THE BRAIN POWER BEHIND
THE PUBLIC UTILITY SERVICES

When the average person invests
his money in a gold prospect, or in
an oil possibility, or in the develop
ment of an invention, or even in q
new industry, he makes a bet on
somebody's guess that il will turn
out well.
When the average user of Public
Utility Service, or the average in
weston in a company supplying such
service makes use Of its product or
puts his money into il to get an in
como he has behind the service rem
dered, or the investment made, the
genius and the research of genera
tons.
Did it ever strike you, Gas User,
Electric Light and Power Customer,
Street Railway Rider or Telephone
Subscriber, how much genius you get
for your dollar? Or how much Of the
history Of invention is in the service
rendered you? Or how much romance
there has been in the upbuilding Of
the service given you, on the instant,
when you call for it?
Do you know how much accumu-
lated brain power is serving you?
Did it ever strike you, Investor in
Public Utilities, what refinements of
scientific investigation, what certain
ties of results, what growth Of the
law. what accuracy Of accounting. are
marshalled behind your dollars, your
shares of stock, your bonds?
DO you realize how much brain
power is at work keeping your invest
ment safe and remunerative?
The Public Utilities are the results
of the visions Of genius, of the heart
breaking attendant upon research, Of
the accidental discoveries and delib
crate conclusions of science, of thu
wonders of invention, of the daring o
capital, Of the patience of disappoint
ed investors, of the faith which con
sumner and provider, capitalist an
worker have in the American people

 The woman who bustles around who won't permit the rest of the world to indulge in a few dreams is generally a nuisance. But sometimes sees time passing and the dreamers procession of days.
 Life is a matter of fact and actual ity.
 Civilization can only keep it's wheels going by hard work. Civilization, however. is based on dreams worked out into action.
 We must all face the facts of life. but sometimes. when our eyes get fix ed from staring and won't focus prop erIy, to sit dream ming and gazi.1g into far spaces is practical enough to suit the greatest of "hustlers."
 No one can go around with his eyes among the clouds and keep his earth bound feet and stumbling a bit.
 No one can plod along with his eyes on the ground and fail to miss some of the loveliness Of cloud and far horizon

their separate homecoming.
 Before that, however. the then Mrs. 4oung's strapping son, a soldier in the A. B. F. had met young Dfcker- man on the front. They became "buddies," and as ''buddies" they came home.
 Then came Mrs. Youngs and Dick erman's Fourth of July marriage in the city clerks office of Chicago city hall. They were married July 4, 1919.
 They were happy, supremely so. Because of his duties as a travelling salesman they were separated at in tervals. But always the letters. breathing love in every line and laden with crosses as kisses.
 And then the separation, which Mrs. Dfckerman charges was caused by her mother-in-Iaw.
 The Fervid Letters.
 The letters of the husband read in court room teem with burning phrases. They speak of "my precious dear" your sonny boy" darling mine.' "old dear" "ny adorable sweetheart" "my own dearest lone girl" 'bless you and keep you," you are my life happiness, Gene, dear" T miss your wonderful loving kisses and caressing arms" "Oh, Gene, my love-" wish you were here to hold me in your loving arms"
 Striking passages from some of the letters include the following:
 "Oh! rapture, joy and bliss! I re- ceiyed four letters from you, darling, just now, and I have never been so happy. You are quite true when you say we live in a world of too many conventionalities, and I, too am bored with it all
 You know there isn't any girl in the world I care for but you, darling; and if I can't live with you, darling, I will be a bachelor.

 'No woman ever appealed to me as much as you, dearest, and am simply mad in love with you, dear, and want you and need you most awful1y.
 "But if anything happens to you, dear, why then I'll just simply go to he'll won't care any more.
 IL cefIa1nly IS pretty hard to be so far away from you, sweetheart, and I think of you every minute. And at night how miss you, dear, and wish you were" in my arms and caressing me with your sweet kisses. OhI love is heavenly thing, nest ce pas ma cherie ?"

 It was in one of the little villages outside of Paris that they finally met. Mrs. Dickerman heard one of the doughboys mention something about his "buddie'' Dickerman from Somervil1e.
 Mrs Dickerman, then Mrs. Edgar M. Young, a widow, made immediate inquiries. She felt the young Dicker- man whose name she had heard was the same rosy-cheeked youth, who. in knee pants attended her Sunday school class years ago.
 She sent for Dickerman to call up- on her. They discovered they were the same teacher and pupil of years ago. Their acquaintance grew Friendship ripened into love. Their duties separated them for a while, but there were always the burning love letters which followed each other. Came young Dickerman's leave.

 There's tremendous lot of romance in the everyday things of life. Have you ever stopped to think what a love- ly story lies back of the matter-of- fact little sewing machine? Think of Elias Howe watching his wife bent over her seWing-stitching stitching endlessly- Think of the romantic de- Vot1on in his heart which made him fairly ache to make things easier for the woman he loved.

 "Aye," sobbed Stella, anew. "You men are all alike. You lead us on, and then feign surprise when we take you seriously. You're heartless, every one of you.'
 Unseen by either of them, a shad- owy figure passed by the outside of the tent, and seeing Miguel and Stella were arm in arm, as it appeared, flew by, with startled eyes. It was Princess uona, on her way back from her soli- tary ramble.
 At sight of the couple. so deeply engrossed in each other, she felt her heart contract, and her legs tremole a little. It was so sudden a thing to come upon, especially after her talk with Miguel in the afternoon. He had certainly acted to her, for if he were on such intimate terms with Stella he must have known all along what was the reason for her dislike for herself, Ilona What a deceiver he was, after all. No wonder Stella hated her, II she cared for Miguel as much as It seemed from the sight that had greet ed Ilona as she sped by the tent. How did Don Miguel dare to follow her when he was obviously attached to this girl? Ilona walked on beyond her own tent, lost in thought. The cool winds of night were grateful on her heated brow, and yet once or twice she shiTered as though from cold.
 At the end of a half hour she saw Miguel come out of Stella's tent and walk swiftly away in the direction of the wood that had shared their hap py laughter before sundown. The wood she had herself just been dress ing in, 1ulled by all the softness Of the southern night.

FIONA IS MISIEAD.

At the touch of his arm on her body she wept again, softly. Entirely non plussed, Miguel spoke to her again in a gentle voice, and at last Stella turn ed and faced him, her dark eyes still filled witl, tears.
 ''Why do you bother about some one you long ago ceased to care for?' she inquired. 'fWhat is it to you if cry or if I am unhappy, Miguel? I know that you no longer care for me, that was over months ago, and I have done my best to accept things. Then why do you come to me and cause me pain by reyiving old mem ories this way? There was a time when you would have died rather than cause me to weep. And when the touch of your arms on my body were not pitying ones" Here she looked into his face reproachfu1ly.
 Don Migue kept hls arm around her as he tried to explain to the best of his ability just how much he ad- mired her, and hoped for her happi- ness. But Stella was inconsolabIe Over and over again she walled to him of her shattered dreams her broken heart, and her unhappy life.
