If you want to see me about a po-

morning"

Madame Lizette? You're friend
of hers?" Miss Carolie rose quickly
No, I'm designer. I'm looking
for job, and some one in the show
room told me I'd have to see YOU.
but 1 didn't know you saw people
only in the mornings"
We'll, that's our rule. but
Miss Carolie laughed. Won't YOU
sit down? You've come in at the
psychological moment, for I'm just
preparing an advertisement for a
designer. Before 1 send it down.
perhaps you'll show me some of your
work"
"Of course I will" Quickly Gail

oh, that's beautiful" The older
woman exclaimed, picking up a
watercolor drawing of a youthful
evening frock. What a clever idea
that is" She pointed to the I'M
usual line of the decolletage. Are
these all your own deSigns?"
why, yes!"
"THEY'RE very attractive" Miss
Il Carolie declared as she laid
them on her crowded desk. And
you say you won the Larne price,"
Yes. guess l was rather
lucky, for Miss Cranston has some
very clever students"
Then you went to Merrywood

What was the idea of one of Miss

SPEAKERS ROW
SETTLED BY
C0UGHL|N

CLEVELAND, Aug. 13 G.N.S0.
Rev. Charles E. Coughlin, Detroit
radio priest, moved today to bring
together the two opposing fac
tions in his National Union for
Social Justice with a compromise
on the dispute over addresses by
DR.. Francis E. Townsend and Rev.
Gerald L. K. Smith before the
National Union convention, which
opens here tomorrow.
Both to Speak
Father Coughlin announced that
both Townsend, old-age pension
leader, and the Reverend Mr..
Smith, self7styled successor to the
late Huey K. Long in the Share
the-Wealth movement, will ad-
dress the National Union, but not
during a session of the convention
proper.
The two will speak late Satur-
day afternoon after the regular
business sessions are concluded,
Father Coughlin said.
Walter D. Davis, Cleveland,
grand marshal of the convention,
leader of the group opposing the
appearance Of DR.. Townsend and
Rev. Smith. said he was salts
fled" with Father Coughlin's rul-
ing.
Sylvester v. McMahon, national
secretary and Ohio supervisor Of
the National Union, who revealed
yesterday that DR.. Townsend
and Rev. Smith had been invited
to speak here, said he had no COM
ment.
Lemke to Talk
Coughlin, Smith, Townsend and
Representative william Lemke, The
Union party's presidential candi-
date, have joined forces to oppose
both major political parties in the
current campaign. Lemke will be
one of the principal speakers at
huge mass meeting in the lake
front stadium Sunday afternoon.
Davis has appealed to Father
Coughlin "to rule against outsiders
speaking before the convention
and making this another Townsend
convention" He declared the
speeches Of DR.. Townsend and Rev.
Smith at the Townsend convention
here a month ago caused internal
strife in the organization.
Split Is Feared
It was understood Father Cough
lin would settle the matter today,
but those opposed to the Town
send and Smith appearance
pointed out that a definite split
within the ranks of the National
Union may result if the priest
rules in favor of their addressing
the convention.
Senator Rush D. Holt CD of
West Virginia will deliver the key
note address at the opening seS-
sion tomorrow morning. Other
speakers tomorrow will include
Father Coughlin. Mcmahon and
Representative Martin L. Sweeney
of Cleveland, critic of the Roose-
velt Administration.

RURAL POWER
INSTALLATION
COST FACTOR

The ordinary farmer is not going
to do very much rural electrifica-
ton with installation costs at from
$500 to $1,000 and rates at 10 to "a
cents kilowatt hour" is the state
ment made in a recent bulletin
dealing with the subject of rural
identification. This question is of
great interest and importance to
rancherS of Imperial Valley and is
given added significance at this
time because Of the proposed power
Development and distribution pro-
gram of the Imperial Irrigation Dis
trict.
This bulletin goes to state that
the only satisfactory method of
Bringing electric energy to the
farmers of the country is one which
will be accomplished at the lowest
possible cost. In other words, ac-
cording to this bulletin, this can be
done most satisfactorily only through
the agency of a publicly owned and
operated system.
1t is pointed out, as of record,
that in many instances where ef-
forts were made by the private
power companies to carry their SER
vice to the rural sections the costs
for this were SO high that the in
tended customers were not pleased
and the program could not be car
ried out to any great degree of sat-
isfaction.
Cooperation of farmers with pub
lie or municipal power systems is in
dicated as the satisfactory solution
OF this problem In some places the
farm ers themselves inaugurated
their own power distribution systems
when unable to secure this power
from private companies at reason
able rates. Many examples of such
systems are given and it is the in
tention of the district program to
give the rancher5 of this area the
best possible service of power for
their homes and ranches at the
lowest possible cost.
