Dr, E.

Roth, speaking at the Hungry Club combination of least ing and melody in the Abraham Lincoln Hotel yesterday to note National Music Week. The Rotary Club sent its male chorus, 26 men, to the Hungry clubbers to sing. George D. Haage led the singers in a number of nonclassical tunes, some that the Hungry clubmen as well as their guests could sing. Then there Teas Dr.

Roth's general talk on "Music and Medicine." Barber shop had the call when the Rotary singers got into action. First they got off all the verses in "Sweet Adeline," with the accent on the "Ah Do Line," and "Let Me Call You Sweetheart" shook down some of the ball room plaster. "Love Me, and the World Is Mine" completed the barber shop melodies. Both groups tried their voices on the next songs, "The Long, Long Trail," "Keep the Home Fires Burning" and "Bells of St. Mary's," sung and resung so often that the chairman had to resort, to a different kind of bell, the table gong.

Psychology in Music "There's real psychology in music," Dr. Roth said. "It's as good as medicine in many cases, a fact more generally recognized every year. It's a great thing for folks who aren't exactly sick, but may be just a bit melancholy and need cheer instead of chemicals. "Hippocrates may have been the first doctor, but Appollo with his lyre was in practice as a healer long before Hippocrates.

Apollo cured a lot of sick folks with his music, and when Hippocrates came along, he didn't depend only on drugs. He used music as well, recognizing Apollo's skill as a healer." John P. Costello, president, introduced Dr. Roth. Guests included Elmer Muhs, retiring president of Rotary, and the latter's incoming president, Arthur Benham.

Next week the Hungry Club's speaker will be Charles T. Davies, of Wyomissing, a hosiery manufacturer, who will tell "What Life Insurance Means to Me." Davies is reported to be the most heavily insured man in this district, with a million dollar life policy in force, William A. Clouser will bo chairman.

Phone 3 1829 BYE EXAMINATION (Continued frm Page One) their municipal ownership plans entirely on financing through government aid.

They wilK neglect no opportunity to obtain a PWA or WPA allotment, if the survey re suits in a report favorable to a municipal plant, they said, but there would be no difficulty in financing privately the construction of a plant and distribution system, Mayor Stump said. "The city's financial position and credit are so satisfactory," the mayor said, "that it! can go ahead with the project if the survey en gineers demonstrate that the plan is feasible." Cites Illinois City Commenting on municipally owned electric and water systems in other cities, Mayor Stump declared that in Springfield, 111., where city owned electricity and water plants net the municipality more than $1,700,000 yearly, $300,000 more than the entire tax bill of the city, he said. "There are nearly 10,000 municipally owned electric plants in the United States," Mayor Stump declared, "so there plainly is nothing strange or experimental in the proposal. It has been such a success in so many places that there is no reason why Reading could not establish its own plant and operate it with rates that would save a great deal of money to every consumer." Mayor Stump's telephone and the telephones of other members of city council, all of whom are supporting the plan, were buzzing yesterday with messages congratulating them on their decision to make a survey, city officials said. Get Many Calls "One man told me," Mayor Stump said, "that this is the biggest thing before the city government in years.

A great many business men, as well as domestic consumers, called to urge me and the other members of council to go ahead." "In the municipal plants already in operation throughout the country," the mayor said, "the margin between rates charged consumers and rates collected by private companies is even larger than the marked contrast between private wateif: companies rates and what "Is Charged consumers for water from municipally owned plants. "The average cost of electric service to domestic consumers in 282 communities in Ontario, under municipal ownership, is about two cents per kilowatt hour. In the United States, under private ownership, the average cost per kilowatt hour is 7.4 cents, or more than three times as much. "In Tacoma, the city owned electric plant serves much current to homes at one cent per kilowatt hour. Power rates are as low as half of one cent, and yet, with these low rates, the city of Tacoma has made a profit of nearly $1,000,000 in a single year.

