Il am here asking for reduction

said. He went into the financial status
OF the power company. claiming, how
ever. that he was not criticizing its
remarkably prosperous condition"
6 Per Cent Held Ample.
"Six per cent Is an ample rate Of
return, however, for q company that
has $4,000, 900 in reserve" he added.
II am merely asking that the COM
mission give the consumers a fair
break in this matter. A further re-
duction of one-hah of / per cent on
the valuation is about $350,000."
William Mcclellan. president of the
company, sharply protested the line Of
Clayton's arguments, charging the lat
ter has been "harping" on that issue
for years.
He claimed the company was not
responsible for the surplus built up un-
der regulations of the Utilities Com
mission. The company cannot use
this surplus, he claimed, and it cannot
issue common stock to reduce it.
William A. Roberts, former peoples
counsel, represented some Ninth street
commercial consumers at the hearing.
He wanted the commission to modify
its rules 50 that the power company
cannot arbitrarily make charges in the
matter Of defective electric meters. He

for keeping his meter accurate.
Roberts cited the case Of q colored
woman who was charged $46 over q
period Of two years, claiming the COM
pany itself had failed to detect i'm
proper meter wiring. He suggested
that the same rules governing gas
meters should be imposed by the COM
mission, as they are more equitable"

HOLLYWOOD, July 13.-David O..
selznick, president OF Selznick Inter-
national Pictures, Inc, announced
yesterday production will begin imme-
diately on a film depicting history of
the Associated Press and the part it
has played in development of the free
American press.
The producer said the picture will
describe the Associated Press at it's
beginning in l848, show the growth
OF the non-proflt cooperative asso-
citation into the largest gathering
organization in the world and, in
effect, will be a caValcade of American
Journalism in all its exciting and ro-
mantle aspects.
THE picture will be entitled Free
dom Of the Press" Selznick said, "and
will present truthful outline OF the
nature of the Associated Press and
Its firm development Of the principle
OF unbiased news"
.iIe production will be authenti-
Gated b. hitherto unpublished records
made .vailable by the Associated
Press, tf which approximately 1,4OO
newspapers in this country alone are
membees
The Associated Press is a news
gathering and distributing organiza-
ton, mutually owned by it's member
newspapers, and motivated by one
purpose only-to provide swift, accu-
rate and fair news reports the world
over This task involves daily effort,
directly or indirectly, of 10000 individ-
uals throughout the world The Asso-
cated Press makes no profit and does
not sell its news
The Associated Press unending
struggle to annihilate time and space
will be related from the days of the
Morse telegraph, before which news
paper ingenuity drafted carrier pig
cons. fast horses and clipper ships to
speed news.
1t is saga of triumph over terrific
obstacles. or today there is no habit
few minutes from the Nations front
pages whenever news breaks
Newspapers the world over are
members. and the spread of its hum
ming wires feeds thousands of presses
hundreds of words minute
ClimaXing the march of progress,
wirephoto now sends pictures over
wires with the same speed as news,
marking a tremendous forward stride
in the work OF reporting things as
they are"
The story of the Associated Press
has been the procession of world his
tory. the births and deaths of kings,
the fury of wars. the lightning strike
OF catastrophes. historic political bat
ties, and of unsung heroes who got
the story, no matter what the cost"

Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

A well-known criminologist asks, 'sWhere is the discipline of yeSter- day? Why is crime increasing in the younger ranhs2 What are par ents thinking about when they ale low their children to go places and do things they have no idea of?"
 He is right. Where has the free dom demanded by the sympathizers of youth led us? Look at the fig- ureS. Seventy per cent of all crime is committed by boys (and girls) under age.
 Taking into consideration that outside forces are at work which never entered the picture before, there is still this to say. Discipline at home has become more lax, es- pecially where adolescents are con- cerned. The steady pull has been away from home.
 Parents have had a double battle to fight, 1t is true, but instead of valiantly making fight against the obscure recreations of their children, have supinely allowed their author ity to be undermined by advisors who insist that youth needs greater freedom and more air; that it should be allowed the benefit at all times; and that self dependence is always greater than imposed au- thority.
 All this is true as far as it goes. Youth does need much freedom and independence to work out ideas and ideals. The younger child, should be part of each growing year. Indi- vtdualism is important. Self suffi- ciency is important. The growing child should be strengthened to the proper kind of self dependence. But again, parents have too fre- quently misunderstood the signs. and have been led to think they must relinquish all authority. I ad- mire the mother and father who in- sist on knowing who their chill orenS friends are, where they are spending their time; and who make a point of supervision until an age of surer judgment Is reached.
 Parents, do not allow yourselves to be hoodwinked by those mis- guided ones who urge free living. Know what your boy or girl is do- ing and thinking. Do not be con- tent to let others use your own off, spr1gn. They are yours and you are responsible for them. Be friend. but be 8 mentor, too. Social forces are against you, but you can defeat them by joining arms with other parents, and taking Q stand. Crime is not always the product of un- derprtvllege. Too often the contrary. There are many ways of making youth happy and contented with life. without their getting mixed up with people you don't know, and go- ing places you know nothing of. It IS time for 8 crusade against bad influence. Your children will think you. They need prtoection both against crime and FROM it. Copyright 1887, NEA Service, Inc)

