The Palladium: I saw, as a news item in the Palladium of Saturday's issue that the

Richmond City Water Works plan3 the issue of $400,000 additional stock for the purpose of taking up the corporations present bond issue, to provide treasury stock and to meet the expenses of the various improvements contemplated. I deem it of the utmost importance that this action be thoroughly looked into and its possible meaning fully determined. I have said repeatedly in former communications upon this subject that it is incredible that a corporation of the Richmond City Water Company'8 repute, should contract a bonded indebtedness of $250,000, and allow those bonds to come within six months of

falling due without making some provision in the form of a sinking fund, to pay that debt. I cannot believe that the Richmond City Water Co., placed so small a value upon their credit standing as to fail in making Buch provision. What are the possibilities involved in this stock issue? If the company has not provided a sinking fund to pay off those bonds, the people of Richmond should not be held responsible, as they, the company paid out as dividends what should have gone tinto a sinking fund to redeem those bonds, in so doing they are perpetuating a debt, nurturing it as a matter of fact, that it might be a fixed charge against the earnings of the plant. Again by converting this bonded indebtedness into stock they exact from the people of Richmond an increase of 3 per cent on $250,000 as the bonded interest is 5 per cent while the utility law permits 8 per cent and authorizes rates adequate to provide 8 per cent making $7,500 a year additional revenue to the company to be paid by the people. Another possibility. If the Richmond City Water Works have provided a sinking fund to pay the bonded debt and is hiding the fact from the public, it can readily be seen that $250,000 of the $400,000 issue will be watered stock, for the bonds will be redeemed by the accumulated sinking fund, then hand out to the stock holders $250,000 of stock upon which not a dollar will be paid, producing the bonds, redeemed by the sinking fund, to add color of .validity to the transaction thus Issuing $250,000 of watered stock on the plea that it was issued to provide money to take up the outstanding bonds. This transaction should be stopped until after May 1st that the utility commission might act thereon. Yours truly, ALFRED BAMS. 411 N. 13th St.

To Those Who Went Down With the "Titanic" Tomorrow will be the first anniversary of the greatest sea tragedy of history, the sinking of the greatest vessel afloat, the "Titanic," when over fifteen hundred men, women and children went down to death. The anniversary of this terrible catastrophe will be observed in New York City by the dedication of the Titanic Memorial Lighthouse, for which contributions were received from all over the na

tion. This beacon light for mariners will forever perpetuate the i memories of those engineers who sent their stokers to the decks ! while they remained in the hold and calmly faced certain death ; I of those musicians who reverently played "Nearer My God to Thee," while the waters crept up to their instruments and then en- j gulfed them ; to the sturdy English officers and seamen and cool, unflinching first and second cabin passengers who rigidly enforced

the stern rule of the sea, "women and children first, and by their conduct pacified the frenzied immigrants of South Europe, inspiring them to go to their deaths like men. Also this monument is dedicated to those women who elected to remain with their husbands and go down with the ship ; to the Marconi operator who stood by his instrument to the last and to the postal clerks and youthful cadets who remained on duty to the end. In brief it is a lasting tribute to supreme devotion to duty and of high courage. The memorial which has been erected on the new seamen's institute, is identical with the accepted form of lighthouse with stairs in the rear, a lantern gallery and a fixed green light which will shine out over New York Harbor and be visible to all the lower anchorage down through the Narrows to Sandy Hook. Surmounting the Tower is a time ball. Just at five minutes before twelve each noon the gleaming ball will be hoisted to the top of the steel rod. And promptly at noon when the time is flashed over the wire from Washington, the ball will drop. By it the chronometers will be set of the schooners creeping along the coast ; of the great four-masted ships loaded with oil for the Far East ; of the tramp steamer setting out for South Africa ; and of the passenger and cargo boats sailing for the West Indies and South America. Situated just where the island of Manhattan turns, on the corner of South Street and Coenties Slip, the new building of the Seamen's Institute commands the attention of every vessel entering the great harbor of New York, whether by way of Sandy Hook or through Hell Gate. And because of its close relation to sailors and the sea, its roof was chosen for the "Titanic Memorial Lighthouse" by the two societies responsible for raising the fund to erect the Memorial the Seamen's Benefit Society of which Miss Catherine S. Leverich is President, and the American Scenic and Historic Preservation Society of which Dr. George F. Kunz is President. The firm of the late J. Pierpont Morgan acted as Treasurer for this Fund, Mr. Morgan having also contributed $100,000 toward the new Seamen's Institute. An oval tablet of bronze, beautifully designed, is placed on the corner of the building sufficiently near the street to make its inscription visible. It is inscribed: "This Lighthouse Tower is a Memorial to the

