We Wili Help You to Save Safely fkttktr &abtng* anb Crust <Ea hmMWWKM 85,000 REGISTERED HERE ON LAST DAY Women Outnumber Men in Many Precincts of County. With approximately eighty-five thousand men and women taking advantage of the last opportunity of registering for tha coming election,'County Auditor Leo IC. Fetler today estimated the total registrattor In the county at approvlmatelv 175.000. The outstanding feature of the registration yesterday was the large number •if women who appeared and placed their names on the registration lists. “All registration officers were impressed with the manner In which the women intelligently registered yesterday and ell of us were pleased with, the way the women co-operated In the tremendous task,” said Mr. Fesler. “It takes no longer for a woman to register than a man,” he added. In some precincts yesterday the women registered In larger numbers than the men and this Is shown in the Second ward, as follows: Second precinct, 593 men. 643 women: Fourth, 674 men, 507 women; Sixth, 820 men, 997 women; Seventh, 919 # 946 women, and In the Eighth precinct there were 752 men and 837 women. In the Fourth ward there were 519 men and 539 women registered in the First precinct: 634 men and 668 women in the Second precinct: 836 men and 877 women in the Fourth precinct; 533 men in the Thirteenth precinct and 497 women. According to Mr. Fesler the registration was the heaviest on the north side, with most of the south side precincts not going over the one thousand mark lu each voting precinct. As the county commissioners and Auditor Fesler had estimated the total registration at 125.000 instead of 175.000, it will be necessary to use more Australian ballots than first intended. The heavy female registration shows that the women of Indianapolis and Marlon County are well versed In their duties under suffrage and are prepared to vote side by side with tha men on the first Tuesday in November. The registration Is now closed and work will start at once on completing a list of the registered voters for the chairmen of the various parties.

GAS COMPANY PROMISES FAIL TO MATERIALIZE Rate Boost to 60 Cents Not Met by Adequate Public Service. BY-PRODUCTS ATTRACT Glaring Inconsistencies between the promises by officials of the Citizens Gas Company of what would be accomplished in the way of service for the citizens of Indianapolis, made when the public service commission granted an increase in the rate to 60 cents per 1,000 cubic feet, April 26, 1918, and permission to sell securities with which to purchase additional equipment May 28, 1918, and the performances of the company since that date are apparent from an examination of records at the Statehouse and the statements of gas officials before the board of public works last week. Outstanding among these Inconsistencies Is the promise of representatives ! of the company before the public service j commission in 1918 that an addition of I forty coke ovens to the equipment of j the Prospect plant w'ould increase the I gas producing capacity to a maximum ' of 15,000,000 cubic feet per day and the statement of James Steep, assistant engineer of the company to the board of works last Friday that the highest point i ever attained was last Thursday, when ! 12.020.000 cubic feet was produced, j Tbis was a year and a half after the * completion of the forty coke ovens, herI aided as such a boon to the public. | FIVE CENT KATE INCREASE I TO PRODUCE 8186,000. In April, 1918, officials of the company told the commission that the granting of an increase of 5 cents In the rate would mean an increase in revenue of approximately $186,000. Before the board of public works Alfred Potts of the board of directors stated that the Increase of 30 cents, which the company believes is necessary for its proper progress, would add $300,000 to the annual income. Evidence "ffered before the commission In April, 1918, was to the effect that the maximum production of the company up to that time was approximately 11,000,000 ! cuid • le t per day. Language of the order of the commission granting the Increase to 60 cent*. Betting out the reasons upon which the raise was predicated, is as follows: “Where the addition of forty coke ovens will double the producing capacity of the plant providing for present demands and for the industrial needs of the community during the war period, insuring better and more even pressure and a higher average of heat units, and enabling the company to discontinue, except In emergencies, the operation of a water gas plant which is run at a loss the proposed Increase was approved.” COMMISSION LED TO BELIEVE 60 CENTS SUFFICIENT. Further evidence that the commission was led by the gas company to believe that the 60-cent rate would prevent gas shortages for many years. Is found In a summing up of the evidence, which reads, j in part, as follows: “That the petitioner Is unable to meet all requirements for service; that It Is desirable that said facilities be Ihcreased by the addition of forty ovens, thereby doubling Its coal gas production capacity and raising the total maximum capacity of petitioners' generating facilities, including Its water gas plants, to more than 13,000,000 cubic feet of gas per day; , that such additional facilities will en- i able petitioner to render service to those demanding service for domestic. In- | dnstrial and war order purposes, except for tae substitution of said gas for coal for general house heating; that the en- 1 largement of facilities, as stated, will , result In more satisfactory service to all patrons; that said additions will make possible a more even pressure and the maintenance of a higher average of heat units.’’ In the face of these promises the board of works last winter fined the gas company some $2,200 for failure to produce gas of the 600 British thermal unit standard and continued precarious service resulted last Wednesday evening In such low pressure that housewives throughout the city had their dinners delayed more than an hour. INCREASE GRANTED FOR EFFICIENT SERVICE. Time after time in the order granting the increase to 60 cents It Is pointed out that the raise was being permitted so that efficient service to both domestic and Industrial consumers might be Insured and yet the gas officials before the board of public works contended that $1,250,000 authorized to be borrowed by the commission In May, 1918, j to finance the improvements was spent ; on the forty coke ovens, other equipment | being permitted to remain so nnmoderh ! and Inadequate that the full gas pro--1 during efficiency of the ovens can not : be utilized until further improvements, to cost approximately $2,500,000, are made. This. It Is pointed out by persons familiar with the situation, emphasizes | the admissions of gas officials that the gas company Is Interested In producing highly profitable coke and other byproducts first and gas secondly. Otherwise, these persons state, the company would have spent part of the $1,250,000 raised two years ago, on equipment which would, enable It to store and transport the greater quantity of gas which, as company engineers point out, necessarily must be produced lu direct ratio to the Increased production of coke. NEW MAINS MAY BE ORDERED. The franchise requirement which gives the company ample warning of the Increase In gas service which It must make

