Municipal Inefficiency ' The full effect of the disagreement between the city council, on one hand, and the board of works, on the other, was felt last night when the city was plunged into darkness because of the failure of an old pump in the municipal light plant to. supply the boilers with water. Members of the board of works and the superintendent of the plant said they knew for months that the pump was inefficient and sooner or later would cease to operate. A new pump is in the plant, but has not been installed because of lack of funds. Members of the board said they hesitated to go ahead, fearing criticism from the city council. Last night's breakdown illustrates the foolishness and the menace of the disagreement and misunderstanding that exists between the two bodies. So long as they maintain their policy of antagonism, the municipal light plant is going to be the plaything of politics, and the citizens, who have an investment of $1,000,000 in a plant, earning about $400,000 annually, are going to pay the bill. The time is here when the picayunish policy must cease. The plant must be maintained at a

high point of efficiency, and continuous opera-

Today's Talk By George Matthew Adams CTOUCHING AROUND THE WORLD. It was onca said of the great artist Xiegros that "he touched nothing 'which he did not improve by his touch and ho touched everything!" No wonder a recent writer wrote of thi3 man that "if ever a painter destroyed masterpieces, It was this Master." And yet what he did leave remains so great that "it will endure so long as art itself shall endure," says another writer. To touch the atmosphere of the world with influence that inspires and helps to build, is in itself to be great. When Lincoln died, Secretary Stanton exclaimed: "Now he belongs to the ages!" Lincbln touched the very heart of all humanity. v The touch of the hand we love warms and sweetens every fibre of our being. How great, then, is that touch of our invisible feeling and character which hourly goes out from what we are to ptey its part in the move and stir of daily life! We are all all the time touching around in the world! Everything touches. The beautiful picture, the colored landscape, the song of some bird, the play of a child these things touch. We can none of us live to ourselves alone. It is out glad chance to touch each day to make it better! Memories of Old Days In This Paper Ten Years Ago Today Democratic and Republican leaders of the county were predicting a large ,vote at the general election In November. It was planned to print 19,643 ballots to be apportioned among the precinct voting boards. After buying a half Interest in a restaurant back of Louis Muth's saloon for $300, Harry Williams, of Cambridge City, found that he had been swindled. The restaurant was run by Louis Reason, who paid a commission to Muth. Williams worked for several days with Reason, and when Reason offered to sell half interest in the place, alleging he owned the property, Williams paid him $300. Reason left town and had not been located. ' Masonic Calendar Monday, Oct. 25 Richmond Commandory No. 8. K. T. Special conclave; work in the Order of the Temple, beginning at 7 o'clock. Tuesday.

Why feed my money to the cows when yonder savings bank allows a seemly interest rate? Too long, too long I've thrown away the shining plunks I drew as pay, and hit a caudy gait." And now the merchant princes rise, and say to clerks and kindred guys, "Our prices must come down; so let's reduce some picavunes on every pair of pantaloons, and every velvet gown."

tion must be assured. There is too much at stake. Not only the money invested by the taxpayers in their plant, but also the ability of the wage earner to work continuously. If the plant should deteriorate to such a point that it must be closed for days or weeks to make repairs, thousands of men employed in factories that obtain current from the plant will be thrown out of employment. This happened at Kokomo, Washington and Logansport not long ago, when the utilities were unable to give service because the plants had been permitted to. become ineff icint. - .

COURT LANGUAGE CAUSES SPLIT IN LEAGUE COUNCIL BRUSSELS, Oct. 25. A particular point considered by the council of the league of nations at Saturday's session was whether French or English should be the official language of the permanent international court, but no decision was reached. The council decided to refer back to the supreme council of the allied powers the question of Armenia, it being unable to accept the guardianship of the minorities in the territoriea transferred under the Austrian and Bulgarian treaties. The appointment of a commission to settle the dispute between Sweden and Finland over the Aland islands was approved. One member of the commission probably will be American.

r 1 ( Answers to Questions O. W. N.-Please tell briefly what the federal reserve bank system Is? The federal reserve bank system consists of twelve federal reserve banks. All national banks are required to come Into the System, or liquidate. State banks may join. Member banks supply all the capital of the federal reserve banks and are required to put In the federal reserve banks an amount of gold equal to a fixed percentage of their deposits. Federal reserve banks are authorized to lend money or rediscountto the member. banks; also to issue currency secured by commercial paper. Each of the twelve banks has directors, part of whom are elected ; by member banks, and a federal agent appointed by the President of the United States, and all are under general supervision of the federal reserve board, appointed by the President The purpose of the system is to make the banks of the country more efficient, by providing a means for promptly rediscounting paper, and supplying currency when the need arises. Reader In reading Poe's poem, "The iJells," I, notice he spells alarm "alarum." Are both correct or what is the reason for this spelling? "Alarum" is derived from the old Norman-French "larum," a thief. During early Norman times It was necessary to have on each estate a "larum bell," that is, a thief-bell, to give notice of the presence of robbers. Instead of the present "Stop thief" the ancient cry would be "A larum! A larum!" Our modern word "alarm" evidently arose in this way.
