EXCEPTING PUBLIC UTILITIES

One of the foremost authorities in the country on public utilities questions is advancing the plea that public utilities be not included in the increase of the corporation tax, but instead be put in special class for the purposes of taxa tien. This is Philip H. Gadsen. presi- dent of the American Electric Railway Association and an officer in other big public utilities.
 Mr. Gadsen makes out his case with arguments that may be briefly sunmar- izeE somewhat as follows: That public utility companies are already treated in ths eyes of the law for every purpose but taxation as a special class, the class of regulated industry; that they are compelled 10 buy their labor and mater ials in the oDjen market in competition with general industry, while the selling prices of their products are limited by law :; that they cannot, like ordinary in- dustry, curtaII their operations in un- favorable times nor regulate their rev. enues to meet increasing operating ex- penses sr Increasing taxation; that they cannot refuse to undertake new busAnsas when they see no profit in it, but are under legal compulsion to sup pH their pFoaucts for all who apply fer then; that their products are limited hy law; that during the war, while bus insts in general was enjoying an unpar- siieiss prosperity, their net incomes 4Findlkd from month to month, until in many eases dividends on stock had to hn naasad a@6 evan GatArest m Monde left unpaid.
 TheTs seems to be weight in the ar- Eunsnts that Mir Gadsden advanceA although 1t may occur to some to sdg- EeFt that the regulatory bodies in charge of public utilities are supposed 10 allow for increase in rate to offset increase in taxation. But it should be remembered that such an increase in rates would amount to an indirect tax on the general public using the pro- duets of the utility companies.
 Utility compsnies would be bound to pass OR this tax to the public undimin- ifhed, while there is enough elastici- ty in other general business enterpris- e 10 make 1t possible that in many in- ssnces the tax would be absorbed by the iHeustry and net passed on to the pub lie while iE other instances 1t would be passed sn only diminished amount. Pusle utilities, as legally regulated in- eustrT. are actually set aside by law az q Epscial class in the interest of the pnbhe. Why is it not logical to carry Aleng this distinction in the field of fed sTai ta1atioaf

CHILD TRAINING AT HOME
Rainy Day Pastimes
By Mabel R. Young

A rainy day in the kindergarten is always just little freer, a little bright CT and happier than the Ordinary day.
 Why should a rainy day at home be long and dull? Here are few suggek- tons for mixing the mex. one a red iet- ter day for your little forlks.
 First, let the children mke scrspbooks from all the pieces of saved wrapping paper; let them cut the paper the right size, then fold anl sew the sheets into book form. Have one book for crayon drawing, one for freecutting pictures, and another for clippings from msga- zines, papers and seed catalogues. Pro- vide pan or basket for the slips. This occuption will keep the children amused for an hour or more, at the same time developing accuracy and originality.
 Another period can be Happily spent making potato animals. Burned match es fasten heads and bodies together and make splendid legs. elephants trunks and necks for giraffes. A potato circus in full parade is a sight to make even the crossest grown-up smile in spite ot himself. If potatoes cannot be used small animal crackers from the grocery store make a good substitute. With the help of building blocks the children can nike farm and barnyard and the ami mals and blocks will provide 9 play ! Noah's Ark.
 l Save all the clean burned matches | lollypop sticks and meat skewers in box, as they provide never-failing source of amusement. The stick pictures | tlat can be made Houses and barns. | fences and ladders. beds, chairs and | tahles can be formed by the little hands. | Even a park can be laid out, with trees. benches and 1oweF-beds or a camp with rows of tents and soldiers marching in l line.
 There are many games adaptable for indoors Ball, tenpins and bean bags are always good.
 Stories and nursery rhymes can be | dramatized and sense games played. for | instance tire Bell Ringer, in which one child, blindfolded, tries to catch another, who rings a bell as he moves about. An other good game is the Mystery Man. who can be impersonated by one Of the children. All kinds of articles are placed by him in the hands of the blind man. who must guess what they are. Then the play of tasting and smelling makes the time pass prohtabIy and pleasantly. | With a few helpful suggestions ehii- dren can work out and adapt for them selves all of these games and spend the hours indoors happily busy, while fa- vorite story re-told by the mother gives a perfect ending to joyous rainy day.

TO ARRANGE RUGS.

Rugs. small and large, should be laid On straight lines on the floor, not at an angle. The structural lines of the room are thus cenformed with and harmony instead of discord created.
 The use of one large rug, instead of several small ones. adds to the appar- ent size of room. It also helps to produce B unified effect. The floor COW ering, like the wall paper. Is back ground Therefore, plain colors or neu- tral tints are usually the best,
 The new plain colored rugs with straight narrow border lend themselves admirably to the best standards of house furnishing. Tn oriental rugs and i the best types of domestic rugs the diff ferent coiors are so beautifully blended as to produce soft glow of color in which the pattern Is lost.

Have any of us ever known day or year when some men were not breaking the lays in some way or another? Then why should we not expect the same today? Especially from those who have enjoyed wrong or evil doing from their boyhood days How are we to expect good men to grow out of boys who were allowed to roam the streets who delighted in profane

MAKE A WHITING PAD.

A writing pad to be successful must be solid and of good size. A board half an inch thick, Sx12 inches. makes the best pad. Buy half a yard of black elastic, half an inch wide, the strongest you can get, overlap the ends and sew firmly to- sether into the form of a belt. Slip this over the end of the board. It will keep in place both plotting and writing paper and can be moved up and down the board as you need it. On windy day it is in- valuable, setting both hands free.
