Prima Donna Of the Metropolitan
Opera Company and Noted for
Beauty as Well as Her Art.

A GENUINE smile is one of the
~ most attractive of human
L II attributes.
A woman who possesses a win
ming smile is very likely to make
friends wherever she goes, and
even the plainest face can be at
tractive when lighted by a smile
which bespeaks the light within.

ADVICE TO THE
LOVELORN
Beatrice Fairfax

IIAn Miss It AlfNF AAs
| have been going with a
girl, one year my Junior. One
evening quite recently she made
a date with another fellow, which
she did not want to keep as he
had asked her on one other occa-
sion to elope with him. However,
her mother liked the other fellow
and insisted that as long as she
had made the date she should
keep 1t. The girl asked me to fol.
low her, so as to prevent his at.
tempting to elope with her.
After driving around town and
in the country for couple of
hours, they went to q place in
Virginia where they could have
been married, but after driving
around said place with me con.
tinuously following them, they
started TO town. He then took
her home. where he left her.
Previous to this, she promised
me she would not allow any
other fellow to kiss her, but they
were kissing each other on the
way hack from Virginia.
Will you please tell me what
you think Of the girls actions
, and what I should do?
G. r. A.
I WOULD give her the gate
She probably thought she was
very smart, and was laughing al
you. Why on earth should you
trail them to prevent his attempt
ing to elope with her? He couldn't
elope with her unless she were
willing. Better save two.cent
stamp next time. and do a little
thinking for yourself. Your letter
Is silly.

To Be Beautiful


Stop and think of some friend or
acquaintance whose smile you par
ticularly like. You will probably
see before your minds eye a flash
of even, white teeth, which makes
the vision of parted lips at least
ten times more attractive.
Whether you have realized It OF
not. it is the beauty Of those teeth
that gives the smile half of its love
liness. OF course, a smile may
have a winning way about II even
when the teeth 1t reveals are moi
beautiful, but 1t Is many times
more forceful II they are easy to
look upon.

ter chance to keep them In the
condition you would like. For II
they have always been looked afteI
with loving care they are likel,

region TO consider utility rate reduc-
tions tho following resolution was
passed:
Hammond. Indian. Jan. 2Sth, 1e23-
Moved by ". j. McAleer of Hammond
and seconded by James Brissey of Ea ST
Chicago. that city councils and Mayors
Of Hammond. Whiting and East Chi

a sufficient sum of money, according
TO valuation or some other reasonable
method), for the purpose OF jointly en-
gaging and hiring experts and ex-
perienced men 20 secure evidence to

sion of Indiana. for tho purpose and
object Of bringing about a reduction
OF rates and fares and better and more
efficient service by AL the public utiIl-
ties companies and corporations in the
Calumet region.
Your committees support OF this res
olution was subject to a number OF
reservations implied and expressed
TO set forth in its report to the Rotary
club.
l. The Public Service commission
OF Indiana is deserving OF and has
the confidence of the members of the
Rotary club of Hammond
?. The logic of events makes il tn
evitable that there will Re revision
downward OF certain utility rates
where increases were granted to com
pensate for rising material and labor
costs which reached their peak i'm
m ediately after the war and in which
there have been appreciable reductions
since that time.
s. AS long as tho Public Utility
commission was compelled to bear the
and unpopularity OF it's orders increas-
ing rates ia the face Of rising costs
it should now be given the opportunity
II il finds reductions are possible. to
make an award reducing rates.
l. IT. in the logic Of events. rate re-
auctions are probable in the near fu
ture il should be the policy OF the com
nunity to defer large appropriations
for expert engineers. accountants and
appraisers until the commission has
had chance 10 rule on such evidence
as it has at hand and what additional
evidence may be introduced by the le-
gal departments OF tho respective

