REGULATION OF UTILITY RATES CALLED DUTY

Scott of Gary Supports ‘Prudent Investment’ Theory As Soundest.

CIRCLING

Times Special WASHINGTON, April 25.—Substitution by the Supreme Court of “prudent investment” for the ‘cost of production” theory of utility rate-making would aid greatly in gitaining the Federal Power Commission's goal of “adequate service at a fair price,” Commissioner John W. Scott of FPC told the Federal Bar Association in an address here. Mr. Scott is a Gary attorney and was made commissioner by President Roosevelt after successful prosecution of utility cases. in the Justice Department. “It is seriously hoped that the Supreme Court will take occasion to remove from the books the rule in Smyth vs. Ames, advocated by William Jennings Bryan in 1898, under which experience has demonstrated efficient rate regulation cannot be had,” Mr. Scott declared.

The Rev. Louis C. Crafton, pastor of Garfield Park Baptist Church, is to be honored with a reception at 6:30 p. m. today at the church in observance of his 10 years of service as pastor. Mrs.

Robert K. Wells will be in charge of the program.

Solar-Silo Urged to Store Sun Heat |

By Science Service WASHINGTON, April 25.-Store the now-wasted surplus sun energy

in. underground silos as trapped heat, to be drawn out and used as needed, is the proposal of Dr. F. G. Cottrell, well-known Washington scientist. Dr. Cottrell’s suggestion is incorporated in a new report by Dr. Charles G. Abbot, secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, in which latest developments of Dr. Abbhot’s many years of research on direct utilization of sun-power are discussed. The “solar-silo” scheme is exceedingly simple. There would be a

deep, cylindrical, concrete-lined pit, filled nearly to the top with loose,

dry sand, and “stoppered” with about 10 feet of glass wool, an excellent heat insulator. To the top of the sand would run a branched inlet pipe, from a solar heater, of the focussing mirror type invented by Dr. Abbot. An automatically controlled pump would bring in heated air when the sun was shining, and stop at night or in cloudy weather. A second set of pipes, at the bottom, would draw off the heated air as needed. It 1s believed that the sand, under its

thick blanket of glass wool, would
