THE POWER TRUST


Nowadays IL any individual free,
white and over 21 years OF age dares
to cast an opinion In favor Of the
private electric utilities, or has the
temerity TO voice his opposition TO
public ownership (socialism) he Is
promptly branded tool Of the pow
er trust" by lot of pink politicians.
What is this so-called power
trust?p It Is hundreds Of highly tax
ed individual electric companies
owned by, millions OF private ctti-
zens, publicly regulated. that sup
ply the best and cheapest electrical
service TO be found In the world to-
day. And far from being an all-
powerful trust, the electric utility
companies are, so stringently regu-
lated and harassed with government
competition that their very existence
is imperiled.
The tribute" levied by this pow
erfuI trust" on the average family
pocketbook has been graphically re-
vealed by a government agency
the WPA. Francis c. Fullerton, writ
ing in the Magazine Of Wall Street,
SAYS: a.. A NPA survey Of SO
representative cities recently show
ed that out OF an average family in
come Of $3.50 the average expendi-
ture for electricity was is per cent
of the total. out Of II living cost
items classified, this was by far the
smallest. Il was less than was spent
for ice, less than half of what was
spent for insurance and less than a
quarter of expenditures for amuse-
ment and recreation" The cost of
electricity to the average American
home is less than ten cents day.
Ultimately the public will discoy-
er that the loud cries Of power
trust are simply used to camou-
iage a sinister movement to destroy
private enterprise in the electric in
dustry and replace it with some
thing deeply abhorrent to American
socialism.
Farmers in some sections are
busy blowing on fl days.

DANGER OF FIRE INCREASING


According to all indications, a
larger number of homes will burn
this year. More factories and stores
will be damaged or destroyed, and
more men viii be thrown out OF
work.
-Four winter months of this year
registered a steady upward march in
fire losses. Although the actual In
crease over tho corresponding
months OF . year ago was not great
total Increase for the four months
was $4,s50,000. reported By the Ma

WOMAN'S REALM


New York-As 8 successor to the crownless chapeaux of last summer, smart American and French millin- CTS have introduced miniature hats -variously called "doll" hats, fun" hats or just "disc." Saucer r-sized (lit- erally), these are worn exaggerated ly aslant by women who would like to go bareheaded during the hot months but who know good and well that nobody looks truly chic without a hat.
 However, in addition to the com- fort of "doll" hats, there's another important reason for their popular ity. They are flattering to practical ly everyone.
 If you need one more hat to see you through the summer season, consider little disc in felt or straw. trimmed with a plain band or a cluster of flowers, as you prefer. Perch it precariously to the right, to the left or straight across your fore- head, and place the ribbon back band high or low, depending on your coiffure and the shape of your head. If 1t improves your costume or your comfort, you can wear 1t over snood of wide mesh or even hand kerchief bandeau.
 One of the most attractive fun" hats, modelled by pretty Joy Hodges and shown above at left, comes in rough straw and is finished with pompom. Another, at right, is trim- med with a narrow roll of white pique around the flat crown, and would be nice with sports clothes even beach wear.
 Among the lowered discs is one of rough straw in golden wheat with a cluster of blue forget-me-nots cov- ering the crown. A white straw number, for afternoon and semi dressy occasions, is entirely covered with blossoms of white narcissus with pale yellow centers. Both of these are inexpensive.
 Slightly higher priced is minia- ture bowler of black felt with a veil which floats behind as you walk. And, at luncheon recently, we saw wonderful miniature Breton, also of black felt, with an ashes-of-roses bird poised as if for flight right in the center of the shallow crown. The wearer had it tipped forward at such a sharp angle over her right eye that almost none of her upswept coiffure was concealed.

