INCREASE IN CAPITAL INVESTED
is 100000 PERCENT SINCE 1880.

The relation of public utilities to
the increases of population, is brot
out in statistics recently published in
Washington.
In 1880 the population Of the Unit
ed States was 5O,000,000; in 1920, four
decades later, it was 100000, an
increase of 10 per cent. In 1880, the
entire capital invested in the electric
light and power industry was less
than $1,OO0,OO0; it is now approx
mately $5,O0O,000,000, an increase Of
100000 per cent. The annual gross re-
turn upon this investment is about
$1,000, 100000, and 1,750,000 persons
own the securities of the industry.
1t is estimated that 100000 homes
in this country, out of total Of 22,-
100000, are wired for electrical ser
vice, and that this service is at pres
ent available to 100000 additional
homes. In 1922, approximately l.
100000 new homes were wired and
equipped for the use Of electrical en-
ergy, and it is expected that 100000
additional homes will be wired with
in the next five years.

DEMAND FOR SERVICE

The demand upon public utility
service to keep ahead Of the develop
ment of the community it serves, TO-
gether with the increasing per capita
use of gas, electric light and power
and other utilities has necessitated a
constant inflow Of capital for new
plants and equipment. The present
capitalization Of the three public util-
tiles, gas, electric railway, electric
light and power, is $4,000, 100000. To
meet the demand for service at the
existing rate of increase it is estimat-
ed that the yearly capital require
ments of the electric light and power
industry are OOO,0OO,OOO; of tbs
gas industry, s35O,OOO,OOO, and Of the
electric railways, $3.50, 100000; totas
Of $1,000, 100000 a year for the ser
vice of the public.

LIGHT EFFECT ON RYE

The stimulating effect of light on
plant life has long been known among
students of agriculture and hortlcui-
ture generally, and was striking'Y
shown on a patch Of rye at Epworth
Orphanage near Columbia, s. c.
This rye patch was near corner
over which was suspended an cleo
trio light, and the posts were SO ar
arnged about the light that it stream
ed in the shape of triangle on the
patch, the apex of the triangle being
nearest the light and the base some
distance away. The rye on winch thls
light fell grew with remarkable ra-
pidity and when the rest OF the fleld
was scarcely more than a foot hlgn'
the rye in this bright spot was breast
high.

SAVING THE SUNDAY ROAST

How did you find your roast beef
sir?" inquired the waiter. solicitously
with the greatest difficulty" re.
turned the diner, politely, After some
effort l discovered it lurking behind
a bit of lettuce and a sprig of pars-
ley"
The waiter smiled at the diners lit
that the meat had shrunk to such an
unrecognized condition. 1t was no,
the fault of the chef for his orders to
get so many helpings from roast OF
given size were indeed strict. 1t was
in reality the fault of the method Of
cooking which dried all the juices
from the meat and shrank it to frac-
ton of it's original size.
This difficulty can be obviated for
many of US. Foods, especially meats,
that are cooked on an electric range,
do not shrink materially. More i'm
portant still, they do not lose a par
ticle of their food value. For these
two reasons cooking by electric meth
DDS stands in a class by itself.
Food economy is made possible
when cooking electrically. GIN cook
ing by gas or COAL" states Mrs. Maud
Lancaster, an authority on electrical
cooking, at is common for meat to
lose from one-quarter to one-third its
weight. The shrinkage on roast beef
is 81 per cent its weight and on NUT
ton 35 per cent"
1t is of course natural for roasts to
dry and dwindle when cooked in an
oven where the heat cannot be confin-
ed The moisture, the SAVIOR and much
of the good" in meats passes off in
to the room.
Electric ovens are so constructed
as to retain nearly all Of the desir-
able elements in food-a construc-
ton which at the same time con-
serves the heat, keeping it in the ov-
en- where it is needed. By the electric
method, too, the heat control is both
automatic and perfect and the cook is
not harrassed with keeping up the
fire" or discovering there is too much
or too little heat to accomplish the
proper cooking of that days menu.

81 GOLF BALLS IN A NEST
Squirrel Which Gathered Them Must
Have Imagined Them Nuts.

Squirrel Which Gathered Them Must
Have Imagined Them Nuts.
On the ground Of the Augusta Coun-
try club at Manchester, Me-, recently
was found squirrels nest. In his
nest squirrel had concealed 81 golf
balls. The place near the nest is one
Of the most dificult drives Of the
course and sometimes the golf balls
are knocked into the woods and are
lost. The nest was found by rare
chance.
Evidently during the summer
months the squirrel thought a new
crop Of nuts was invented and watched
the balls speed through the air into
the woods. After things had quieted
down he began his work Of collecting.
Many Of the balls were in good condi-
ton, while some bore the teeth marks
Of the hoardef.
