Washington's power problem,
which through a score of years
has been mooted and debated, at
times arousing bitter feeling. is
again in the limelight. A favor

gress for plan to give Washing

Conditions Peculiar.
Conditions in Washington are
quite peculiar, by comparison with
those found in other municipalities
In the matter Of utilities, the CAPT.
tai City holds a unique position, due
chiefly to the fact that the prevail

operation, in itself a huge enter

Government, either directly or in

1t Is but natural and highly
proper that the Federal Government
should follow the example set by
all modern employers, and seek tc
tighten the common burdens of It's
employees as much as possible, par.
ticularly where a higher efficiency
will result from such acts. Every
thing reasonable should be done by
the Government to reduce the cost

at the same time consistent and

name of the organization was changes
from the st. Cook AZr.el.'graI aal
Commercial Association, to the ST.
CroiX Chamber OF C9mmerca'. The an
ticIes Of Incorporation and by laws were
adopted and a few more officers nOmina-

81 votes, Mr.. Claude Markoe Asst. Sec
rotary with 81 votes and Messrs. H.

bers of the Executive Committee with
46 votes respectively. Suggestions regard
ing the primary WOrk of the Organiza-
tion were declared in order by the
Chairman but without discussion as
a matter of human feeling verbal sug-
g%estions will bring on discussions. The
Chairman on account OF fOrseen heated
argument, adjourned the meeting some
time after IL o'clock.
We believe that If The Chairman of the
organization will rule according to Par
llamentary procedure in future meet
ings and SO keep out all political contr0-
verSleS on their respective platforms and
instead Of being obstructiOnists and
dr0nes to the progress and merits of the
organization the goal that is aimed al
will be reached. Men Of words are ore

the following helpful: Instead Of hav.

presence of something she did not un'
derstand.
But my common sense told me
that while his first query concerning
her reasons for staying in our apart
ment while We were away was per-
fectly natural one. the last one was
strained and justified my suspicion
that he wished TO learn Lillian's atfi'
tude toward the Marks family, and
their beautiful protege. Mollie Faw'
cett.
There must he no hint OF my sus'
plcion in my answer. however

why should she do any sleuth

you're prejudiced against the Markses
but I think you're wrong, and I'm
sure Lillian hasn't seen anything
amiss with them What opportunity
has she had to observe them, even II
she had any suspicion concerning
them?'
"Prejudiced against them. IL
Dickey retorted, patiently seizlnf
upon the words which struck him
forcibly. Where dyou get that
stuff? Because / didn't take to the

the idea of Lillian investigating the
Marks family was not only distaste'
ful to him. but actually alarmed him
All the suspicious engendered by
Dickey's absorbed interest in Mollit
Fawcett-suspicions which I deter
n1inedly had crushed, scoring myself
savseely for what | termed my
senseless jealousy-sprang suddenly
into hydra-headed life again.
What did Dicky know concerning
the doings of the family in the rear,
and how had he obtained the knowl.
edge? OF course. I realized that
there was no element of considera'
ton for the Marks family in the con
Germ he was unconsciously manifest
ing. But that he was genuinely
concerned over Llllian's possible in
vestigakons was evident. and there
was but one possible conclusion
There must be something queer on
foot, to put 1t mildly-something In
which Mollie Fawcett was invols ed
and my husband knew what II ~a'
and feared for her.
My memory flsw.back to the night
when Dicky had come home with a
wound upon his head bound up with
hsndkerchefs and scarf which ]
later had discovered to be Mollie Faw

Difficult indeed, was IT for me to
hold my temper and my poise and

that I would gain no informat ton by
anger. Besides, within few min

Mrs. H.: Though clergymen OF

for conducting funeral services, either

often given by persons who wish to
express substantial thanks for the
favor and consolation conferred. What

later TO the cemetery. and finally back
home In the Catholic church the
fees for conducting funerals are fixed.
and are learned by inquiry at the yes
try of the church.
In the case of a church funeral. a
fee is necessary for the sexton who
opens the church; the organists and
vocalists must be paid for their serv-
ices; and carriages must be provided
to convey not only the members OF
the family and relatives. but also the
pallbearers and such near friends as
the occasion and special circumstan-
ces dictate to the church and after
ward to the cemetery.
G. B.: We must know our own
minds and find out what our ambi-
tions, yearnings. desires are. And
then when we have discovered wha t
we need to fulfill our lives we must
make up our minds TO earn them by
steady. earnest, unremitting effort.
No one can make anything of her
life unless she is fairly sure what she
wants to make of it. No one can be
sure what she wants to make of her

not mere gaiety and thrill and ex-

And SO unless you learn to know
your own mind you can't know your
