One of the big reasons why the cost
of supplying electrical service to the
public is not lower is due to the fact
that something like one half of the
entire physical equipments general
ing capacity is required for actual ser
vice only about one tenth of the time.
In other words, one half of the actu-
al investment would be ample for 80
per cent of the time it is used. The
reason for this is, of course, the fact
that electric light is demanded at
certain hours of the night only, and
the electrical power demand is not
enough during the day time to force
this ratio upwards.

ASHING G T o. N, Feb. 10.-The
spring political millinery season was
on in full blast today. Hats were be-
ing thrown into and yanked from the
presidential ring with June fervor.
The white house, Oyster Bay and
the supreme court chamber were the
gossip centers today, politicians buzz
ing over developments affecting Presi-
dent Wilson, Colonel Roosevelt and
Justice Hughes.
Publication Of Justice Hughes last
letter declaring he is totally op-
posed to the use of his name in con-
nection with the nomination or in
struction of republican delegates,
brought the justice into the lime light,
possibly for the last time, unless his
name is suddenly sprung at the con-
vention.
Publication also was imminent TO-
day Of letter by President Wilson
allowing use of his name in the Ohio
primaries as candidate for renomi-
nation.

chiefly to provide another back-from-

that he is lining up Hughes delegates

eral Frank Fl. Hitchcock's interests
came in for close scrutiny. Letters
published today by Representative
Slemp of Virginia, indicated to politi-
clans that Hitchcock is interesting
himself in presidential politics, al
though the IDENTITY of his candidate is
not conclusively established.
