Less Electric
Power Used
Steady Decline Hits
Profits Of Utilities

NEW YORK. Oct. THE most
significant feature in the electric
utility industry situation during
recent months has been the per-
SiStent decline in the weekly con-
sumption of electricity since the
years high mark was reached IN
the week of August 10.
The decline has occurred chiefly
in the demand for industrial
power on which the utilities mar
gin of profit is small. Yet, the ef-
feet on revenues has been sub
stantial, since gross receipts re-
ported by the country's privately
owned electric companies for the
third quarter were only $4,000
900 ahead of the same 1913 period,
whereas a gain of $l02, 900 900 had
been shown for the first six
Operating costs have remained
high due in some measure TO low
water prevailing at hydro-electric
stations in areas east of the Mis-
SiSSippl This neceSsitated in
creased dependence on higher cost
steam generating facilities.
The result has been that net
income for the industry was off
100000 or 7 per cent for the
third quarter. and lower by So
100000 or = per cent for the nine
months ended Sept. 30, compared
with the 1913 period.
Hydro conditions have since
been improved by recent rains but
other operating costs may rise
further in relation TO revenues.

Since many manufacturers and
some retail stores refuse to take
stockings back for any reason it
is surprising that only half the
buyers were dissatisfied.
BETTER FIT PROMISED
Textile experts in the War Pro-
duction Board say that an amaz-
ingly good job has been done in
avon stockings in view of the diff
ficulties. Improvements are I'M
der way in sizing, so you may look
forward to better fitting ankles and
knees. But nothing can be done for
the people complaining about the
stockings not lasting. A new spin
ming process has just been an
nounced for industrial types of ray
on yarn. to make it strong when
wet. If this could be used on
stocking yarns to keep your foot
from going through damp stock
ing, it would help, but that possibil-
ity hasn't been mentioned yet.
Cotton stockings trailed behind
rayon in demand Only IA per cent
of the people looked for them, and
l per cent failed to find them.
While only 8 per cent of the wo-
men in the far west looked for cot
ton stockings, 10 per cent of those
in the midwest were in the market.
Cotton stocking facilities are fairly
we'll tied up in war production, but
this is a likely low-cost item for at
tention as soon as things loosen up
a bit.
NEXT: Electric irons.

Stitch-in-Time
Will Add Weeks
To Corset Wear
BY ALICIA HART
NEA Staff Writer

First aid for corsets - wartime
course that's good to know - is a
stitch in time as a garter rips, a
hook loosers, an eye DANCES or a
seam pops. These efficient re-
pairs will extend the life expectancy
of your little twoway stretch, which
also stays with you longer, If you'll
make requirements keep spare
parts in your sewing box - as Of
ten as they are needed.
Next time you buy a garment,
buy two. It's good economy. While
you are wearing one for a few
days at a stretch, the other can
take rest, a practice which pro-
longs life of elastic. Buy wartime
girdles a little larger than those
that you used to squeeze into, which
because they were perhaps more
plentifully supplied with elastic,
could take more strain.
Washing your corset often also
extends its life. Body acids, oils,
and tale combine to cause fatali-
ties. In laundering it, float your
garment in good but gentle suds
and scrub it inside and out with a
soft bristled brush. Hand rubbing
and twisting often bend corset's
bones and stretch the foundation
out of shape. To extract drippi-
ness after it's washed, roll it in
towel and knead out moisture with
your knuckles. Fold through mid
die on hanger and dry in a cool
SPOT.

social-minded women who don't

I'd Your Patient Against Small Annoyances

The electric vacuum cleaner is ideal
for removing dust, but if the noise
diSturbS the patient it should not
be used. Small rugs can be taken
from the room and cleaned. Oiled
or damp mops and dustelothes
should be used to avoid stirring
up the dust.
No sick person likes to be faced
constantly with reminders of his
illness. Medicines and toilet articles
If kept in the room, should be
covered with a clean towel to pro-
tect them from dust, and to keep
them from the patients view.
Soiled dishes, towels and bedding
should be taken promptly from the
room. Books, magazines, and news
papers should not be allowed to
accumulate. Those that are needed
should be piled neatly in one place
except when in use.

In The Local
TheaterS
STATE

Performances today and tomor-
row at warmers State theater mark
your last opportunities of seeing
the giant horror show which enter
tanned capacity audiences at al
performances yesterday. The Mac
Ghoul" with Turhan Bey. Evelyr
Ankers and David Bruce is the
laeadliner while "Son of Dracula,
with Lon CLANCY and score OF
other favorites is the second thrill
hit Of the program.
Starting Wednesday the State
IlShers in another giant show with
the long awaited "Gung Ho" as the
headliner. History is most ably
recorded for posterity in the new
thrill film that depicts the first Of
fensive action OF America against
Japan in the daring Marine Corps
raid on Maxim Island.
Based on the exploits of Carlson's
Raiders, the brave group of 210 es-
pecially trained Marines that des-
troyed very Jap and every enemy
installation on Maxim in the South
Pacific "Gung Ho!' is an authentic
tribute to Lieutenant Colonel Evans
F. Carlson and his fighting men.
Randolph Scott plays the role of
Colonel Thorwald, the cinema pro-
totype of Colonel Carlson, and
makes his role a truly rugged por-
trayal. Noah Berry, Jr., and David
Bruce, as half brothers who are
rivals for the affections of lovely
Grace Mcdonald. carry the roman
tic portion Of the film.
Alan Curtis, Sam Levene, j. Car
rol Mash, Richard Lane and Mil
burn Stone all have featured roles
as members of the daring "guerril-
Ia" band that struck terror into the
hearts of the Jap garrison.
Excellent photography lends gar
phic realism to the battle scenes,
outstanding of which are those
aboard the giant submarine, and
also the hand hand slaughter of
the japanese.
AL In all here is one picture that
everyone should see. Put it right at
the top Of your must list and be
sure to see 1t at the State starting

squeaking doors, the clatter Of
hard heels on bare floor, ticking
clocks, and rustling papers are
sounds that CRATE on the nerves. A
half Of clothespin or a folded
piece Of paper can be used as a
wedge to stop a rafting window.
The Speaking door hinge should be
oiled; or If the squeak comes from
door that fits too tightly, rub the
surfaces with bar Of soap. The
noise Of walking can be avoided by
wearing rubber heels.
