REGULATE LIGHT COMPANIES
More Than Half of States Now Have
Commissions Empowered to Con-
troll Public Service Corporations.

Uncle Sam has found that electric
light and power companies are now
subject to regulation by state commits
sions in more than half of the states
of the Union and by municipal ordi-
nance in a number of cities in states
not having commission regulation. The
supplying of electric service to the
public is largely monopoly, and reg
ulation on behalf OF the public is gener-
ally considered necessary and econom-
ically advantageous.
Owing to the very rapid development
and constant changes in methods and
apparatus, it has heretofore been diff
ficult to fix standards for electric serv-
ice for general adoption. Developments
IRE, of course. still going on. but the
methods of electrical distribution and
measurement in common use, and the
criteria of good service generally ac-
copied have become so largely stand
ardized by practice that it is now
possible to formulate standards of
service that will be generally accept
able.
The popular movement for the regu-
lation of public utility corporations
has spread rapidly since 1907, and at
present there are corporation commits
sions, public service commissions or
railroad commissions in every state
save two. In til states of Arizona,
Connecticut, Illinois. Indiana, Missou-
ri, Montana, New York, New Jersey,
New Hampshire, Nevada, Pennsylva-
MIA, Oregon, Washington. West Virgil
mia and Wisconsin and the District of
Columbia orders and rules for the reg
ulation of electrical corporations have
been issued by the commissions. Sim
liar rules are under consideration in
several other states. while a few COM
missions have so far issued only GER
tain recommendations.

AS the result Of a protest of Sena-

Rotary of War N. ID. Baker has re-
scinded his action of a week ago in
discharging from the naval service
tve Scandinavians employed as mine
layers" with the Pacific fleet and to-
day ordered their reinstatement In

son wrote Secretary of War Baker pro-
testing against the discharge of ''men
of long and faithful service whose
integrity and patriotism were unim-
peachable, but who were not native
born citizens of the United States"
The war secretary replied; Il have
issued instructions that the distinc-
ton as to foreign or native born
should not be made but the greatest
care should be exercised to secure
trustworthy persons for this service
and only citizens should be employed"
The five Scandinavians reinstated in
the navy have been in the mine laying
service for more than five years and
are citizens of the United States.

STAFF AFTER REAL MONEY
Temptation Was More Than Any
Newspaper Men Could Be Elk
pected to Resist.

A visitor to a small country town in
England unwittingly "held up the To-
cal newspaper. Having lost his dog,
an animal that he priced very much,
he rushed to the newspaper office and
handed in an advertisement Offering
$50 reward for the return of his pet.
Half an hour later he thought he
would add to his advertisement the
words, mo questions asked" So he
hurried to the Office again.
When he got there the place was
empty save for small boy, who looked
very sulky.
"Where's the staff?" asked the tour
list, CHANGING round the deserted room.
"Out looking for your dog" replied
the boy, who was evidently aggrieved
at being left behind.-YOuth's Com

that they will last longer than three
weeks, which has been the average life
OF the old army shoes in MeXico.' The
war department has ordered 100000
shoes of this type and a large number

The new shoes are similar to those
now used by the allies in Europe, al
though they were first used by the
Turkish armies There are several
distinguishing features 10 the new
shoe. For one thing it is hob-nailed
while all the shoes formerly in use in
the army were smooth. Another I'M

smooth surface to the foot and dis
penses with a lining. which has been
responsible for most of the sore feet
in the army. The flesh side of the
leather being on the outside gives the

it undesirable for garrison duty or

FARMERS MAKE NEEDLE OIL
New England AgrieuIturists Have Vir.
tuaI Monopoly on One Industry in
the United States.

If your mind wanders off. while you
are having your shoes BACKED, to the
cool, deep woods, where the spruce and
hemlock needles pad the ground,
there's a reason. Shoe backing has
peculiar aroma tic odor, due to an oil
which is manufactured from these
same kind of needles, says Uncle Sam.
Similar oils are obtained from the foli-
age and small twigs Of various. cone
bearing trees and are used for a num-
Der of purposes. In Europe the fer of
these oils are used extensively as per-
fume in soap.
The production of these oils is an
industry, which, while small, is fairly
old in the United States. The value
of the annual production of needle oil
is about $4,000. Black and white
spruce and eastern hemlock produce
very similar oils, 10000 to 10000
pounds annually, worth - to go cents
per pound. Red cedar produces $4,000
to 10000 pounds of Oil having the same
value per pound as the spruce and
hemlock oil. A few other species fur
nish the rest of the conifer-leaf oil pro-
duced in the United States. Besides
the home product, small quantities of
needle oil are imported from Europe.
One of these. silver-fir oil, brings four
dollars a pound. In most cases these
ol,s have q pleasant odor. A few are
disagreeable when first distilled, but
become pleasant with age.
The greater portion Of the oil pro-
duccd in the United States is distilled
by small farmers in New England dur
ing the winter months when farm work
is slack.
