himself for the evening with his news

Weinberg cleared the table. Leo had
gone to his room and appeared in the
diningroom some half hour later, his
clothes brushed Immediately, his hair
combed to the nth degree. He carried
his hat and overcoat. Mrs. Vein

"You take one of the girls out To-

honor tonight? Sarah Hersh? Or
maybe it's Belle Kahn?"
Neither of those young ladies to-
night" he answered as he kissed her
goodbye and swung out of the room.
Mrs. Weinberg sighed. She fin
ished her task and came into the liv-
ing-room and sat down opposite her
husband with the inevitable basket of
darning. There was silence for a
short while. Then
'Leo, he don't stay home so much
any more" she told Mr.. Weinberg.

complain"
"You want I should come to the
table like a pig? asked Mr.. Vein
berg.
"No, dad," replied Leo, "but she
doesn't want you to come like a
snail"
GAIL kinds of animals I am in this
house," said Mr.. Weinberg, as he
went off to remove some of the dust
acquired during the day.
Their evening meal was much the
same as that of the average Ameri-
can Jewish family. 1t was the time of
day when mother reigns, when her
handiwork is displayed, to be admired
by the hungry family in way which
clears the plates in a remarkably
short time. The compliment given
Mrs. Weinberg each evening by her
husband and son in this way, repaid
her for all her hard work. But her
meals were deserving of a compliment
for she could we'll be called a post
graduate in culinary school.

grown, they don't want to stay home
never"
Mr.. Weinberg aroused himself suf-
ficiently from his paper to answer:
"You want he should stay home al
ways by his mamma? You don't know
yet the young folks. They want their
own age. Not old people like you and
me-"
81 don't want he should stay home
always" Mrs. Weinberg replied. "But
! want he should not grow away from
his papa and mamma. Mrs. Abrams
boys don't think she is too old. They
took her to a dance last week. Leo,
he never once asks me to go.'
"You want he should take his old
mamma, when there are plenty of
young girls :? And maybe Mrs. Abrams
is not so old. She looks pretty young.
On the street, | see her yesterday. She
looks as young almost as her girl,
Mamie"
''Why shouldn't she look young yet?
With all their money. Twice a week
to the hairdresser's she goes, and once
to the manicure. I could look young,
too"
"You want should take Leo away
from school, so his old mother can
look young again. Mr.. Abrams took
his boys in the business with him.
They don't go to college to become
doctor like our Leo"
college is a good thing" Mrs.
Weinberg replied, "but l think some
thing"
"You always think something. What
is it now?"
"Now, Max, don't scold, but long
time l wonder, and this morning it
comes to me. Our Leo is wonderful
boy and proud of him we should be,
but I'm afraid of something"
You're always afraid What's
Mrs. .Applebaum been telling you
now?"
"She don't tell me nothing. But yes
terday, Mrs. Greenstein was here and
she said to me, You must have a lots
of company now in your house, SEEM
your Leo's so popular. I bet it keeps
you busy cooking things for all them
young folks l didn't tell her that
never once has Leo brought his
friends here, except once in
while the Blum boy or Mamie Gins
berg. Never once has he asked me
parry W MAKE LOT him..
"He don't want to put you to the
trouble, mamma" Mr.. Weinberg ex-
cused his son. "He knows you amt
so strong now and he thinks maybe
you work too hard"
"You call that work 2" she cried,
making strudel for the young people
to eat? I'd love to do it, but never
once he asks, Mamma, make some
nice kreploch and bring home some
of my friends tonight to see what a
good cook my mamma is He tells me
every night what a good cook I am,
but why doesn't he bring his friends
home to taste it?"
"Now, mamma" said Mr.. Weinberg,
che should be advertiser for you?
Amt it enough you satisfy your hus-
band? That should make you happy"

said little sadly, "but think maybe
when Leo goes to college and knew all
the nice boys and girls, he'd bring
them home and you and me maybe
wouldn't be so lonesome"
Lonesome ?" Mr.. Weinberg laughed.

back in her chair, relieved.
"Rachel!" Mr.. Weinberg was as
tonished. "Our Leo ashamed of his
mother and father!" He could not
resist short laugh. "Why should he
be ashamed? His father amt been in
Jail, has he. Or his mother don't
steal, does she? Or maybe yet he
should be ashamed because his
mamma and papa fight and di-
vorce they want? You make me
laugh"
1T don't mean that way" Mrs.
Weinberg replied. 81 mean maybe
he's ashamed because we amt so
swell, and I don't wear maybe such
fine clothes as Mrs. Abrams, and he
don't have big car. Maybe he's
ashamed because we never went to
school,"
Cali the prouder he should bel" Mr.
saves to send him to college. All the
prouder he should be that the money
goes for his education than on his
mammals back. In five years from
now, maybe you won't have that silk
dress I should buy for that money.
Torn, maybe it will be. But Leo, he'll
nave HIS cuuCdClOIl GIlu IIlcU Ills IlOCIl-
er will have dress that he buys for
her, because she does without it now.
Then you get up and say to Mrs.
Abrams, Now l got both. A silk
dress | have, and mine son is a doc
tor. Maybe not so soon get mine as
you, Mrs. Abrams, but now Pm glad.'
Amt it mammal" Mr.. Weinberg
seemed to be we'll satisfied with his
Grafton.
"Maybe it is" Mrs. Weinberg shook
her head sadly, "but I guess maybe
Leo don't know that now He would
like us to have it now, too. Only last
night he says to me, Mamma, you're
getting gray. Maybe you could die
your hair Do you hear that? Dye,
he tells me to use. Then he says, 4
wish you and papa would read more
books, so you can say things edu-
cated.'"
ooh, mamma, don't get insulted
right off. Leo wants us to know
things"
Don't I read the Ladies' Home
Journal when it comes every month?
That's where I got that good chocolate
cake"
"It was good" Mr.. Weinberg made
all eIIOrC TO cnange the SUBJECT, "DuC
they ought to have you make one for
them, mamma. They'd sell more
magazines"
'There you go, always trying to
make me feel good. You're a good
husband, Max"
maybe not so good, but -" The
ringing of the door bell interrupted
his sentence. Mrs. Weinberg started.
Company we're getting" Mrs.
Weinberg said. "Put on your shoes,
Max" Mrs. Weinberg rushed around
feverishly Strengthening the room
bit before she went to the door. Mr..
Weinberg pulled on his shoes, wish
ing the prospective visitors many
blessings. He had finished lacing one
when he heard his wife's voice in the
hall.
"Why, Mrs. Abrams, come right in
and Mr.. too. For why you didn't
call me up and say you come tonight?
Take off your coat, Mr.. Abrams, and
go right into the living-room. Mr..
Weinberg'll be so glad to see you."

