PARIS, Nov. b6—Throughout the ruiped villages of northern and eastern France, small one-stary unpainted pine houses have appeared like mushrooms overnight. Sermaize-less-Bains, which had not a building left standing after the Germans were routed, today possesses ten of these minute bungalows, with six more in process of erection. The Quakers are the foremost of sev- eral smocicties engaged in assisting the former population to return to the land. The Soclety of Friends in England and America have raised over $250,00 by vol- untary subscription, and are construct- ing these one, two and three-room houses ~depending on the size of the family—for eums ranging from $4 to $i1 apiece. At present there are about 13 workers ald- ing the government In the work of restor- ation. The departmental authorities sup- ply the lumber, while Volunteer artisans of the soclety, alded by soldiers, who in civil life are carpenters and joiners, de- talled by the ministry of war for this work, do the building. Two hundred of these houses, accommodating more than $00 persons have already been completed, while 120 are under construction, In many instances furniture is sup- plled by the soclety, the French govern- ment defraying half the expense. In the majority of cases the Fireside Comfort soclety, whose sole aim Is the destri- bution of furniture among the needy, sup- plies the few simple necessities. The Friends conduct many other forms of rellef, Club Would Have Roads Meet Here The Omaha Commercial club wants the intersection of the Jefferson Highway, wnich is the proposed Winnipeg-to-New Orleans road, and the Lincoln highway to occur in Nebraska, preferably at Omaha. As a result the club h 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 be a direct road from Winnipeg, Can., to New Orleans, as the Lincoln highway is from New York to San Francisco. As Winni- peg is directly morth of Lincoln it is be- lleved a straight route trom the Canadian terminal to Omaha would be advan- tageous. The club will urge other towns and clties along the Missourl river to send delegates to New Orleans for this meet- ing to make a showing in favor of run- ning the Jefferson highway along me: e cities, Missouri river, touching th Conditions Reported On Mend in Mexico WASHINGTON, Nov. 5—Conditions in Mexico are improving and there are signs that give hope for a gradual return to order and prosperity there, according to a summary of advices from various parts of the republic made public tonight by the State department. The famine In Mexico City is sald to be over, rallway service has been re- established in many directions, the Car- ranza government is distributing food to the destitute and, while business is dull compared to peaceful years, it is pl tured as better than at any time since the revolt against Diaz began Reports from border points Indicated that the whereabouts of Villa were un- | known.

The spe |eial electric light committee of the | Commercial elub invited a half dozen {organizations of the eity to meet | them at the club rooms last night and give them suggestions on the above subject. | Innocent enough was the subject. But R, 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 |1t has made the people. | _This occurred in spitq of the fact that | Chairman J. A. Sunderiand of the com- | mittee announced that the committeo sourht light on the clectric licht situa- tlon and he trusted the chalr would be pardoned if he called any one down who might chance to digress from the im. mediate subject In hand | Out Comes Blaekboard. | No socner had this announcement of | the chairman settled into the minds of the audience of fifty or more than Mr. | Howell hung a blackboard on the wall |and showed his figures on the water plant's cost of operation, depreciation fund, questionable accounts fund, sink- ing fund, and interest charges. Nor did { the chairman call him down-not once, |He even asked questions himself, and | encouraged others to ask questions, just as though the fifty busy business men ha plant. IEven 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. Mahoney asked the water commissioner whether in determining rates and fair returns, a private corpora- should not be allowed to bufld 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. Judge Roemer Talks, General George H, Harrles, president of the Omaha Electric Light and Power company, was present, but did not speak. He introduced in his place Judge John H. Roemer of Wisconsin, formerly chairman of the public utilities commission of that state. Judge Roemer pointed out that each utility has a hazard pecullar to Itself, and that these varlous hazards in varfous 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 {s con- stantly under attack,” he sald, “capital is also slow to invest. Potentlal compe- tition from another proposed plant is | 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, 4 per cent would be a fair rate for the electric light company in Omaha, | Mayor Dahlman, and Commissioners Hummel and Jardine were present, but sald 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 s to determine what it |1s worth now for the purpose for which {1t is constructed, while Mr, Lambert held that the method of determining the cost |of each part of a plant will stand the | test better.
