ELECTRIC BRIDES MAID"
PROVES POPULAR GIFT

When the electrical Christmas gifts
have been received and admired.
there will be an increased demand for
devices that permit their ready use.
Among such devices are the double
duty socket the twin-outlet plug,
and the twin receptacle.
A convenient method or using the
twin outlet plug is embodied in The
Brides Maid" a new kind OF center
piece for dining table or bunet. IL is
made OF mahogany, eighteen inches
long, ten and one-half inches wide.
This oblong piece holds pair OF
electric csndlesticks and the twin

ELECTRIC SECURITIES
GAIN IN POPULAR FAVOR

Wall street has lately expressed
much curiosity In the rapid and wide
spread popularity OF electric utility
stocks and bonds. From practically
every section OF the country come in
quir'es concerning utility securities.
The reason for this interest by the
public is merely "A knowledge OF what
the central station industry means to
this country. The more the people
realize how electricity is relieving the
tolls and burdens of\Iife. the more this
real servant of the people IL invoked.
To-Day there Is no substitute for cleo
trio service. Indeed. without electric
service modern existence would be-
come impossible. With an agency
that Is so vital to the health and
progress OF the human race for sale
on the market, is II any wonder that
the public, at last convinced that cleo
tricity IL an Indispensable service.
should eagerly invest in it?
How broad is the influence Of cleo
trlcity on the nations welfare was
recently pointed out by Edwin O.
Edgerton. president OF the California
1T Is now apparent as IL never has
been before that the future Industrial
development depends in "A very large
measure upon the development of our
public utility srvices. II these serv-
ices are not expanded and enlarged
the development OF the State, agri-
culturally and industrially, will be re-
stricted TO the present available sup
ply.
'Our experience during the p"rioI OF
the war and since should be made
useful in driving home the conception
that shortage OF public utility serviC"
must be guarded against by an adc-
quatc program for tho future, and
that this program must include gen
crous expansion to take car" Of the
demands which are not only upon US
at present, but which are apparent
in the immediate future"

The wee home" has become a real
Iity. The larger the city, the more
wee the home. This result OF the ire

made possible by electricity.
Without electric service, translated
into home service by a small multi
tude OF electric utensils, the housing
shortage would be a great deal more
serious than IL il. But now they tell
about making over numerous old
dwellings in New York into the tlniest
