LEWIS DECLARES NEWSPAPER
ADVERTISING POINTS THE WAY

Newspaper advertising and other
legitimate publicity has been the mag
ic key that has everywhere unlocked
for the utilities the door to public un-
derstanding and friendliness,' declar-
ed George E Lewis Of Denver. execu-
tive manager Of the Rocky Mountain
committee on Public Utility Informa-
tdon. Mr.. Lewis was in Delta to con-
fer with executives of the local utili-
tiles which are affiliated with his or
ganization.
Zone might naturally suppose that
good telephone, electric or other pub
lie utility service speak for them
selves; that those receiving it appre-
ciate it so keenly that it's usefulness
and dependableness need not be i'm
pressed. For that matter a merchant
carrying a good line of wares might
just as well keep silent on their
merits-snub the newspapers when it
comes to advertising and gamble on
folks hlindly stumbling onto the fact
that his goods are the sort of goods
that they want.
poou ulllllS stTNlCe has -UeCOut
SO matter-offact. so wholly expected,
that people accept it thoughtlessly,
| like the air they breathe. For that
reason the privately owned public
| utilities today are beginning to ad-
vertise and are employing other
methods of giving publicity to their
| service, as well as to their affairs,
about which the people should have
full knowledge.
'If public service institutions are
to render the sort of service the peo-
pie expect, if they are to continue to
expand to keep pace with the needs
| OF the communities they serve, they
must continually borrow money. The
money they receive through monthly
bills is not sufficient to permit ex-
pansion, hence it becomes necessary
for them to constantly borrow. But
where their credit is impaired by lack
of public good will, and support they
cannot obtain money from those who
have money to lend. Consequently.
those who would benefit by increased
service, suffer.
uoIlt dIe
by the state, cannot charge more for
their service than will permit just a
fair return on the value of the prop
erty they devote to public use. How
ever, contrary conviction prevails
in some quarters. 1t is through such
organizations as the one I represent
and through various legitimate pub
licity channels which it employs, that
we must impress this fact and similar
facts upon the people in order to OBJ
tain their support and understanding.
After all, it is the people who chiefly
benefit through the exercise of friend
liness and fairness toward their utili-
ties. For next to their clothes, the
public utilities touch folks closer than
anything else-with the possible ex-
ception of food.

acting on the, theory that a woman
was concerned in the girls death and

nation she was placed in the county
Jail. Her husband, stepfather of Mrs.

nation helpful to the authorities.

pointed out investigators are working
on the theory that the letters were
planted" to furnish false cew and
that a woman for reasons not yet
known either was the slayer or was
instrumental in having the crime

his funds gave out December 6. He
then became chargeable as pauper.

acute indigestion while on board his
yacht Laola, in Port Jefferson harbor
l.. l., late last night. He had been
on a cruise with the feet and had on
his craft members of his family.
1t is believed that the trouble with
which he had suffered for two days,
but from which he apparently had
recovered, was due to partaking of a
"hot dog roast" at Lloyds Harbor
earlier In the week, when number
of yachting parties were entertained.
Last night, Mr.. Wilcox appeared in
good health. About II o'clock Mrs.
Wilcox called his attention to the ar
rival alongside of a houseboat. She
noticed that he was distressed in
breathing and in few minutes he
was dead. A physician stated acute
indigestion was the cause.
Was 65 Years Old

Rev. and Mrs. Frederick Neidermeyer,
son-in-law and daughter, a son,
CIaud Wilcox and q grandson, Rob-
ert, and Miss Bernice Nettleton. Mr..
Wilcox was aged 65. native of Ann
Arbor, Mich, and one of the or
ganizers of the Milford Yacht club.
The millinery house of which he was
the head is one of the gargest in the
country devoted exclusively to mil
linery.

Port Jefferson this morning with
Commodore Joseph Roland of the

French Take Exception to State
ment Of German Payments
Big DIFFERENCE IN ACCOUNTS
StresemaIm's Claim of Forty-Two Bill
lion Gold Marks Paid, Wrong---Fig-
ure That Billion Has Been Turned
Over.
BY The Associated PresG.

BY The Associated PresG
| Paris, Aug. 25.--Exception is taken
here to the reparation figures given
by Chancellor Stresemann of Ger
many in his speech yesterday based
on an estimate by the Washington
institute of economics thst Germany
had already paid q total indemnity
of between 25 and 26 billion gold
marks. 1t was declared at the head
quarters of the reparation commits
sion today that the institutes esti-
mate undoubtedly was based on an
erroneous Interpretation of the treaty
Of Versailles.
Where Difference Comes
The difference between the repara-
ton commissions credits to Germany
of about 5000, 100000 gold marks in
round figures and the $4,000, 900, 900
gold marks which DR.. Stresemann
claims as the total value of the de-
liveries in kind and payments in
cash, consists largely of resolutions"
it was said, which under the treaty
are regarded simply as offsetting arti-
cles and products carried out of the
allied territories by the Germans
during the war.
Cannot Be Counted
These restitutions, a high official
of the commission asserted, had I'M
doubtedly been charged to the repa-
rations account at Berlin but they
could not enter into the total re-
ceived by the allies and the amount
claimed by Germany for the mer-
chant fleet aggregating 100000 tons
which was turned over to the VIC
torious powers.
