LOWER RATES AND BETTER
SERVICE IS DEMANDED
City Commissioner Will be Asked to
Have Reasonable Rates
Established.

There has been for a long time,
severe criticism by consumers. Of the
eAhorbitant rates charged by the
Cairo Electric and Traction Company
and the Cairo City Gas Company for
the ahomnible service being fur
nished.
The rates Of both companies are
arbitrary rates and are so regulated
that the average consumer Of elec-
tricity can not have the benefit of
anything like the minimum rae. In
the charges for electricity rates are
so fixed, that charge is made for
every socket In the consumers house
and on top OF this cones the charge
for the Juice" that has been sllp-
piled through the meter 1t matters
not whether there is lamp in the
socket the arbitrary charge is made.
The charge is made, so II is claimed,
that In case all of the sockets sho Id
be turned on at the same time the
plant would be able to carry the
load. Yet II this did occur their
equipment is not capable of taking
care of it and still the consumers
must pay FOR this.
Cairo people must be dead cay"
TO permit such an arbitrary rate to
be forced upon them, when they
have recourse to the city council and
to the public utilities commission Of
the state 1t is In the power Of tire
city government to control rates for
electricity and gas as we'll as of
water
A few years ago the city council
revised the rates charged by the
Water Company. IT the City
Council fixed the rates for
the use of water why cannot the
same body get busy and reduce the
electric and the gas rates to rca-
sonable and equitable figure.
Where Is there a city where con.
sumers pay 80 much for gas as in
Cairo? If there is another city In
the country that is charged the $3.50
per Thousand rate which is charged
here, IT is because the administrat on
has not gotten onto tie trail OF the
gas company or the people have 1etn
hoodwinked as they seem to have
been In Cairo. by the declaration
that has frequently been made that
the people were helpless and just
had to stand for it.
The quality of gas furnished Is no'
in comparison to the rate charged.
During the summer months wher
many consumers are cooking with
gas, the cry has gone out that the
Fervice was such that it WAS inpos-
sible TO cook with it, especially at
the evening neal.

THE Reconnaissance. By Gordon

This is, first Of all, an excellent story
with an interesting plot, but to the
reader who lie concerned with matters
Of technique It is also a striking ex-
ample Of we'll balanced construction.
Hence the double meaning of the title.
The man has enlisted in a British
South African Mounted Police Corps.
His upbringing has in no way prepared
him for the life. He has never handled
a rife, he has never ridden a horse.
self-reliance has never been taught him.
The weld is a trackless wilderness TO
him, whose lonely immensely frightens
him And so, in a moment Of crisis, he
funks the less dangerous part. and,
driven by his very terror performs a
greater feat Of heroism that rightly
sends his name ringing through the
press and brings him the Victoria Cross.
The exploit is the reconnaissance"
which brings him face 70 face with his
"a yet Uniformed, unframed real self.
The woman, as ignorant of the life
upon which she enters, has made her

these two meet. The major value Of
the story lies, however, in its search
ing study OF a young soldiers moral
and physical courage. and IN the ex-
ceptional nature OF the test that will
ultimately turn a self-doubting recruit
into a rcsolute veteran. A book that
stands apart from the usual run OF

A SWEDISH PICTURE.

LIILECRONAS HOME. A Novel. BY
Selma Lagerldf. From the Swedish by
Anna Barwell Emo, pp. 26s. e. T..
Dutton & Co.
Selma Lagerl5f is the optimist OF
Scandinavia. The bleak winters OF that
Northern cline do not depress her
characters; the Morse fog Of pessimism
does not enfold them. They are lovable
coura geous, cheerful; and even the VII
lains are not set apart too FAR from
our common human nature. Lille
crona's Home" Is Ike a folktale; 1t has
all the charm OF the old, old stories,
from which, indeed, It's young heroine
borrows to tell the story OF her own
unhappiness. Here are Cinderella
from real life and a wicked stepmother;
q weak, ailing father and a romantic
knight coming from mysterious places.
The delight OF the book. beyond its
simple plot and character drawing, lies
most OF all in its mastery pictures OF
the real Swedish life away in the real
Swedish country, far from the cities, In
a farming community with its heredi-
tary line Of pastors wives. II Is little
gem OF local color and atmosphere and
the being OK a race. And its browning
merit lies in this that it Is as under
standable, as revealing 10 the alien
reader as 10 the nation for which It
was originally written.

