The Advantages

If you and a thousand other house
owners were to agree to wire your
houses, paying cash as fast as work was
finished, you would expect very low
cost per house. And yet this is exactly
what is offered by us during this cam
paign. You can wire your house by
this plan at a cost never before equailed
and that may never be again. Having
wired your house, you have open to
your use all of the great benefits of
electricity. Time and labor saving ac-
cessories, luxurious portable and read
ing lamps, better lighting facilities, the
ideal light for the hot summer months
soon to come. What is perhaps of
greater importance through wiring, you
will have added to the deSirability of
your house, increased its rentability, in
creased its sale value File your order
now, work will be done as orders are
received.

British Steamer Sunk;
Members of Crew Either
Killed or Drowned

London. March ]. The British
steamship Thornaby is reported to
have been sunk all the members of
the crew having been killed or
drowned.
The Thornaby's gross tonnage was
1882. She was 258 feet long. The
Thornaby sailed on January 0 from
Sunderland, England, for Palermo,
Sicily.
Although the British censorship
prevents transmission of details con-
cerning the reported sinking of the
Thornaby, the reference to the mem
berS of the crew having probably been
killed or drowned, indicates that she
was sunk by mine or a torpedo.
The German and Austrian DEGREES
regarding the sinking of armed mer-
chantmen without warning went into
effect at midnight. The Thornaby is
the first vessel whose sinking has been
reported since the orders became
operative, but the London dispatch
does not indicate whether she was
armed or whether she was sunk be-
fore or after the opening of the
month.
