WAYS OF BERLIN WOMEN.
At the Cafe in the Morning and the
Club in the Afternoon.

Il believe that the typical German
hausfrau Is a myth" said New York
woman who returned the other day
from years residence in Germany
II don't see how the average German
woman finds any time to be a haus-
frau. | sometimes wondered when the
German woman found time to do any
thing at home.
II spent eight months in Berlin with
my daughter, who was studying music
From eleven To twelve in the morning
the cafes were packed with German
women. who so out to take their Sec
ond breakfast i'm the public restaur-
ants, thing unknown in America.
"They take along their sewing or
embroidery and sit an hour or two
over their cup of coffee or glass of
beer. At the concerts, too, they take
their work and spend hours day after
day listening TO the music. You eau
spend an afternoon listening to beau
tiful music, a magnificent orchestra
with fine vocal artists for sixteen
cents. That is an illustration of the
things that help to exile Americans
AT three in the afternoon again
you will see the cafes crowded with
German women taking their afternoon
tea. | think American women are
more domestic than German, because
| never heard of American women who
left their homes in the evening to
pass the time at the club. A German
friend took me one evening TO the
German Women's club. The club has

had never before seen a room filled
with elegantly gowned, cultivated
women all smoking. These were the
wealthy society women of Berlin, III

They were cosmopolitan in their
dress ana manners and did not present
any striking points OF difference from
he American woman except in the
smoking. II made the occurrence If

they are places for social enjoymen.

der the service for perhaps 80 per cent
less than IL purchased.
Since apparently a municipal plant
would not pay now, but might i'm the
future, Il may be well to be prepared
to install such a plant when It can
be shown TO be profitable.
The acqulrinr OF an advantageous
site for a municipal plant = the only
argument for early action in the mat
ter that can see.
Mr.. Hoods Conclusion.
MY opinion Is that municipal
plant would not supply satisfactory
service at a less cost than at present
nor Is such plant warranted until
the demand is three or four times tho

Total yearly expense ......$23,500
'lf we bought this service the cost

Expense Per Year.

Total expense per year ..$ $500
1T thus appears that we would prob
ably be paying fully one-third more
than We are now paying for the same
service, that without interest. deprc-
citation or repairs the running expense
would be about equal to the present
cost.
We are now paying about $1,000
per year for electric service. If we
should purchase 30 more arcs the to-
tai yearly expense would be s9.3iO
while with n municipal plant the ex-
pense would be about $11, 900.
"This shows that for the size of
business we have at present or are
likely TO have in the near future it
would be extremely difficult to cheap
en- the cost Of service from a plant de-
voted only to municipal use.
"The natural risks of the business
might add a serious burden at any
time and there would be no profits 10

Question Two.
What kind of service could we ex-
poet from a municipal plant the year.
ly expense Of which was approx
tmately equal to what we pay now?
THE investment as figured above
would have to be reduced and the cost
of labor reduced. This plan has been
tried and has been the cause of repeat
cd failures Of small plants.
I'VE could say then that the service
would be poor. liable to long shut
downs and in the end expensive"
Question Three.
Would the present possession of a
plant put the village in
more advantageous position to supply
the future needs of the village?
THE trouble with the present con-
dition is that while the service de-
manded OF the plant is exacting. It is
too small to show a profit although a
large labor and investment account
'f necessary to insure continuity of
service. The same organization nee
essary to insure continued good serv-
ice could about as easily care for
demand five times as large. To supply
ave times the present needs would re-
qulre an Investment of about $500 900

g'nes and about $4,000 in transmits

some Of the main portions OF the re-
port as submitted by Mr.. Hood.
Whether the municipal plant will
pay or not depends upon the cost OF
the service. the character OF the serv-
ice and the possibility of reduced ex-
pense in the future as the place grows,
Compared with present conditions 2
successful municipal plant must show
a decided superiority i'm atsleast one
OF these items and be not inferior in
the other two.
Three questions may be asked
which win cover the subject and the
answers form the reason for the opin-
ion as rendered in the conclusion.
Question One.
what would be the probable cost
OF running a municipal plant rem
dering a 24-hour service equal to that
now purchased by the village?
The cost can be grouped under the
general heads OF labor supplies and
fixed charges. To insure continuity
OF service the smallest organization
would require five men.
"a depreciation of per cent per
year Is probably too small for such an
equipment hut allowing per cent de-
probation and per cent interest on
the Investment. the tabulated items
would appear as follows:
