This newspaper has produced hundreds of gas bills showing an unwarranted increase not to be explained by normal conditions and pointing to fraud. It has revealed the existence of a gas monopoly, pre- viously denied, aud pointed out the helplessness of the consumer against the Rockefeller influence which con- fronts him whichever way he turns for relief. o I, has offered evidence of the sale by the companies of an inferior quality of fuel oil gas, the thinning out of this denser gas with air and the extension of favorit- ism to large customers as contrasted with the refusal of simple commercial courtesy to small consumers. It) thas disclosed the fact that while nearly all. meters are “fast,” the number of meter inspectors is wholly in- adequate for their inspection, and that cases of rebates granted for “fast” meters are very rare, Incidentally it has proved that a profit of more than 100 per cent. is made by the companies, and that while they are greatly overcapitalized their stock is quoted at $225 o share. The increase of $60 a share within ‘three years sufficiently indicates how remunerative the manufacture of gas is at the cut rate of $1 per thousand, i Is there nothing in this evidence calling for a legis lative inquiry?

ANY SINCE 7'M IN TAOWN, TER STAND ONTH/S By Harriet Hubbard Ayer, A certain resentment is felt at Cornell and Ithaca @enerally at the prominence the metropolitan press has given to the reports of the typhold epidemic there, They feel especially indignant at the editorial reproof adminis- tered for the tolerance of the conditions that invited the visitation of disease, notably the failure to provide a pure water supply. An epidemic of disease in a college town is always serious, typhoid most so because of the lability to in- fection of youths near the age of twenty. A like im- portance was given to the similar epidemics at Yale and Princeton in previous years. The point the New York Press sought to make was that in view of the better scientific knowledge of the cause and prevention of ty- : phoid, the more enlightened sanitary methods and the| OFFICIAL RAnGE soclETY FARYENTION OF improved safeguarding of city water supplies, it was!

HE Easter bridal wave !s sweeping over my corner of Tho T Evening World office. Dally queries of the prospective bride have evoked these suggestions. It is the normal, natural girl who looks ¢orward to mer- © riage and hopes for the advent of Prince Charming, who is to make her the happiest of women and who is to be made happy by her for ever and ever. The danger is that nice, frank girls are not the shrewdest of observers and very few of them are character readers. Hence a few words of counsel which may prove to be wort) remembering: First of all, don’t fall in fove with a young man’s tools o7 his clothes. Bo sure {t is the man himeelf that attracts you. Don't promise to marcy him until you have found out that he can support you. Settle ell religious points of difference once and for all before your engagement is @ day old. Don't marry @ man whose mother you @islike or whose mother shows an invincible distaste for you. Much of the wretobedness of married people may be properly ascribed to the unfair attitude of mothers-in-law, who, after obstinate prejudices which are purely whimsical, accep sufferance, and to the young wives who assume from the start with all the “in-laws” of the hus- family. If you really love a man you cannot help feeling tenderly toward his moth ‘There is not the lightest excuse for the wife who shows her husband's mother disrespect. There is no palliating the offense of the man who is ¢udd to bts wife's parents. This does mot mean that mothers and fathers of the newly married pair are to be permitted to reign over the new home or to interfere with the young wife's rule, A new home should have but one queen and she should be the happy little wife. It should have but one lord, and he should be the husband. Parents-in-law should understand that they are guests—not bosses of the new Eden. : ‘There are a good many points that should be settled before marriage, the sooner after the engagement the better. First of all, insist on a home of your own, Better two rooms in the humblest home than to share a palace with others. Don’t marry any man on the advice of friends, but do mot decline to listen to the serious words of an old, true friend, WORSE THAN BREAKIN'A é . ae though they may not precisely fit in with your views of | TURN ‘ROUND, MISTER, AN YER KIN STAND ON/T.

It &s not much of a compliment to cause a man to feel that unless ho is taking you to a theatre or a dance you ere bored. Many girls appear to gauge a man's attractions and desira- bitty by the amount of money he spends on entertaining them.
