SOUTH BEND. - Clinging to the

swept out to sea from here recently

high tide was higher than it had
been for a year, and when young

the beach, the rips were bearing him
oceanward at a rate of twenty miles
an hour. Five motor launches put
out in an effort to rescue the lad,

racing whitcaps and the gathering
gloom. The boy and a companion,
Oliver Back, thirteen, went duck
hunting in the old boat after school.
Returning at dusk, the unseaworthy

managed to kick off one of his boots,

to a log boom. Almost exhausted,
he crawled to the beach and spread

LUCY STONE LEAGUE OPPOSES COMPTROLLER

S. Jones, so long as they go to the
person entitled to them. 1t is absurd
for the government to interfere in a
question of taste that has no relation
whatever to the service performed,
that involves no deception and puts
officials to no inconvenience. The
business about names smacks of es-
pionage; it looks like yellow tape rath-
er than red.
Names are for identifcations in the
eyes of the law. In business trans
actions married woman's signature
in her maiden name is valid She is
under no compulsion to take her hus-
bands name. On his part, he may
change his name if he chooses, and
the papers that he signs in his new
style carry a legal obligation. All
that the law asks is that a person
within it's Jurisdiction shall bear a
recognizable tag.
Women who refuse to be welded to
name are entitled to have their SEN
timent respected. 1t seems childish
to attempt to prevent them from re-
tanning a symbol of independence
upon which they set an extraordinary
value.

Wayside Farm Has It's Own System
to Beat Shortage of Farm Hands.
It was peppers that the famous Peter
Piper is said to have picked, but these
are peaches picked by certain princesses,
which is almost as alliterative and much
more appealing.
Edna Stocker and Edythe Vega make
a business of helping to manufacture
telephone apparatus at the Kearny
works of the Western Electric Com
pany. As an avocation, picking peaches
is strong favorite in season. This
proves that life is not all brass tacks
for the girls who devote their energies
to business and industry-some of it is
peaches.
This scene is at Wayside Farms, near
Lebanon, N. j., where Mrs. Frank
Welsh is hostess. There is plenty of
fruit Cat the time this picture was
taken 500 baskets we're being picked
daily, but there is apt to be scarcity
of pickers, and Mrs. Welsh enlists her
friends. Radio adds the ultimate touch
OF entertainment, so that even peach
picking is not immune from loud

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
By George T. Hughes
xZIXH-Custom Ownership.

One of the most encouraging de-
velop1nents of the times in the invest
ment business is the spread of the
customer ownership idea. So far this
new plan has been confined to the
public utilities, principally the cleo
! trio light and power and the gas COM
panies. It used to be the custom when
a public utility needed new capital
and they are continually in need of
new capital-for the officers to go TO
the bankers and sell securities, stock
| if possible and bonds if necessary.
This financing, however, was done in
the great centers such as Wall street,
where new capital is to be had. The
Ipeople who bought the service the
public utility had to sell had nothing
to do with financing. The new idea IS
to go direct to the utilitys customers
when new money is needed. OF course,
1T cannot all be raised this way or
even the larger part. But enough can
be done, as has been abundantly
proved, to give the customers of the
utility direct and personal interest
in its welfan. For the most part the
securities sold have been in the form
of preferred stock, and generally the
statesmen have been the employees Of
the company. From the corporations
standpoint the plan has proved
success not only in developing new
source of capital, but in cultivatinG
a spirit of good will in the community
which has very real, If intangible,
value. From the standpoint of the
customer owner the plan has proved
beneficial in that he has been able I"
obtain a sound security with reason
able return and one with the prog
lress of which he is able to keep III
close touch. The amount of money
which can be raised in this way Is
far beyond the estimates made by
those who first suggested the plan. II
has also resulted in keeping for the
community the capital which might
otherwise have been dissipated IN
buying fraudulent promotion stocks.
1t has met the criticism that oppor-
tunities for the safe investment or
small sums have been lacking be
cause it was too expensive for in
vestment bankers to cater to the In
vestor who had only one hundred dol
lars spare capital. The public utility
can well afford this expense in re-
turn for the cooperation they Sc
cure from their customers.