Passengers, Officers and Crew of the Steamship Titanic Who died as Heroes When that Vessel Sank After Collision with an Iceberg Latitude 41 46' North Longitude 50 14' West." APRIL 15, 1912

EDITORIAL VIEWS.

WORRY. (Kranrrille, I rid.. Oooriar.) He wm out of breath, pan tine; like a tired dog and perspiring. He had made a great run for it, but missed the tram. He could not get another carrying hi mto his destination for several hours, and much depended upon him reaching hie destination at the earliest possible moment. So he was,

naturally, out of humor. Likewise, and i naturally, too, he fumed and fretted !

and was disagreeable generally, greatly to the detriment of his digestive apparatus. But all the fuming and fretting ia

this world would not recall the train, j Profanity would do no good, though ! he reeled off several notes in B flat. In fact, nothing short of a miracle could enable him to get aboard the train and reach the objective point "on time." So his profanity was useless, his fretting and fuming an injury to him, his ill-humor a detriment to sane thinking. He was powerless to correct the mistake he had made, or

the mistake somebody else had made, which prevented his reaching the station at the proper time. ' Common sense ought to teach us the folly of worrying over such things or even being annoyed by them. If it would bring back the train and enable the man to get aboard it, one could see the wisdom of his butting down an iron post with his head, or doing anything else. But under the circumstances, when butting down an iron post would only injure his head, certainly the man would have been a fool to indulge in any such procedure. Now, in one way or another, we are missing trains all the time. That is, we are being disappointed, just as tho gentlemen in question. Things are going wrong with ua things which, after they have gone wrong, cannot be corrected no more than the train could have been recalled. And many pf us are fuming, and fretting, and getting worried over things that go wrong with us just as the fellow did

at missing his train.

And, after all, whafs the use? Does

cider improve its toothsomeness by its

fuming, fretting and fermenting? No,

it only works itself into an ugly and nauseating state.

There is no telling how long a man

might live if he were a true philosopher. Suppose that the fellow who missed the train had been a philoso

pher. Suppose he had tha reasoning capacity to sea at a glance, the folly of worrying over missing a train, and InsUad of making himself miserable, disagreeable and unhealthy for a man cannot be healthy when be Is uncomfortably angry: suppose he had accepted th situation calmly, and had sat down tto read a good book, or to do something else equally as worth while. Don't you suppose that the fellow would have added two years to his life instead of lopping off six months as any such burst must necessarily lop off? There are a lot of people who claim that it is not possible for one to acquire the no-worry habit. But, as a matter of fact, and regardless of what any one says, it is quite possible. And it is a good deal easier than the average man imagines. It is the simplest thinr in the world, to be exact, to refuse to worry over things one cannot help and there is never any uae to worry over the things which one can help for they can be cured. Up until the time hen death in pity had set the captive free, Christ did not worry. But with a forgiving spirit, the memory of which should live eternally in the minds of men. He said: "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do." Perish the thought of worry. Then you are in harmony with yourself. And a man in harmony with himself is in harmony with all, and at peace with the world.

fabric of a dream. But it will persist, like other exploded myths, and doubtless some day the very ritual In use in tha tarn pie to an unknown divinity will ba published. Where do such hoaxes originate? In what fertile Imagination are they conceived and by what means are they given currency until they take on the appearance of authenticity? Archaeology, too, has its Munchausen who tell their tales of prehistoric anthropophagi, and considering the wonder tales of archaeologists themselves devise out of a sun baked Babylonian

Erected by Public Subscription 1913. The i amen's Institute on which the Lighthouse Tower

is erected is a twelve-story building equipped to care for about fifty thousand of the half million seamen who come to the port of

New York each year. It is a social welfare plant.

