Real Purpose Served
by Cultivating Hobby
If more people had real hobbies
there would be fewer cases of nerv-
ous breakdown, according to' Dr. H.
P. Kilander, writing in llygeia, the-
I Health Magazine. Hobbies keep ,
children out of mischief and they j
relieve the monotony of routine life ’
for adults. It is .well to be able to
lose oneself for an hour, an eve-
ning, or even for a day In some-
thing that is not related to the daily
tasks, tills author related.
A desirable hobby should furnish
enjoyment, pleasure and gratifica-
tion; it shouM require a minimum
of equipment and expense, la Doc-
tor Kilander’s opinion. Many hob-
hips may be distinctly educational.
Literature, music and aptrononly are
examples of. that type. Physical as
"ell Us mental health" may be im-
proved by a hobby ; sports*.are of
distinct value.-,
Many hobbies an* started acci-
dentally without forethought. It is
vyell, however, suggests Doctor Kil-
amler, that parents .'and educators
should plan indirectly to guide chil-
dren. Ib/Forfaitt desirable interests'
i’n order that their leisure time may
he wisely spent.
Recreation has become a neces-
sity, writes Doctor Kilander. .The
trends of the times indicate that the

Famous Dinosaur Skeleton
The dinosaur on exhibition at
Peahody museum of Vale university
is nearly 74 feet long, 16 feet high”,
ant! the skeleton weighs six- and a
half tons-. Its estimated weight
when alive was between 37 and 40
tons. The specimen ivns discovered
h.v William Reed in Wyoming In
1SS1, and the bones were brought
to Vale under the direction of Prof?
Otbnjel C. March, whose research
resulted in this type’s being -known
as Brontosaurus excelus. At Yale’s
bicentennial In 190f a portion, of the
skeleton was mounted and exhibit-
ed. Lack of space prevented the
erection of the rest, which remained
in storage. A few years ago the
mounting was begun anew, the hail
of Peabody being especially con-
structed to house this one animal.

Facing the Facts
Pioneers of the old Southwest solved
besetting difficulties by squorely facing
fhe facts and lhen doing something
about them. In industry today in this sec
Hon-, we are confronted with problems
ftp less serious than were met by our pre-
decessors of decades dgo:
lei us- consider the cose ftf Central
Power and light Compony. Through in-
creasing its volume of business and con-
sequent lowering of distribution costs per
kilowatt hour, the company was able to
effect rate reductions averaging 32? dur-
ing the five-year period ending with 1931:
Ouring this same period, the quality of
service wos constantly improved.
In spite of the belief of most people
that the use of efectricify has not dropped
off in these unsettled times, Central Power
and light must deal with the’ undeniable
fact that the company's electric revenues
hove declined appreciably during the
post two years! Yet, millions of dollars
have been brought into this territory in
the forms of power'plants/ transmission
lines and loco! distribution systems, and,
returns on this investment constitute a
fixed, irreducible .obligation which fhe
company has justly pledged itself to pay.
Since there are no (so-called)
"profits” rn rendering utility service
when rotes are properly scheduled, aqd,
^ since revenues hove declined while costs,
of rendering service have not declined
In similar amounts, it is evident- that this
company's biggest problem is to render
the same doss of setvice while mointain-
. ing rates which were based on higher
revenues. —
■ Central Power ond light Company
has faced .these conditions squarely and
through continued attention to every
operating detail, has been oble to render
the some service, at the same rotes that
were established during a period of
higher revenues^. This is an accomplish-
ment'its customers must appreciate .
