Yes.
Is there a city in the United States
today that is paying more for its
light and water than is charged local
consumers by the Mutual Light and
Water Company?
Statistics prove that there is hot.
Why, then. should this added bur
den be imposed upon a people who
have been forced to pay for years
fer q service. while exorbitant. has
been. and is. entirely inadequate and
unsatisfactory. So poor has been
the service. in fact. that this eorpo-
ration deserved no better treatment
. than 10 have its franchises taken back
by the city and given into more
worthy and capable hands.
Several years ago. holding cut the
alluring prospects of cheaper rates
for light and water, this corporation
put one over" on tn consumers by
installing the meter system with the
result that the cost OF these comnlodi-
ties were increased more thar one
hundred per cent

sition advanced by the Mutual Light

The News, proved a success. Nearly
100 contestants were entered within
two weeks, and it was no easy matter
for BILLY Possum" and his associates
to decide the winner. A Billy Pos
sum- poem, as the contestants now
know, is no easy matter to write
when it is taken into consideration
that one has such short space in
which to say what he wishes. In fact,
one woman contestant in the contest
just closed, suggested that "Billy
P0ssum" in the contest, had practi-
cally eliminated the women, for the
reason that they could say nothing
in such liimted space. The verses re-
ferred to above, submitted by NJ. L..
W., are as follows:

Miss Alice Gibson Winner
OF "BiNy Possun1" Prize
Out of 100 Contestants Young Lady From Lookout Mountain
Xietor-Contest Spirited and Interesting One:

Out Of almost 100 contestants Miss
Alice Gibson, of Lookout mountain,
has been awarded the s. prize offered
by The News for the best BILLY
Possum" written by reader up to
Oct l.
Despite the fact that the contest
was only in progress about two
weeks, q vast amount Of interest was
manifested from the first, every mail
brought numerous letters containing
verses. The majority of the verses
submitted were good. but there were
few that BILLY Possum" will have
to say, must have been written by
someone who didn't know Pegasus
from a mule. Besides the verse on
which Miss Gibson won the prize, she
submitted two others, which were
also excellent.
The winning verse is being pub
lished in this issue on the front page
with "Bnly Possum" and his weather.
Another excellent verse submitted
was that Of NJ. l.. w. Evening Side,
Ferger Place. BILLY Possum" wants
to add that If he could write like NJ,
L. W, he would most assuredly give
his full name and not his initials. The
winner of the contest may have the
pleasure Of meeting BILLY Possum"
and his associates and getting her
prize, if she calls at the editorial
rooms of The News, Saturday be-
tween 1890 and o'clock.

KING ALBERT DID
TOWN "INC0C"
Queen Elizabeth Went Caba-
retting-Students Recognize
S4dier-RuIer.

New York, Oct. 3.-King Albert, OF
Belgium, did the town "incog' last
night and Queen Elizabeth went
cabareting. But despite his might
out" the king was up early this
morning in his suite at the Waldorf
preparing to receive New York City's
official welcome at city hall from
Mayor Hylan at noon.
Attired in a dark gray coat. blue
trousers and a soft felt hat, flattened
on one side, wearing stand-up COL
lar, with a black four-i hand cravat,
King Albert, in company with Rear
Admiral Andrew T. Long, wandered
about Manhattan last night, taking
delight in the sights along the white
way. He returned to the hotel at
12:45 am.
The "incognito," which the king and
queen chose to assume upon their
arrival yesterday, was as novel to
New Workers as was the actual fact
of the presence in the city for the
first time in history of a reigning
king and queen. The "incognito"
proved only partially effective so far
as. Albert was concerned. When he
went for an automobile tour of the
city with Prince Leopold, the we'll
known face of the soldier king" was
frequently recognized and he was
fervently cheered. He received an
especially enthusiastic ovation at Co
lumbia university, where he was rec
ognized by a throng of students leaV-
ing their classes.
Few Recognized Queen.
And the queen, too, stayed out
late. With Baron and Baroness De-
Cartier de Marchiene and Countess
Chislaine de Caraman- Chimay, she
visited a cabaret, staying through the
entire performance. Few there were
aware of her identity. Queen Eliza
beth and her party intended going to
motion picture theater on Broad
way, but decided on the cabaret
rather than suffer inconvenience of
the crowd waiting to enter.
A visit to the Hippodrome in the
evening will complete the days ac-
tivities.
The royal party will remain in New
York until Saturday. when they will
start on a tour of the nation, which
will take them to the Pacific coast
and back again to Washington,
where they will be received at the
White House. The first scheduled
stop is Boston, where the royal party
is expected to arrive on Sunday
morning.

CALI. FAMILY TO
WILSON'S Side
Defeat of Fall Amendments
and French Ratification
Cheers President.

Washington, Oct. 3.-Mrs. William
McAdoo and Mrs. Francis Sayre,
daughters of the president, are on
their way to Washington. Mrs. Nc
Adoo will arrive this afternoon from
New York. Mrs. Sayre is coming
from Williamstown, Mass. 1t is said
while members of the family had
not been summoned to Washington,
Mrs. McAdoo and Mrs. Sayre had ex-
pressed a desire to come. Miss Mar
garet Wilson, the third daughter, is
now in Washington.
Orders of the physicians that the
president be kept absolutely quiet
will be strictly enforced. Secretary
Tumulty said today. No official
business will be brought to the ex-
ecutive's attention, no matter how
pressing, Mr.. Tumulty said, and no
one except members of the immediate
family will be permitted to see him.
The president was informed late
yesterday of the defeat in the senate
of the Fall amendments to the peace
treaty and of the ratification of the
treaty by the French chamber of depu-
ties, and this news apparently
cheered him considerably, Mr.. Tu-
multy said.
1t was announced officially that the
turn in the presidents condition
would not interfere with the indus
trial conference next week.
In the event that the president is
not able on Monday to address a
communication to the conference,

HARD MAN TO HANDLE
Philadelphia, Oct. 3--Dr. Francis x.
Dercum, of this city noted neurologist,
who examined President Wilson as con-
suling phyician, said today that "the
presidents condition is grave, but he is
of a cheerful frame of mind"
After spending an hour and a half at
the presidents bedside DR.. Dercum re-
turned home at midnight.
I'VE merely confirmed DR.. Grayson's
diagnosis, made previously, and found
the president very much in need of rest.
He is very cheerful and takes an inter-
est in what is going on. This is an
encouraging indication"
Mr.. Wilson, according to DR.. Dercum.
realizes that he is a sick man and is
making an effort to cease chatting under
the restraint which compels him to re-
linqush temporarily the helm of the
administration. BY nature. said the
neurologist, he is hard man to ham
die" from the viewpoint of a phyiclan.
'The president is not the type of man
to be worried by his symptoms" said
DR.. Dercum. This led him to overtax
his strength, when he should have been
outstanding it after the strain of the
peace conference"
Upon his arrival DIR. Dercum said to
newspaper reporters:
The president is profoundly exhaused
and very weak. He remained in bed all
day. He had no temperature, but the
fact that he was up and about on
Wednesday and became so completely
exhausted later caused every one to be
little apprehensive."
DIR. Dercum said he would not return
to Washington unless summoned.
