Cheaper Gas.

The action Of the Public Service
Commission In reducing the price Of
gas 10 cents thousand cubic feet
in nearly all parts OF the city seems
fair both to the public and to the gas
companies. M
This is the second cut that has
been made since Governor MILLER
appointed the Public Service Com
mission in the spring OF 1921. The
first cut was made voluntarily by
the gas companies after they had
made more favorable oil contracts.
The present reduction is ordered by
the commission in spite Of the gas
companies application for permis-
sion to increase the price.
1t is doubtful whether the COM
ranies will suffer greatly by drop
ping the price to $1.15. They are
receiving compensation in the shape
Of permission to change from the
candle power standard OF measure
ment to the British thermal unit
standard. They will be allowed to
furnish less light, as light soes.in an
open flame, but they must provide
adequate heat.
AS the open flame for lighting has
been obsolete since the perfection Of
the mantle device New York has
Jagged In its failure to adopt the B.
T. U. az the standard OF gas. Nearly
sll the other large cities have changed
to- the caloric standard. The gas
companies can produce more gas with
the same amount of oil under the
newly adopted method, SO they will
have to stand only part of the 10
cent reduction-perhaps a nickel out
of the dime. They have, however, an
additional overhead expense in being
compelled henceforth to furnish man
ties at cost.
The dream OF so cent gas, from
which the United States Supreme
Court awakened this region some
months ago, cannot be reality until
prices OF coal and oil and labor have
fallen much lower than they are now.
The chairman Of the Public Service
Commission, Mr.. PRENDERGAsT, de-
clares that production and distribu-
tion, not to mention dividends and
certain taxes, cost more than so cents.
And. as the highest Of our courts
has informed us, confiscation is still
lawless.

A Theater Named for DAILY.

Theater dynasties change so rapidly
in New York that II is not surprising
If none is long commemorated in the
name Of playhouse. Few names
endure even during the lifetime
Of the average manager. LESTER
WNLAcK lived to see his name re-
moved from the playhouse with the
history Of which his family was as
sociated for two generations. A. M.
PALMER saw his name removed from
and that OF Wallack restored to the
building which he had renamed In
his own honor.
Now JoHN Corr is to name a re-
modelled playhouse in honor of
AUGUsTIN DAILY, who did not lack
recognition OF this kind in his life-
tune. the theater on the west side OF
Broadway between Twenty ninth and
Thirtieth streets having borne his
name for many years. Its restoration
by Mr.. Corr. who has theaters called
after him not only in New York but
in several other cities, is graceful
recognition Of one OF the great influ-
ences in the New York theater OF a
past generation.
GEORGE M. CoHAS, who enjoys the
same sort OF distinction, was not
merely manager when his theater
was completed he was also actor,
author, singer. dancer and composer.
These manifold activities are duly
commemorated in the mural paint
ings that adorn the playhouse. In
this respect Mr.. CONAN is preeminent.
No other manager can look about a
theater and see his history recorded
on the walls. Yet Mr.. CoHAS at pres
ent owns no part OF this theater.

Shuberts--the single theater bearing
their name is dedicated rather to the

HURST, OLIVER Monosco, II. II. FRAzEE.
the Selwyns and EARL CARROLL have
the pleasure Of seeing their names on
theater signs because they are also
the owners Of the buildings and can
call their property what they please.
The Belasco Theater is, on the other
hand. inseparable from the fame OF
the noted producer, who stamps on
every success that originates there
the unique mark OF his genius.
HENRY MILLER is not only manager
but actor. and probably the aerial
retreat associated with the fame of
Nora BAYEs. although she is rarely
heard there, ought to be listed as
named for a player. The Booth and
the Garrick revive for this day the
memories OF past geniuses OF the
thcater. But the Eltinge, like the

. soldering Forty Years Ago.

From the Hutchinson Ne,cs.
Charles s. Hale, veteran OF the Indian
wars, who was member OF the Regular
Army cavalry from 1881 70 1888, was a
visitor in Hutchinson to-day. He enlisted
first In Boston and was sent 20 q post In
Missouri, was then assigned TO Troop g,
Seventh United States Cavalry. stationed at
Fort Asinaboine in Montana. On the way
TO this fort he was sent up the Missouri
river in fiatbost, which was forced TO
stop twice until the herds OF buffalo could
swim the river. Tho Regular Army then was
an advance guard Of civilization which pro-
tected the settlers from the raids OF the

Only . Dream.

