utility company good understand
ing, good will and friendship is,
from every viewpoint Of successful

The OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES had been

| men of experience, wide-ObServa-
ton and intelligence, experts, so to
speak-who knew the subject and
what was most needed to secure CO.

him all were impressed with the
wonders public utilities in general

ing the development of electric
power, without doubt the coming
power that will attonish mankind
and revolutioniZc our modes of liv-

Betty Compson, whose first starring
picture, Prisoners of Love-" comes to
the Murray Theatre, Thursday, pos
sesses but single piece of jewelry-
black opal given to her by her father
when she was a child. Contrary to
general superstition, it has brought her
the best of luck, for from violinist
in a vaudeville theatre at fifteen dol
lars a week, she has assembled to
motion picture stardom and has her
own producing company. Miss Comp
son declares that the belief that opals
bring i'll fortune is pure fallacy, and
that this tale was invented by African
diamond merchants who feared opals
would surpass diamonds in popularity.
