The phenomenal gain Of the electric
light and power business in Indiana
and the United States is probably the
most outstanding development of the
industrial world during the last
twelve months. The rapidly growing
population, development of the nu-
merous manufacturing enterprises ana
new uses for electricity have created
a demand upon the light and power
companies that is taxing the manage
ment and engineering departments to
the utmost.

The use of electrical devices and con

face tremendous requirements in the

INTERSTATE GIVES
BETTER SERVICE
New Passenger Schedule
Benefits Patrons,

According to Bert Weldon, general
traffic manager of the Interstate. the
new communication passenger schedule
between Indianapolis and Franklin
and all Intervening stops which be-
came effective the first of this month
will add much to the convenience of
passengers. Commuters tickets will
be sold for fifty-four trips at the rate
of 1 cent a mile. The Interstate oper-
ates between twenty-five and thirty
cars each way daily between Indian.
apOlis and Franklin.
The company is arranging details
Of establishing a freight line into the
Bourbon stockyards at Louisville.
This will probably be completed by
the middle of June. This will do
much to further business relations
between the Indianapolis and the
Louisville yards
The Interstate is expecting to han.
die a bumper fruit crop this year. as
all indications now point to a very
heavy yield. The melon crop Of this
section Of the country, the large par,
Of which is handled by Interstate. is
also expected to sUrpass that of any
previous year.

Written for United Financial
NEW YORK. May 2S.-While un-
certainty as to the future trend Of
business still exists, there has been
a marked decrease in pessimim
among New York business men
during the last day or two. Prob
ably the chief factor in this change
has been favorable foreign develop
ments.
The outstanding news Of the week
is undoubtedly the Austrian loan. J.
p Morgan has issued a statement
that various powers are Joining in
making a loan of 100000 600 to that
country and that $25000,OO0 will be
raised.
AS a creditor nation, and one with
enormous gold holdings it is to Our
interest to strengthen our foreign
debtors. This cannot be wisely done
by Government loans, but should be
done with carefully secured bonds for
individual investors on a business
basis. and by commercial credits In
these ways we can help restore the
sadly deranged balance of trade and
rates of exchange with Europe.
Further study of the change in our
balance of trade, marked by an ex-
cess of imports over exports, has con
vinced most observers that 1t is q
favorable development and promises a
gradual return to normal trade re
turns.
Another feature is the brighter
prospect for a settlement of the con,
troversy between England and Rus

called out for interference