just as you described. Thank you (W. K)
 Answer-Perfectly harmless, al any rate, for any one subject tc angina pectoris, to carry @ small vial of nitroglycerin tablets and take one tablet whenever an at- tack threatens or take one tablet three of four times @ day. Each tablet contains l 2o0th grain.
 White Bread
 Your statement that bread con- tains practically no vitamins while potato contains vitamins B, c and G brands you as ignorant. A per- son can live a year on nothing but bread and water, but could anyone live a month on potato and water? (B. J. O.
 Answer-Yes, believe one re- strtcted to potato and water could get along better than one restricted to white bread and water. Of course, bread is three times as nourishing, In calories, as potato.
 Multiple Sclerosis
 Can you please say If multiple sclerosis can be cured? (M. E. L.)
 Answer-I know of no cure. Prof, Edward Mellanby has observed benefit from and advocates as part of the treatment a high vitamin A diet-which includes not less than a quart of milk, two eggs, liberal use Of cheese, plenty of green leafy vegetable, carrots, etc., and two tea sspoonfuls of a good standard cod liver oil daily.

THE AFFAIR OF THE BLUE
 ANDALUSIANS

ANDALUS1ANS
 Last week we endeavored to eX- plain that there was no scandal in volved in the situation we discov- cred when we called to see how the Andalusian romance was progress ing. You will remember we intro duced a black Andalusian cock tC white Andalusian hen and left them alone together for @ season Then one day 1t occurred to us tI drop in and see how they were get. ting along and by jingle we found as astonishing situation, as indi cated in this diagram:
 CUT OUT
 Immediately we betrayed our ig. norance-or at any rate I did whether you knew better or not by glancing around for an unob- trusive grayish or spotted black and white stranger, but drew blank as the best English mystery story writers say. So we passed the buck to the reader. The problem we submitted to the reader-presum- ing the reader is not an expert was this: What will be the color of the offspring if @ pair of these "blue" Andalusians elect to carry on the family line?
 AS I have said before, I can't carry in my head relationships be- yond first cousins, my own first cousins at that. Possibly there are other individuals similarly handi- capped. For their benefit perhaps we ought to provide the guinea pig example as an aid in determing what the second generation of An dalusians will be. It seems that If pure black guinea-pig and @ pure white guinea-pig are blessed with g fine litter of little pigs, the little ones are not gray or blue or spot ted, but all pure black, or at least they are all black. We'll, sir, a pig is not necessarily SO black as he Is printed, for, according to Mendel when a pair of these all black pigs in turn have young, the young are not all black and not mottled or spotted, but three-fourths of the young are black and one-fourth white, as a rule.
 Cogitate that for a while ant then try your skill at deduction What color will the second genera. ton of Andalusions be and whyi Remember, a pair of the first gen. eration, blue Greatly grayish ir color) hybrids mate, and we'll say they produce'a brood of four chicks Quick, now Watson, what color are the chicks?
 We'll give the answer in the next article on heredity. Here 1t is fair to say that "blue" Andalusian Is really gray. or half and half, thanks to the black contributed by one parent and the white contributed by the other parent. That's all you need to know. One must under stand these simple problems oi short division and rapid multiplica- tion, SO to speak, before one tackles the integral calculus of beredity.

-BEAUTX.----.......''''.'.''.''.I'''.''..A GIori1ing
 Yourself
By Alicia Hart

1 According to modern experts wht compile skin tone and complexion charts of various sorts, one shade of powder is not enough for any woman. She may bet by with two but, to bring out the best in lei skin and clothes during the season four are necessary.
 At first thought, this idea may seem bit extravagant. However 1t really is pretty practical-accord. ing to the new theories, four cor. rectly selected powder shades wil see you through year and what. ever is left of each can be used thu following year. In the long run, i makes no difference in your budge powder and use them for two year! or two boxes which last only one But having several shades to weal at different times makes much diff ference in your appearance.
 There are, of course, two com plexion groups-creamy (with vel low undertones) andpinkish (witl rosy undertones). The creamy skin. ned woman will need a summer Suntan powder and a creamy ont which matches exactly her natura skin tones. The latter she will wear when her frock is a neutral color that does not cast any particula, shade over her face. Dress colors do not change skin tones, but they often seem to.
 Therefore, even though her skir be creamy, she will need a powder with rosy lights in 1t to apply wher she wears Q rfock which casts 6 yellowish glow. The powder coun. teracts the sallow effect created bs the dress. Conversely, bright colorl and glistening fabrics brighten the face even before makeup is applied In this case, to achieve 8 natura. look, one would use duller powder.
 If your powder wardrobe isn't complete, by all means year yOul newest dress when you shop fol another shade. Never buy face pow der until you have tried 1t. To ait slightly bewildered customers, ont fine cosmetics manufacturer (fa. nous for perfumes as well as fol powders) puts out clever little eel. larettes with nine shaker bottles in each. You'll find one of these or the beauty preparation counter oi your favorite store where you car test and test to your hearts con- tent.
 Just as important as the correc, shade is the right type of powder for your particular skin. When you have found the right one youl shiny-nose problems are over.
 Generally speaking, dry-skinnet individuals need powder with night covering power; normal ones re. quire a medium-weight variety; oily complexions require heavier types with great covering power.
 Remember, too, that the perfectly powdered woman is one who does noe look powdered at all. Using powder to whiten the skin and cali attention to 1t was a fashionable custom in the days of the ancient Babylonians and the Romans, but modern ideas of beauty have come a long way since then. Always press powder or firmly, let 1t set @ mo- lnent or two, then be sure to whisk oh the excess with a soft baby brush or the reverse side of the cotton pad.
 NEXT: Bright and sparkling.