KATYA. A Romance Of Russia. BY
Franz do lessen. l2mo, pp. 4o7. Bos-
ton: John w. Luce 81 Co.
This Danish novel Of Russian life has
received the weighty approval Of
George Brandes. Certain 1t Is that its
local color, its atmosphere, and its
presentations OF the Slav temperament
seem to be as thoroughly Russian as
those found in the works OF the Rus
sian novelists themselves. The canvas
is broad, for il includes the patriarchal
national life on a princely estate in
Ukraine, a Russian Consulate in AL
bania, which ends in a murder and in
ternationaI complications; glimpses OF
the imperial embassy at Paris, retro
spects OF the Siberia OF the eighteen
hfties and its official corruption, and
the real estate 'boom" at Odessa before
the Manchurian war; and il ends with
that amazing page of an amazing his
tory. the mutiny OF the Black Sea fleet.
In this last episode, indeed. the Slav
soul is shown in one OF its most unac-
countabIe moods, for il Is not pa
triotism nor love Of freedom but de-

A PULLING BOOK.

WORLDS END. BY AmeHe Rives
princess TroubetZkOy). With Illus
trations by AlonZo himbaN. 12mo. pp.
As The Frederick A. Stokes Company.
This. as has already been widely an
nounced, is Miss Rivess first long
novel. II win therefore not be amiss,
at the outset Of this review, to say that
It is a thoroughly capable piece OF
work. well proportioned. and but rarely
betraying preoccupaton with the mere
matter OF length, although here and
there. in essential episodes, great
er breviry would not have harmed II.
This, however, BY the way as matter
Of no particular Importance. what IS
to the point is that the plot originates
in the characters Of the drdmGttS per-
soma. and that thereafter the inter
action Of both is developed with unde-
waiting directness. No hand that pulls
the strings is perceptible in these
pages. But it is a puzzling book, none
theless, in the completely Of the char
acter Of the hero. He is a caveman
ruled by idealism-a character, one
thinks. with which women will perhaps
syrnpathize, but which, one is sure. will
cause considerable perplexity TO men.
II is not pleasant situation in which
Miss Rives places him and the heroine
and a third-his nephew-both before
and after marriage, but 1t would be far
more unpleasant still were ii not for
the authors discreet use Of delayed ex-
plantations. She gives US the great
shock in retrospect, and thereby softens
it. Still. to the average normal person
there is something decidedly abnormal.
even repellent, in this case Of chivalry
and devotion raised to an incredible de-
gree OF tolerance.
The plot must be left TO the reader;
an attempt at a mere outline would be
confusing, since even that, as has just
been said. would necessitate at least
partial analysis Of the characters. The
scene is mostly laid on an old Virginia
estate-"worlo's End"-but is shifted
for while 10 New York and Europe.
The mixtures OF the old Southern LIE
are. Of course, capitally done; there is
color in the English episode. and
number OF minor personages are re-
rnaryxa bly, well touched in-the ola VIZ

woman whom the hero might have
married and did not (they are al
cousins, OF course); and. above oil. the
mother Of the decadent artist, torn be-
tween her love for him and her clear
knowledge Of his despicable moral
quality. beset by hatred Of the woman
who robs Ter whelp OF his inheritance,
risking an unbeatable breach in her de-
sire for at least verbal revenge. yet
with it all never FORGETTING our sym
patty, for. after all. she Is no harder
nor more embittered than n penniless
woman OF the world. struggling for her
unworthy own despoiled az the last
moment, has a pitiable right 10 be.
And then-again true TO the puzzlins
character she has created-the author
brings about a happy ending. The
story il likely 10 be widely talked
about.
