 That tension is controlled by a aadch5ne as sensitive as the eye, and infinitely more precise than the handwork of the most skilled Operative could make it.

PROGRESSIVE REDUCTION

"It is equivalent to a business man agreeing to progressively reduce, as the volume of his business increases, the price of his merchandise to his customers 1T per cent before he shall be allowed to earn an added profit for himself from the conduct and enlargement of his business This constitutes compelling guarantee that the company will fix an attractive rate schedule for industrial consumption and push the sale of gas so as at the earliest possible moment to reach the soc net maximum for gas in order that the company may itself participate to some extent in the prosperity which should be incident to the enlargement of it's business. Until that time is reached, the entire benefit of the increasing busi- ness and of all economies resulting there from will go exclusively to our con sumers.
 "An per cent return on the new money will represent no profit to the stockholders of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company, since by req son of the policy of encouraging compe- tition and the lack of cooperative help fitness on the part of the city govern ment toward the Birmingham Railway. Light and Power company its credit has been so adversely affected that the ac- tual cost to it of, money in recent years has been substantially that figure. Nat urally, the company will be taxed on such increased investments.

 "Of course you and the public appre- ciate that this company has a contract fixing the maximum price of gas which does not expire until 1921. Any reduction in price. therefore, which the company may make, would be voluntary. and for the purpose of continuing on the one hand, public good will, and of demon stra ting to its customers a willingness to reduce the cost of gas to them when ever and as far as the volume of business enjoyed by the company wit pernft fa suggesting the aforegoi aitial r1aS l- mum of roc for by-produ gxss the com-

SUBMITS COUNTER OFFER
 TO CITY FOR USE OF
 BY-PRODUCT GAS
tcontinucd from Page FIve)

tContfnucd from Page Ffye) repeat that what our suggestion means Is this:
 "First-We will immediately upon be- ginning the distribution of by-product gas establish net maximum rate of FOG per M cubic feet, and bear the burden of the loss in net revenues to this company incident to such reduction, which we es- innate will begin at the rate of $66, GOO per annum. This loss. under our proposition, we canont recoup, if ever, until after the net maximum rate of 5Oc per M shall have become effective.
 'Second-When the consumption of gas at such reduced rates has so increased as to produce a net annual gas revenue equal to the aggregate of
 "(a) The present annual net gas reve- nue of the company
 "(b) Eight per cent per annum on &C., tual new moneys invested in the gas de- partment hereafter, and
 '(c) An amount equal to one-half of the decrease in revenues which would have resulted to the company during the preceding F months had the net maxi mum been Sc per M cubic feet less. then a reduction in the net maximum, price of Dc per NJ cubic feet will be made
 Third-As soon as the increased con sumption of gas at such lower maximum rates shall have produced result like unto that set forth in paragraph ?, a sec ond cut of Sc per M will be made and this process of progressive reduction shall be continued until the ultimate net ma aximum of 50c per M cubic feet is reached.
 Compared with it's present revenues. the company will thus bear more than one-half of the loss resulting from each successive reduction and the effect of the offer will be that this company cannot increase it's net earnings in it's gas de- partment beyond it's present net plus 8 per cent on new moneys invested in it's gas department until after the net maximum price of gas in the city of Bir- mingham has been reduced to soc per M c,Ihic feet

The French and German forces fight ing to the northwest of Verdun appar- ently, for the moment, at least, are dead locked, the Germans being unable to advance further and French attempts to expel the invaders from captured po- sitons being unavaillng. To the east and northeast of Verdun, where violent in- fantry attacks and bombardments have characterized the recent fighting, only intermittent cannonading Is now going on.
 The only infantry engagement reported anywhere along the French front was launched by the Germans against French trench to the west of Hill BOA, northwest of Verdun. The French, how ever, brought into play their curtain of fire and the Germans were unable to debouch.
 The smelling by the Germans of the Russians at the 1kskull bridgehead on the eastern battle line, which has been in progress for many days, still con- tinues. There has been artillery activ- ity on various other sectors of the Rus sian front, but no infantry maneuyers of importance have been reported
 The Russians in Armenia have put down with heavy casualties a stubborn attack, and southeastward, in the region of Mush, driven the Ottoman forces from their defences in mountain chain. In
 
 the accident occurred is not known. but it was discovered this morning about s O clock by a Mr. Martini. who reported same and Deputy Coroner Arthur Jacobs was immediately called to go to the scene. It appears that the car was owned by the negro and he was driving and it has been stated that there were two women and one man in the car when it was last seen. What became of the other occu- pants of the car is not known. Remains were taken in charge by Davenport &a Harris Undertaking company of Bir- mingham.
 Rufus A. Ingram, 5S years of age, died last night at 10:30 oclock at the Feeders hospital, following an operation.

He was a member of the local order of Independent Order of Odd Fellows and the Woodmen of the World. Funeral services were held this afternoon at i o'clock from the late residence the services being conducted by the Rev. George Stoves, pastor of the First Methodist church, and the Rev. Mir. Waites. The body was shipped this afternoon over the Louisville and Nash vile railroad to Oneonta, by Huey & Mc- Cornell, where interment will be made this afternoon with the Odd Fellows and Woodmen of the World in charge.

OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN
Il GIRL AND 4 MAN
A New and Vital Romance of City Life
by Virginia Terhune Van de Water

He was too young for his name to
be linked with hers in a serious way
for some time to come. Nobody should
say that she was encouraging him
when he was not in a position to be-
come engaged to any girl.
All of these thoughts had passed
through her mind during the instant
in which she waited for Mr.. Hale to
make a memorandum of some item he
wished to remember before turning
toward her, and she wondered again,
as she had done many tunes within the
past twenty-four hours, just how much
Mr.. Hale knew of Phil's liking for her,
and If such knowledge would make
any difference in his treatment of her.
AS soon as he greeted her, however,
she was aware that If his son had told
him anything of her, 1t was very little.
She felt a sensation of relief, and yet
in the back of her brain was the con.
sciousness that one reason Philip had
not talked of her to his father might
would not approve of any intimacy be-
tween his son and such poor and
obscure girl as herself.
Then she told herself swiftly that
she was doing Phil an injustice. He
had appreciated her desire to avoid
gossip, and he cared too much for her
to listen to any criticisms his father
might pass upon her. Yes, the boy
was right in waiting until he was in a
position of independence before dis
cussing the girl whom he admired.
Work at Once
You are Miss Morley2" William
Hale was saying. You probably know
what your duties here will be. 1

the letter Agnes had brought, and
which lay open now on his desk. that
you will be equal to my requirements
if what Mr.. Timnlins, the manager
of the school. says of you is true. as it
THANK you. I will do my best"
the girl said.
AS the man regarded her steadily, as
if reading her character from her ap-
pearance, she saw how much his eyes,
deep-set and gray, were like his sons.
But she must not lie. herself think of
this.
MAY I begin work at once?" she
asked in a busincsslike manner.
Yes he replied.
Then he drew his brows together in
a little frown of perpleXity, as if
searching for some elusive recollec-
ton.

Possibly" she answered, flushing.
my aunt and attend the same
church as you"
"Ah!" he said indifferently. THAT
accounts for the impression I had that
Your face was not unfamiliar. I have
probably seen you in passing in or out
of church.
And now, If you please, we will
begin work as soon as you have laid
off your hat and coat. You may put
them outside in the closet that Tom
will show YOU. Come right back
and get to work. I have some letters
would like you to take at once