DOG HILL PARAGRAFS

The other day Luke Mathewsla was-* wondering what had become of the oldfashioned country dog that used to sit out In the front yard and bark all night long fit nothing. Poke Eazley says the dog has been duly shot. • * * This morning the Rye Straw store- ( beeper made a mistake and opened a box of crackers bottom-side up and Sile Kildew went and got choked eating one of ( th<*n upside down. • • • Salem Barlow, our eminent banjo picker, can now sing and play at the same time. We don’t know whether this Is a'-good idea or not. as the two noises together drown out each other. | every year consists of a provision that the board of public works may order a maximum of 35,000 feet of new mains laid each year. This provision is modified to the ex- 1 tent that the board may order new mains j only where there is at least one con- j sutr.er for each 100 feet of pipe. However, the board rarely, If ever, orders a main laid where there is not a much higher ratio of consumers. At least 500 residents are added to the eompanys’ list of patrons every year in this manner, George Leiuaux, president j of the board, estimates. COMPANY’S COURSE LEADS TO CONCLUSIONS. Ail of these things lead to conclusions that eagerness of the company to make a good financial showing led Its officials to pay more attention to and spend more money in preparation for the production .of coke and other by-products than for the production of gas, despite their promise tw the public service commission that granting of the Increased rate of 60 cents would enable them to “double the production of gas.” The company has had ample knowledge of additional requirements for service, which it might expect, but has not prepared to meet them sufficiently to prevent shortages such as that of last Wednesday.

/ Wanted, Salesmen Man With Car \ I to sell houses in Indianapolis. New manufacturing plants coming by the dozens and scarcely no new houses going up. This means that renters are compelled to buy in order to have a place to live. Leads Our advertising method; hundreds of stockholders and satisfied customers keep us swamped with buyers; we can’t poaBlbly take care of them without assistance, but we want a real salesman —one who wouldn’t be satisfied with less than S4OO per month, and a SI,OOO ambition. Salary / $ s If you are satisfied with pay that salaried men usually receive for this class of work, you wouldn’t have the amibition or ability that we require. We pay you just what you are worth measured with the yard-stick of results. In Business for Yourself This is like going in business for yourself. You are the retailer, we the wholesaler, only better; for you need no capital. Have no dead stock on your hands, no perishable goods to junk; not even rent to pay or coal to buy to heat your place of business; not even a bookkeeper or stenographer. We furnish all these things and the amount we take for our share of your efforts would not begin to cover a small part of these expenses. We have others In our office that help you pay the overhead—that’s where it pays to work in an organization. An Interview Before you ask for an interview, know first that you would like to work in our organization and that you are coming in to stay and make a place for yourself in our company. If you don’t have a desire and ambition to get to the top in such an organization we don t want to be bothered with you. If you don’t believe in Indianapolis and in yourself you would fail in our line. If you are now a failure keep away—your negative thoughts might poison our whole organization. Experience If you are now making money but want to make more money, see us at once; men experienced in our line preferable but not essential. We know there is not much salsmanship in this advertisement, but we are not trying to sell every salesman that reads it. This is an elimination advertisement. We are satisfied if we get the one man, if he is real one. Is it you? If it is, telephone the president of our company for an appointment. Main 2957-2958.
