Cain Gets Il
In Writing
Tucomu to Have
NisquollY Plant
Assured in Note

A promise in writing from j.
A. Krug. chief of the OPM power
branch. that Tacoma can go ahead
with the Nisqually power develop
ment was brought home by Mayor
Harry p. Cain from Washington,
d. c.
Cain presented the letter in
city council meeting Monday
morning. II was received little
cody by Utilities Commissioner
r. D. ONeil who had protested
while the mayor was gone that
he was interfering in the Ms
qually project without authorize
ton.
The mayor said he asked about
the project as chairman of the
Tacoma sinking fund board. which
is charged with responsibility for
issuing the bonds to pay for the
big power project. 1t already has
issued 100000. Another issue
OF the same size is authorized by
the city council and eventually a
total of s11. 000, 900 in bonds IA
contemplated.
krugs promise read as follows
This will confirm what I told
you in our conference yesterday.
The OPM believes that additional
generating capacity is necessary
in the Northwest and for that
reason there has been assigned TO
the proposed Nisqually project to
be constructed by your city's pref
erence rating of ALL, which as
you know ranks extremely high in
the scale of priorities.
Under present conditions il
should REQUIRE from % to "a
months to obtain delivery of the
generating units and with reason.
able luck this should permit initial
operation early in 1914. Should
you encounter any difficulty in OBJ
tanning individual items of ma.
terisl under your priority ratings
I suggest that you file with u'
the appropriate Dbl forms so we
may recommend higher ratings.

Some of the girls earn a good
bit, others just a little. but all Of
them have enough time left for
their chief business. which is get
ting a first-class education at this
oldest college for women in Penn
sylvania. II was founded by Miss
Sarah Wilson. who never received
any formal education or even rode
on a railroad train, but gave $780,
600 in cash for starting this liberal
arts college for young ladies"
back in 1868.
II Is the aim Of DIR. Paul Swain
Havens. a Princeton graduate and
Rhodes Scholar. to encourage
independence among the young
girls under his care. He does not
wish to make 1t seem as II the
things a girl does in the way OF
jobs at college are in any direct
way connected with what she Is
going TO do after college. For in
stance, the girl who gives man
icures at a quarter apiece is not
preparing herself for a career as
msnicurist any more than the girl
who serves Oriental suppers ex-
poets TO go into the restaurant
business after graduation. But he
does feel that running these enter
prises does develop self-reliance
and a sense of the value of money.
There is. for example. hosiery
mending. The charge is ten cents
for the first twelve inches of the
run and cent for every inch
thereafter. Pretty. blonde-haired,
slender Ruth Bishop. a senior, who
halls from Gainesville, Maryland,
is the "proprietress" of this estab-
/ hshment. She can take only a
small amount of the many orders
that come her way. for the girls at
Wilson College seem to do an aw-
full lot of stocking-ripping. Some
times. during the Proms, Rsth
is called in to repair stocking
right on a girls leg and she has
done this while the girls escort
stands patiently by.

THRIVING
FRRAND AGENCY

Girls who are too lazy to run
their own errands or too busy. can
have them run for them by the
Errand Agency. which makes one
trip to the business section Of
Chambersbury every day and
charges two cents on purchases up
10 dime, five cents on pur-
cvhases up to one dollar. Over a
dollar, the errand fee is ten per
cent of the cost of the article.
There is also another agency
which specializes in going to the
little eating shop nearest to the
college every evening for bringing
back orders for sandwiches. soft
drinks and such TO the dormi-
tories. There the commission is a
penny on a nickel's worth of eats.
Toasted sandwiches are another
profitable service; one girl made
ten dollars in a month. averaging
thirty toasted sandwiches an eve
ming, three nights a week.
