LOS ANGELES, Aug. pa
veil, II worn by one who under
stands its possibilities, is really
one OF the most coquettish adj
juncts of girls wardrobe.
A veil can be worn so that 1t
makes the wearer look wee bit
"flirty."
It can be draped so that she
looks as demure as saint.
All this veil wisdom comes
from Miss Elizabeth Crist of
Lynchburg, Va, who is said to
have a veil for every occasion and
style of attire.

CUT I'm
RATES
HALTED

Plans of city officials to cut
electric light rates to large con-
sumers, in order to induce office
buildings and large stores to aban-
don their private lighting and
heating plants, were given a jar
today when Mayor Fawcett an
nounced that he would Oppose the
scheme.
John j. Mcdonald, head of the
organization of steam engineers
in Tacoma, also put obstacles in
the path of the well-made plan to
make sweeping reductions in
rates, by declaring that he could
prove the city was being made
catspaw to pull business out of
the fire for the Central Heating
Co.
Put Over for Week.
The rate-cutting ordinance, in
stead of passing today, as had
been anticipated, was set over for
another week. Mcdonald was
permitted to appear before the
council next Monday morning,
with other opponents of the
scheme, and explain the objec-
lions.
Mayor Fawcett threw the first
bombshell by declaring that he
believed an attempt was being
made to tie up the city light plant
SO that it would be at the mercy
of Stone e Webster.
He also declared he did not
favor reduced rates to stores and
business houses when the average
consumers of Tacoma were con-
tinuing to pay the same electric
rate they had paid for past
years.

Collins Reply

B. w. Collins, superintendent
of the city lighting department,
answers in the negative-and en-
phatically-The Times editorial
query of yesterday regarding a
niger in the woodpile.
There is no colored gent, he
says, in the municipal proposal to
take over a large amount of new
lighting business in the down.
town district.
In fact, according to Collins,
the move is going to be a great
thing for the municipal plant.
City Will Profit.
In the first place." said he to-
day, 1--WE will make money on this
new business. Our margin of
profit will not be large, but there
will be a margin worth having.
Practically all the new load
will be daytime lighting, and off
our peak hours.

price in order to land the bust

Just under figure at which the
small power plants in the various
downtown buildings can operate.
1t would seem silly If we, with
our big, fine Nisqually plant,
would not produce electricity
cheaper than they. We can, and
will.
Another Reason, Too.
But there is another import
ant reason why the city should
get that business.
"If the building owners shut
down their plants they will want
to buy heat from the central
heating company, and that will
insure the erection here of its
100000 plant at once.
when that plant is in, the city
is assured of the use of 1t for
auxiliary purposes at the abso-
Lutte cost of the steam.
