Are you producing your
power as cheaply as you
can buy it from the Central
Station? This is a question
which the Manufacturer may
well consider-it concerns his shop costs,
his profits. A very large proportion Of
Detroits manufacturing industries are
using central station power with great
advantage-probably you also could do so.
We suggest that you let us assist you in
making thorough analysis of your oper-
ating conditions and thus enable you def
nitey to answer the above question.
Our engineers are at your service. No
charge or obligation will be incurred.

DsiJv Stock Letter.

NEW YORK, April 25.-The New
York Evening Sun financial review
today said: Speculative sentiment
was cheerfully disposed of by Wall
street again today and in the absence
of unfavorable overnight develop
ments the stock market continued the
recovery which set in yesterday. Short
covering and active professional buy
ing were responsible for a sharp up
turn at the opening, and first prices
ruled fraction to two points or so
higher, the extreme advance being
recorded in mercantile marine, pre-
ferred United States Steel was IA
vorably affected by estimates of very
large earnings, which it was said Will
be disclosed at the quarterly meeting
this afternoon, and also by the dis
cussion of an extra dividend disburse-
ment. The activity and strength OF
the market leader had favorable
effect upon the general list.
But the outstanding feature OF the
initial trading was mercantile marine
which responded to the mystery sur
rounding recent buying by burst Of
activity which favorably affected
both the common and preferred
stocks The upturn in this quarter
influenced active covering operations
in issues like Crucible Steel Baldwin
Locomotive, American Locomotive,
Westinghouse, Electric, Studebaker,
and Industrial Alcohol, which moved
up from point and a half to six
points or so. Later in the session
distillers' securities was taken In
hand and advanced rapidly on what
appeared to be the operations OF the
old pool. Copper stocks and rail
way issues were strong specialties
but moved in more orderly manner
While the aspect of affairs with
Germany and Mexico appeared to be
better, the speculative element took
a great deal for granted in respect to
both matters.

First Demonstration.

WASHINGTON. April 25.-The first
demonstration of congressional atti-
tude on the present German-American
situation occurred in the house today
when great applause greeted Republi-
can Leader Mann's statement that he
is opposed to breaking off diplomatic
relations with any country at this
time.
Mann was debating the army bill
and arguing for a standing force of
100000 men ito be prepared for any
international emergency that mag
come out Of the European war" He
insisted on separate vote by the
house on the new army,s size.
Debate was precipitated by report
ing OF a special rule rejecting senate
amendments to provide an army of
100000 and national volunteer force
and ordering the bill sent to con-
ference.
Il am against this country going to
war. except under extreme circum-
stances" Mann declared. when
peace comes, we may want to reduce
the army and 1 would favor such a
move

TO HOLD PAPERS
AND Won IGEL ALSO
attorney General Recommends That
the German Secretary be
Kept in CUSTODY.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Attorney
General Gregory in his recommends.
tlon 10 the state department not to
turn over to Germany the papers
taken from Wolf Won Igel, included
strong recommendation against re.
tease OF Won Papen's secretary, it
became known today.
Ihat the offenses attributed to Won
lgel, were committed before any
steps were taken to attach him to the
embassy, and that he was entirely
w1thin the range of the criminal
statutes, was understood to be the
basis for the recommendation.
Even more than the return of the
papers, officials are said to be op-
posed to Won Igel's release. THY
are known to regard him as absolute
ly guilty.
II the papers are returned to Count
Won Bernstorff, Won IgePs prcsccu-
ton will be crippled and probably
stopped, 1t is said. Their return
would be an admission that he is
now an attache. Also the papers
taken from him are important in con-
nection with his activities. If they
are returned. even though the know
ledge of their contents may be used
IN other ways by the authorities in
watching German propagandists, they
could not be introduced as evidence
in the court. The Photographic copies
at New York would be valuable only
as information"
With. Count Won Bernstorff on his
wav to Washington from New York
today, the department of justice was
awaiting word from the state depart
ment as to the disposition of the
papers.
The situation remained the same
the department of justice wants to
keep them and the state department
was said to be anxious to have Won
Bernstorff select those he wants.
Reports today added to the know
ledge that has leaked out concerning
the nature of the papers. There was
basis for rumors that they contain
ed German-Japanese propaganda, it
was believed, because of statements
by Won Igel's Office mates at New
York the day Of his arrest that Ger
tain newspaper articles written
about Japan for German circulation,
were not to be taken seriously.

Real SpirltuaI Selves.

Rev. George R Dodson: Most of
us reach our faitn by deepening in
sight, by an increasing sense of the
worth of the human personality, and
by more and more vivid awareness
of a moral and spiritual order in
which we find our places as we live
for truth. duty and love. AS natural
beings, our first view is that reality
is physical and the spiritual life by
product. AS time goes on, however,
we feel that the deepest reality in
us is spiritual and there comes the
faith and hope that when the physi-
cal has served it's purpose as scaffold-
ing, it can be taken down, while all
that is of worth, all that we admire
and love in each other, shall endure.
Satan, hell and eternal punish
ment now are placed in the same
category as fairies and genii and are
no longer taken seriously.
"If we are to live after death, such
a life Will be for all, for Robert In
gersol1 as well as the bishop.
The net result of all religion,
philosophy and thought up to date
is the sublime faith that we are now
the children of God. While what we
shall be is not apparent, we are
serene in the trust that the future
life must be richer than our deepest
experiences or our fondest dreams.

THREE SPRING MAIDS.

THREE SPRING MAIDS.
A girls a girl, It's good to know,
And every one seems glad it's SO,
For every year, with tricks galore
She wins our praises more and more.
Though clothes perhaps don't make
the man,
They enter nicely in the plan
OF making woman doubly sweet
Just watch the next sprtng-maid you
meet.
Her head-gear, Fashions call of
spring,
Is truly quite wondrous thing;
Her gown and shoes, the latest styles,
Bewitching, even as her smiles.
And Fashion, with it's artful FRANKS,
Keeps mother in the self-same ranks;
Turns forty back to twenty-four
And makes Of her a maid once more.
Her walking-suit, glad array
Of lines diagonalling every way;
It's bell shaped skirt, a true delight,
OF c-iss-cross colors, new and bright.
Her boots, knee-high, are snugly
laced
Embodiments of style and taste;
Their saffron hue or grey or bronze.
In keeping with the garb she dons.
But wait bit-wf1o's this we see?
Here's some one else, well goodness
me!
It's grandma in her new spring toys.
Just like the girls in catalogues.
Yes, grandma bless her gay young
heart,
rast-mistress of the comeback art,
Her gown the smartest and the best
Her boots as girlish as the rest
Her chic spring hat is all those
shades
Becoming both to danes and maids,
With buds OF pink and leaves of
green,
And what-nots sprinkled in between.
Here's three spring maids, just count
'em, three,
Not only good, but good to see
A maid-her ma, and grandma, too,
And who knows which is which? Do
you?

PITTSBURGH, Pa. April Is

In the small but nevertheless impor-
tant plants of all kinds in Pittsburgh
and the Turtle creek valley, hundreds
of men were reported to have gone
on strike since midnight.
Two regiments of the national
guard and ten troops of cavalry were
under orders here this afternoon to
be ready for duty on an hours
notice.
The reason for the virtual mobili-
cation of troops was not definitely
made known, but it was learned they
were to be prepared to meet possible
eventualities In the Westinghouse
strike zone.
The order came from Adjutant Gen
eral Stewart at Harrisburg, to the
commanders here.
