SMOKING PERMITTED

London theaters are rapidly abandoning the ban against smoking. The latest to discard the prohibition Is the famous old Gaioty, whose name is linked with the histories of several of the brightest luminaries of English theatri- cal history and whose choruses have produced many brides for the British nobility and aris- tocracy
 This is the first time in Its history that the Gaiety has permitted smoking. and even now 1t draws the line at pipes which are allowed in many London playhouses. The Gaiety an- nounccs In large type on its program that smoking must be confined to cigars and cigar cites Tn many London theaters smoking is general with the audience, even women in- dnleing freely.

SUPREME COURT
UPHOLDS z PER
CENT RETURN

TlPHOLDING an Injunction
against new water rates in
indianapolis. the Supreme
Court has just emphasized
the Importance of states
giving consideration to present values
Of public utilities in fixing charges for
the use Of water, according to an
Associated Press dispatch in the
Washington Post.
Prices and wages prevailing at the
time Of the investigation must be con-
sidered, the court said in an opinion
by Justice Butler, from which Justices
Brandeis and Stone dissented.
"There must be an honest and intel
ligent forecast as to probable price
and wage levels during reasonable
period in the immediate future" the
opinion added in declaring that the
courts in attacks upon rates as con-
fiscatory must give consideration to
the future as we'll as the present.
They must decide. the court declared,
whether the rates complained Of are
yielding and will yield over and above
the amounts required to pay t9xes and
proper operating charges. a sum suf-

tors an hour each day. When q stu
dent in the class in business practice
desires to write letter, he or She
as the case may be-simply takes the
telephone on the desk or one near BY
and asks the operator for the number
of the telephone in the stenography
classroom. When the connection IL
established a request is made for q
stenographer to whom dictation may
be given.
When the letter has been taken in
shorthand this student calls another
number in the school and arranges for
tipping it. The finished copy is given
to an instructor for correction and
grading, after which the letter is
passed through other departments,
aided by the use Of the telephone.
Another innovation in the Wheeling
High School this year is the estab.
iishment Of bank and stock ex-
change, similar in practice and routine
to its more mature prototype In the
outside world. Students are per-
mitted to make loans on the bank,
cash checks and transact other bust
ness that will give them working
knowledge of the principles Of bank
ing and finance.
Interest in the student bank later
in the year, will be made to depend
on the stock market quotations for
any particular day, and students will
then be taught the method of seeking
and procuring sound stock and bond
, investments The telephone service
in the school will play an important
part in the ultimate success of these
latter two branches of the schools

The telephone training course Is de.
signed to instruct students in the
proper manner of using telephone

student
While the student training course
at the Wheeling High School has not
received much notice outside of the
city, it is possible that in future
months, and years it may be taken
up by schools in other parts Of the
country as model for similar courses.
