By the Associated Press.

Charred remnants of newspapers that

hours were discovered stuffed be-
tween suits Of clothes in the shop of
Gilbert Clothes. in the downtown re-
tail section. when firemen broke into
the place yesterday to eXtinguiSh a
blaze that was spreading rapidly.
Fire Chief Petty expressed the
opinion that the fire was of incen-
diary origin and requested a police
investigation.

respectively, manager and assistant
manager of the store and the only
persons known to have had keys to
it, were questioned for more ethan
two hours. Each declared he had not
been in the building since closing

clared they found no evidence that

Popular Pin Design Faulty"

The horseshoe tie pin, of which
many specimens will be seen, was
originally made as a good luck piece
of jewelry, but, strangely enough, it's
design is such as to thwart any good
luck superstition the wearer may
have. The pins are almost always
made SO that the points are down
when worn, whereas the points should
be up for good luck's sake, say good
fortune experts"

Matchmakers Need Forests.

So many matches are made annu-
ally in the United States that it has
long been profitable for match manu-
facturers to own their own forest or
timber tracts. An Ohio match con-
Germ has just built it's own logging
railroad to bring out 100000 feet
year, much of which the match
manufacturing plants will use.

Police Dogs Not Part Wolf.

Police dogs are often supposed to
be descended from wolves, but this
is not SO. They are directly descend
ed from peaceful German shepherd
dogs. The fact that there have been
no wolves in France since 1888 makes
the theory that they are part wolf
absurd, scientists say.

The prompt payment discount is
changed from 5 per cent to 10 per
cent on the total bin.
Other changes and reductions in
industrial rates are effected in three
classes Of rates similar in applica-
ton to the foregoing class.
Fines Are Recalled
The commission order declares
that it finds that the existing rates,
regulations. acts, practices and
measurements of said company are
unreasonable and unjustly discrim-
inatory, and especially so in the de-
mand charge" Both companies re-
Gently paid $4,000 fines when the
commission sued them on grounds
Of discrimination in applying the de-
mand charge.
Exceptions to the rates ordered
are suburban service, munich

utilities and service to electric
steel companies. It is ordered, how,

ule for suburban service.
Competition on Service.
The commission pointed TO the
fact that there was competition as
to service only and that while there
are two utilities supplying electric
service, there is no legitimate com
petition between them as to the rates
which they may lawfully charge.
The only competition that legally
does or may exist between them IS
the wholesome competition OF which
can render the best and most salts
factory service. The suggestion Of
a cut-rate is the suggestion Of law
violation. Neither utility can cut
the prescribed rate without violating
the law and becoming liable for
heavy penalty therefore. ANY pa
tron who accepts a cut OF the pre-.
scribed rate IS equally guilty Of VIC
latiug the law and Is also liable TO
penalty for such violation"
