OF ELECTRIC CONCERNS
Preparedness Is the Main Object of
100000 ORGANIZATION.

In line with the industrial mobilization
of the United States, the electrical in
dustry Is making thorough and syste-
matte preparations for cementing into
one cooperative organization the electric
lighting companies in every State. city
and town in the country.
Already approximately 80 per cent of the
electrical industry representing an in
vestment of $4,000, ,oo0, 900 is Included in
the membership, and an effort is now
being made to enlist the interest of the
other 10 per cent, chiefly electric light
and power companies in the smaller
cities. Walter Neumuller, chairman of
the committee in charge Of this work, is
now going through the country and will
visit this city in the near future.
One of the main objects of the Ma
tional Electric Light Association which
this organization is known as, Is to main
tain the very latest and most dependa-
BILE data as to the electrical resources
and developments in the United States
which will be used for the benefit of the
country in the event Of a crisis.
Such eminent scientists as Thomas A.
Edison and DR.. Charles P. Steinmetz are
among the more than 1900 members. H.

Pastors Demand Patriotism
And Lights on Capitol Dome
Rev. D. M. Martin, In Sermon,
Declares Great Temples of
Nation Are Too Little
Appreciated.

Three hundred and sixty-five days of
the year our Capitol Building should be
lighted up. the dome shining forth in the
night typifying the bright light Of a
Christian nation, said Rev. D. NJ. Martin,
pastor Of the Dumbarton NJ. z. Church.
in his sermon last night Just as the
spirit OF God lights up a mans soul. l"
said the pastor, the lighted dome OF the
Capitol lights up the heart OF a Chris
tian nation. The dome of our Capitol
compares favorably with the dome Of st.
Peters, in Rome, and should be fittingly
lighted.
I'VE are daily in the midst of great
temples built by the hand Of man, and
little do we appreciate them. And little
do We appreciate the temple of our souls,
Of our lives, our bodies. Whatever we
put in them shows. II we build right on
a good foundation, the building will be
right. II we are careless with our hfe's
structure II shows; we cannot hide II.
Honesty, kindness and Goodness go to
make up structure that will stand up
under the storms of life.
without them We build on sand. The
structure may look all right from the
outside. but will not stand the inspection
of your conscience, or the inspection OF
the Creator. when the time comes for
salvation or condemnation. The spirit
Of Christ must be the foundation Of all
permanent structures OF all nations. II
we lack 1t we must expect to see our
work collapse.
THE body is the handiwork OF God. He
who abuses It must suffer. God gave US
the foundation with which to build our
lives. Let US put nothing into II, nor let
others put anything into It, that will
render it unfit for the abiding place Of
God.
''If we do not keen oIIr hodias apd our
minds clean and free from unholy things,
how can we expect to build right We
must keep out the dross, for God will
have none of IT,"

CONSTANTINE'S SALARY
NOT PAID BY ALLIES

In an official statement the Greek Le-
CATION here last night denied widely
published stories that King Constantine.
Of Greece, receives part OF his salary
from France and England" The Greek
Charge d'Affaires, charging the report to
Teutonic sources, declared that IT grew
out of the remuneration by France and
England Of payments due them on Greek
debts, which payments were resigned In
favor Of the late King George, OF Greece,
as a personal perquisite.
''Since the death Of King George" said
the statement, and the advent to the
throne Of King Constantine, the latter
has received nothing OF this sum, which
had been expressly stated to be personal
to his father"

Looks Like Love Note,
But It's Only "News"

The National woman's Suffrage
Association has adopted a brand
new wrinkle to keep their publicity
and propaganda letters from going
In the waste basket unopened.
They use private correspondence
envelopes. and then dress them UP
until they look like a cross be-
tween love letter and a valentine.
The envelope is addressed not
with a cold typewriter. but in a
nice. slanting. interesting-looking
feminine hand. and a final senti-
mental touch is added by sealing
the flap with a big red heart.
AS already stated. the contents
are plain typewriter stories of the
doings of the suffrag gists and ap-
peals for votes.
But it wouldn't be safe for a
married man to take one of those
envelopes home.

WHY CATS HAVE TAILS
"A Survival of the Necessary Organ of
Aquatic Ancestors.

The question having arisen. why
does the cat have tail?" the scieu-
lists seem willing to answer II with
another question, How would the cat
look without tail?" No one ca,.
galnsay the fact that the tail is a
valuable ornament. The cat without
one Is sorry sight But there are
those who maintain that the tail
serves the cat as sort of gyroscope.
balancing the body in leaping, says
the Popular Science Monthly. This
cannot he wholly true. for Manx cats
get along very well without tails. an.
rabbits have no use for them at all.
Yet both the Manx cats and rabbits
do n lot of leaping. After all 1t looks
as If the tail is only an ornament,
unless 1t is a kind OF safety valve for
expression in exciting times
Of course there are Instances where
the tail serves some purpose ornci
than that of art. The monkey finds
his useful as sort of fifth leg; tiiu
horse uses his as a fly-swatter as
does the lion; the crocodile uses his
for scwimming. as do the seal and
the turtle and other aquatic creatures.
and the rattlesnake uses his for warn
ing enemies. According to w. d.
Mathews of the American Museum d.
natural history, the tail was a neces-
sary organ of the aquatic and am
phibious ancestors from which enc
higher animals are descended. When
they took to terrestrial life and to
walking on all fours. the tail became
more or less superfuous.

AGED PARENTS WANT A
SON TO FIGHT KAISER
Return Unsigned Papers Testi-
flying That They Were
Dependents.

Jerry Haynes, n 76-year-old pat
riot down in Texas, doesn't want any
slackers In his family. He has writ
ten. n letter to his son, John Haynes
of Clearview Okfuskee county, telling
him to go to the front and do his
duty and that he and the young mans
mother will try to get along some
way.
Young Haynes, who il %, asked for
exemption from the army on the
ground that he was the chief support
of his aged paretns. And the papers
in his case showed that his claim was
true, in part. He sent them $lbo
last year.
But his father thot he ought to
answer his countrys call and when
John sent him papers to sign asking
for his exemption, the aged father re-
turned them unsigned, with the fol-
lowing letter enclosed:
blossom, Texas, August 8, 1917.
my dear son:
I'VE are glad to hear from you but
regret you have taken the step you
have taken, so / am forced to tell you
to go right ahead like man and do
your part for the country.
True enough. you have given our
ages Just right, but your mother and
| feel that your service Is needed, so
dear son, just give us what your sal
airy will allow us and trust In the
Lord Be man for your country's
sake and hero for the Lords sake.
True enough, we are old and decrepit,
but you go ahead and fight for your
country"
And John decided to go. He ap-
pended the letter to his other papers
filed with the appeal board and wrote
on the back:
"Since my father and mother say
for me TO go / will go II you say So"
The appeal board said so and John
was certified to take his place in his
country's war service.
