M. S. Sloan, president of the Brooklyn Edison Company and chairman of the public relations section of the National Electric Light Association, says that the danger which the electric industry faces in common with all other American business is the possibility of outrunning the public understanding. "The public must be given the opportunity to understand the intricate workings of business and the goals to which business men look. "The electric light and power industry has made remarkable progress in the last 10 years. The developments in our industry which were considered startling 10 years ago are today nearly forgotten because of revolutionary changes. "在1924年output of our companies exceeded fifty billion kilowatt-hours and more than $1,000,000,000 of new capital was raised from investing public for additions and expansions. That is more money than the steam railroads raised in 1924." With all that progress, Mr. Sloan invited attention to the fact that the cost of current has decreased 8.6 per cent since 1913, although other items in the family budget showed an average increase of 70 per cent over pre-war prices. "The fact that per capita use of Gives Special Abdominal Support Wonderlift Girdle A cleverly concealed abdominal support is an important feature in this new, light-weight Wonderlift.

"The fact that per capita use of electricity has greatly increased and that approximately 2,000,000 new customers were attached to lines of our companies during 1924 is best evidence that cost of electricity is reasonable and within the reach of everyone." Reports from Berlin are to the effect that the ex-kaiser will contribute $250,000 to Von Hinderburg's campaign fund. Wouldn't this be plea for a Senate investigating committee? Lord Balfour was spirited out of Damascus recently to avoid an Arabian mob. Next time he goes down there he had better take Doug. Fairbanks' magic carpet of Bagdad with him. Europe is gradually getting back to the gold standard again. Can't Bill Bryan do something about this like he did with evolution? Commercial reports are to the effect that drygoods are better than in 1924. But the experts who are still living tell us that wet goods are getting worse all the time. They say jazz music can't live much longer. It's just a question of whether we or the jazz can hold out the longer. Lois Rebekah elected delegation to be h May-12.

Mr. Hartfield came to Anaheim 20 years ago and opened a jewelry store in one corner of a butcher shop. He prospered in part because the city grew, and in part because he deserved to succeed. He has outlived many competitors and has gradually built up a substantial business. One of the reasons of his success was the well-known fact that his guarantee on an article was positive proof that it was worth the price. Mr. Hartfield has just inaugurated the greatest sale ever known to the people of Anaheim. He is celebrating his twentieth birthday anniversary, and is offering $100,000 worth of jewelry at prices never before heard of here. Precious stones of every description are marked down to such a figure that hundreds of people will now be able to wear diamonds who never before could afford them. Hartfield is not quitting business, but as he has accumulated a mammoth stock of jewelry in the course of his career, he has decided to reduce the stock and give the people of Anaheim an opportunity to purchase the highest grade of jewelry at lower prices than they ever dreamed of.

Longfellow, life saving expert and assistant national director of life saving service, American National Red Cross.

THE WAY IT WORKS One of the best illustrations of how the American tariff protects American workmen has just been witnessed at Salem, Ore. For many years a linen mill has been operated at Toronto, Canada. The owner of that mill, in selling his goods in the United States, had to meet a tariff of some 30 per cent. What has been the result? The Canadian linen manufacturer is establishing a $640,000 linen mill in Salem. The tariff encouraged the Oregon farmer to grow flax and it also encouraged the linen manufacturer to establish a factory in this country to supply the American market. The same condition applies with regard to sugar beets and beet sugar manufacture. In each instance the farmer and the laboring man are the chief beneficiaries of a reasonable tariff system which tends to protect them from cheap labor and long-hour competition from abroad. That recent conference of Methodists in which they endorsed—the unification of the northern and southern branches of their church ought to be a good object lesson to the Democrats and Republicans.