In Ta coma, the low rate pays all governmental costs and clears $556,000 annually. "The charge there for the first 20 to 40 kilowatt hours is 44 cents and for the next 500 kilowatts, one cent per kilowatt hour. Winnipeg, Canada, has a rate of about one cent. Compares Rates Rates charged by municipally owned electric plants as compared with those, per kilowatt hour, charged by private plants before municipal plants began to operate were cited by the mayor as follows: City Before After Cleveland 15c 3c Seattle 20c 5c London, Ontario 9c lc Springfield, 111. 20c 3c Ottawa, Ontario 7c lc: Toronto 8c 1.7c Jamestown, N.

Y. 10c 5c "The government owned Muscle Shoals plant has been producing current at one and one third mills, not cents, per kilowatt hour," Stump Mid. "This cost covered everything, including operating expenses, inter est on investment, and sinking fund requirements. The government sold the current to the Alabama Power Company at two mills, not cents, per kilowatt hour, and the company then sold it to domestic consumers, in some cases, for as much as 16 cents per kilowatt hour. "In Pennsylvania, a farmer pays $28 for current he can get for $8 in the Tennessee government generating region." City officials have as yet made no unquiry into the possibility of gen erating current from water stored in dams along the Schuylkill river, as a result of the present federal flood control survey of the river and its proposed clearing of culm from the channel.

Recall River Survey As long as a year ago, however, federal engineers were studying the possibility of reconstructing the huge dam at Port Clinton, above Hamburg, as a means of storing water in flood seasons and' holding back abnormal volumes of water there temporarily to prevent high water in Reading and intervening towns. That such dams, fitted with waterways and turbines, could be used for development of electric current was suggested by Fred H. Dechant, Reading engnieer, and other professional men studying the river and flood prevention methods, to the Reading Chamber of Commerce. County commissioners of Berks If the Hindenburg had waited a little longer before Thursday night's airship disaster at Lakehurst, N. might have been avoided, Federal Weather Observer Henry E.

Hathaway said yesterday. itejecting tneones that electrical "hangovers" from the aurora bore alis disturbance Wednesday night might have had some effect on the big craft, Hathaway said an airship collects static electricity in its pas sage, just as a truck or automobile. Reason Tracks Dangle Chains "You've seen a heavy truck with a chain dangling from the rear, touching the paving and relieving the truck of its excess static cur rent?" he said. "Well, it looks to me as if the Hindenburg captain these airship commanders know all about this excess current that must be got rid figured that after cruising around over Lakehurst for a long time, this excess had been safely discharged and that the ves sel could descend and be moored. As soon as a metal cable touched the non insulated mast, however, there came an explosion." Static is so heavy is some regions that passenger cars, as well as high powered trucks, carry trailer chains or wires continuously contacting the paving, Hathaway said.

In the west, most cars are thus equipped. Eyewitness Back in Reading Meanwhile, Walter H. Heldtmann, Mt. Penn salesman who was at Lakehurst Thursday night and saw the Hindenburg come to its catas trophic end, was back in Reading yesterday with a first hand story of what happened. Heidtmann agreed with Hathaway that the static electricity theory as to the cause of the explosion which wrecked the big dirigible seemed the most feasible.

Heidtmann and his wife went to Lakehurst to bid bon voyage to a friend who was to have sailed on the dirigible on the eastward trip. To get out of a drizzle of rain, he and his wife went into a waiting room and from there watched the ship dock, he said. "I looked out," he declared. "The tail of the big ship was on fire. We could bear the crackling flames.

We heard what we thought was another explosion. The tail started to drop and the nose went up. I looked around me. I saw women faint. Men were shorting and running." Although his wife was nervous, they started running toward the ship, Heidtmann said, then turned back.

At first, the Mt. Penn man said, no one on the field seemed to know what to do, then there was feverish activity. "I saw one man, evidently a pas senger, being escorted away with the back of his body smouldering," he said. "His hair had been burned away, and his face was almost white, like the color of your finger when you burn it with a match." Saw None Jump Heidtmann did not see anyone jump from the ship. "I turned my head," he said.

