Utilities Corporations Which
Exact Heavy Penalties
From Patrons
By BILL PRICE

Representative MCLAUGHLIN of Nebraska is preparing
bill prohibiting utilities corporations in the District from col
lecng heavy penalties from patrons who happen to be few
days late in the settlement of their bills.
Mr. Mclaughlin quite properly thinks that legislation should
be necessary and that the Public Utilities Commission has
ample authority put to species OF injustice that
would be tolerated in any city where the people, and not
corporation influences have control OF their affairs
The Nebraska Representative amazed to find that there
practices notorious here He finds that
patron of the gas electric light company of the District
who day behind in meeting his bill must pay $3.50 per
interest per for the delay He considers it
outrage.
District corporations have assumed the right to collect these
penalties allowed do The telephone
pany the only reains from using these arbitrary
methods.
The gas and electric light companies Of the District in
position do the telephone does In the event
that patrons do pay their bills They cut off service
The gas company for example requires deposit from users
of gas This deposit in itself is security that the company will
get its money.
The thing u.s. though that these corporations do

may think that corporations get the best Of everything
would be sitting beautifully they could have District
authority back of them require payment of all bills within

; Of the risks that those early men
ran in battling against such mon
sters with only spears and ar
rows tipped with flakes of flint
or points OF stone.
One of the touches OF human
nature which make the ages akin
was found in an ancient grave
wherein adults and children had
been inferred together. Around
the neck Of one Of the children
was a neatly made necklaces of
beads and pebbles, and near the
skeleton Of another child lay the
skull OF an Arctic fox. One may
wonder whether the animal had
been playmate of the little saw
age.
Aurignacian Race
All this occurred while the chill
of the glacial period was slowly
withdrawing from Europe. 1t
seems that a migration route of
the mammoths and other semi
arctic animals ran across the
MOravian plain, and cut into the
bordering hills to the northward
close by the place where the
great collection of prehistoric
bones and other remains has
been unearthed. At this runway
the hunters lay in wait for the
huge beasts, and killed them for
their flesh and for their ivory.
Yet these mighty hunters had
the genius Of budding art among
them. Even with their crude
implements of stone they learned
to carve the ivory of the con-
quered tusks into shapes that
the imagination suggested. One
miniature of the mammoth carved
in ivory has been found. which
may have been an admired mas
terpiece eighteen thousand years
before Greek art was born.
1t is probable that the blood
of this people still flows in Eu-
rope. They belonged to what
archaeologists now call the Aurig-
naclan race, whose ancestors
brought about the earliest know
great revolution in human So
clety when they drove into ex-
lnction-perhaps slaughtered as
tpey slaughtered mammoths-
their more savage predecessors,

he reached several feet of lava,

sand. From the latter, Il doll
was brought up by the sand imp.
At first this doll was thought
to be a petrified twig, but after
Mr.. Kurtz had washed it in a

later turned over to professors
who considered it a valuable find
