WATER POWER TO WORK SHOPS
Carrying Electrical Juice, from the
Producer TO Distant
Consumers.

Every day or two we read that another
distant mountain waterfall or the rapids Of
some powerful river has been harnessed to
whirling waterwhecs and electrical genera
tors and the power carried across the
hills and valleys several hundred miles
to the cities and towns, where it can be
used for light, heat and power II is
easy enough to understand just how falling
water will turn a waterwheel and how this
wheel be made to whirl an electric
dynamo, or generator. but how this power
is carried away to the city remains blank
and puzzling mystery to most Of us I'M
skilled in interpreting electrical lore.
There are two ways in which this electri-
cal horse power can be carried over the
hills to the cities. In the first place it
could literally be packed over the road in
a basket, just like so many eggs; and the
next, 1t can be sent along a certain metal
lie path with ease. economy and certainty.

70 PIT POWERFUL ENGINES
Pans for Race Between Big Benz and
Fiat Cars.
sABER AGAINST THE RAP1EB
wild Bob of HsphnEnrd Fame to Drive
Against FaciIe FeIIce Nasarro,
the Foxy Young
italian.

NEW YORK, June 3.-Arrangements are
under way to race the two most powerful
automobiles in the world at the Brook
lands track England, within the next
few months. Word from London is to
that effect. The lowering of Barney Old
fields two-mile, one-mile and kilometer
records on Daytona beach clinched the prop
osition. Wild Bob, as the new record
holder Is called, will be taken to England
by his manager, Z. A. Moross. Negota-
lions are under way to pit Burman's
Bitten Benz against the new Fiat under
construction at Turin, Italy. Felice Navarro
will probably handle the Fiat II the race
Is arranged.
1t Is said that Burman and Navarro will
meet in series Of match races at Brook
lands on Memorial day. The 50O-mile race
at indianapolis falls on the same day
Burman has not entered the latter con-
test, so he is free to compete In England.
Burmans entry was withheld, it is said
until a financial decision was made re-
garding Brooklands.
A meeting between Burman and Navarro
would be most sensational The distances
Of the events would have to be short--say,
a half, one and two miles. The engines
OF the Bitten and the new Fiat develop
such great heat that the cars cannot be
raced a two-mile- minute speed for any
thing but short distances. 1t would be a
meeting between products Of two European
factories reputed for turning out special
/ speed machines. The Benz works at Mann
helm, Germany, and the Turin factory Of
the Italian Fiat have turned out many
great racins machines Before the Bitten
was the Prince Henry Benz, and before
} the new Fiat was the car in which Navarro
rode to worlds speedway record at
Broollands two years ago. Later that
car was brought to this country and
christened the "Mephistopheles Fiat"
Lewis Strang drove It to a mile record
at the Atlanta speedway, but was criticized
for racking the engine.
Burman and Navarro are distinctly op-
posite types Of drivers. AS the name Wild
Bob would Indicate, Burman is a headlong
better-his way through driver on the order
OF George II. Robertson, now retired.
With all. he combines great skill with his
daring, and since the retirement of Smiling
George he has been called the best all
round pilot in this country.
a match between the men could be
likened to the meeting Of a saber and a
rapier Navarro is an italian. and his
driving is characteristic of his race. Slen-

New Years Resolutions.

Again the period of time is here
when everybody makes resolutions.
They wait until the first Of January
to turn over a new leaf" In many
cases it is just like keeping a diary;
at first every little thing interesting
and otherwise is carefully recorded
each day, then after space is left
blank. This cause occurs at more
frequent intervals until at last the
keeper decides that it takes too much
time, and thinks what's the use of
doing it anyway, the days will go on
just the same; why should one care
what they did five or six years ago
today; that it is better to live in the
present: it's too crowded as it is. So
the book is laid away and forgotten
with half or more of its pages still

time is wasted, but some time the old

short to be helpful to those most in-

things that need touch Of paint to
make them pretty, and the. woman or

One should learn to criticise work.
Many people delude themselves into
thinking their work is good and that
the faults will not be noticed. Never
was greater mistake made. People
who have not taken a brush into their
hands are often the best critics be-
cause they are observers, they are well
acquainted with Mother Nature in all
phases and moods. A landscape
should be true to her as possible. The
painter must not only know how to
get effects but must be able to see
them in nature, not from copies.
Many who saw the paintings of
queer, no doubt, and also all the
others in the class of impressionists.
Some artists in that class have gone
to the extremes, true, but just study
the lights and shades around you and
six months time will convince you
that you are only beginning to know
eye misses. In taking up painting
by oneself it is better to work with
water colors for many reasons, and
one of the most important reasons is,
that it is economical. Good oil work
is only the result OF hard, intelligent
work. The material one uses is not
cheap. If the picture is not good, the
wall would better be left bare, than
have the picture hung upon 1t. Then
for ordinary homes water colors are
considered more appropriate for The
living room. The oils should be in
the dining room. Water colors are
not expensive and one can do their
work-practice work-and not feel
worried about the cost. II you paint
from nature you have the only guide.
When you use copy beware of loud,
gaudy effects. Nature in her bright
est robes never shocks the sensitive
eye. The next article will speak of
materials necessary to begin work.

to do that will make them take a
broader view of life and bring happi
ness into the lives and hearts of those
with whom they come in contact, and
without very much trouble OR exer-
tion, unless one is more beast than
human. 1t will help one to have
success in life. Richard LeGalliene
defines it this way: ''Success in life
consists in getting out of yourself all
the good there is in you, and out OF
life all the good there is in it for
you" To get out of life all the good
there is in it for you means you must
first get out of yourself all the good
there is in you. To this end you must
resolve to be unseltisb, you need not
give up necessary the things you
most desire, but rather the many little
things you can do for others, without,
as the children say, half trying. Its

time to think, the rest comes easy;
to be sympathetic, not alone when
people are ill or in trouble. but lend
an ear to the recital of their hopes,
ambitions, and little worries Of daily

heart. Rejoice in the good luck OF

should you take pleasure IN repeat
ing something to your neighbor that
will hurt or anger him, and under the
guise of friendship, too. Surely there
are beautiful and interesting things

way to restore color to wash material is

is also successful i'll restoring the color
