A Puzzle a Day
12345 6 7 8 9 Arrange the nine digits in any or-1 der; insert multiplication or addition signs among them, and make them | total to exactly 100. No fractions may be used; nor ! may any two figures be combined to I form a number (like 63, 41, etc.). Yesterday’s answer: J .45 od)o OooSo^C LBS ’ The small balls weigh 2% pounds J each; the medium balls, 7% pounds I each; the large balls, 15 pounds each. The problem is solved as follows; j Take the two bottom shelves and 1 eliminate six balls from each. This j leaves two large balls, equal in ! weight to four medium balls; therefore one large ball weighs twice as : much as a medium ball. Take the two top rows; The two large balls in the second ro ,v are j eliminated by a large and two me- i diums of the top row. Three small j balls of the second row eliminate | the three small balls of the top row. j Thus there remains a middle-sized ball in the top row, equal to three small balls in the second row. Thus j a middle-sized ball equals three ; small ones: a large ball, six small j ones. Each row contains the equiv- j alent of 18 small balls; each row 5 weighs 45 pounds, and 45 divided by j IS gives pounds as the weight of each small ball.

The '‘Spot” Coal Market and The Price of Public Utility Service
When the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce made its Complaint to the Public Utility Commission to the Effect that the Electric Power Companies, which are Among the Business Concerns of Indianapolis which Support it in its Operations, were overcharging their Customers on Rates for Service, there was a Good Deal of Qfleer Wisdom Exploited in the Local Newspapers to support this theory. About the Most Inexpert and Amusing was that of two or three gentlemen, to this effect: “The Electric Power Company sets up a Price for its Coal used in Producing Electricity which is Higher than that at which we could have procured Several Carloads One Day Last Week.” This is one of those Statements that has the Qualities of being True and Dishonest at; the Same Time. Electric Power Rates are made by the State, for definite Periods, Short Enough to Give the Public the Advantage of Permanent and Important changes in Costs of Production; yet Long Enough to Protect the Producer in his Opportunity of Earning Back the Cost of His Raw Materials and Wages, as well as a Reasonable Rate of Return on His Investment. Public Utility Rates are not Changed by the State Every Time it Rains. In estimating the Cost of Producing Electricity, or Gas or Street Car Service, the State Considers, among other Things, the Cost of Fuel Coal, and it allows such a price for Fuel Coal as is necessary to secure a Constant, Complete and Satisfactory Supply of Fuel for a Period of Reasonable Length. The State Knows that, as the Service Must be Continuous, the Supply of Raw Material must be Adequate and Reliable. Adequate and Reliable Supplies of Coal can only be procured on Long-Time Contracts and from Reliable Producers of Coal of Approved Fuel Value. Therefore, the State accepts, in the determination of the Costs of Fuel Coal Consumed

in the Service of the Public Utilities, the Prices which are Current in Contracts Prudently Entered Into, for Periods of Sufficient Length, and for coal whose Fuel Value has been Determined by Chemical Analysis and Physical Tests. The State does not ask the Utilities to pick up “Distress” or “Spot” Coal, because the State’s officials know, for instance: First—That such coal might not be available when it is wanted; Second—That such coal is not usually of good grade; and Third—That “Spot” coal has as often sold far above the average price as below it. Some of the very people who are criticizing the Indianapolis Electric Utilities for not buying “Spot” coal today below the market are recorded as protesting against the Outrageous Prices of “Spot,” “Broker” and “Reconsignment” coal during the war. They all belong to the same Litter of Kittens in the fuel business. The men who would force utility companies to depend upon a “Spot” coal supply on a soft market and regulate the prices of their service thereby should, to be logical, favor these other things: They should object to Hiring Policemen by the Year, on the ground that an Idle Man can be found, at a Low Wage, to make a Few Arrests when Necessary; They should favor disbanding the Paid Permanent Fire Department, on the Theory that they Could Pick Up Enough Men for Action when a Fire Actually Broke Out; They Should Limit the Making of the Family Meals only to those Articles of Food of Which there is a Momentary Glut, and have the Folks Fast Until the next “Soft” Spot Came in Food Prices. Reliable Service is based on Reliable Supply, Prudently Contracted for, and paid for at the rate that Guarantees a Continuous Inflow of Raw Material.
