The Quakers are the foremost of sev

former population to return to the land.
The Society of Friends In England and
America have raised over 1280.000 by vol
untary subscription, and are construct
ing these one, two and three-room houses
-depending on the size of the famlly-for
urns ranging from 4 to $11 apiece. At
present there are about 130 workers aid

ation. The departmental authorities sup
ply the lumber, while Volunteer artisans
of the society, aided by soldiers, who in
olvll life are carpenters and Joiners, de

Club Would Have
Roads Meet Here
The Omaha Commercial club wants the
Intersection of the Jefferson Highway,
wnioh Is the proposed WinrJpeg-lo-New
Orleans road, and the Lincoln highway
to occur In Nebraska, preferably at
Omaha. As a result the club has dele
gated Randall K. Brown. Robert Manley
and J D. Weaver to attend the Jefferson
highway meeting at New Orleans next
Monday and Tuesday for the purpose of
persuading the highway officials to place
Omaha on the route.
The new Jefferson highway will b a
direct road from Winnipeg. Can., to New
Orleans, as the Lincoln highway la from
New York to San Francisco. As Winni
peg Is directly north of Lincoln it is be
lieved a straight route from the Canadian
terminal to Omaha would be advan
tageous. The club will utge other towns and
cities along the Missouri river to send
delegates to New Orleans for this meet
ing to make a showing in favor of run
ning the Jefferson highway along the
Missouri river, touching these cities.

FINDING RETURN
CAPITALEXPECTS
Electric Lifht Rate Subject Upon
Which Hearing- Held at Com
mercial Club.
HOWELL WITH BLACKBOARD
"A fair rate of return for public
service capital," was a subject that
sounder! Innocent enough. The spe
cial electric light committee of the
Commercial club Invited a half doien
organiiatlons of the city to meet
them at the club rooms last night and
give them suggestions on the above
subject.
Innocent enough was the subject.
But H. Beecher Howell was there.
Naturally the discussion gyrated
around until it became largely an ex
aggerated exposition by Mr. Howell
himself as to how the water works
plant is being run and what savings
it bas made the people.
This occurred In spite of the fact that
Chairman J. A. Sunderland of the com
mittee announced that the committee
sourht light on the electric llsht s tua
tlon and he trusted the chair would be
pardoned If he called any one down who
rnlpht chance to dlpress from the Im
mediate subject In hand.
ol fiimei lltnrkhnard.
No sooner had this announcement of
the chairman settled into the minds of
the audience of fifty or more ihn Mr
Howell hung a blackboard on the wall
and showed his figures on the water
plant's cost of operation, depreciation
iuna, questionable accounts fund ninir.
Ing fund, and Interest charges. Nor did
the chairman call him down-not once.
Ho even asked questions himself, and
encouraged others to ask questions. Just
ss though the fifty busy business' men
had come out In the cold to discuss the
water plant Instead of the electric light
plant.
Even at that, the chart Mr. Howell had
prepared with his own hands contained
an error in addition of $301,000. His at
tention was called to this by Frank H.
Myers of the committee. Mr. Howell cor
rected It, and later explained that the
total was correct, but in copying the fig
ures from his brief he had neglected to
Insert one of the items which would have
made the balance.
When T, J. Mahonev axkeri iha
commissioner whether in determining
iai.es ana rear returns, a private corpora
should not be allowed to build up as
large a depreciation fund as the Metro
politan Water District had done, the
water commissioner was not definite and
clear In his reply.
Jndae Roemer Talks,
General George H. Harries, president of
the Omaha Electric Light and Pow.r
company, was present, but did not speak.
e introduced In his plaoe Judge John H.
Rocmer of Wisconsin, formerly chairman
of the publlo utilities commission of that
state. Judge Roemer pointed out that
each utility has a hasard peculiar to
Itself, and that these various haiards in
various lines have much to do with de
termining what should be a fair return
ag a reward for the Investment of capital
In such utility. "Where a utility Is con
stantly under attack," he said, "capital
Is also slow to Invest. Potential compe
tition from another proposed plant la
another factor that enters in. In short,
what return will capital invest money
upon? Is the real question. When you
have found that, you have found what
constitutes a reasonable return."
Corporation Counsel W. C. Lambert
made a general talk on corporation rate
controversies, and said that In his per
sonal opinion, per cent would be a fair
rate for the electric light company in
Omaha.
Mayor Dahlman, and Commissioners
Hummel and Jardine were present, but
said they merely oame for Information
and would not speak.
It was after this that Mr. Howell took
the floor and began to unfold his figures
on the water plant. Mr. Howell held that
the way to appraise a plant for rate
making purposes Is to determine what It
Is worth now for the purpose for which
It Is constructed, while Mr. Lambert held
that the method of determining the cost
of each part of a plant will stand the
tost better.