UTILITY RATE
CHRONOLOGY

Tne chronology OF the recent agita-
oon On the utility rate proposition in
enc Calumet region is as follows:
January H. the Hammond Kiawpi.
Grub appointed a committee of three
men and suggested that the Rotary
and other clubs appoint similar com
mittees 20 meet at Carl Lundgren's on
saturday. January 2s. TO determine
what action should be taken TO lower
rates OF all public utilities
January %, the committees OF the
various civic bodies of the cities of the
region met at Lundgren's and passed
resolution asking the mayors and
city councils OF the cities represented
20 appropriate sums to provide for hir-
ing experts to secure evidence to place
nstore the commission in an effort to
secure reduction OF utility rates
While no sum was definitely set the
speakers talked Of s25 10000 70 $50
oeNo0 as being the sum necessary TO
carry on such an investigation
AZ this meeting the representatives
OF the Hammond Rotary club were the
hrst to dissent to the general plan and
the project for an Inyesti ga ton was
approved only after Roscoe u. Woods
the spokesman OF the committee, made
many reservations including one to the
erect that the Rotary club would be
committed only after he had had
chance 10 report back to the club and
the club should determine its policy
towards the whole matter.
On January 81, at the meeting Of the
kfwanis club. a. NJ. Turner took sub
stantiaily the position that had been
taken by the members of the Rotary
club committee at the Lundgren meet
ing in dissenting from the plan sug-
sested by w. J. McAleer and the mem
bcrs OF his committee
On Februarv :. the committee con
sssting Of Charles True. chairman:
Melvin Aonnette and Roscoe Il. Woods
submitted written report, printed in
another section OF The Times. in which
they opposed the expenditure Of large
sum Of money at this time for the pur-
poses OF carrying on an investigation.
This report was unanimously adopted
b. the Rotary club and determines its
stand In this matter; a stand which
has been consistent from the very be-
ginning and does not involve any
change Of heart and which was unin-
fuenced by any person outside of the
Rotary club.
Report OF special committee OF the
hammond Rotary club. appointed to
act jointly with other civic clubs Of
hammond ana the cities OF the Calumet
district to consider what action should
be taken to lower rates on all public
utilities.

GOOD TURN IN LONDON
OPENED EYES OF u. S.

An American business man having
temporarily lost his bearings in Lon
don fog paused on street corner. a
newsy. seeing the gentlemen s dilemma
asked if he could be Of any assistance.
The gentleman accepted the boy
guidance to his hotel and naturally
offered the guide a substantial tip. The
b,y drew himself up with dignity and
explained that he was a Boy Scout and
Bow Scouts did not take pay for dong
their good turns. The sen.lemens in
teres, was aroused TO the extent that
he sought out Bader Powell, the found
rr of Scouting and Chief Of the British
Scouts Association, and learned what
this Scouting business really was.
When the business man returned TO
America, he interested others in the
Scout Movement. The result was thai
the Bow Scouts Of America was Incor'
porated February s, 1910.
On June IS. 1916. Congress granted
the organization special Fedora!

that very large sums Of money would
have 20 be spent in Independently do
terminins upon what could only be 3
temporary valuation for the properties
involved
The fact should be borne in mind
that a complete Investigation OF an
utilities would necessarily include the
following: Illinois Bell Telephone
Co. Northern Indiana Gas & Electric
Co, Hammond, Whiting e. East Chi
cago Electric Railway Co.. Gary and
Interurban Electric Railway Co. Gary
Heat. Light and Power Company and
East Chicago Water Company. each Of
which would have 10 be separately APP
praised and valued unless the investi-
gators would be willing to accept what
is now a matter OF public record in
the hands OF the commission.
g. Should the first hearing fail 70
bring about expected reductions; ard
should it become apparent that such
reductions are possible only by a full
and complete presentation OF the pub
for by expert accountants, engineers
and appraisers; then II is the belief OF
your committee that ample funds bs
appropriated and that the cities of the
region pool their expenditures for the
purpose of providing the. needed data.
The final investigation should be on
a scale that VIII provide a basis Of
valuation and costs that would be at
once accurate and authoritative and
would be valuable FOR years to come in
presenting the public's side at utility
rate hearings.
2. The policy that should govern
in any investigation should he as fol-
lows:
(al The public should be aprised Of
the facts but any unwarranted pub
LEFTY appeals to passion. prejudice or
for political favor should be avoided.
Such inquiry should be purely a
business proposition.
OBJ There should be no pre- jud gin &
OF the situation. No one knows
whether or not rates are justified. The
Investigation is to determine that fact.
