An editorial inqelry in the Woman's Home Companion with the idea of throwing some light on this timely question btought a flood of letters from girls all over the United States. An analysis of the replies showed the following reasons why the writers of these ieters having tried to confide in their mothers, no longer do so. | ■ Because 517 mothers deliberately lied when questions about sex and the source of lift'; 50U more evaded the question; 351 betrayed confident!; 335 were too old fashioned; 227 were too busy to listen-to their children; I'JG were not ntercsted in their daughters confidences; 172 were too critical; 161 did not tmst their daughters | and a confidence was a confession: | ] 143 forgot that they had ever been , anything but perfect and were too easily shocked; 139 laughed at child- , ish confidences; 135 insisted on managing all their children's affairs at , any age: 118 did not solve their child- , ren’s religious problems satisfactorily:' 114 never invited confluence and gave none; 93 were not affectionate; 71 nagged; 65 were unfair; 54 were dictatorial. A typical letter fiom a twenty year old girl said in part: “It seems to me that tlie main rca- ( son why we of the younger generat’on ] socalled flappers, fail to confide in our mothers is because the mothers i fail to invite our confidence. ‘ "We yearned to talk things over I with our mothers, but what was the I use? They'd fuss and fume and worry I and warn us against vague dangers I which they would not or could not I define. No nice' girl did this. That I was a foolish thing to do. No I pathy—just admonitions 9 “We were—and are no different I from girls in a former period; only I they never dared to do or say the things we moderns dare. bob |»iwiler rongi l wear short ’ skirts—('hlrlesten! Wc are lively as rubber balls. Why? “Well, first of all, we are enjoying ourselves. Possibly too we take a certain satisfaction in shocking the older ' folks. Then undoubtedly we seek at- ' tention, mostly of the masculine sort. “What of it? Our mothers raised horrified eyes heavenward and wonder what this woild's coming to. We are Impudent, shameless hussies. They forgot that twenty-odd years ago they I did the same stunts in a different way, -n fPIr-rt Ir?

Davis here today in an address before the National Electric Light Aesociation. | “The electric light and power com panics of America have performed a notable service in bringng electrical power to every knd of mill and factory, and in adapting it to every phase of industry," Davis said. I "Nevertheless, though you have made a splendid beginning, you have not finished your work here. Perhaps you are so accustomed to the wonders of electricity that you are in danger of acquliing that familiarity wbeh is said to breed contempt. f "When I reflect on what economic saving might be effected by means of better lighting: when 1 reflect on such matters as increase in production, the saving of life and limb and occular vision, and on all that may be done to promote happiness among millions of workers. I am nclined to think that you are too complaceut in the presence of certain untoward conditions in industry. "No end of tests have been made which demonstrate beyond all possible doub ha improved ligbing increases the amount of production, without adding to the burden of the workers. "Electricity has produced an industrial revolution; It has become the most gigantic power of life: and the