Musio Opens Up
Common Ground
In Many Tongues
The munlc department of the Omaha
Bua'.nrss Women's club gsve its first
open meeting at the Young Women's
fhrlstlsn assorlntlon auditorium Inst
evening when a program was presented
to the members and their friends.
Thomas J. Kelly, who Is ell Imown n
a musical lecturer a well as a pro
fessional musician, rave a talk, "Music
as a Forricn I Jinguae," and a s iort
musical program was given by the M sses
Vert lone Beats and Martha Green, with
Mr. Kelly accompanying.
In the ong botr ynnng Women dis
played beautiful voices used In a most
art'stle rtvimvr At the '. a .h y
were heard together In the flower scene
from "Madame Butterfly." In which
their voices blended harmoniously and
with convincing result. .Mr.' Kelly was
a splendid accompanist.
In the talk. "Music ss a Korelen
I-anguago." Mr. Kelly di-ew a cIosm
analogy between the study of music and
that of a forelpn tongue. As It Is ne-ej-sary
In order to understand a foreign
language to learn to liaten to It as well
as to learn to speak It. so Is It the samo
with the study of music.
As In the study of a foreign language
the person studying can not gain much
by being always accompanied with an
Interpreter, so also In music It Is neces
sary for the student to give something
of himself In effort and Interpreting or
he can not learn Its languaRe. Id ally to
study a foreign langi'age one must .lso
travel not only through the country, but
In It
This is the samo with musle. In this
travel one should study the things which
touch tho study of muslo, the life and
time of the composer end his human side
In order better to understand his mes
sage. Mr. Kelly brought out that while we
tire of poor things, great things grow
more beloved with familiarity. If one
understands the language of musio one
can converse In many foreign languages
through the great composers represent
ing them, in Bohemian through Hmetana
and Dvorak, Hungarian by Frans Llsrt.

posers and all of the other great lan
guages the same way.

TODAY'S BEAUTY HINTS
To whiten and beautify the complexion
permanently we have found no better
preparation than a lotion mad by dis
solving four ounces of spurmax in a half
pint of hat water, then adding two tea
spoonfuls glycerin. This removes any
pimples, shiny, muddy or sallow appear
ance, and wHl make anyone's akin clear,
smooth and velvety. It dies not show or
rub eff like powder; In fact, it seems a
part of the skin; and for removing tan
and freckles Is unequsled.
It is necessary to shampoo more fra
quntly in the warmer weather because
of excessive dust and the fact that the
head perspires more and Is usually more
exposed to the weather. The easiest to
use and quickest drying shampoo that
we can recommend to our readers can
be prepared very cheaply by dissolving
a teaspoonful of eanthrox, obtained from
your druggist. In a cup of hot water. This
rubbed into the scalp creates a thick
lather, soothing and cooling in Its action,
as well as very beneficial to scalp and
hair. After rinsing, the scalp is fresh
and clesn, while the hair dries quickly
and evenly, developing a bright luster
and a soft flufflneas that makes It seem
very heavy. Advertisement.
