held its regular weekly meeting fast
night with Miss Annie Benton Fuller,
at the Thorn home. The club mem
bers claim they had the time of their

Miss Fuller departed a little from

and all enjoyed the change. Instead
of beoby prize, which is so humiliat-

guest a corsage bouquet of knitted
flowers as favors Of the evening. Miss

score and was awarded a string of
Egyptian beads as a special favor.

another surprise. Miss Fuller served
pie and milk and just saying pie and

LONG HORN ON HEAD

BALTIMORE, Md. March 23.-
Last spring. when Lee Wilson.
colored. discovered a hard knot
forming on the top of his head,
he paid it little attention. But as
time went on and the knot grew
Lee became worried. bought a hat
with high crown, refused to take
it off in company and grew a
furtive look in his eyes. In ten
months the knot had ceased to be
knot and to all appearances
became a horn. big at the bottom,
little at the top. Lee bought an
other hat, with a higher crown,
but his deathly fear of hospital
made him keep his silence.
The other day, when the horn
had reached five inches in length
and about half an inch in diameter.
Lee took off his hat and his
friends perceived for the first time
his condition. They "guyed" him
about It, and as Lee was unable to
purchase a hat high enough, he
frightened his lips and went to a
hospital.
Yesterday the horn was removed
and doctors reported the patient
was doing nicely The growth
was composed of keritanized
tissue. similar to the material of
which finger nails consist Ac-
cording to physicians, the growth.

and as two upon the rate of return.
: Marry US on the fare question, but
divorce US on everything else. The
companies ask the commission to con-
fer upon them all the benefits that a
merger would bring to them. while
they themselves stubbornly and ca
p-iciously refuse to the public all
those great benefits that actual con-

Under the law I submit that the

"As much right, and no more. than
the gas company has to advise you

"The public utilities law is no re-

commission and the public for itself and
itself alone. They cannot pool their
losses any more than they share their
profits. Each builds its own houses and
takes no roomers.
FINALLY. I respectfully submit that
the commission cannot say. under its OBJ

rThat fare that produces rate Of
return of II per cent on fair value is
reasonable, just and non-discrimina-

.'That the commission with its record

least IL per cent on fair value and there