It is many things combined: a chapel, a hotel, a savings bank.

an employment bureau, a lyceum for entertainment, a school for

nautical instruction, a relief society. It maintains a steam launch

in the harbor, and with this new building it is possible to take a

crew from an incoming ship, transport it to the Institute, feed it,

lodge it, entertain and instruct the men, give relief to the sick and

disabled, visit them in the hospitals, secure them fresh employment, outfit them properly and place them on their outgoing ves

sels, having in the meantime taken charge of their baggage, their

mail and their money, and having transmitted the latter, free of charge, to their dependents any where in the world.

A Talk to Richmond Mothers

About Croup and Cold Troubles

The New Treatment With Fresh Air and Antiseptic Vapors That Does Away With Injurious Internal Medicines, Flannel Jackets and Chest Protectors. Every mother is a doctor when it comes to treating the annoying little cold troubles that all children are heir to. The only trouble is to know what really is the best thing to do. Some mothers keep the children In doors and make them wear chest protectors and heavy flannels. This

kept closed and hence kept out the

all important fresh air.

Pine tar from the south, menthol

from Japan, camphor from the isle of

Formosa, and the oils of Thymol, euca-

lyptol, cubeb and Juniper, are recog

nized as. the best remedies for cold

troubles. Druggists the world over have been seeking some cheap, convenient method of vaporizing these products without having to use the cumbersome vapor lamp. A druggist in North Carolina discovered how to combine these pro

ducts in a salve by a special process so that they were vaporized by the

THE GREAT SPHINX HOAX. (New York World.) Recently there was published in a reputable English periodical, the Sphere, and subsequently republished in many American journals, a circumstantial account with illustrations of the "remarkable discoveries" made by Prof. G. A. Reisner, the Harvard archaeologist, within the Sphinx. Prof. Reisner was represented as having "unveiled a series of hidden temples within the natural rock of which the Sphinx is formed," one of them in the very head of the sculptured effigy. It happens that at the time of the alleged "discoveries" Prof. Reisner was making archaeological investigations in Dongola, remote from Egypt. In his own words, he "never excavated In or at the Sphinx, never intended to excavate in or near the Sphinx" and has "no intention of doing so." His categorical denial brands the "Sphinx temple" story as the baseless

Put the Load Where It Belongs

F you are to make the most of your time and opportunities, you must have efficient tools to work with. You have enough hard, tiresome work without wasting your time and

energy at wood-sawing, water-pumping, grindstone-turning and the like. Use an I H C engine to furnish power for such work. In less time, and with far less effort, the wood is sawed, the stock watered, the tools sharpened, all at one-tenth the expense of hand work. Put the load where it belongs. Buy and use an I H C Oil and Gas Engine It is the cheapest engine you can buy because it costs less per year of service than others. It is so powerful that it will carry a load ten per cent or more above its rated horse power. Perfect combustion makes it economical. I H C oil and gas engines operate on gas, gasoline, naphtha, kerosene, distillate, alcohol! Sizes are 1 to 50-horse power. They are built in every approved style; vertical, horizontal, portable, stationary, skidded, air-cooled, and water-cooled. Sawing, pumping, spraying outfits, etc. I H C oil tractors for plowing, threshing, etc., 12 to 60-horse power. See this engine at the I H C local dealer's place of business and learn what it will do for you. Or write for catalogues.