Style Chats

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 Paris (UP)-Black and mauve, feathers and wells, characterize the majority of the hat collection of J. Suzanne Talbot.
 Two exotic salmon -colored egret feathers stick straight up from the front of 8 small bashed-in black felt. A pair of long turquoise blue feathers provide 8 similar "eccen- trict" touch to an otherwise plain little black straw. Outstanding among the hot weather models is a perky small-brimmed, How crowned sailor of white cotton pique banded with inch-wide scarlet gros- grain ribbin. A gay veil-black with red spots-hangs straight from the brim all around.
 How veil can be a feather is illustrated in a mannish black straw of Amazone shape. Dusty pink veil- ing, cut in the shape of a ragged feather, its edges left raw, is ap- pliquied vertically on the front of the hat and looks for all world like a plucked ostrich plume. A black veil, hanging lower in back than in front is attached at each side to 8 mauve satin ribbon which serves the dual purpose of holding down the veil and forming a neckband.
 A sleek pheasant feather is set on a horizontal angle across the front of a close navy felt model. A huge black straw capeline with its brim turning sharply downward car- ries much appeal.
 The Egyptian note is introduced in two of the Talbot hats. One ia .

Glori6ing Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Staff Writer

NEA Service Staff Writer
 Girls who have mastered the art of looking fresh and rested, inter- ested and interesting during an evening that follows a difficult day at the office, are the ones who have planned beforehand a definite grooming and makeup routine. You don't catch the woman who is determined to be as successful a wife or glamor girl as she is 8 car- ger woman, running around in cir cles between the time she finally gets home and the hour set for her best beau or husband to arrive. No, indeed. She forces herself to forget business worries and to relax as much as possible on the way home. And, once there, she goes about the business of bathing, resting, making up and dressing without a single wasted motion. Every second counts
 If you seem never to be quite dressed and ready for dinner when you are supposed to be, try figuring out system for yourself. You might begin, as do so many women who have learned how to appear calm and poised though frightfully tired, by remembering to brush your hair for a few sec- onds, clean face and throat and cover them with mask or rich night cream while the warm wa ter is running into the tub.
 After bathing, remove the mask or cream. That is, unless there is time to lie down for ten minutes, in which case leave mask or cream on until you get up. If you can manage the ten-minute rest period, by all means do so. And be sure to keep eyes covered with cotton pads that have been wrung out of cold witch hazel or soothing eye lotion during the semi-nap.
 After applying makeup as care fully as you can, put on clean clothes from the skin out. If you possibly can avoid it, don't put back on the dress you have worn all day. The main idea of the en- tire routine is to accomplish a change in the way you look to yourself, as well as to others.

everywhere if she could.
 And it is too bad she can't. For there are to many people willing to tell young people they haven't a chance or offer them advice as pessimistic as that handed out to 1888 graduates by Professor Rob ert E.

It's only another kind of dole, but you won't mind that
 Young people can get along without the weakening sympathy of an older generation. And they can get along without their hard cynicism. .,
 But they could use a little sound advice, and some real encourage ment. Both are in Mrs. Richard- yon's recommendation to accept any

(This is the fifth of a series of articles by Dr. Fishbein on in fantile paralysis.)
 By DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American
 dical Association, and of
 Hygeia, the Health Magazine
 Gradually in various portions of the United States special facilities are being developed for the care of those crippled with infantile paraly- sis and other crippling diseases,
 In most of these institutions var ious exercises in water are being made available as a means of en- couraging the activity of weakened muscles.
 The chief advantage of this method is the support that water gives to the weakened muscles.
 No swimming pool will cure para lysis.
 The pool itself is useless, unless there are available competent teach CTS who will encourage the use of the weakened tissues, control the amount of exercise and of rest. and aid in developing properly those muscles that are capable of being redeveloped.
 One of the chief values of such places, however, is the mental sup port given to one patient by the others.
 Here children will see other boys and girls who may not be as well off as they are. Thus they will be encouraged to make the best possible efforts, leading toward cure. Moreover, they will be able to see the progress that has been made in handling many cases which might have been worse when they