A Brooklyn woman dreamed the
other night that ghost pointed out
to her an old house IN which was
hidden a pot Of gold. With her hus-
band and five children the dreamer
made an unsuccessful search for the
treasure. It was not found. Then
she told friend of her dream. The
friend and her family promptly
joined the hunt. On the next night
forty persons sought the yellow store,
and on the fourth night one hun
dred showed up. At last the house
disappeared under the attacks and
nobody was richer for all the hard
work done and sleep lost.
II this woman had dreamed that
somebody's spirit visited her to tell
her that il she and the members OF
her family would toll diligently at
the tasks that fell to their lot, would
live frugally. saving each day some
thing from their income and putting
the savings in the bank or buying
Government securities they would be
prosperous all their days she prob.
ably would not have thought twice
about her dream. Had she told her
neighbors about such counsel from
the Great Beyond none Of them would
lave seriously altered his or her way
of life in the slightest degree. Not
a single man or woman would have
sat up late at night to discuss the
visitant's advice.
And these Brooklyn folk do not
differ from most other human be-
ings in any important particular.

The Untamed Economist Again

Mr.. w. JETr LAUcK, who describes
himself as consulting economist OF
the railroad unions, turned up once
more at the Railroad Labor Boards
hearing in Chicago on Thursday. He
turned up with new set of figures
concerning the minimum living wage
In its relation to transportation. AS
far as the published, reports Of his
cipherings are ineligible Mr.. LAucK
figured 'the minimum living wage"
at 4s cents an hour for the lower
classes Of unskilled labor. necessitat-
ing an increase Of from % to "a per
cent. on the wages now paid.
But there are other unskilled la
borers in the United States whose
claim to the minimum living wage
Is quite as clear as that Of the un-
skilled labor which happens to have
a grip on public convenience. COM
fort and safety through the circum-
stance OF its employment In connec-
tion with the railroads.
Questioned as to these other un-
skilled laborers Mr.. w. JETT LAUcK
appears to have admitted frankly that
there are seventeen million Of that
class in the United States. of whom
only about one-tenth are the rail-
road workers; and that square deal
all around in the matter of his mini
mum living wage would involve
general wage increase OF $11,s0o, ,000.-
000,, the railroad unskilled getting
$1,000, 900, 900 Of this increased charge
on other peoples cost of living.
In the past two or three years Mr..
W. JETT LAUcK, the untamed stat
istician and consulting economist,
has more than once been UP against
it. When he pointed out to the SEN
ate Committee on Interstate Com
merce in May. 1921, that the waste
ful and prodigal railroad operators
might easily save s27s,Oo0.000 year
by undermining locomotives" DANIEL
WILLARD Of the Baltimore and Ohio
pointed out one trifiing circum-
stance overlooked by the consult
ing economist. To make that saving
Of $27s,000,000 would require capi-
tai outlay Of $4,000, ,00O.o 900.
Then there was the severe and un-
kind LoREE. The consulting econo-
mist had ciphered out a case Of
watering OF Delaware and Hudson
securities by which the public was
wronged. The water swiftly evapo-
rated when President LoREE showed
that the issues were examined and
approved by the Public Service Com.
mission and sold at prices approved
by the commission, and that the dis
count was charged to profit and loss,
as required by the Public Service
Commission, and not added to the
cost OF the property devoted to pub
lie use.
1t was on this occs sion that Mr..
LoREE described Mr.. w. JErr LAUcR
as a statistician Of the type of<mind
which, being disappointed in the re-
suits OF mathematical calculation,
calmly turns the skies upside down,
uses them as mines, anH maintains
that the new result is the correct one
since he has, he insists, used the
same figures"
Eleven and a third billions more
for unskilled labor! This is nothing
to w. JETr LAUcK when his mathe-
matical intellectuals are running
smoothly. II the railroad unions
really consult him on economics their
own respectable noddles must be
chockful Of Bedlam all the time.
