.CAPPER BEHIND
MERGER BILL

A QUESTIONABLE relating to the
local traction companies soon will
be submitted to the Public Utilities
Commission by Senator Capper.
chairman of the Senate District
Committee.
The rate of return which the
companies are earning on their
own valuations. and also the pres
ent earnings of the Potomac Elec-
trio Power Company, are the
points upon which Senator Capper,
wants specific information.
Reports have reached the Senate
District Committee that the Pepco
earnings for the closing fiscal year
viii reach as high as IL per cent
upon its own valuation; and that
the recent cut in electric light rate
will not greatly affect this excessive
rate of return. n
Information sought by Senator
Copper also includes statistics as
to whether the present traction
rates could be reduced without 60
Ing below a fair rate of return to
the companies.
The merger bill submitted to the
House and Senate by the Public
Utilities Commission is likely to be
completely overhauled before being
passed by either chamber. Various
methods OF bringing about a com
pulsory consolidation are row being
considered.
One of the forms of legislation
suggested is to give the two trac-
ton companies six months grace in
which to bring lbout volunta, y
consolidation, with the threat OF
charter revocation at the end of
that period. Although this legasla-
ton would probably throw the whole
issue into the courts, it is felt in
some quarters that an ultimate
settlement could be reached on
this basis.

But they both lay stiff and wide
eyed, and each knew that the other
was awake and what the other
thought.
Douglas is crazy about you, Jude.
He thinks you're the only girl in the
world"
Tears that felt like warm blood
crept down Judith's temples to the
pillow.
And I'm crazy about him in that
kind of way"
Sandy shut her lips. 1T would
kill her to lose him-I'n have to help
it along 1 can"

she came from work. He drove up
to the curb, stopped the car. Get In,

that jaunty, glowing look. He
winked at Sandy. And she flushed

a bright, steely light.

dark.

"Oh. nice boy. Didn't you say

wonder why?"
"Oh, do you? 1 think he's awfully
handsome"
Not at all. He's sparkling-clean
looking in a way"
Judith thought: She's hedging
she fell for him. She's trying me
out"
And Sandy thought: Poor Jude!
She's so mad about him she couldn't
see the Prince of Wales. And he
never even thinks of her in such a
way. Lord, he's magnetic!"
She turned over restlessly, saying,

confronted her. She shivered-she
could have screamed out with repug

Then itlwas Ramon, and the blood
flew in a burning tide to Sandy's
neck. What would he think If he
knew of that? She saw his young
fine, honest eyes, and pulled the
sheet up to her chin.

"Well, did I pick him right"

''IIe seems very nice"

"Well, I'm not sure"
Judith's heart thumped, almost
with anguish.
you're not as clear as you used
to be-"
''Not the transparent pool ms OF
yore, Doug? But that ought to make
me delightful!--a few fascinating
lights and shadows add to the lure
even of a brook
with any one but me, ole dear
You shouldn't try to hoodwink your
old twin. But you're there on the
looks tonight-you're there mil

hates insipid girls"
From all accounts seem to have
been turned out to the dot to suit
the prince Of men! 1 mean to do
my darndest, Doug!'
Then she added, teasingly: ITO
get what I'm affekl"
They went to Taits. Judith, low
ing music and rhythm, felt her
spirits rise-go bubbling and soar
ing. She thought: II have the soul
of a street gamin-there's a rowdy
streak in me. How I'd love to dash
in there and dance like a wild
woman!
And she imagined that only her
training-the lifelong discipline that
had insisted that she keep her feer
firmly planted on reallty-"that she
act like a sensible person and be
thankful she had the use of all her
limbs''-that only this, kept her from
mad. reckless extremes Of gayety.
Judith would have been very
fascinating person if she could blurt
out all the breezy, caprlcious things
she thought and felt. But her whole
personality was bottled up. Her re
actions were violent, but suppressed
from outward expression.
SO she passed for q quiet, rather
obscure girl. Not even her own fam
lily guessed the storm and passion
imprisoned behind those ardent, pur-
pie eyes.
But tonight Judith laughed. Be-
cause she cared nothing whatever
for Hal Hume, the young doctor
Douglas chose as her husband, she
became even a little f1irtatious-un-
conscious of this.
Hume was pleasant with a quiet
winning manner. He was rather
short, with a fine, open face; black
smooth hair and dark, rich eyes
When he laughed the bland seren
ity Of his features gave place to g
lighted merriment. Then one saw
that behind this gentle kindliness
was a broad vein Of willy humor.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER LXXVIII


Sandy stood q moment, her hand
on the knob, her profile in the moon
light etched against the door panel
with pale, haunting charm.
AS her companion went down tho
steps she saw Judith's embarrassed
pause, and smiled. 'ITome so soon,

We got home none too soon."
Judith turned scarlet, but Sandy
raised her brows with gay insolence
almost too soon, I'd say. But I'll
not pay you back this time. The
darkness is yours"
AS she turned to go Douglas, his
eyes twinllling, said: wait, won't
you? We're taking you out Thurs
day night"
"Oh," a faint color frightened San
dy's pale cheeks; "flx 1t up with
Jude. I'm not sure I can CO."
Judith now stood with her back
turned, the big violet hat hiding her
face.
"Some girl! I thought you were
making it up about her, Jude"
NO one could exaggerate Sandy,
co,,IJ +6o1y nO1U2b
Gee, what a pipl Carried 1t off
with eclat, didn't she?"
Judith gave faint, tremulous
laugh: "If I'd been in her place, I'd
be lying there stone dead now"
''She knows better, Jude, ole dear.
Well have a great time Thursday
night"
Before Thursday night was over,
Judiths heart was well nigh broken.
She looked better than she had
ever looked in her life, with that
dress OF gold color and the way
Sandy whisked her hair to show the
line at her temples, the faint blush
Sandy impaired to her cheeks. "If
he doesn't fall for you tonight, Jude,
he's dumb"
And Judith nervously: "T don't
want any one to fall for me-"
II mean HIM not Hal. But get
Hal interested. Competitions the
life of trade, you know"
Judith WINGED. Her young, fiery
ideals suffered with this kind Of talk.
She didn't want to go out after love,
scheme for it. She wanted it to
come magnifcently in q cloud Of
flame. She wanted their two souls
to rush together in a sublime recog-
milton Of affinity. Judith was 22 and
woefully untaught.

Days Of Life Should
Not Be All Routin.

Life consists Of days. not years
Days are all that we're sure Of Too
many Of US drift along and forget the
approach Of that final event called
Death. Time is everlasting, but you
and ! have only {. tiny bit of 1t, Her
bert N. Casson writes. in Forbes Mag
azine. What We would do, we must
do quickly. Time is the stuff that Life
is made of. There is nothing in the
world so precious and so scarce as
time. We have no days to waste. We
need every one Of them to build our
lives with. No one. ever, has too many
days when he comes to the end of his
life. That is why we should not allow
a day to be all routine. That is why
we should always put to good use the
two or three hours before bedtime
That is why we should end every day
with a little friendship, or music, or
study, or fun, or family sentiment.
Never a day without a laugh, except
when sorrow comes. Never day with
out a book. Never a day without a
friend. That is the way to be sure,
every evening, that you have come to
the end Of perfect day.
