that If its employees hear music at
frequent intervals while they work

Working upon this theory there
have been installed throughout the

the day.
The records are selected with care.

Upon these figures the earnings for

LIGHT PLANT HEAD
MAKES DEMAND N FOR
DEPRECIATION FUND

With Superintendent Kleinknecht OF
the Municipal Electric plant completes
the plants report for 1916 it will show
that 1t enjoyed the most profitable
year. of its history. The exact earn
ings OF the plant last year have not
been determined. Figures already
compiled, however. indicate that oper
ating expenses only amounted to for
ty per cent OF the plants revenue.
Kleinknecht said today that he was
prepared again to request the board OF
public works to authorize the estab
lishment of a depreciation fund.
For the past. three years Klein
knecht. in compiling the annual re-
ports Of the plant. has made de.
probation charge Of three per cent. OF
the physical valuation of the property
for the purpose accurately OF determin'
ing what the legitimate earnings OF
the plant were, but. as a matter OF
fact, no depreciation fund has ever
been created because the board has
never decided what proper deprecia
tion charge would be. Kleinknecht
said the failure OF the board members
to create depreciation fund is a
violation OF an order OF the Indiana
Public Utilities commission.

Things are in their last stage"
The foregoing is the brief message
received recently by A. A. Ohanian, an
Armenian employed at the Starr Piano
company, from a sister in Constantin
ople, Turkey.
Ohanian has two sisters. mothe,
and a brother in Turkey. The short
message from the sister is the first
he had received for two years. He
does not know how many Of his rela
tives have been killed since he LEFT
Turkey eight years ago. Time ana
again he has made efforts to get his
mother to come to America but she
declined because most of her children
stayed in Turkey.
Believes Family Scattered.
Ohanian said today that he has ev
cry reason to believe that his family
has been separated by the Turks ano
that various members have been plac
ed at towns some distance apart. This
is one of the methods used by the
