The Practical Way OF Mastering H
Profession.
Domestic science as a special branch
for teachers IS as yet In Its infancy.
and cannot inform you of any College
or Of any university Offering scholar
ships for the entire course. There are
loan funds and small scholarships in
seyeral colleges with domestic science
courses which VIII help you to COM
plete your studies II your funds fail
and you show that you are peculiarly
adapted to the work: also in many OF
the larger cities domestic science and
domestic arts are included In the free
night school courses OF the public
schools and nre taught In the night
clnsses of the Young Women's Chris
tian association.
But the woman who has met with
reyerses and has no funds at her com
mand had best adopt more practical
means of establishing herself by her
knowledge of domestic science and
household economics.
Through the influence of patronesses
and the right persons on boards OF di-
rectors she can perhaps secure an
opening as matron or assistant matron
or housekeeper of small charity in

Here again the personality or deter

than her natural ability as a house
wife plays an important part.
If you are brave enough to put your
pride in your pocket and enter the

If you are willing to perform the men

GONE OUT OF BUSINESS.
Millions Sunk In Unsuccessful muniei-

Millions Sunk In Unsuccessful mun'et-
pal Lighting Plants.
During the past few years at least
sixty cities and towns In the United
States have sold, leased or abandoned
their lighting plants. In few cases
they still retain their distributing sys-
tenn, buying the current from some
company, but In most Instances they
have gone out of the business entirely.
A number of other places have made
unsuccessful efforts to dispose of their
AS with few exceptions municipal
lighting plants have been in operation
but n short time, this is remarkable
showing of failure and one. 1t need
hardly be said, that IS sedulously avoid
ed by those who for ends of their own
are urging other cities to make similar
experiments.
as it usually takes some years for
n city to realize how great burden
it is carrying in It's lighting plant, it
is probable that the number of admit
ted failures will Increase rapidly from
now on. for. as an eminent electrical
engineer recently said, There are al
ready Indications that a considerable
number of these municipalities which
have engaged In improper undertake
ings are entering upon period Of
financial difficulty"

EsuIts Enouah as IL Is.

The political machine that dominates
New York city IS strong because large
powers are delegated to 1t. and the ex-
nendIture of 100000, 600 is given alb
solutely into Its keeping. We have
faults enough without municipal own
ershlp In most of the cities OF this
country, and the ordinary business
man falls to see tile wisdom of making
the situation more complex and dubi-
Gus than it is by adding the problem
of municipal Ownership with all that 1t
implies. -Blnghamton Herald.

II rIGicK -ElGohlell "a
the PrsHt siee,
The printed report Of municipal
electric light plant In Indiana has Just
been received. 1t shows profit There
IS no question about it 1t shows a
large profit. The figures are there In
black and white. and they show a
profit equivalent to 30 per cent OF the
gross income and 10 per cent on the
capital invested That Is what we call
a profitable business.
How was this plant able to make 50
good a showing2 In way so simple
that any municipal plant could adopt
IL with success II it's superintendent
were good at figures And the best OF
It is that 1t makes competition by pri-
vate plants impossible because-well.
stockholders are too inquisidve.
In the first place the fixed charges
for interest on the capital invested and
for depreciation were entirely ignored
Then no allowance was made for taxes
lost by having municipal instead OF
private ownership. Next. while fun
charge was made against the water de
partment and the city Offices for lights
and supplies. the superintendent con
venIently forgot to charge the lighting
plant with the water used In its boil
ers and condensers or with its share OF
the salaries In the city accounting de-
partment. Insurance was also over
looked. Finally, to make nS-'rrance of
nroft doubly sure, a numbs OF items
properly pertaining to maintenance
were charged to new construction"
At the same time the charge for street
and public building lights was quite as
high rs In surrounding cities served
by private companies. which had some
how or other to provide for all these
omitted items.
It is perhaps needless to add that ex-
cept for the tudlcious way In which the
superintendent prepared his report n
considerable deficit would have appear
ed Instead of the gratifying profits OF /
course the taxpayers will have to pro |
vide the money to make good these pa |
per profits, but they may not for some |
wears see the connection between their
profitable plant and the higher tax
rate, and meanwhile are happy In the
contemplation OF its profits and VIII
doubtless testify enthusiastically to the
benefits of municipal ownership.
From the above we may deduce the
following rule for showing n profit:
First, omit all items of expense that
can without too much danger OF de-
lection be saddled upon the general
tax list or other departments: second
charge in rs vague a way as possible
to new construction as many items OF
maintenance rs may be necessary to
show a large profit On B.-The profit
must be large to provide for the con-
tineency of some carpIng critic discov-
ering one or more of the concealed
items of expense and ruthlessly draw
ing them forth from their hiding
nlnces)
If the above rule IS scrupulously FOL
lowed there seems to be no reason
why every municipal plant should nor
show Notwithstanding Municipal
Ownership"

YOM K|PPUR IS
OBSERVED At
SYNAGOGUES

The celebration OF Yom Kippur by the
Jewish people began at sunset last night.
and will continue until sundown this eve
ming. The services mark the closing OF
the period of penitence. which began with
the celebration of Rosh Hashonah OF New
Years day. Today is the tenth day OF
the month OF Tishri, according to the
Jewish calendar.
Prayer services were held i'm all the 10
synagogues last evening: and in some sec
tions IL was necessary TO hire halls to ac-
commodate the big congregations.
At the Sons OF Zion synagogue on Orms
street. Rabbi T.. Rubenstein lectured from
$50 To 1880 and referred 10 the Providence
Hebrew public school on Orms street.
urging all Jews 10 send their children
there i'm order that they may grow up
with knowledge OF the Jewish religion.
The orthodox Jews neither eat nor drink
nor do any kind OF work today. They
were at the synagogues at $3.50 this morn
ing and entered upon an all-day service.
IL is the Judaic custom during this ser
vice to remove their shoes and many car
ry a small piece OF carpet To the syna-
gogue to stand on.
One OF the features OF the ceremonies
is the kneeling. This Is done on only two
days OF the year, New Years and Yom
kippur. on New Years the kneelng
comes only once. but today the kneelns,
ceremony gone through with Ave
times. In this ceremony the members
OF the congregation on their knees and
supporting themselves with their hands
bow their heads almost 10 the floor. The
men wear white robes called Tales, dur
ing the services.
At sunset this evening, a shofar. an an
cient musical instrument OF the Jews, will
be blown as the signal that the prayer
services has been completed.
