THE BEE: OMAHA. TUESDAY. MARCH 1. 1921. 7 Experts Clash in Hearing on Light And Power Rates Man From Boston, Appearing For City, Grills New Yorker, Developing Many Points Of Disagreement. The outstanding feature of the electrict light and power rate hear ing before the cit council yesterday vas the appearance of Alton D. Adams of Boston, for the city, and his rigid examination of V. J. Hen derson of New York, expert for the Nebraska l'owcr company. The New York man was quizzed in connection with his lengthy tes timony offered when the hearing was opened last December. The questions and answers exchanged by Mr. Adams and Mr. Henderson bristled with little points of dis agreement relating to theories of costs and values, depreciation and other technicalities. Summary of Original Cost. Mr. Henderspn is testifying to his "cost study" of the local electric light plant. He started his work with the company's records of 1885 and then made what he referred to ic a litctfirifa I analvsie nf alt costs which went into the plant, allowing for replacements, he said. His sum mary of the actual original cost of the plant to November "30, 1920, was $12,083,659,46. divided as fol lows: Fixed ' capital, $9,570,621.69; additions to fixed capital, January 1, to November 30, 1920, $1,122, 427.40; actual workinf capital, No vember 20. 1920. $1, 390,61 0.37. Mayor Offers Comment. Mayor Smith noted that Mr. Hen derson's statements showed an item of $1,444,119.97. which represented "pain and suffering." or "investors' sacrifice." The witness was exam ined with respect to his showing of $100,000 as plant capital in 1889, when the New Omaha Thompson Houston company was started. He explained that there was a transac tion during that year Vhich war ranted accepting that total as rep resenting the total assets of the company at that time. During the afternoon session Mr. Henderson said to Mr. Adams, "Please don't put words ito my mouth." Disagree on Par Value. There was a brief verbal passage between the experts on their respec tive understandings of . the i,. term "fair value." v ' The hearing brought out the state ment from Mr. Henderson that the opening account .of the, Omaha Electric Light & Power company when it. was started in 1903, was $3,701,000;. - . . ; ;. . Officers o the conipupy brought in an old' journal record, dated September 20, 1885, shelving an. in ventory, which was closely scru tinized by the mayor' and city com missioners. ' During the morning session Mr. Adams, who examined Mr. Hender son for the city, stated he was think ing and talking in terms of physical things and asserted that Mr. Hender son was speaking in bookkeeping terms. It was difficult for these experts to see the same things at the same time. The hearing- will be continued for several days. ; - ' "Human Fly" Scales Wall And Loots Tailor Shop Early yesterday morning a man scaled the outside wall of the Baird block, entered a room on the second story occupien by Theodore Volz & Sons, tailors, took. 18 bolts of cloth and then departed. , William Hilley. 1507 Cuming street, negro janitor at the Brandeis theater building, saw the man scal ing the wall.

Acorn Spirit of Saving Prevalent Here, Says Paul Kulms People Now Laying Aside Money to Invest in Homes, Declares Loan Associa tion Head. The thrift and savings period which was ushered in with the new year, and which resulted in a great increase of savings deposits in banks and other savings institutions, has not waned a particle. If anything, the spirit of thrift has increased, ac cording to Paul V. Kuhns, president of the Conservative Savings and Loan association. "Men and women have begun to think for themselves," said Mr. Kuhns. "They have learned through this period of readjustment that their salvation and prosperity rest mainly with themselves and they are thinking accordingly. Men and women are putting sums aside each week which they mean to invest in homes when the proper time comes. I hey know that build ing conditions will be more, favor able in the future and that there will be opportunities to invest in homes. They are now adding to the nest egg which will allow them to take ad vantage of the opportunity when it arrives. "The spirit of saving is prevalent all over the city. I have noticed it in all the banks and building and loan companies and associations. A gradual decline of food and clothing prices has made it possible to save on that part of home expens es. As prices decline other savings will be made. Judicious buying and careful expenditures of home funds make themselves known in the sav ings deposits of the Omaha banks. I his spirit of saving will con tinue and I don't expect a recurrence of the wild spending during and just following the war." Dr. Rosewater to Donate $20,000 to Smith College Dr. Charles Rosewater has an nounced that he will donate $20,000 to Smith .college as a fund in mem ory of his deceased daughter, Irene, who graduated from that institution in 1918. It had been the wish of his daughter to create such a fund at Smith college for girls unable to finish their course, according to Dr. Rosewater. The fund will be in charge of three members of the faculty. Shortening of Skirts Held To Be Cause of Immorality In his sermon at the Calvary Bap tist church Sunday evening, Evan gelist E. S. Stucker declared the devil, the dressmaker and the im modest young woman have, conspired to wreck the character of the young man.

"Why is Abraham Lincoln called beautiful?" asked a prominent Omaha woman after reading a recent magazine article on the Great Eman cipator. It is strange to hear him so called, if one's idea of manly beauty runs to the collar ad type of features. But to a character analyst regular, sym metrical features count for little if not backed up by the light of a keen spirit behind them. Get a picture of Abraham Lincoln without a beard and take a good look at it, girls. Compare your sweet heart's features to it. Has he the "scrapper's nose," as shown there, a nose showing that he has the courage of his convictions and the energy to back them up, even to the point of hstcuffsr If he has that sort of a nose, it's a fairly safe bet you'll be well taken care of. Have you seen many mouths and chins like Abraham Lincoln's? Kind ness and sweetness, understanding of human nature and love of humanity show up in these features of Lincoln as plain as print. Yet the face is strong and firm, even though gener ous and warm. Avoid This Mouth. Very different characteristics are expressed by the features of a certain famous American captain of industry. His mouth is particularly noticeable. With the thin lips closed it forms a straight, hard line, the under lip very slightly protruding. That is a selfish, unyielding mouth. Girls, don't marry a man with a mouth like that, unless it is softened by extreme sweetness of character denoted in other features. Literature is full of expressions such as "cruel, sinister lips," or "a full-lipped, loose and sensual mouth." You will find it interesting to watch your neighbors and friends, and see if their mouths match what you know of their personality. Study mouths as you come downtown on the street cars. The mouth is one feature that changes very easily in response to a change in the emotional nature. Those "Down-Droop" Lips. Many a woman who is shut up in four walls all day and feels them a prison; many a man who is discon tented with in's lot in life because he is a "round peg in a square hole;" many a boy or girl who has the mis taken notion that the world owes him or her a living, without recog nizing that it's a man-size job to col lect that living many of thcc will show a distinct down-droop of the lips. Keen-eyed people, without con sciously studying character analysis, have said oi such mouths, "What a discontented, what a cross-looking mouth that person has." You can go farther and hunt other signs of dis content or unhappiness in the sum total of that person's physical char acteristics. Editor's not!

Coyote Takes Refuge In Church; Is Spared Green Klin, Kan., Feb. J8. Find ing all avenues of retreat cut olT by men engaged in a wolf drive here yesterday, a large coyote sought the refuge of a church and was saved. Rev. John Knnis was in the midst ot an earnest appeal for Christian work and Sabbath observation, when the coyote bounded through the door and up the aisle. The startled pastor and congrega tion saw the frightened animal dash to a place of safety in a comer be hind the organ. As the church mem bers had bitterly opposed Sunday wolf drives, the pastor calmly sug gested that the church-going coyote be given protection. The roundup ended in failure. The coyote was left in the church all day and at dusk a deacon opened the door and the animal departed hastily.
