F, AWARD OF THE $4,000 first
prize to the Central Power anc
Light Co. by the National Electric
Light Association for the Creates
Increase in the use of electrical
energy per home during 1923 is an
impressive demonstration of the
progreSSiveneSS of the Valley.
1t also demonstrates that the
company which received the award
lis one of the most progressive in
Stitutions in the Valley.
RResidence customers in 1927 used
ssn average of 256 kilowatt hours
of energy. In 1923 this was increas-
ed to an average consumption Of
AIS kilowatt hours, spread of 159
kilcwatt hours per residence GUS
toner.
The increase was largely the re-
suit Of increased use of electric
ranges and other home convenien-
ces, showing the progressivenesS of
valley clClzenS.
Frank G. Ludden, district mana
ger, gives credit to the men who

Coy, head of the commerce depart
ment, H. G. Voight, merchandise

MAKES ALL FELONS
Mrs. Sabin Says All Who Fail to

az the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, October 26.-Mrs.
Charles H. Sabin, former member of
the Republican national committee.
who resigned to become chairman of
the Woman's Organization for Prohi-
bition Reform, says in an article ap-
pearing in the November issue of the
American Review of Reviews that mil
lions Of responsible citizens have been
made technically guilty Of felony by
the Jones law.
Another Federal statute provides,
in effect" she explains, that any per-
son having knowledge of the commits
sion of felony who fails to notify or
warn the authorities is guilty Of mis-
prision or felony, and is subject to the
penalty Of three years in a Federal
prison-which in turn automatically
makes that one felon.
How many good people are guilty
of mispriSion these days? How many
Congressman and Senators who voted
to make felons of hundreds of thou
sands of their fellow citizens are them
selves guilty Of this offense?"
Mrs. Sabin states in the article that
the Womans Organization for Pro-
hibition Reform now is active in all

Mary, Realizing That Only Drastic Action Will Save Her Happiness, Reveals That She Was the Mask ed Dancer of the Night Club
By Adele Garrison

Mary, Realizing That Only Drastic
 Action Will Save Her Happiness,
 Reveals That She Was the Mask
 ed Dancer of the Night Club
 AS Mary shot her challenge at Noel. I never had seen her more '"autiful. Her lovely little head was
 rust forward expressing the defi- nee and pride which were also vii hrant in every line of her slender lissome figure. And her starry chal- lenging eyes, and the delicate car mine of her coloring, completed a picture which might enthrall the senses of any man,
 But ohe man of the two who faced her was not enthralled. l saw that in the strained face of Prince Georges. It had on it the look of one passing from a roseate dream into black reality. To him had come a problem, any solution of which would be tragic. His chivalry-high soyish, Quixotic-I guessed-forbade him to give Mary the ultimatum which her outrageous defiance Of lim called fora choice between lreaking the engagemnt between hem. or complying with his wishes, md not guessing the game which Noel and Mary were playing with their happiness as a stake, he faced the tragic future of a man tied to d rt aim in common with him, one, moreover, who threatened to belttle him in public and make ridicu lous figure of him,
 What Noel thought no one could have told. I guessed that he would have given much to have brushed past cur royal visitors. swept the mutinoUs little lady of his heart into his arms and rushed away with her. But he had set himself to play the role of devotion to Olina which I had asked of him. and he would not deviate from it. At Marys chal- longing question concerning his fathers verdict upon her dramatic ability, he strengthened himself and spoke tersely, emphatically, but in the matter of-faCt tones with which he would have answered any pro fessional question.
 You are perfectly correct in the claim you have made. My father has said repeatedly that you will be the greatest dramatic star he ever has traincd.'
 Olina Acts
 Curiously enough, as Noel vindi- cated her claim, Mary was not look ing at Georges who had bclittled the mention Of her "career." but at Glina. Suddenly I had the eerie con viction that my husbands madca i? niece had not yet finished with her plan for disillusioning Prince Georges, and that she was expect ing some move from Olina-waiting for it-that she might act accord ingly.
 The next instant my question was answered. From Olina's lips there came a dainty little laugh. a mere wrath of thing, but expressing in- finite incredulity and disdain, and with the power of stiletto to wound. It or something like it was