"It was too horrible to look at." One observer, Heidtmann said, declared that he saw one of tyie'rear motors of the dirigible smoldering Just before the blast. Heidtmann and his wife went to Germany on the Hindenburg last September, when they had such smooth sailing that "you felt as if you were in your own living room." John L. McCormlck, Reading insurance man who planned to sail to Europe on the Hindenburg, will leave New York today on the Italian liner Rex. two years ago had before them sug gestions by Charles B. Ebling, then a member of the board, that the river and its dams be used as a means of generating cheap power for county use as well as for Reading and other municipalities.

These proposals will be studied by city officials, it was said yesterday, in connection with the proposed survey. Mayor Stump cited Kutztown, whose electric plant is highly profit' able to the public; Berks towns owning their water plants, and Mid dletown. Dauphin County, where a municipally owned system, buying cheap current but distributing it with town owned facilities, has made the town tax free since 1932, as examples of municipal ownership close to home. In addition, Stump said, Middle town has $200,000 surplus in its treasury. Owning their public utilities, 90 towns in the United States are tax free because of the income of municipal plants, the mayor said.

Public Ownership 'Speaking' "The municipal ownership idea is spreading rapidly," the mayor said. "In 1935, of 132 municipalities voting on the issue, 112 cities, or 80 percent, approved the plan, and in 1936 80 other municipalities voted for public ownership of utilities." Four utilities in Chicago, Mayor Stump said, earned $52,000,000 net in one year. They were the electric, gas, telephone and street railway companies. The profit is equivalent, he said, to the municipal THE HINDENBURG DISASTER COMPLETE IN SUNDAY NEW i The dormitory scene from "Pardon My Glove," a musical comedy to be presented by the Penn State College Thespians at the Orpheom Theatre, Thursday, for the benefit of the Student Loan Fund. The scenic setting was designed by George O.

Downes, of Reading, a senior at the college. YOUTH HOSTEL WORK EXPANDS Shelters for Student Hikers in Berks to Get Additions To enlarge the list of youth hostels in this county and nearby districts, the Philadelphia Horseshoe Trail Association and American Youth Hostels, the latter a chartered organization, yesterday began a survey of the needs and possibilities of expansion of the movement here. Miss Anne Ooddard, field worker for the latter named organization, told Thomas W. Lantz, head of the city recreation department, that more hostels, each with a married couple in charge as caretakers and advisors, will likely be established in this section. Miss Goddard came here from Northfleld, Amer ican Youth Hostels headquarters, to inspect some of the Berks places already in service.

The Horseshoe Trail Association, in charge of the movement in this section, and headed by Henry W. Woolman, Philadelphia, has already placed six hostels or stations in op eration on the trail, at Valley Forge, Pughtown, below Pottetown; Geiger town, Plowville, Alleghenyvllle and Denver, Lancaster county. Another is at Manada Gap, Dauphin county. Shelters for Hikers The hostels are supervised she! ten, usually old farmhouses or other roomy dwellings, where hikers and rambling nature study devotees may spend their nights in mild weather rambles over the country. Each shelter has accommodations for cooking and for those who travel without their own provisions, canned and other foods can be obtained from caretakers.

Miss Goddard recently made a journey down the Connecticut river from Putney, to Northfleld, in a folding rubber canoe, a new type of portable boat with a couple of small wheels. In service, it is propelled with a double paddle, carries one or two people, according to size, and is non slnkable. Folded for ship ment on a train or in an automo bile, it can be pushed along on its wheels, or hauled at the back of a bicycle or motorcyle. The fabric is tough rubber, on a demountable frame the size of the usual canoe. Closed about the waist of the pad dler like an Eskimo kayak, the canoe is steadier and safer than an open canvas boat.

Lantz is planning to introduce some of them in river sports here. HOME AGAIN AFTER STAY IN HOSPITAL MOHN'S HILL, May 7 Mrs. James Brown returned home after having been a patient In Reading Hospital.
