The Municipal Light Plant and Coal The threatened shut down of many of Richmond's industries and the restrictions on the. hours merchants shall remain open due to 1ik of coal to operate the city light plant, brings home the inherent weakness of government ownership. Over at Dayton where they have a privately owned light plant merchants are doing business as usual and manufacturers have plenty of power

for their requirements. Labor, therefore, is employed. Why? - .,.. Because the. private owners of the Dayton plant had foresight enough to anticipate the crisis that would result from a nation wide coal strike. Because they backed their brains with their money and bought and had delivered early in the year a large reserve supply of coal for just such an emergency. Here in Richmond there are similar instances of preparedness. James A. Carr has a private power plant at the American Seeding Machine company backed up by a ninety days coal pile. Henry Gennett has similarly protected the inter

ests of the Starr Piano company. Only last summer A. J, Harwood installed an electric power plant at the Atlas Underwear company and laid by a good sized pile of high priced coal for a cold and powerless day. Now the time has come when the workingmen and women of these respective factories will be protected, thanks to the farsightedness, nerve and capital of thes.e industrial leaders. IMvate ownership's great advantage is obvious. There is a premium on acting with foresight. Acting, mind you. Not on vague thinking followed by inaction, but on clear mental processes accompanied by doing the thing. Of course, the present situation of coallessness at the city light plant is water over the dam. Nothing can now be done to place there the reserve coal that should be on hand. The lesson for future use, however, is plain. The city council should nowN appropriate money for the coal handling machinery Superintendent Dillon asked for nearly two years ago. Plans should be drawn immediately for a coal storage pit of sufficient capacity to store a six months supply of coal for the plant. This pit, moreover should be so planned that it can quickly be flooded with water in case of fire in the storage coal. The council should pass an ap-

i propriation for this obviously necessary improvej ment and protection for the plant and its consumers, the citizens.

If the council will accept this freely offered foresight and take the necessary action, Richmond will be immune to the evil effects of the country's next coal strike. If not, then the citizens had better petition for the sale of their plant to private interests who will give them the iesired protection in the future.

(Copyright, 191. by The. Wheeler Syndicate. Inc.) MARTHA The names of the sisters of Beth' any, Mary and Martha, are closely allied. While Mary signifies bitter, Martha means becoming bitter. Since the sister of the Blessed Virgin bore the same name as -her own, both are said to come from : Mara (bitter) though some believe that Martha comes from Aramean mar (a lord) which were often heard as the title of Syrian bishops. Martha of Bethany, according to legend, demolished a terrible dragon by holding up a cross one time when her family was making a Journey through wild country. The Marfa of Russia is of course like the English Martha, Matty and Patty (though by rights, the last named is a diminutive of Patricia and not connected with Martha at all). Indeed .in Russia Martha is considered the true housewifely woman of the Bible, independent of the legend of the dragon. Martha's equivalent has been a royal name therefore many centuries, occurring frequently among the daughters of the earlier czars. The -Martha used in Ireland is only an equivalent for the native Erse Meabhdh, Meave or Mab, once a great Irish princes, who has since become Queen of the Fairies, and is universally known as Queen Mab. Martha was used for Mor in Scotland. Marthe and Marthon of the south of France and the rarer Marta of Italy and Spain were all from the Provencal dragon-slayer. The name has always had a quaint old-f ashione ring and its popularity will never cease, due no doubt to its Biblical reference. The pearl Is most appropriately Martha's jewel, representing, as it does, purity of thought. Its heritage of tears would seem a fitting attribute for Martha. Monday is said to be her lucky day and 7 her lucky number.

THE QEORQE MATTHEW ADAMS DAILY TALK DIGNITY ) w There will always be something peculiarly fine about the worker or thinker who plants a certain dignity underneath all that he does. To be dignified Just as a pose or as a matter of tact, is to defeat the reason for dignity. For dignity must accompany a personality a man or woman who deserved well of life. Not to hold dignity as a great asset is to belittle one's personality and cast a shadow upon worth. The one who feels responsibility Is always accompanied by a splendid dignity. But to be dignified, is not to be stfobblsh or so reserved that human sympathy is crushed. Nor is dignity to be confused with an at tltude that shuns work with the hands or tasks that are of a menial character, v - Dignity is character proud of Itself! I can Imagine Lincoln as one of the most dignified of men. Approachable and kind and generous he was but his great and supreme worth was recognized the minute that one came into his presence. The greatest dignity, is of a pleasant sort big and kind. I like the dignified friend so dignified that he is too proud to be false or disloyal, too great to be small!

IF KIDNEYS AND BLADDER BOTHER

Take Salts to Flush Kidneys and Neutralize Irritating Acids. Kidney and Bladder weakness result from uric acid, gays a noted authority. The kidneys filter this acid from the blood and pass it on to the bladder, where it often remains to irritate and inflame, causing a burning, scalding sensation, or setting up an irrUation at the neck of the bladder, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the eight. The sufferer Is in constant dread, the water passes sometimes with a scalding sensation and is very profuse; again, there is difficulty in avoiding it. Bladder weakness, most folks call it, because they can't coutrol urination. While it is extremely annoying and sometimes very painful, this is really one of the most simple ailments to overcome. Get about four ounces of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast, continue this for two or three days. This will neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of Irritation to the bladder and urinary organs which then act normally again. Jad Salts Is inexpensive, harmless, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary disorders caused by urio acid irritation. Jad Salts is splendid for kidneys and causes no bad effects whatever. Here you have a pleasant, effervescent lithla-water drink, which quickly relieves bladder trouble. Adv.

The Price of Pork Chops and Bacon Here are reasons why the fine, fresh pork tenderloins and pork chops, or savory ham, or crinkly bacon, which you enjoy for breakfast, cost muchmore per pound than the market quotation on live hogs which you read in the newspaper: An average hog weighs 220 pounds. Of this, only 70 percent (154 pounds) is meat and lard. So, when we pay 15 a pound for ve hogs, we are really paying more than 21 a pound for the meat which we will get from these animals, even after taking into account the value of the by-products. Bu people st ow a preference for only one-third of the whole the pork chops, fancy bacon, and choice cuts from juicy hams. This means that when we are selling Premium bacon at 43 Vzf per pound wholesale and Premium hams at 30, there are other parts for which we get as low as 6 or 8 per pound. The net result is an average profit to us of less than 1 a pound. The choice cuts are higher because of a demand for them. Another thing: Only 35 pounds of the entire hog or about th is usually marketed at once. The rest must be pickled, cured, or smoked This takes months, and adds to the costs which must be met, Swift & Company, U. S. A.
