Wonder House Of Electricity.

Along the boulevards and I'm tho

their keep scent for whatever Is new
and bizarre. are just now talking OF
the wonder house which NJ. Knap has
built for the Use OF himself and fami-

The villa stands In beautiful park.
painted with trees and shrubbery and
surrounded by n wall. Approaching
the arched entrance gate you press
an electric button, and at the very
start step ut once into n country full
OF wonders which are calculated TO
take the breath OF even the most har-
dehed of Partisan bonlevardiers. AL

Mr. Murphy has read Mr. Cochran
