PAGE TWELVE . One of the old. customs of Candleâ€" mas day, February 2, in Scotland, was that on this occasion, the pupils in schools were supposed to make smmall ‘presents of money to their teachers. Sixpence and a shilling were the most common sums given, but some would offer a half crown {about 62 cents or $1.25). These gifts would seem small in this counâ€" try, but they were valued in frugal old Seotland. | A Candlemas Day School Custom uds S IaUn work jJuSt P\‘AYr‘Y r-he,l\ es to rive the. dirt away UDS thoroughly enjoys his ,S,,,w"n"mm ;;a‘ hrough Zfi_m"‘*';-nd . theo f;- see dowbocpno nfla and all mussed u'{‘ He likes to them in shape m?â€".nli he likes to take over the LOOK FOR SUDS & DUDS Only 50¢ Down Daylight Kitchen Unit Light turns on and off at handy pendarnit switch enabling you to plug in your iron, toaster or other appliance. â€" PUBLIC SERVICE COMF OF NORTHERN ILLINOIS WILLIAM GUYOT, District‘ Superinte 51 S.

FAVOR UTILITIES . FOR INVESTMENTS "Gas and electric light ‘and power securities, of all public utility securiâ€" ties, at present: hold a commanding place in the investment public‘s eye. And rightly, for the services rendered by these two giants of, the public utility family (water alone not eountâ€" ed), is perhaps the most necessary of all the service rendered by public utility companies," says B. C, Cobb, viceâ€"president of Hodenpyl, Hardy & company, investment bankers, in the Nation‘s Business. P j "The fact that gas securities have during the past. twenty years of transition somewhat lost the lead to those issued by electric light and power companies does not in any way. mean that they have been croweded off the boards. While the lighting field of gas companies has largely been taken over by the electric"comâ€" ‘panies, their sales for other purposes, fuel for cooking and for the indus= tries, have increased enormously. This surely is proof of the stability of the business and an indication of its pos« sibilities,. In addition to all this the advancement of the business and the improvement in _ manufacturing méethods have been more rapid in the past ten years ‘ than in any prior \twentyâ€"year period," says Mr. Cobb. j "Since 1905 the growth of the elec tric light and power companies has been phenomenal. Not only has this growth been in the lighting field, but in the pewer and industrial field as well. And it is altogether likely that the record for the next ten years will be equally astounding, for those who know best say that the development of the industry has only just begun." The average share of the national wealth owned by each citizen is said to be about $2800, but it is not possiâ€" ble to obtain that share merely by asking for it. $ Electricity and Other Like Facilities Gain in Popâ€" ular Esteem THE HIGHLAND PARK PRESS, HIGHLAND PARK, ILLINOIS ndent WHAT GOOD IS ART? «_ _ s is OFTEN QUESTION Value of Good Pictures Demonâ€" strated in Many Ways; . Instances 2 What good is art? This is often asked. The man who toils in a mill all day and comes home tired and worn is supposed to have no interâ€" est in anything but an easy chair, a pipe and a daily newspaper. But when he icomes home if he can find restful, harmonious surroundings, & wellâ€"designed easyâ€"chair, a cheerful looking . tableâ€"lamp, and some interâ€" esting paintings to look at as he rests his tired frame, it will add greatly to his ejoyment and make home a place which will draw him to it unâ€" consciously. x hsn Good pictures have a way of taking one‘s interest and holding it to the exâ€" clusion of a great deal of discontent and grief. If one cannot afford paintâ€" ings, good reproductions of great works of art are everywhere availâ€" able. In his talk before the governâ€" ing members of the Art Institute last Tuesday, exâ€"mayor Carter H. Harriâ€" son told of an experience he had durâ€" ing the strenuous campaign for the mayorality in â€"1911. He was a candidate at the primarâ€" ies and had gone through the hottest campaign of his career. What with conferences, party fights, and a whirlâ€" wind speechâ€"making windâ€"up, the finâ€" al day of the contest found him so utâ€" terly exhausted that he was almost prostrated. Making his way out inâ€" to the open air he thought to gain some fresh energy. In a few moâ€" ments he passed by the window of an art dealer on Michigan avenue and noted that within was an important display of paintings by George Inâ€" ness, the great American landscape painter. He entered and for three hours was so completely absorbed by the magic art of Inness that he forâ€" got all about the terrific struggles of his campaign, and of his mental and physical weariness. "I am glad to note," said Mr. Harrison, in conâ€" cluding his story, "that these same paintings are now hanging in the I_n- ness Room at the Art Institute, the generous gift of our fellowtownsman, Edward B. Butler." Now if making out your income tax return could only be made as popular a game as getting out cross word puzzles, the â€" government . officials would be happy. Although the public approves of President Coolidge‘s idea of a simple inauguration, he is likely to get deâ€" layed if he attempts to ride up to the capitol in the street cars. j Making Americans HE LESSONS the war taught have not all been forgotten. The need of I this country eight years ago for a more complete nationalism among its > population is as urgent today as then. The North Shore Line has miet this need in one of its most interesting activitiesâ€"the classes in Americaniâ€" zation begun several years ago for the Lenefit of its foreignâ€"born employes. Track laborers, usually newlyâ€"arrived in this country, are given simple instrucâ€" tion twice a week at Racine and Highwood in language and civics under the supervision of the North Shore Educational Director. They aré also aided in takingout theirfirstpapers in citizenship. Duringthe winter, whenthe men must be constantly ready g)‘r work, school is held in the section houses where theylive. Where there was once indifference, there is now a determined enthusiasm to know all about this country of adoption, and the policies of the North Shore Line. It has resulted in a greater stabilization among a commonly floating type of labor.
