Earth Around the Sun

Copernicus, born In a German Sec
ton Of Poland and partly Of German
stock, wrote book to tell why he be-
lieved the earth moved around the sun.
He said that the earth was really a
planet, and that all the planets trav-
eled around the sun. That was a
shocking thing to say in those days.
Copernicus appears to have been afraid
to publish his book, but at last it went
to the printer. We are told that the
first printed copy was placed In his
hands when he lay dying. His death
took place % years after Magellan's
ship, the Victoria" finished the IA
nous voyage around the world.

Simplification of giant utility
holding company structures or
dered by the Rayburn-W Wheeler Act
may require as long as Is years
or more, SEC research experts con-
ceded today.
Even should the Supreme Court
rule the act constitutional, officials
foresaw little hope for successful
disintegration of far-flung utility
empires within the time limits pre-
Scribed by the legislation.
The act directs the commission
to order Simplification of holding
companies as soon as practicable
after January l, 1888. Each COM
pany then must consolidate and
limit its operations so as to form
a single, integrated public utility
system. The companies are given
one year to comply with the or
der, although the commission may
allow an additional year for con-
solidating activities in certain
cases.
Study Is Pushed
Ever since passage of the act
in 1895, SEC officials have been
studying problems they expect to
confront when the task of limit
ing holding company operations
gets under way. Individual COM
panies have been surveyed from
every possible standpoint. The
commission hopes to arm itself
with important data pertaining to
each of the 250-odd companies af-
fected by the act.
Officials emphasized that the
legislation is not a death SEN
tence" for holding companies. The
commission hopes to consolidate
scattered subsidiaries in a manner
that insures a minimum loss to
each group.
Since the SEC has considerable
latitude in directing the process of
Simplification, it is expected Of
ficials will be liberal in many Of
their administrative actions.
In reducing their complex inter
locking systems, the companies
are certain to present thousands
of plans and schemes for commits
sion approval. To safeguard
against financial losses, many Of
the companies propose to trade
with each other so as to confine
their operations into an integrated
organization.
The process also will involve
purchase and sale of subsidiary
properties, exchange of securities,
ana transfers of cash. In many
cases, companies probably will
find it necessary to raise capital

HOLDING COMPANY CHANGES
MAY TAKE IS YEARS

} through stock and bond issues to
finance their simplification pro-
gram.
Many Suits Due
Not only must the SEC ap.
prove all these transactions, but
it also must prepare itself for
a deluge Of litigation.
"Our court battle has only
begun If the Supreme Court
upholds the act" one official
observed. "Once the simplifi-
cation activities get underway,
it will be a lawyers field day.
The process may last well over
Is years"
1t is not unlikely that some
restraining action or court or
der after January 1888 apply
ing to one utility company could
very well delay its simplification
for a number of years.
Meanwhile, IS companies al
ready have filed preliminary
statements with the commission
registering as public utility hold
ing companies.
The registration provision OF
the act is the basis of the court
action brought by the giant
Electric Bond and Share Utility
system in a New York Court
This action, attacking constitu'
tionality of the act, is the major
legal test of the legislation.

AHouse Built
Christmas Day
80. by...
Frances Crinstead

A HOME that was built on
~ Christmas day stood for a
n long time on the old Santa
Fe trail where it passed near Ar
row Rock, Mo-, on the Missouri
river. Though not quite completed
in single day, with the help of
his neighbors on that holiday"
about a hundred years ago, Henry
Nave got his cabin ready for his
family and the day after Christ
mas took them into his shelter.
OF course the house was built Of
undressed lumber, felled right on
his farm. When he had selected the
location this pioneer cut down
round poles for the walls, rafters
and joists-the framework.
Mr.. Nave had found some large,
fiat stones, and in the afternoon
they dragged these into place for
the hearth. Then of other suitable
rocks, by much putting and pulling
they built a fireplace-one of those
great practical ones which served
to heat the home and to cook ven
ison, buffalo meat, corn pone and
other "victuals." The exterior of
this fireplace was wood, the stones
providing a fireproof lining.
The mortar to bind the stones
was chiefly mud; to obtain even
this simple ingredient it was nee
essary to build a rire in the middle

@ AM LINCOLN walked slowly
along the street gazing into
~ store windows. An icy wind
caught him at the corners but he
hurried across to the next curb in
tent on his mental shopping.
He was thinking hard of Cora,
too. Though not a word had been
spoken between them on the sub
ject, it was quite understood that
he should buy her warm gloves,
warm sweater and stockings for
Christmas. He'd saved a fair
amount for this very purpose.
When you gave up your city living
for the country, you thought IN
terms of wool. Cora needed all
these things. Her gloves were
worn down to thin spots. Her
sweater had been mended good
many times and her stockings
well, Cora just laughed about them.
Cora would. She had made fun OF
every hard thing about changing
their home, from the dreadful
wheezy pump in the kitchen, to the
way the floors slanted in the bed
rooms, so that no pencil would stay
on a table, and books continually
slid off on the floor. Cora was a
thoroughbred and good sport.
Sam looked at green sweater.
That would be becoming to Cora's
light curls. Or that cheerful red
one. Nice on snowy winter morn
ings. The very chickadees would
sing with pleasure at sight OF her
in that sweater. He took few
steps toward the shop door when
his eye fell on a black-and-yellow
silk kimono.
Of course he would not get it;
just inquire the price so that he
might look at it.
The moment Sam touched
reverent hand to the exquisite silk
he was lost. Thrifty, Woodworking
Sam! How could he have done
such thing? And so calmly, too.
"Please wrap it up" he had said.
The price had been reduced in or
der to sell quickly. He walked out
of the shop with the light bundle
under his arm, and skunk by win
dows filled with warm wooden
clothes the kind Cora so sore
ly needed.
All the way home on the train
his heart sank lower and lower. He
