VI Invest in "White Coal"

To quote further: '1t is vitally neces- sary for the continued growth and pros perity of the vast territory in Southern California that the full program of devel opment go forward without serious inter ruption. We believe it to be to the inter ests of consumers that they pay rates sui ficiently reasonable to enable the com pany to earn a fair and reasonable return upon the actual investment. Unless this is done, it is plain the utility cannot bor- row sufficient funds to carry forward necessary developments. It is of great importance that this program of develop ment go forward"
 There is summed up the essence of the hydro-electric situation in California. The fact that the Commission always has al lowed a reasonable return upon the in- vestment is one of the greatest assurances to investors of a sound and profitable field for their surplus funds in furthering such development.

NEW YORK. oct 9-Further cleav- age fin values of railroad and indus trial issues characterized a moderate ly active week on the stock exchange. The movement derived much of it's acceleration from additional commodi- ity price concessions.
 What the stock market lacked in stability was largely balanced by the bond market. Increased business then was regarded as a natural corollary of the broadening of the campaign of re- tronchment.
 Although there has SO far been no actual reduction of money rates, eN- tension of the economy movement has lessened strain of credits. inasmuch as it now costs merchants and manufac- turcrs loss to business.
 Reasons for moderate optimism at least were offered by the quick re- sponse of investors to "a number of new capital flotations. mainly short term notes by various domestic and foreign railroad and industrial corpo- rations at an average return of about 8 per cent.
 Tn the industrial field there were signs that the waiting attitude of con- sumers of steel. iron. copper and sun dry finished products would soon find more definite expression in lower prices. Advices respecting the motor. textile and leather trades pointed clearly to further curtailment of operations and reduced inventories.

When Ladydear had finished tell

No. said Ladydear, laughing. The
old Grecian folk thousands Of
years ago believed that the wind
and rain and sun and light and
night and all things were each con-
trolled by a god or goddess. These
stories about the gods and goddess
ses grew out of that belief. So
they're just fairy tales. But most
of the stories about the beings on

Winning A Sled

Once upon time there were
some poor children. Their names
were Bob and Mary. Their father
was very ill and so the mother
had to work very hard so as to
have enough money to keep them.
Bob and Mary couldn't have
candy and things like we can. A
penny week was all they were
given. They happened. to go
down town and lady said. ~ am

slip for both of you and it has a

The children went home very
happy. At last the gread day
came. The children were there
on time. And who do you think

had to tell him what Ladydear had
been telling them about Greece.
Did Ladydear tell you about the

asked Captain Brave of Jack.
mo, sir" answered Jack.
We'll what would you think of a
rowboat big enough to cruise
around the ocean and rowed along
by three sets of Oarsmen, ranged
one above the other? That's what
the Greek merchants and warriors
had. The rOwers who sat along the
lower part of the boat had short
oars. The men who sat in the tier
of seats above them had longer ones
and the men on the upper deck of
the boat had great, long sweeping
oars that reached out beyond the
other two seats. There were ever
so many rowers who pulled the
great boats along just like big
engines would drive them. Some
of the cruel commanders of ships
used to chain slaves to the sides of
the boats and make them row."
Captain Brave told them more in
teresting facts about the Greece of
ages ago and by the time bedtime
came Jack and Jane were more
sure than ever that Greece was the
most wonderful and interesting
country they had visited so far in
their trip.

MAKING MAPS

TdHClS w. fdTheF oCuOOl
To learn to use maps you must
make maps. Get large map of
your home town and redraw it max
ing every measurement half the
length it is in the original. This
reduces its size to one fourth. To
simplify the measuring draw two
straight lines at right angles, one
at the left margin and one along
the bottom. From these two lines
measure out to any point you want
to locate. 1t will be we'll to test
the accuracy Of your work as you
proceed by measuring from point
to point.
Get a large map Of the United
States. With scissors cut it on the
state boundary lines. 1t is great
fun to learn to recognize the diff
ferent states by their shapes and
sizes. Also it helps when you come
to recite that geography lesson.
Get some string, some small
wooden stakes, and map of your
state. In your back yard or field
stake out your state on a large
scale say an inch or a foot to a
mile. Say the scale of your map
is fifty miles to the inch. Thus if
