Selling Current to Private Companies The policy of permitting: the municipal light plant to sell current to private companies which in turn furnish it to small centers of population is a questionable one, and the board of public works did well in deferring action on the request of the Wayne Light and Power company, which sought this privilege. The municipal light plant originally was built by the Richmond taxpayers to furnish the utility for their homes, business houses and industrial concerns. They put up the money and have financed the improvements that since have been made. The original scope of the plant did not take into consideration the sale of current to pri
vate companies for distribution elsewhere. Had this been broached when the plant originally was founded, the plan undoubtedly would have been opposed bitterly. The latest proposal will entail the purchase of additional equipment for the plant sooner or later, it is said. In case of an accident to the machinery, the additional demands on it will mean prolonged interruption in making repairs, it is pointed out. The plant now is carrying about all the load it can produce. This is not an opportune time to buy machinery. Costs are at their peak. Soon, it is confidently believed, machinery will sell for much less than it does today. If this is true, the city will be forced to pay interest on a much greater investment than would be the case if it turned down the petition of the Wayne Light and Power company. The additional costs for equipment to take on this kind of business is estimated to be about $200,000. The pitizens of Richmond will not be in favor of this expenditure. They believe the plant should be made highly efficient for the use of the homes, business houses and factories of Richmond. They are opposed to an equipment to produce electricity to be sold to private companies.
Good Evening BY ROY K. MOULTON

Records show that during the past five years there were fewer suicides in the newspaper profession than in any other. After a person has been in the newspaper business for a while nothing disappoints him much. But it may be, as our friend F. M. K. says: "Journalism is another form of suicide, anyhow." Music Lover writes in to ask us whether Pagliacci is the name of an opera or a composer. We have often wondered. If we could answer a- question like that, we would not be writing a coloum for a living.

"Suppose we say $1,000?" "And you made $50,000 out of the deal? No, sir. I don't see the slightest chance to get you acquitted for $1,000, but, ahem, we might view the matter from another angle." "What do you mean?" "Looking at your case from a $5,000 angle, I don't see the slightest chance for you to be convicted."
Memories of Old Days In This Paper Ten Years Ago Today
Investigation of the charges of that dissatisfaction ranked among the inmates of the county poor institution was begun by the special committee appointed for that purpose. Superintendent of Police Gormon was the sponsor of an ordinance to aid retail merchants in their credit system by requiring all moving and transfer companies in the city to make weekly reports aa to what families had moved during the week. Announcement was made of the securing of Wayne O. Adams, a former Richmond man, to give a series of lectures on Panama, where he spent four years in work on the Panama canal. The engagement of Miss Josephine Cates, of this city, to Herbert Lahr, of Evansville, was announced.
More Killings Forecast By Murder of Enright CHICAGO, Feb. 6. War among Chicago's gunmen and labor union feudists to avenge the murder of Mossy" Enright, chief of feudists and leader of gunmet, today hinged upon, police efforts to apprehend and hold Buspects before the dead man's friends' found them and cancelled the score in their
I own fashion.
The call for the Enright clan had gone out, the police said, and "war and wholesale murder" was imminent. There probably will be "ten more killings", before the murderer is caught, the chief of police declared. ' Enright's fate was decided many weeks ago and gunmen shadowed him, biding their time until Tuesday night. Then they discharged the contents of a double barreled sawed-eff shot gun into his body as he sat in his automobile in front of his home.

PERSIANS AND AFGHANS HOSTILE TO BOLSHEVIK (By Associated Press) LONDON, Feb. 6 The attitude of both the Bolshevik! and the Afghans toward the Persians is becoming in
creasingly hostile, according to British war office advices. Unverified reports from the trans-Caspian area say that the transport of Bolshevik troops fthence is continuing at the rate of (about 2,000 a week. These troops are said to bo well equipped and led by
officers of the old Russian army. Their morale and training are believ-
ied to be good. A number of high mili-

The teacher had written 92.7 on the
blackboard, and to show the effect of multiplying by ten rubbed out the decimal point. She then turned to the class and said : "Now, Mary, where is the decimal point?" "On the duster, miss," replied Mary, without hesitation. Judge White is lelling-with relish of his encounter with a certain young matron of the Wiltshire district. It seems her husband had been spending most of his nights at the club and the lady hinted to His Honor that one of these days she might bring the matter into court. It was serious. The other day, however, encountering the judge on the street, she buttonholed him, saying: "Judge, I'm sorry I said all those things about my husband. He is all right, after all." "Why the change of heart?" asked White, curiously. "Well, the other night a burglar broke into the house and my husband laid him out with a poker.. I had heard that he was a poker expert and now I understand. The dear boy has
Use Cocoanut Oil For Washing Hair
If you want to keep your hair in good condition, be careful what you wash it with. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali, his dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo (which is pure and entirely greaseless, is much better than anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't possibly injure the hair. Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily, and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsfied cocoanut oil shampoo at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces Is enough to last everyone in the family for months. Advertisement.
LOCAL BARBER GIVES THANKS TO MR. CLEW! THISTLETH WAITE FOR RECOMMENDING PEPGEN
"I can't help thanking Clem Thistlethwaite, the druggist, for it was due to his telling me about Pepgen that I came to try it," says M. F. Lichtenfels, barber, 401 North Sixteenth street, Richmond. "It has been a wonderful help to me. For two years, I suffered with indigestion. It weakened my entire constitution, and I was in a general rundown way. I often arose in the mornings when I should have stayed in bed. 1 "At times I was so weak I could hardly get out of a chair. I am a barber by trade and I remember on a number of occasions that I had to lay my razor down and ask one of
the other barbers to finish my customer. I felt as if I couldn't stand on my feet a moment longer. "Pepgen did me a world of good and I now feel fine. A few days ago I called at a barber shop where I was formerly employed. The proprietor immediately remarked about how much betetr I was looking. "It is certainly a pleasure for me to indorse Pepgen." Pepgen is a tonic that is delicately adapted to a stomach need. It gently persuades digestion and assimilation. With the digestive tract in health, all organs resume normal and none shirk the responsibility that the keeping of health and vigor imposes upon them. Advertisement.

A PROPHET IS WITHOUT HONOR
Everything for which compensation is meted out, finally reverts back to the one creative power which makes all achievement possible human thought. And yet human thought in its highest accomplishment is not paid for in terms of dollars! For dollars are merely a medium of exchange. Whereas thought is a medium of expression, for which men are glad to pay in terms of gold and silver. But it is only as the mind Is brought to its finest development, thru constructive ideas, rendered into lasting service, that a man becomes big and of use in terms of eternal values. It is to 6uch that I would hand the badge of prophet! In, every community such noble thinkers live. Through an unsteady world such beings wend their way, lighting up the dark places with their touch of influence. Kind and uncritical, tho never blind, they thrust the spear points of their ideas thru the dense crowd often stopping it. The prophet is always the benefactor. He rarely realizes It, however, any more than those with whom he comes in contact, this fact alone going far to prove his fitness. But I believe that he is the one of whom the greatest prophet of all once said that if a man would become great, he must first become the least. For only as a man gets to the heart of the simplest and plainest of men, he is able to appreciate and understand the way and manner of the greatest. Honor him to whom honor is due; for the time always comes when the burdens of prophecy bear down upon a man and make late appreciation 'empty and like a hollow shell.
