ANOTHER RECORD IN ELECTRICAL OUTPUT Govt, Report Also Shows: Rhode Island Third in Use of Fuel Oil The average dally production of. electricity by, public utility power "plants of the United States in Octo- ber, as was predicted last month by the United States Geological Survey, broke all records of output, making the fourth time that a record has been established since May. The dally production of electricity in October ~was 139,100,000 kilowatt-hours—a lit. tle more than three per cent, greater than the September record ahd nearly nine per cent. greater than the first record which was established in June, It is expected that the average dally output for November and December will each establish records. The total output for the perlod January to October, inclusive, was 38,6568,000,- 200 kilowatt-hours—an Increase of more than 16 per cent. over the same period for 1921, « The use qf fuel oil end gas in the production of electricity by public ut]ity power plants evidently reached |" a maximum in Septéember as the dally consumption of these two fuels in October deceased from the September figures. This was ‘probably due 'to improvement in the€ coal supply and also to the seasonal change in the consumption of these fuels. Records for previous years show that there is & marked decrease in the use of gas for fuel by public utility power plants during the winter season and that the consumption of fuel ofl remains fairly uniform with perhaps a tendency to ! decrease during the same period. In this connection it is interesting . to note that the little state of Rhode 1 Island used in the month of October ; more fuel oil in its production of | electricity than any other state in the Union save California and Texas. California used 313,615 barrels; Texas, 283,464, and Rhode 1Island, 129,073, FASCISTI REPRISALS Mnsnolml'; Men.

ASH INVESTIGATION OF REILY CHARGES Porto Rioans Aroused be Palitical Accusations of Governor New York, Dec, 20.—Antonio = R. Barcelo, president of the Porto Rican senate and leader of the Unionists, the majority party in both legislative bodies of the island, appealed yester- day to President Harding for an im- mediate investigation into the charges made by Gov, Gen, I, Mont Relly on his arrival in New York that accusa- tions of misconduct in his adminis- tration of ‘Porto Rico had been trumped up by persons discontented by their fallure to obtain, political sinecures. “1f what Governor Reily states pub- liely is true or anything approaching it,"” Sengw Barcelo said in a telegram to the president, “the guilty should be apprehended and indicted; otherwise the accuser himself should be indicted as a slanderer.” Senor Barcelo wired the president that Governor Relly’s statements were “of such grave character that for the honor of the United States, of Porto Rico, that of yourself as chief exgcu- tive of this nation an my own as president of the insular senate and leader’of the majority party they call for immediate investigation. “You, yourself, know that the only one_who has been accused by a grand jury of malversation of public funds is Governor Reily himself, who, tak- ing advantage of his office, has hith- erto avolded trial, dismissing district attorneys and other officers,” the message continued, “Before starting judicial proceed- ings afainst the governor for his un- called for statements, I respectfully submit to your high consideration this unusual situation in my own name and those of the senators and RUM GRAFT RING l'!m('d States District Attorney Tells of Clique Operating in Federal Buyilding in Brooklyn.

Speaking of his investigation, Mr, Greene said: s “There is at present operating in the very confines of the federal build- ing a club, or ring, or organization which hus been consistently shaking down persons engaged in violating the Volstead -act under the guise of pro- tectfon. It is composed of at least one lawyer, somefJawyers' runners, a private detective and - prohibition agents. » “Evidence presented to me ‘within the last 24 hours plainly indicates the oxistence of this ring: Extorting money from saloonkeepers and others who are handling liquor illegally has been on the increave, Report after report has reached us sconcerning the activities of this group.”’ Mr. Greene sald that most of the 50. subpoenaes issued | for restaurant and cabaret owners, lawyers and oth- ers who will be asked to tell what they: know of grafting on prohibition hagd been served.

He sald the Unionist party, opposed to the governor, had 27 out of 39 representatives, 15 out of 19 in the senate, controlled more than 42 of 65 municipalities, and claimed as’ their representative Felix Cordova Davila. Porto Rican repre- sentative in the American congress, Senor Barcelo's statements . were supported by . Alfonso Lastra Char- riez, speaqer pro tempore of the Porto Rican lower house, who charged that Governor Reily had used every means in his power to win over the two leg- islative bodies of the island. He said the lower house declared vacant the seat of Senor Cay Coll-Cuchi, former speaker, who went over to Governor Reily's side. The statemenpt was made . that should the appeal to President Hard- ing fall to meet with a response, steps would be taken to sue Governor Reily for slander in the American courts. ‘The intimation was also given that an attempt to begin im- peachment proceedings against him might be niade in the courts here.

Miss Jeannette Charash who yearly places thousands of girls in secretar- fal positions says so. Morality? Not a bit of it. It's just plain business sense. And then Miss Charash explains: “A girl may be the best stenogra- pher in the world but if she totters into an office on a pair of high heels and ralses to her prospective boss a face too generously rouged, that man will infer she is a girl who pays more attention to her appearance than to her work. “At first glance one can't tell how much s inside a girl's head. But by the way she removes her hat, by her attitude toward taking the tests I can tell whether a girl s disciplined, whether she {8 gracious in her man- ner, whether she is accurate, neat and reliable. “By her entrance into my office, by|. the manner in which she asks for a job or shows me her letters of intro- duction I can determine whether she has the tact necesgary for a good private secretary.” ' As proof that her system works, Miss Charash points out that 95 per cent of the ‘rlu she places stay put. DON'T, Here are Miss Charash's ‘“dont's"” for girls seeking secre- tarial positions: DON'T dress conspicuously or use make-up. DON'T, it you are told to re- port at 9 o'clock, attempt to force yourself upon the person's atten- tion earlier. DON'T fling letters of introduc- JEANNETTE CHARASH. tion down on the desk careMwsiy.
