sonable rate Of return on the value Of
the property at the time of the in
vestigation and for a reasonable time
in the immediate future"
UphoIds Per Cent Minimum
The majority took the view that
public utilities are entitled to a re-
turn of not less than per cent be-
cause values of utilities fiuctuate and
owners must bear the decline.
Referring to former decision de-
claring that to ascertain value in rate
making the present as compared with
the original cost of construction we're
among other matters for consideration
the court explained that this did not
mean that the original cost or the
present cost or some figure arbitrarily
chosen between these two is to be
taken as the measure" The weight
to be given figures and other items
or classes of evidence must be deter
mined, 1t stated. 'in the light of the
facts of the case in hand"
The court placed valre of not
less than $4,000 600 on the Indianapo-
lis Water Co. and found that an that
value the rates fixed by the Indiana
utilities commission were too low.
Justice Brandeis, in delivering the
minority opinion. asserted that repro
duction cost was not conclusive evi
dence Of values, and said the Supreme
Court had so held in unanimous de-
cisions.

NEW YEARS THEN AND
NOW

AS long as people can remember,
there have been New Year parties
The old Romans gave theirs in honor
Of Janus, the two-faced god. One
face looked back at the old, spent
year, and one face looked forward
to the new, fresh year. They gave
presents to him and to each other
with the hope that the new year
would be good to them. Some OF
the people who lived long ago waited
until the end of March to celebrate
the New Year, since that was the
time that the trees and grass began
new life.

beard.
The wheeling Independent School
District has Just installed complete
private branch exchange switchboard
system for the instruction Of students
Of the commercial business depart
ment. 1t is believed to be the first
installation Of it's kind IN the United
states. The PIX serves twelve ex-
tension telephones located throughout
the school. Students act as operators
and business men and women. In
this way, they are instructed in the
proper methods OF transacting bust
ness by telephone.
Ben e. Hamilton, business manager
pfr the school, is largely responsible
for the installation which has just
been completed by the Chesapeake
and Potomac Telephone Company OF
West Virginia under the supervision
OF Fred r. Dunning, manager.

SIS When the business man next saw
Mr.. Hamilton he inquired if it would

more he was convinced that it would
be a departure from the customary
trend Of commercial training now in
vogue in public, high schools, but was
something with which everyone should
be thoroughly familiar.
After Mr.. Hamilton had approached
telephone officials with his proposition
he was ready to diyulge his secret to

No voter who calls himself independent and who
has no party preference would vote for him. He
might refuse to vote at all. But he would not vote
for Watson.
If the Democratic convention names a real can

If it puts up a candidate who must enter the
race Extensively or alphabetically, the chance is
greatly reduced.

And certainly If Frank Daley, who helped to

politics for the delegates to draft one Of these

WHY PICK ON A DEAD COVE

For fftyyears Mrs OLearys famous COW has
been the most celebrated bovine in this country's
history. Mrs. OLeary's COW, you will recall was
in 1871 by the simple expedient of kicking over her
mistress coal-oil lamp.
But recently there have been attacks the
thentictv of the story; implications that it is just
another myth, pleasant sounding fancy, an old
wives tale.
Writes man to say that Mrs. OLearys COW
started fire on a Saturday night, which was put
out, the great fire starting late Sunday night in
section far removed from bossy's shed Writes an
other say that the whole yarn is constructed from
applesauce.
Luckily Mrs. OLeary's notorious animal is dead,
withstand these attacks on her integrity. One can
picture the look of mild reproach in her soft brown
eyes as demon literalist approaches with documen-
tary evidence and. with accusing finger pointed at

mond locket and chain.
Her next public appearance was
with Browns Military Band at a
concert at the Gaiety Theater in Bos-
ton. She was then but five years of
age and she sang, standing on top
Of plano, accompanied by the band.
She made such a hit that on May
3, 1879. her parents signed a con-
tract with Murphy & Marlborough
for CorInne to star in a miniature
opera company. With this organiza-
ton she sang the role Of Little But
tercup in "Pinafore" $50 times.
After a tour through the New
England States and Canada, Corinne
was engaged by DIR. d. c. Hess to
play the title role in the opera Gin

alter in Washington. D. c., she was
signally honored by President Gar
