Harvey C. Couch, president of the
Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi
power and light companies, has just
announced he contemplateS building
$500 miles of rural extension lines in
So Arkansas counties. He will use
farm labor to give his potential con-
Sumers money with which to buy
initial appliances.
He promises housewives he will
help them market their produce if
they will add 10 or II chickens to
their focks to pay their light bills.
First rural communities to receive
the new service will be around
COUGHS boyhood home. Calhoun,
his birthplace; Ebenezer, Village
and PrattSville are the experiment.
ing ground for the new idea.
Recalls Old Chores
Remembering his boyhood job of
drawing water from the open well,
Mr.. Couch said it would be some
satisfaction to see electric power in
stalled in the old family homestead
built by his grandfather in the
1850'S.
Payment of extension lines will be
spread over a period of several
years. Assurance of three customers
to mile will be sufficient to extend
the lines, Mr.. Couch said.
If the experiment in the four
communities is successful the power
company hopes to borrow money
from Federal agencies to finance the
rural program in the three states
where Mr.. COUGHS companies OPP
crates.
Power for the increased service
would come from present sources.
Principal source is the 100, 000-kilo-
watt Steam-generated plant in the
gas gelds of Sterlington, La. Aug
menting the steam generators in
supplying power for the excessive
daily and seasonal peaks are Car
penter and Rennnel dams on the
Ouachita River near Hot Springs,
with capacities of $4,000 and 10000
kilowatts respectively.
Another Dam Ready
Another dam on the Ouachita
has been contemplated for some
time. 1t may be started with the
introduction of the rural develop
ment.
Announcement of the Arkansas
Power & Light Co. came after
strong agitation had started in sev-
eral cities, North Little Rock and
Helena principally, TO extend IVA
power into Arkansas.
Potential hydro-electric power on
the undeveloped White River in
northeastern Arkansas has been es-
timated variously by the Mississippi
valley committee of the PWA and
other engineers at from 100000 to
more than 100000 kilowatts on con-
tinuouS service.

plete disclosure of facts and figures
which will make it easier for their
clients to know what they are doing.
The answer is that The Exchange
desires to preserve the equal COM
petitive position of its members so
far as possible. 1t IS explained that
some brokerage houses have much
more money than they need to con-
duct their affairs. while others have
less surplus funds, but yet ample

IF member firms were obliged to
il file their condition statements
the Exchange might be hampered at
times in helping brokers to work out
of bad situations. Strong concerns
might not be willing to absorb the
weaker ones for fear of public re-
action and new partners might not
be obtainable for the same reason.
Moreover, financially repaired firms
might not have the full confidence
of the public.
Secrecy, of course, is not in tune
with the times these days, and on
that score the Exchange might be
subject to criticism for not requir-
ing its members to make financial
statements public. But when full
weight is given to results. charges
such as those made by the reader
previously mentioned would appear
to be over-balanced.

The fact that brokers came

collapse of the stock market with
much better record of performance
than the banks speaks well for the
system which is in force. The most
important factor to consider is the

rather than the methods by which
these results were attained.
Those who are familiar with the
ways of Wall Street know that the
Exchange has done excellent work
in preventing losses to the public
through financial difficulties on the

have been engineered on more than
one occasion where capital require

partners with additional capital
have been requested in many other

Deposit Initiation Negatived

InlS vast gam OF QepOSlLS IN
single year, according to the Ameri-
can Banker, is indicative Of the
tremendous deposit money initiation
which is taking place, due to the
twin forces of the dollar devalua-
ton and Federal budgetary deficits.
Only the almost complete refusal
of business men to speculate or in
vest their funds upon the future OF
American business has prevented
this deposit money initiation from
translating itself into a cycle of ac-
tive initiation of price levels.
The usual inf1ationary effect of
huge increase in the money supply
was negatived in 1884 by the dispo-
SitiOn of businessmen and other de-
poSitorS to pile up large idle cash
balances and concentrate them in
banks under the protection of Fed
eral insurance rather than risk them
in business or investment, the
American Banker points out.
Total deposits III the Nations
commercial banks jumped from $685.
0O0,00O,O00 to $4,000 100000 during
1884, it is estimated. These figures
are exclusive of $10,000,000,000 in
mutual savings banks.
SIS Per Cent in First 100 Banks
The concentration of deposits last
year produced a. q per cent gain
among the Nations largest banks.
The year end figures as compiled by

Oil Lamps and Gas.
THERE was q time when oil lam

THERE was q time when oil lamps
i lighted houses better than any,
thing else. That was before the day
of electricity and gas lighting.
In ancient times, people got along
with lamps which had no chimneys.
Credit for the glass lamp chimney is
given to a man who lived in Switzer-
land a century and a half ago. 1t
appears that he learned by accident
that a tube of glass would make the
flame steady if held over burning
wick.
Early wicks were made of reeds or
of twisted fax threads. These wicks
were round. Only a year or two be-
fore the first glass lamp chimney was
made, a Frenchman brought forth a
fiat wick. The fiat wick was the most
common type during the past century.
The oil used for lamps has been Of
many kinds. Olive oil. whale Oil and
animal fat have all played a part in
providing fuel.
The coming Of kerosene marked a
great advance in the art OF lighting.
It was taken from coal in early days,
and gained the name Of coal OIL"
At present it is obtained largely from
petroleum. It was fairly safe, and
gave a rather good lightly old
standards BY modern standards, the
kerosene lamp gives poor light; and
it is trouble to the housewife be-
cause Of the need for filling and
cleaning.
About 2nn vaorS aoo SciapfiSt
named Van Helmont made tests in
which he heated fuels in closed con-
tainers. He found that they gave off
something which he called "geest"
or gas"
Other persons learned that a
strange vapor rose from coal fields,
and that it would burn. William
Murdock, "a queer Scotchman who
wore wooden hats" found way to
take gas from coal, and in 1892 he
used gas to light a house. Later he
made it light an English factory.
Meanwhile Frenchman named LIE
Bon was finding way to take gas
from wood. Wood gas did not prove
so practical as coal gas, but it was
used for lighting a large building in
Paris, and the grounds around it.
London and Paris were among the
pioneers in lighting their streets with
gas. Later it came into wide use for
lighting houses.
