streaks of luck ut gold mining, so

to the Allison home and sought out
Madge. fairly brlstling with excite

CITY-OWNED
ELECTRIC PLANT
SHOWS PROFIT

There are still some people who
ridicule municipal ownership of pub
lie utilities, says the Chicago Ameri-
can. If they could look over the re-
port of the Springfield municipal cleo
trio light plant for the last year they
might be convinced that municipal
ownership is good thing.
This report, just made public by
Commissioner Spaulding, shows a
profit for the city of $4,000. This
Is a gain of $4,000 over the pre-
ceding year. The city-owned electric
light plant is in competition with the
privately owned electric company.
The city plant supplies about one
third of the city customers, and at a
rate that Is just about half that
charged in other cities in Central IL
linois. OF course, the privately own
ed plant was forced to cut its rate to
meet the rate of the city-owned plant
If Springfield can operate an cleo
trio light plant and show comfort
able profit each year, and this in
spite of keen competition, why could
not other cities do the same thing?
The taxpayer is entitled to what
ever relief he can get. Municipal
ownership in Springfield has lessened
the burden of the taxpayer.

BUSINESS MAN WAKES
UP TO FALLACY OF
OPEN SHOP METHODS
"a. f. of l.. News Service)

Cleveland.-At least one business
man in this city is awake to the pur-
poses of anti-union employers. Writ
ing in the Cleveland Press, he says:
"All this effort to force the open
shop into all lines of industry does
not appeal to me now as it did in
the beginning. We were swayed by
flowery talk. | see the fallacy of
such plan now. Low wages will
not adjust. The most prosperous
period of my business life was when
men were paid good wages. Every
merchant must depend upon the pat
ronage of the wage earners, whether
employed in factory, office or store
If wages are forced down by the
American plan association to such an
extent that the workers scarcely have
enough with which to buy the actual
necessities of life, how can the mer-
chant ever hope to enjoy prosperous
business ?"

Which no statistican apparently allows for
IN MS compilations-love, pure and simple.
Where any real acquaintance preceded these
war marriages and where there is genuine af-
Iectlon they are proving successes in spite of
differences in religion, language and customs.
Where the marriage, as in a great many cases.
followed few chance meetings on the street.
the obstacles in the way of mutual understand
ing are proving too great.
The war brides bureau of the New York
County Chapter of the Red Cross has met
more than 5000 war brides since December.
1918. During the period of waiting while their
husbands are securing their discharges the
women and their babies have been under the
care of the Red Cross, either at the Hostess
House, which was closed Some months ago. or
at a local hotel. The bureau has seen the wom
en- through their first few days of adjustment
IN the new land to which they have come. When
their husbands have not been able to provide for
their transportation home the bureau has
loaned them the money, more than $4,000
having been disbursed in this way since Janu-
ary, 1919. In scores of cases correspondence
has been kept up with these brides over a
period of many months. The bureau is still
meeting the brides of soldiers returning from

1t is the existence of a hothouse plant and
very much like hothouse plant the vault man
feels when he energies into blizzard or when
he has to cross a crowded street. He comes
to shun crowds, to hate noise and confusion
and to become easily bewildered in the hubbub
of the upper world
The executive head Of vault, with an Office
outside the steel grill and the great door with
its time lock, is in closer touch with men and
affairs, though he, too, is cave dweller
"1t is pleasant life, an interesting life"
said Frank 0. Edgerton, secretary of the
Brooklyn City Safe Deposit Company, whose
vault is in the basement of the BROOKLYN Trust
Company Building, in Montague Street

hcation of individuals is the stock in trade

which he has developed to a marvellous extent.
The moment he sees the face of lessee the
number of that persons safe deposit box flashes
before him.
When it is considered that vault may con-
tain 10000 or $4,000 boxes and that the lessees
of some of them may not call at the vault more
than half dozen times in year, the quality
of the guardians memory may be appreciated.
Most of them regard this faculty as a natural
gift, although they admit that it has been
cultivated assiduously. One vault man, the
inner guardian of safe deposit company with
several thousand boxes, attributed his pro-

VT YOU get in certain place behind
certain building in Ludlow Street you can
Il look up and see big, square patch of
blue sky. You will be standing on green
grass, and there will be shrubs at your right
hand and your left and the noises of the city
will come so family that it will not drown out
the twittering of birds.
Yet Ludlow Street, outwardy is a lane
OF grim looking houses, facing each other un-
compromislngy across narrow strip Of cob
blestone and pave, and any one who talks
about square patches of blue sky and green
grass and shrubs and the twitter of birds will
be regarded, and rightfully, as consumer Of
that Western weed called loco, which causes
grave disturbances of the imagination.
Yet it is repeated that, if you are led to the
right place, you can see all these things in
Ludlow Street. They are in the big courtyard
of the old Ludlow Street Jail, which "Boss'
Tweed built in 1869, and in which he died a
few years later, charged with practcing whole
sale graft without license.
Under this patch of blue sky and on this
square OF grass and shrubs Sheriff David n.
Knott proposes to establish recreation place
where the mothers and children Of the Ludlow
Street district may enjoy themselves during
the long, hot evenings of summer The Sher

ARE WAR BRIDES SADDER AND WISER :?

a RE Franco-American marriages. grow
~ ing out of the war, mistake, as Cen
l. "A eral Nivelle, the hero of Verdun, was
recently quoted as saying? Are 80 per
cent of our French war brides sadder but wiser
women, now that the glamour of romance is
gone?
Comprehensive statistics on war marriages
nave never been compiled, and it is doubtful
II they ever will be. Too many practical diff
cultles lie in the way. And supposing all the
1acts could be got together, it is exceedingly
doubtful If any truthful conclusions could be
drawn. Why for example, should a Partisan
m1lllner accustomed to the diversions and
excltements of city life find happiness as the
wife OF rancher in Montana, where she is
miles from any neighbor and far even from
the church of which her husband is member?
how can she, used to working with needle and
thlmble on dainty silks and velvets. mt nm
with the drudgery of household chores in q
ranchers cabin?
And what can French school teacher find in
common with her doughboy husband who turns
out in civil life to be butchers assistant IN
Seattle, WASH? Yet these are cases in real
lie that are resulting successfully. The hid
