UTILITY RATES BIG FACTOR IN HOUSE PUZZLE Hast Draw Capital to Finance • Service Extensions, Says P. H. Gadsden. WASHINGTON, Jan. utilities companies of tha United States will require $552,500,000 to eoulp properly the 1.250,000 houses end apartments which this country now needs, Philip H, Gadsden, president of the American Elect rle Hallway Association and a vice president Os the United Gas Improvement Company of Philadelphia, declared here today, Mr, Gadsden testified at a hearing called l>y the Chamber of Commerce of the United States to help relieve tho housing situation. Only by inducing anew flow of capital Into public utility securities can this vast sum be raised when It is needed, Mr, Gadsden said. He added that this now money conld be obtained If public regulatory bodies would grant utilities rates which would provide an attractive return to the investor. He said: One of the most serious problems in connection with the housing situation Is Ihe great nead for money among public Utilities with which to make extensions. In order properly to equip the Improperly housed residents of the United btates with heat, light, transportation end telephone faclllrles the public utilities today would have to raise a total of 1825,500.0110. This total Is reached by combining the. estimates of the most reliable authorities In the public utility field. This Is a most astounding total to contemplate even in a field of Industry which has good credit. Unfortunately, the public utilities field Is not blest today with good credit. Regulatory bodies must recognize the fact that many public utilities were carried to the brink of disaster by enormous costs during the war and that Investment In their securities practically closed because of uncertainty of returns. If these facts are not recognized and rates regulated accordingly, needed extensions car be made. I am not pessimistic, however, regard lng the attitude of regulatory bodies Throughout the country they are display lng a highly intelligent grasp of the situ ntion and are evincing a desire to play fair with the public utilities.

Zylo Here to Stay , Say Ocular Style Specialists Shell Rims Have More Than One Advantage Besides Distinction .

“Style," wrote some self-appointed administrator of the efforts of human so clety, "is the desire to be distinctive.” Translated into common or garden variety English, it means a hunch to look upon the common herdl from a scornful elevation.

This same tvpe of spectacle was in the height of Its popularity six or seven years ago In the East. We nad a number of pairs in stock for two years before we could sell one. “People are afraid of making themselves conspicuous, which Is the reason they are so hesitant. “The chief reason for the popularity which the shell rims are enjoying Is the fact that they are comfortable. Asa rule people like to forget that they are wearing-glasses. Shell rims heliv them to do this. They do not fit tightly on the nose, leaving a ridgo when removed, nor do they dig Into the skull behind the ears. Despite ,the fact that they do rot lit tightly they remain on firmly and come off with little effort. Especially with women do they find favor, since they

Breakage has been the bugbear of not only the patron, but the dealer as well, until the introduction of therfb rims. It might be said that during the last two years the number of breakage cases has been decreased 80 per cent.” According to the opticians the styles
