tho mipoi
vising nrchltoct of tho treasury do-
partraont, who recently visited Port
land for tho purposo of making nn In
vestlitatlon Into tho nood of addition
al building accommodations for tho
federal courts nnd tho branch posr-
offlie. has not yet been mado put)
lie. Assistant 8ocrctnry of tho Troas
ury J. II. Moylo has written to Kopro
sentntlvo McArthur and suggostod
that Concrcss either authorize tho
construction of an addition to tho
old postofflco building or tho sale of
nroiiortv upon which tho building Is
located nnd tho purchaso of othor
proporty and tho orectlon thoroon of
a sultablo building for tbo courts and
growing business of tho up-town
branch ttostofflco.
Mr. Moylo's lottor rathor Indicates
that tho department favors tho latter
courso, provided tho purchaso prico
of other property and tho now build
ing will not exceed tho salo prlco of
tho property upon which tho old post
offlco Is now located. Mr. Moylo
makes no recommendation ns to tho
suggestion that tbo old poitbfflco
property bo turned over to tho city of
Portland for public park purposes,
but ItonresentaMvo McArthur Is op
posed to tho donation of this land by
tho federal government, bollevlng
that cltlos nnd "other municipalities
should pay for government property
which Is desired for local purposes
Tho full text of Mr. Moylo's Icttor
to Roprosentntlvo McArthur Is as fol
lews:
More Room Needed
"Referring to our rccont corre
spondence In regard to tho building
In Portland. Or., now bolng usod by

as now consirucico, in -iw "i i"i

offlco station occupies a pornua ui
tho first floor. It appears 'hat this
station Is n vory important ono nnd
Its malntennnco practically in Its pro

"Tho roport abovo referred to
would Indlcato that a now sito could

of tho present ono nnd a building
croctod thoroon to accommodate tho

tho postal sorvlco In this section at
a cost not cxcoodlng tho proceeds of

Ing.'If this courso should bo adopted
It Is probab'lo that a now building
would afford moro convenient facili
ties for tho transaction of tho pub
lic business than would result from
the romodollng of the present court
houso, otc.
"As to tho suggestion of tho mityor.
roforred to In your letter of March
19, that tho present slto bo trnps'er
rod to tho city of Portland to l.e used
as a park, this department would pro
for to mako no comment, such action
bolng a mattor of public policy."
In connection with tho proposod
changes nt Portland, Representative
McArthur today gavo-out tho follow
Ing statement;
Donation Opposed
"I am undecided as to whethor I
shall favor tho construction of an an

office, I shall not decldo this mattor
until I confer with tho officials of the
treasury department and tho Oregon

"I am not avertfe in having a park