wants he should be lawyer, but I
want he shall be doctor. A doctor
takes more brains than lawyer"
Zach, yes, Mrs. Weinberg, maybe
So" replied Mrs. Abrams, 'but it's a
long time yet before your Leo goes
to college,"
"But the years go quick" replied
Mrs. Weinberg, "and when they are
little, we think of them, what they
shall be when they are big"
"Well, mine husband wants his two
sons shall help him in the business.
No education he had, but money he
makes. Look at that young Jewish
professor at the college. Little enough
he gets. Mine boys will better be
able to raise a family than the pro-
fessor. Children need lots of things,
and money is what counts"
"But mine Leo is such smart boy"
Mrs. Weinberg argued. Ellis father
saves now so he can send him to col
lege and then when we are old, we
take it easy"
"Don't be so sure, Mrs. Weinberg.
After they are married, they think
only of themselves. They forget the
ones that raised them. I know.
Look at my sister, Sadie. Her boy
runs away and gets married, and
never once has he come home to see
his mother. Ach, don't be sure"
"Well, mine Leo is a good boy. His
papa and me, we raise him right, and
proud We'll be of him yet, some day."
ayes, we have so many hopes when
they are young" said Mrs. Abrams,
"but when they are grown. Little
ones, little troubles; big ones, big
troubles. And so it goes"
Thus Mrs. Weinberg and Mrs.
Abrams discussed the futures of their
children ten years ago. They had
planned and hoped as millions of other
mothers have done and will do for
countless years. With some, the
plans and hopes come to naught, while
others receive realization.
Through those ten years of her
boys life between the ages of twelve
and twenty-five Mrs. Weinberg had
watched and worshipped him. Through
those same ten years Mr.. Weinberg
had set aside goodly sum each year
which was to go towards making their
sole heir and child, doctor. Through
years of planning they had come, and
were now seeing the maturing realiz-
alton. Leo had three years of college
behind him, and was we'll on the road
to his career. He was brilliant fell
low, and it was little wonder that his
mother proudly spoke of him to all
her friends.
"The girls are all crazy for him."
she remarked one day to a neighbor.
"When he calls one up, she can't sleep
for nights. Mine Leo is some boy.
He's invited to all the parties and
dances, and such marks as he gets.
Why he don't take one examination.
He's so smart"
II.
On the evening when our story be-
gins to assume an interesting aspect,
Mrs. Weinberg had taken her o'clock
station at the front window to watch
her son and husband come home to-
gether. AS she saw them turn the
corner, her heart swelled with pride,
as she remarked to herself, taller
than his father he is, mine boy"
The usual greetings took place at
the door, Leo kissing his mother
soundly on each cheek, a nightly Gus
tom of his.

plant so that at seconds notice they
can be started in case anything hap
pens to put both the boilers in the new
plant out Of commission. .5
n, What is A Kilowatt?
The books of the plant show that
from March l, 1920 to March 1, 1921
the plant produced l 1,1O4, $50 Nlowatt.
Hours and from March 1921 to March
1922 the figures are !, ,145, ,72O Kilowatt'
hours, an increase Of about Al, 900
KiloWatt Hours. A sKilowatt Hour
means m sufficient electricity to burn a
fifty watt light for twenty hours.
In other words if you allow your fifty
watt light to burn stea dily one day and
night you burn up little more than
one Of the 1,145,720 Kilowatt Hours
delivered by the plant in year.
What a Motor Uses.
" # you have a one horse motor it
will use as much current in 1.3 hours
as your SO watt light will use in twenty
hours. If you have a small motor,
one suitable for running q wash ma
chine you will find that it uses about
twice as much current as your. SO watt
light. s., t., 4
Mr. Huevelmann tells us that quite
a number Of people order motors which
aresof greater capacity than is needed
for the work that they have to do.
It would be a wise idea for any one
who is installing motor machinery to
consult with the city. engineer before
placing the order as that will result in
a saving, both to the consumer and to
the plant.
The power capacity of the plant
has been increased since last
year. by the addition OF a 75O Kilo-
watt unit. The old plant was equipped
with one unit, $50 Kilowatt capacity
and second unit Of 312 Kilowatts,
making total of 462 Kilowatts. The
addition Of the new unit gives the plant
a capacity of 1912 Kilowatts; in other
words the plant can supply consumers
with 1912 Kilowatts at all times. This
means an increase of 100 per cent and
should be sufficient to take care. Of the
city's needs for quite a while. n, L
