Once when the late Lord Richie was
president of the local government
board he was very anxious to hurry a

Hair Hiqh In the Air.

Women's hair used to be dressed to
an amazing height in days OF old
Formerly doorways had to be height
ened to accommodate the eighteenth
century woman of fashion. Marie
Antoinette's hairdresser had to mount
a stool in order to get above his work
Women of that time had to kneel In
their coaches to get their head cover
ing inside or drive with their heads
ont of window. Nine. de Genlis was
caught by her hair while Fastening TO
greet Voltaire at Ferney, but escaped
Absalom's fate, her hair remaining on
the bough. And the Duchesse de
Chartres had room on her hair one
evening for a miniature inan-of-war In
full sail, on another for a representa-
ton of her little son, Louis Philippe
sleeping in the lap Of his nurse.

Washington, November B. The rates

ON a reasonable return upon such money

Of their pr perty. asserted Max Thelan
today in an address before the National
Association of Railway Commissioners.
Mr.. Thelan, who is a member Of the i
ifOrnia Railroad CommiSsiJ II, declared
that the use of the present value or
reproduction value" theories as Il basis
for determining rates was wrong. Point
ing out that the courts had not yet def
initely established a basis up5n which
public utility rates are to be calculated.
Mr.. Thelan proposed that the basis upon
which public utility rates are to be cal
culated, should be fixed on Fundamental
basis should be fixed on Fundamental
principles a relationship of principal
and agent between the public and the pub

1T seems clear he said. that public
utilities are entitled to a reasonable re.
turn upon such Money as they honestly
and wisely expend for the public, but that
they should not be allowed a return on
the increased value of the property used
in the agency. If the agent has expended
money dishonesty or has expended it in
judiciously he is not entitled to a return
therein.
ION the other hand. if he has actel
wisely and honestly and it thereafter be-
comes possible to acquire more cheaply
property which he has purchased in the
agency, or TO secure at q lesser expense la
Dor or material used therein. the agent
should not be compelled t. suffer the loss,
but should be entitled to Il return of the

him in pursuance of the agency.
