CITY LIGHT PLANT
ADDS Az PATRONS
kleinknecht Reports a Re-
markable growth in Bust
ness Since January.

Since January 5, up to today, the
Richmond municipal plant has added
Az new patrons to it's extensive list,
Superintendent kleinkneoht announc-
ed today, and before the close of the
month expects to add more patrons.
I'm January We made 112 connec.
tions, IS in February, 104 in March
and so far this month, 1885," the plant
manager stated. THE number of con.
nectlons made so far this month has
broken all records for the plant and
do not expect it will be equaled again
At the present time we have ninety
per cent of the Main street business
Last year we had less than sixty per
cent OF this business"
Mr.. kleinknecht states that the
plant receipts for April will be about
$500, or an increase of $4,000 over
April, 1918.
of course the city is now paying
for its street and public building light
ing. but at the same time the CONNER
cial gate is 16 2-3 per cent lower than
1t wap in April last year, so it can be
seen what thriving business the
plany1s now doing" he stated.
Kleinknecht resents the assertion
made by some OF the representatives
of the Light, Heat and Power com
pany that the reports of increased
business made by municipal plant en-
ployes are founded on fiction, and he
says he can prove beyond a question
of a doubt that the city plant has add
ed 412 consumers to it's list this year
practically all Of them former patrons
of the Light, Heat and Power com
pany.

'TO MAKE CONDUITS

Edwin n. Campfield. the local ar
chitect, has secured patent on a new
air cell conduit that will afford ur-
derground protection for hot or cold
water pipes. The patent il called the
thermos conduit and works on the
principle Of the thermos vacuum bot
tie, retaining heat or cold as the case
may be.
Mr.. Campfield has received many
inquiries about his new conduit and
those that have seen the new method
think that 1t will prove great bene-
lit for the line of work intended. Sew

man for the purchase Of the idea but
Mr.. Campfield has decided to manu-
facture the product himself.
Owing to the fact that the clay nee

conduit cannot be secured around
here, the conduits will be manufac-
tured at Brazil Ind. where the clay

DRAFT TENTATIVE
WATER SCHEDULE

A tentative water rate schedule,
based on a 100000 valuation of the
Richmond Water Works company's
plant, and providing substantial re-
duction for all classes Of consumers,
was drafted at a meeting held yester-
day afternoon between city officials
and members of a committee of the
Commercial club.
Last evening another meeting was
held and the new schedule was tested
and in the opinion of most of the city
officials and Commercial club men,
bers worked satisfactorily. However,
another meeting will be held again to-
night and further tests will be made.
The 100000 valuation placed on the
plant is slightly higher than the valu-
alton given by the city at the recent
hearing before the state public SER
vice commission, and considerably
lower than the plant valuation claim
ed by the company.
Opinions Differ.
One or two Commercial club men
who attended the meetings, asserted
that while the schedule drafted on a
basis of 100000 valuation might be
perfect, it would be of no value in
the event higher or lower valuation
was fixed by the commission.
They asserted that no satisfactory
valuation could be determined until
the commission had definitely fixed
the plant valuation and announced
whether the company was entitled to
five, six or seven per cent interest on
its plant valuation.
Others who attended the conference,
including City Attorney Bond, con-
tended that if the tentative schedule
fixed for 100000 valuation worked
out satisfactorily and assured the
company the required amount of rev.
enue, that it could be automatically
increased or lowered to meet condi-
tons under any valuation the commits
sion established for the plant This
assertion is denied by one or two
Commercial club men.
At the meeting this evening it is
probable some definite action will be
taken in regard to preparing tenta'
tive rate schedule for submission by
the city to the state commission.

