Editor Times-I noted with great

most truthful, straightforward ar
ticle ever have seen in regard TO
the manipulations of the electrical
monopoly.
You certainly are to be congrat-
uIated in your freedom of express
sion, because it generally is under
stood that the electrical MONOPOLY
has subsidized the press of the
country.

last twenty-eight years, and have
seen just such things happen as YOU
describe, and have, of course. seen
why they have been able to paw

out, controlled the patent office in
Washington, where electrical pat

The only solution for this ugly
situation is to break up these in

and electric utilities, which right
fully have no competition on ac-

If this were done, the revenues at

Then Came the Khan

DY the time the armistice was
ID signed, the stage had been set
for just such an eruption as the Ku-
Klux Khan. Public sentiment had
come to be dominated by the idea
of saving people.
Having saved civilization by stat
ute, it was but a natural step to
consider saving the white, Nordic,
native-born portion of it by secret
order. Returning Negro soldiers
furnished the immediate excuse,
but Jews and Catholics were taken
on for good measure.
If politicians hadn't seen the sd
vantage of hooking up with dis
guised fraternity, the performance
would have been short-lived, but
that was too much to expect of
human nature.
The Ku-Klux Khan quickly grad
uated into a political machine, and,
though beaten to a pulp several
years before Alfred E. Smith be-
came the Democratic presidential
nominee, there was enough of it left
in 1928 to work up prejudice
against him.

Soldier Friend

PARIS, Feb. 16 U.P) Another
doughboy romance has gone west.
1t went with answer to an ap-
peal by Ex-Corporal Isaac Carlisle
of the A. f. F., now of r. F. d.
No. 2, Washington, Pa, for news
of Mile. Yvonne Menerat or Rheims.
The answer, supplied by the United
Press, said in effect
"Yvonne is happily married She
has three children, and works be-
hind the bar in her own cafe"
EX-Corporal Carlisle had inserted
an advertisement in the New York
Herald, Paris edition of the Herald
Tribune, which said:
Will Mile. YVonne Menerat, who
lived at 9 Rue Blavier, Rheims,
Marne) in 1919 please write to
Isaac P Carlisle, r. F. D. 2, Wash
ington, Pa, U. S. A.-adv.
Evidently Yvonne did not see the
advertisement. The United Press
called it to her attention.
Town hall records show that
Yvonne Menerat, 20 years old in
1919 when American soldiers
swarmed through the ruins of
Rheims, waited four years until
she married Monster Alphonse Lu-

RED CROSS HAS
HEAVY EXPENSES
DURING JANUARY

Expenditure of $1,091.60 by the
Red Cross chapter was necessary
to handle the relief situation dur
ing the month of January, the
heaviest month since the organiza-
ton of the chapter, it was revealed
at a board meeting yesterday after
noon.
The Red Cross fed 910 persons
for a month at an average cost of
103 cents per person.
Members of the board were en-
thusiaStic at the manner in which
relief is being extended but were
appalled, at the drain on the chap
ted.
OF the $1,O91O6 expended, $617.07
went for groceries. Other items
purchased included: meals and
lodgings, shoe repairs, car repairs,
transportation, grocery books, CLOTH
ing, drugs and medical supplies
and bedding.
During January, $50 cases were
cared for, with 910 individuals in
cluded in the total. OF this num-
ber 388 were children.
Relief last year was extended to
many from the drought stricken
areas in Oklahoma and Arkansas.
When they were given relief last
year and returned to their homes.
they were told to remain at the
place of legal residence and not
return to California. Evidently the
advice was followed in almost ey-
cry instance as reports read yes
terday included the names of only
IL persons from last years drought
area.
Twenty-nine of the 280 cases re-
ceiving relief in January had been
in the county more than a year.
Twenty EIGHT cases, or 112 indi-
viduals, were sent to relatives, to
employment or to places of legal
residence, according to the report.
Many repeat orders for whole
wheat were received during the
month of January, proof that the
experiment is meeting with sue
cess.

charge of the Safeway cooking
school, The school will open Feb
ruary II and continue February l8,
and 10 Sessions will be held from
2 to o'clock each afternoon in
the Ten Thousand club house.
Miss Calvin, who recently joined
the staff of home economists as
Sisting Mrs. julia Lee Wright, ma
tional director of the Safeway
homemakers' bureau, has made a
special study of the homemaking
problems of western women.
Miss Calvin will offer a number
of new ideas in the serving of typi-
cal western fruits and vegetables
and will take into consideration the
desire Tor a pleasing variety with
out the spending OF too much time,
when she lectures at the Safeway
cooking school.
One of the greatest problems of
the western housewife, according to
Miss Calvin, is that of providing
foods ior the family that are SuS-
tanning yet not too rich and heavy.
Another problem Of the home
makel which Miss Calvin charac-
terizeS as almost universal, comes
from the lack of meat knowledge.
Miss Calvin believes that only a few
out of every hundred women can
ask for cut of meat by its cor
rect name. One way of learning
the correct meat cuts, is to go mar
keting personally and to learn to
know the meat market man, ac-
cordine to Miss Calvin, who says.
Make a friend of your meat mar
ket man and your meat bill will be
far less for he will help you select
cheaper cuts and tell you ways tC
prepare them so that they taste just
as good as the more expensive cuts.

on meats, herself, viii: show loca

CHAMBER URGES
COOPERATION IN
BUSINESS CENSUS

In cooperation with the United
States bureau of census, the E!
Centro Chamber of Commerce is
urging that queStionnaireS for the
1881 census of manufactures, being
sent out at the present time by
that bureau, be filled out and re-
turned to the bureau of census
promptly as the value of the sta
tistics thus obtained is dependent
largely upon their timeliness, which
in turn, is dependent upon the
promptness of the returning of
reports.
Major items covered by the 1881
questionnaireS are the number of
wage earners employed by each
manufacturer or business house,
wages paid, cost of materials, fuel
and purchased electric energy and
products by quantity and value.
QueStionnaires for some few in
dustrieS carry in addition special
inquiries in regard to materials
consumed and machinery or equip
ment in use.
Perhaps the most successful
census of manufactures ever taken
was that of 1929 which fell within
the decennial series. This census
has been of great value to manu-
facturers and to wholesale and re-
tail establishments. In order to
be effective, it is pointed out by
the local chamber, the question
naires must be filled out COM
pletely and promptly and that
body urges that all local firms or
business houses which have re-
ceived the 1881 questionnaires fill
them out promptly in order that
the bureau of census may have the
fullest cooperation of this COM
munity.
