' ;'. ..artificial? ' . ' ' When a valuation of the Richmond Light, Heat and Power Company's holdings here was made by the State public utilities commission to determine the natural gas rate, it was held that the value of the artificial gas plant had to be taken into consideration because the company insisted that this piece of property had to be kept efficient in order that it might supply the artificial product if natural gas failed. ;The natural gas supply in Richmond virtually failed late last week. Housewives could .not obtain enough pressure to cook, business men suffered an interruption of their concerns, hundreds of natural gas heating plants had to be ripped out. ,The emergency was acute. The gas company's officials admitted it The citizens felt it. The question arises: If citizens are 'paying a high rate for gas because the company says it must maintain the artificial plant, why doesn't the company start the artificial plant and give us the supply? Every time we pay a monthly gas bill, we are paying our share toward maintaining the artificial plant. If we are forced to pay for the maintenance of the artificial plant, we have a right to demand that we have the full benefits of this protection in an emergency. So far we have paid the price each month, but when the company's turn came to pay the price to protect us, it failed. . We wonder if the company officials believe that the citizens' have forgotten the part the artificial plant played in fixing the valuation that determined the rates we are paying?

A Man's Highest Duty . .' Thousands of men in the United States today are confronted by a double duty. They are battling with an issue. The question before them, to paraphrase . a thought of President Edwards of Earlham college, is: .. . ' Is it my highest duty to remain in my civilian vocation or to offer my ability to the government? The answer is a matter which each individual must settle for himself.. No outsider can give a satisfactory answer, for there are hundreds of considerations that enter into the question, and only the man affected, knows these best, and consequently is fitted to determine his line of duty. Thousands of men have pondered over this question long and hard, and have arrived at the conclusion that it is their highest duty ..to foresake home and loved ones. The government has accepted some of them; others have been informed that the government at present cannot utilize their ability. No hard and fast rule of conduct can be laid down. The question is one of conscience. Each man must judge for himself.

G

Abram is "By Yephenk"

Jane Dixon in the New York Sun :

N a downtown street the other day a woman scis

sors grinder trudged along, her shoulders hunched beneath the weight of the grinder strapped to her

back. The perpetual bell swung its invitation up to the windows in the tenement cliffs quite as Insistently as it did when sent by masculine hands. A man in our party agreed to have a penknife ground. The purpose was to discover how the woman scissors grinder came to take advantage of her new prerogative. "Isn't this rather strange, you, a woman, packing a grinder?" was asked. "It belong by my son, Abram," came the response. Tbe dull face, criss-crossed with the seams of time and tide, was flooded with light. "And where is your son Abram?" "Yephenk." There was all a mother could put into that single word. There was pride and fear and sorrow and self abnegation, and the exultation that comes to the woman who gives a man child on the altar of humanity.

Abram's mother wore a Liberty bond button pinned!

to the breast of her thick black dress. Not all the fighters for country and safe democracy handle guna. ' Here was one fighting with a scissors grinding machine.

WHY? These half-baked American citizens, Who ran away from Germany and came to this country So they could enjoy a little freedom And make a decent living and bring up Their children where they could have a chance, And who are now crying their eyes out over Germany And pulling secretly for her to win, Why didn't they stay over there? Why did some of them risk their their lives to get Away from the same brand of kultur thry now admire so much? Why don't they go back now? Nobody's keeping them.

claimed the girl, "do run downstairs and show Mr. Blank your new gun! He is so interested ' in guns." "Very well, dear," was the goodnatured reply, and down went the unsuspecting father.

A boy of seven was being scolded in a room adjoining one in which his grandma lay ill. He motioned toward grandma's room and quietly said: "Sh ! It's too much for her; it'll wear her out." Later grandma thanked him for his consideration, whereupon he replied, "Don't mention it, gram; that was fifty-fifty part for you and part for me." Grace had just been said. "O, dear," said the little girl who had been brought up under the shadow of the Bible. "What's the matter, darling?" asked her mother. "I ate a grape that wasn't blessed," was the response of the little child. The other morning Willie's mother came in the room to find Willie sitting on a high stool beside the bed, with his feet on the pillow tenderly covered with his bedclothes. "Willie," said mamma, "are you crazy?" "Oh, no," replied Willie; "my feet have gone to sleep."

Claims Toes of His Wooden Leg Froze PETERSBURG, Ind., Dec. 14. Strange things happen in Pike county, especially in zero weather, but nothing more remarkable than the following has ever been reported: Uncle John Patterson, a veteran of the civil war, who walks on an artificial leg, said it was so cold in his room that the toes on his artificial leg froze and it took him an hour to thaw them out. Dink Morgan, a young stockman, who gets about on a crutch, was not surprised at Mr. Patterson's statement for he asserted positively that it was so Cold in his room the crutch he used shivered and rattled during the night and kept him awake, so he could not sleep a wink.

Few Women of Today

Work Blindly Used to be that daughters adhered strictly to mothers' methods of home management. They used certain baking recipes simply because they were favorites of former generations Times have changed radically. Colleges and clubs have been established for the express purpose of determining just which baking method and baking materials are best. Many domestic scientists devote their lives to research and experimental work. They are constantly testing food products. They conduct exhaustive comparative tests. They accept and endorse only such methods and baking processes as have been found superior through scientific measurement of merit. These decisions are given wide fubUcity. The result is that the housewife of today produces more wholesome and perfect bakings at leu cost than ever before. I have conducted many experiments and have investigated experiments conducted by scores of other domestic scientists. My own work and the decisions handed down by other pore food tpecialislt and domestic scientists bring out the evidence that the overwhelming majority employ and advocate the use of one special brand of baking powder which proves once more the old saying that "there is only one best. I know that this baking powder has won its popularity among experts on merit alone. Because I know that they show no partiality. - To obtain their approval a product must possess superiority. And that superiority must cover every phase of baking powder quality of material and action. It must be absolutely sure in results never faiL It must be perfectly pure leave no harmful residue in the foods. It must produce the best grade of bakings cakes, biscuits, etc, that are light, tender and tasty. Finally it must be a baking powder that is economical in both cost and use. Calumet Baking Powder is the one baking powder that has won the verdict of superiority and the hearty endorsement of expert domestic scientists who like myself have proved Calumet's superexcellence beyond dispute. This superiority "sanctioned" as it is by eminent domestic science authorities certainly clearly indicates that Calumet gives the housewife the greatest of Baking Powder value. NOTE Miss Costetlo is already well known to most of the ladies of eur city. She is of the Domestic Science Branch of the University of Chicago, a graduate of Lewis Institute, Supervisor of Domestic Science in Public Schools, Special Lecturer on Domestic Arts and Economy, Special Lecturer to the Women's Clubs. We are publishing a series of her most important articles.
