ELECTRIC RATE
CUT CREDITED
TO IVA POWER
Memphis Company, How
ever, States Reduction
Is Experiment.

BIZ Scripps-Hoioord Newspaper Alliance
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Dec. 28.-A VOL
untary reduction Of about 14.5 per
cent in its electric light rates, an
nounced this week by the Memphis
Power and Light Company, is being
attributed here to the influence
of Tennessee Valley Authoritys low
rates.
Claiming that the rates establish
ed are lower than can be justified
from the standpoint of all legal
principles governing the rate-mak-
ing policy Of a public utility, the
power company says the experiment
was undertaken to increase its vol
ume Of business.
Editorial comment, however, calls
attention to the coming shadow of
IVA power"
The power rate reduction coin
cided with a statement from the
authority of its decision that de-
velopment Of Aurora dam on the
Tennessee river should be part OF
the TWAS integrated power pro-
gram, embracing the entire river
basin. Heretofore, private interests
have endeavored to take over
Aurora.
Located in Kentucky, about for
ty-four miles upstream from the
confluence Of the Tennessee and
Ohio rivers at Paducah, Aurora dam
would be the closest IVA power
generating plant to Memphis.

May Last Long Time

We must not underemphasize the
strength of capitalism. 1t may last
Tor long time, especially if the
capitalists find some new producer
OF prosperity like the automobile.
Witness the survival of capital
ism in Germany after all that
country has gone through. But the
system is doomed to die sometime. "
Thomas urged Specialization of
banking. Speaking on the barter
system, he said that it might be
promoted by the capitalists to pro-
vide the workers with food and pre-
vent payment of higher income
taxes, and other measures necessary
to more equitable social order.

She heard him laugh in a
puzzled sort Of way. IF I
have a houseful of guests how
can I be lonely, Sharlie?-But
it happens that I haven't any
guests at all. I just got IN
from a solitary dinner at a
club. How does it happen
you're alone?"

lie answered. Even. Edna had
a date with a beau for a
change" she added maliciously.
There was a minute Of silence
after that and then Mr.. Collins
asked her what had been her
real reason for calling him up.
IT think you'd like to see me-"
he said before she had time to
answer. Suppose I drive
around there and get you. Your
family wouldn't mind your go
ing out for a breath of air with
me, would they? I could have
you back home by g."
"How soon will you be here?"
asked Sharlie.
The Fox Scarf
All the time she was dressing
Sharlie kept thinking of a blue
fox scarf that lay on top Of
some other things in the cedar
chest in Edna'S room. Edna
had bought it some 10 days be-
fore, when a furrier downtown
went out of business, and had
laid it carefully away in per-
fumed tissue paper.
"She wouldn't mind if I wore
it," said Sharlie to herself as
she powdered her face and put
lipstick carefully on her mouth
with her little finger. She'd
probably be back home before
Edna, anyway, and she could
put the scarf back in the chest
and then tell her about wear
ing it.
She went into Edna's room.
The room that was always
cleaner and neater than any
other room in the house, and
sweet-smelling with its scent
of orris root and violet talcum
powder. The scarf was fragrant
with the smell of the perfumed
paper it had been wrapped in
when Sharlie lifted it out of
the chest and put it around
her shoulders. .Ah, it was be-
coming! It made her eyes look
like gray crystals and her skin
whittier. And on Edna's toilet
table lay a little heap Of imita-
ton star-sapphire beads, that
were almost the color Of the
fur. Shed bought them because
they matched it, thought
Sharlie, clasping them around
her neck. Edna was just more
than dolling herself UP since
Jim Barnum had begun to take
her places and show her a lit
tie attention! Even a nice sensi-