IDEAL BEACH HATS.

| A WE'LL MADE raffia hat resembles
panama if plated finely, or it
| may be as coarse and rustic one
desires. 1t is as suitable for chill
dren's wear as for g'rown-ups. 1t will
! stand hard wear and can be washed.
| Rain and sun do no damage to this
material. 1t may be bought both in
| plain and in colorS. Any of the home
| dyes suitable for cottons can be used
for dyeing raffia. Boil only three min
| utes and add one cup of glycerin to
| each quart of dye, and it will come
out much softer. Excellent results
| may be obtained with bottle of red
! or green ink, diluted or full strength
| Water in which beet root has been
| boiled gives a beautiful pink, spinach
| water an attractive green. while a
cup Of raspberrieS or blackberrieS
boiled for half an hour in pint OF
| water will furnish an excellent dye
| Tea and coffee will make shades OF
tan. and black will give a good mole
| color
| The necessary materials consist of
six ounces of raffia and medium sized
| raffia needle. All the sewing must be
done with strands of raffia. For very
| fine hats press the finished plat with
a heavy but not too hot iron over a
damp cloth If a rustic-looking plat
is desired. do not press at all.
| Begin the hat at the top of the
icroWn; make d small circle. and sew
the plait edge to edge with darning
stitch. Shape the hat as you go along.
| and when the top of the crown is large
enough sew the plait so that it grad
ually slopes into the shape of bowl
when the required size. turn the edge
of the plat outward and oversew for
one round. This starts the brim, and
row after row is sewn on until the
brim is the required width. Any shape
may be copied after little practice.
| These hats may be trimmed with
| woven band of raffia and buckle of
| raffia. they may be swathed in soft
| silk or a wreath or cluster of flowers
| added. Such a hat could be very quick
| ly made. and has the advantages of
| being very durable, light in weight
and with the right combination of col
ors very pretty indeed.

DREsSY PARASOLS.

THE butterfly parasol is in curious
! oblong shape, somewhat narrower
at one end than at the other with a
quaint treillage of narrow black velvet
introduced on either side. The mate
white shadow lace, with the trails of
narrow black velvet running up the back
and front, finishing with bow and tiny
wreath of small pink roses.
The dome-shaped crown of another
parasol is entirely covered with opales-
cent sequins. outlined to the edge of the
parasol by frill upon frill of tulle in two
or three delicate shades wrapped over
one another to effect an opal tint. 1t Is
finished with a long white handle mount
ed with crystal
new parasol that is bent slightly
down at one side and curved up at the
other is made of white silk, finished
around the edge with a box-pleated frill
of white tulle, while there Is placed on
one side huge bow of blue satin ribbon.
and close to the edge of the parasol is
a half wreath OF soft pink full-blown
roses. When the parasol is closed the
effect Of this wreath Is just as if the
parasol were being used as receptacle
for roses.
A wonderful scheme of coloring is
achieved by a yelling of ruffled pale leaf
green tulle, yelling pink tulle mounted
on a foundation of pink silk. A trail Of
leaves tipped with pink is placed up one
section of the parasol. at the summit of
which there is perched, close to the fer
rule. a small green bird, as though ready
to fly.
! A new tilted parasol. which enables the
owner to defy the sun from any point
| while the handle is held upright, has a
| foundation of white silk, over which
| there is drawn a yelling of black tulle
| embroidered in gold thread and pastel
silks. forming charming decoration.
| Dainty French silk parasols are COW
cred with tulle and trimmed with lace
and tulle butterflies in black. white or
black and colors. Charming black silk
parasols are swathed in tulle and trim
med with pink roses. Dainty white gros-
grain silk parasols have BLACK borders,
| and trimmed with black lace. White silk
parasols are also trimmed with black
lace motifs, with lace and chiffon at the

THE VOGUE OF THE CAPE

only to have been added for the purpose
of preventing the cape from slipping from
the shoulders.
A cape Of dark navy blue serge for
practical wear may be lined with bright
color, such as rose or orange colored
satin. It has a series of little circular
capes about the shoulder also lined with
the bright color.
Even suits show Eton coats with the
back section in an odd little cape arrange
ment, the sides of which are lost in the
kimono sleeves. These little coats sare
particularly well adapted to the spring
and summer season on account of the
airy. light effect which they give.
In addition to various kinds of capes
there are cape wraps with short sleeves.
A large number of cape coats are sleeve
less Other cape coats have sleeves SINH

coats are made with the cape effect in
the back. but with the regulation coat eff

the hood collar standing away from the
neck. the draped kimono. the modified
Medici or the Gladstone collar can be used
on these garments.
The distinguishing feature of the dressy
capes is the lining. which naturally shows
to good advantage.
