Does Not Cost Over so Cents.
The gas company was forced to pro-
duce its books in court and a firm OF
expert gas accountants employed to
thoroughly examine the records Of the
company, an examination which con-
sumed six weeks of constant work.
From the disclosures revealed In the
books of the company and from the
testimony Of the company's own ex-
perts, it was proved that the actual
cost of manufacturing gas in Cedar
Rapids did not exceed so cents per
thousand cubic feet. Mr.. Good then
accepted the testimony Of the gas COM
pany's experts to the effect that the
life OF gas plant was approximately
twenty-eig and one-half years. He
allowed for sinking fund charge,
which, at per cent compounded In
terest, would completely replace the
plant at the end Of that time and al
lowed them 8 per cent annually upon
their own valuation Of the plant and
proved to the satisfaction Of the court
that gas could be produced and sold in
Cedar Rapids with these profits at a
fiat rate of 80 cents per thousand cubic
feet
Case Was Unique in Law.
Such thoroughness and exhaustive
research in the trial of a law suit has
seldom been witnessed, especially on
the part OF an attorney working for

1t is certain that glazes having the
composition Of good enamels were
manufactured at a very early date.
Excellent glazes are still preserved, and
some of the bricks which have been
found among the ruins of Babylon

eighth century b. c. The glaze on the
Babylonian bricks was found upon ex-

A FAULTY provision of the present
law governing the selection of national
delegates developed itself this spring.
1t is that provision that requires the
names of the delegates-at-large to be
arranged in alphabetical order, with no
mark or device to designate who or
what they are there for. In states or
districts where there is a contest for
delegates to support two or more can
didates for president, there should be
an arrangement Of the candidates for
delegates in groups, with the names of
the several presidential candidates
heading the several groups. 2

Young Fashionables Are Superficial.

Wealth and fashion are developing
young women Of a wholly superficial
nature ID
The American Beauty Of to-day must
seem rather tall; she must hold her head
high she must have a slight supereih-
Gus hft in her eyebrows; her mouth
must have the least suspicion of bore
dom at the corners, says THE DELlNEA-
TOR for May 9
Her voice must drawl bit, especially
at the end Of sentences. Above all, she
must have the air Of a princess, COM
pounded of repose, sublimated scorn
and detachment. Gone is the old defer
ence to the aged and sad, to the learned,
to patriots, soldiers and reformers. To-
day the American Beauty selfshly
reigns on the throne of youth and
splendid looks.
She must have not only lovely face
and graceful carriage and a musical
voice: she must have personality, charm,
presence, poise; she must have the cul-
tivation, discrimination and tact, if she
is to hold her own in her world.

an increase of SO over that OF
