* RESENT CRITIISH Piea by Oficar of Comn. Light and Power Co. “Give the public utilities industry & chance,” was the plea made by C. L. Campbell, secretary and treas- urer of the Cohnecticut Light and Fower Co., at a meeting of the Ro- tary club of this city today. His talk concerned the “Servant and the Public” the public utilities industr: and the proposed governmental in- vestigation of it. *“Don’t let your- sclves be carried off your fect by the howling of the wolves,” stated the speaker. He pleaded that the causes of the errors made in the industry, “of which there are doubt- lens some,” be removed and that the business itself be allowed to con- tinue. Mr. Campbell stated that there is & great misunderstanding between the public utilities industry and th layman. The latter consider the public utilities thelr servant. and righttully, and they feel that they ean criticize as they see fit. Mr. Campbell stated that the criticism arises, many times, from failure to mpnderstand what the industry. as a whole, is attempting to carry out. #They don't investigate” he said. ®They just criticize.”” He informed fhe Rotarians that “we are trying o do the job as we sce it, the bes! ey we can.” Speaking of the proposed federal vestigation, he stated that errors tfll doubtless be found. He urged Bis listeners to realize that the men f» the public utilities industry are @nly human end they have human failings and the human tendency to pake mistakes at times. But be. ©of the fact that thers have n errors is no reason for throt- Qing the industry, he declared. I Kknow of no industry that is as free from mistakes as, or any more hon- $otly conducted than, the public ptilities,” he said. He pointed to the example of the fallroads when they reached a pros- perous condition and of the manner in which they wers footballs for poli- | ticlans, with the result that a condi tion almoet approaching government. ownership became necessary. “Those who had the misfortuns to ride on the trains during that time know what the service was.” stated the @peaker. Tha electrical industry he mid, I8 enjoying a period of prosper- ity and is reaping the fruits of its earlier labor. Referring again to possible mis- takes he said, the thing to do is to @et rid of “the crabapple tree in the orchard: don't cut down the entire orchard.” Because errors have been made, don't condemn the industry. was the substance of his statement. The meeting was largely attended, the captains of the teams in the at- tendance drive reporting an increas- ed percentage Duncan Shatw, represented Glover post, American Fddy- Commander Richard E. Byrd in this | city on February 5, at which time he will deliver a lecture at the Strand theater. WAL New York, Jan. 26 (A—Mayor James J.

Advisory Committee for Aeronau- tics. | Considerable pregress has been !made in thie direction through modified mercerization and treat- | ment of cotton yarn to give it the required strength elasticity and re- siliency, but the work is heing con- tinued with the hope of preducing |an even bettar material. At present, | silk remains the best material for | parachutes because of its elasticity | which givex it a tendency to spring out and unfold itself when released from tight wrappings. Until recently, the 1lnited States, which needs 000 parachutes n peace time and would require 30,- 000 to 40,000 in event of war, has been dependent upcn Japan for properly woven fabric. American research workers have, however, developed & method for weaving the silken atrands which gives them greater strength and more of the required “bounce than is found in the Japaness product. Never- theless, it is still necessary to im- port the raw materfal. A para- chute three years, requires from 60 to 75 square vards of material. Experiments have been made with fthe cellulose substitute for silk, but their tendency to abgorb moisture has interfered with their wffectiveness, and the best results thus far have been obtained with the long staple Arizona-Egyptian cotton. | Enlisted men of the U. § army ave saved $65,243.22 in the last 65 J ars.
