VETS TO GIVE.
DANCE, SHOW

NORFOLK, Va, Jan 22.-AL
though their fete is still a month
in the offing, high enthusiasm
was expressed here today by
United Spanish-American War
Veterans Association officials
over the reception given by the
public to the announcement Of
plans for Camp Five'S twenty-fifth
anniversary dance and floor show.
An annual fixture, the enter
tainment will be given in Client
Hall on February IL this year,
with the proceeds, as usual, going
to care for the veterans.
1t was pointed out that the
average age of Camp Five's mem
bers is now 63 years, rendering
the majority of them unable to
provide for themselves. More and
more each year. camp officials
said, these veterans are coming to
depend on the financial success of
the annual entertainment.
Senior Vice Commander Roland
A. Norton called attention to the
fact that this is but the second
time in the history of Camp Five
that the public has been called
upon to assist in this welfare
work. Emphasis was laid on the
point that at the outbreak of the
Spanish-American hostilities Nor
folk recruited an entire regiment
in the city and immediate vicinity.

BUSINESS BOON
SEEN IN LOWER
POWER RATES

NEW YORK, Jan. % GNS0.
More than 30,000,000 American
homes await lower electric rates
to open q field for thousands of
millions Of dollars in business
through sale of electrical equip
ment, David E. Lilienthal, director
Of the Tennessee Valley Authority,
told the National Retail Dry
Goods Association convention here
today.
Taking an attitude directly in
contrast with the AAA's produc-
ton restriction program, Mr..
Lilienthal declared that more pro-
duction means lower prices, larger
sales volume and higher wages.
Climbing Trade Cycle
He cited an article by John c.
Watson of Albany, who declared
that the way out of depression
'lies in the tested philosophy, the
proven policy, the American plan
of productivity, more productivity
and still more productivity. Pro
ductivity's blessings lie in volume.
1t ought to mean that prices con-
tinually go down while earnings
constantly go up" Mr.. Lilienthal
continued:
'Tn a wide field of mass pro-
ductiOn and distribution, as
everyone knows, is an elasticity
Of demand depending directly
on price. In this field lowered
price means increased demand.
Increased demand means less
cost per unit, and thus a cycle is
set in motion which leads to
increased consumption and in
creased business activity"
While utilities companies have
battled the iva, now awaiting its
fate at the hands of the Supreme
Court, Mr.. Lilienthal declared
that in IVA territory electrical
operating companies have in
creased their volume of business
and their earnings far ahead of
similar companies in other parts
of the country, after having put
into effect reductions in rates.
Cites Tennessee Experience
Referring to the Tennessee Elec-
trio Power Company, a private
utilities corporation which reduced
its rates, he said:
"Among the 48 States, Ten
neSSee ranks fOrty.SecOnd in per
capita income. Among the 100
largest private utilities, the Ten
neSSee Electric Power Company
ranks thirtieth in number of
domestic meters and yet, accord
ing to the Electrical World, this
company in 1884 ranked first in
the entire country in increased
kiI0watt-hOurs sold per reSiden-
tial customer; first in the total
number of electric ranges sold;
second in the number of electric
refrigeratOrS, and third in the
number of electric water heat
ers. In dollar volume of ap-
pliances, the company ranked
second.
In other words, this COM
pany, with 100000 residential
customers in a State of low
spendable income, actually had
larger total sales than did COM
panies in higher income States
like New York and Illinois with
10 times as many customers"
While the Tennessee Valley Au
thority has reduced rates to 81
per kilowatt hour, as compared
to the country's average of 81
cents, the rates are yet too high
