Former Breeding Place o.
Crime is Now a Busy Man
ufacturing Quarter.

That section of New York City ly-
ing between the upper twenties and
| the sixties on the old west side has
been a fertile field for fictionists.
Their pens and imaginations made
the. district more or less notorious al
"Hell's Kitchen"
1t is7no longer a vast crime pro-
ducing area" Instead it is one OF
the busiest manufacturing quarters
on Manhattan island, Electricity
has stepped in and eased the burdens
of the district. j Big, modern, cleo
trtcally operate warehouses and 9TH
er industries have taken the place
OF the badly housed factories OF other
days.
When the, steamships came north
of Twenty-third street the district re-
ceived its electrical impetus. Then
came the great railroad storehouses
which accommodate the goods from
twelve trains OF fifty box cars each.
Manufacturers and business men
soon converted the section into a
thriving hive of activity.
One Of the districts institutions
Is wholesale grocery depot at For
ty-second street and Eleventh ave-
nue.. The building contains the most
complete electrically operated coffee
mill in the country. 1t also contains
a large spice mill with electrically
driven pulyerizers, grinders, sifters
and crackers. -
In a mail order building on Tenth
avenue an eltcric train travels
through the stock room, where IL
takes on all the articles making up
each order. There are four motor
trains, each OF which draws sec
ton of sixty cars.
The ten story warehouse of car
pet and rug firm is the last word in
electrical equipment. More than for
ty electric motors are used in the
pressing. sewing and handling of rugs
and carpets. The largest of the mo-
tors stitches a seam seyenty-five feet
long. Sessy
Characteristic of lighter manufac-
turing institutions run by electricity
Is n button factory which uses motor
polishers, drill pressers, punchers and
new heating units. Next door car
bon brush company and a paper COM
pany operate their machinery wholly
Iiby electricity.
Thus has electricity redeemed this
un1ustly criticised section Of New
York.

develop. Much OF Idaho's progress in
land development is due, he said, to
tho broad administration Of the states
resources by former Conservation
Commissioner Major Fred R. Reed.
Why Idaho is "Electric State"
Although electric energy is being
used by vast numbers Of farmers in
Idaho today. we need more Of it." he
said. 81 know. Of farmers living forty
miles from the railroad who are using
as many electrically driven machines
as the farmers whose land lies close
to the big towns. There are thousands
OF struggling farmers who are unable
to hire help and who are only too
ready to adopt electric service and ap-
pliances in working their land. I see
the time not far away when our farm
crs will obtain electric energy as
cheaply as they obtain water today"
I'm Rupert, Burloy, Hayburn Twin
Falls and other sagebrush towns Of
Idaho" the governor continued, more
than fifty per cent of all the houses
are not only wired for lighting, but are
actually heated by electricity. And
these towns are not more than eight
years old. This is an illustration of
why Idaho is an electric state"
Governor Alexander is not poll
tician. He is merchant and says he
uses electric energy in MS business
wherever possible. He was born in
Missouri sixty years ago and lives up
to the SHOW me" slogan. When
asked what he thought of New York
he said:
II have been coming to New York
for thirty-five years. and ] never tire
OF 1t. 1t is wonderful city, and every
American should be proud of it."

ated by Electric Power
Seenin Many Towns.

Transportation companies Ia the
West are building light weight stree,
cars of s 200 to 1900 pounds, com,
pletely. equipped for one man oper-
alton. Traction experts say that cars
of this weight. with seating capacity
Of from twenty-four to thirty pas.
'sengers, will afford faster schedules
with fewer stops than even jitneya
make and will unquestio nably be
more attractive to the public. The
cars are equipped with the iightest
weight motor for railway service
ever placed on the market.
1t Is said that these cars viii meet
the requirements OF most operating
companies during light load periods
and practically all needs in cities OF
100000 population or less. Experts
have pointed out numerous econo-
mics which can be secured by the
operation of light cars.
The Westinghouse company has
announced a rugged wee motor OF
600 pounds designed to operate theSe
light weight cars. The motor has i
rating of 1875 horsepower at 600
volts. 1t includes the successful fea.
lures. of larger size motors.
The larger number OF cars that
can be obtained for the amount OF
money necessary for the purchase Of
heavy cars permits more frequent
service for given investment. In
many towns OF Texas and New Mex

No Need Being Old or
Wrinkled Before rs

Lillian Russell says any woman
who has wrinkles before she's Is is
herself responsible for them. Sunshine
and fresh air she considers more valu-
able as complexion preservers than
nostrums and cosmetics.
The chief objection to cosmetics IS
that at best they only temporarily
cover up defects. There are certain
true aids to Nature, which may be
applied with directly opposite effect
Ordinary mercolized wax, for instance
actually removes a bad or oldish
complexion, by gradually, almost i'm
rerceptibly. peeling off the WORKOUT
scarf skin. Just one ounce, procur-
able at any drugstore, will soon un-
veil an entirely new and natural com
plexion, with an exquisite girlish
color. OF course cutaneous blemishes,
like pimplss, freckles, blotches, moth
patches, liver spots, disappear with
the discarded skin.
To prevent or remove wrinkles, q
face bath, which also produces nat
ural results, is made by dissolving an
ounce of powdered saxolite in half
pint witch hazel. This is Immediately
effective and gives no untoward after
effect.

The Easiest Way
To End Dandruff

There is one sure way that never fails
Is remove dandruff completely and that
is to dissolve it. This destroys it en-
tirely. To do this, just get about four
ounces Of plain, ordinary liquid arvon;
apply it at night when retiring; use
enough 10 moisten the scalp and rub it
in gently with the finger tips.
By morning most, if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy, every single
sign and trace of it, no matter how much
dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching and
t.:gging of the scalp will stop instantly,
and your hair will. be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel
a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. 1t is inexpensive, and four
ounces is all you will need. This simple
remedy has never been known to fail.
