to demand them because they represent
the highest standard both morally and

My desire Is TO give them start toward

world They know too little now OF those
they see upon the screen, and far more
too little about those producing cumpa-
nlcs that are striving ever for higher
standard In plays and players, artistry and
cleanliness Of motive and action. I want
to make them begin to think about the
motion picture; To realize that all they
need to do TO see the best produced is TO
demand IT,"
Consequently Miss Taplcy has been given

Step by step during the past thir
ty years electricity has come to be
the standard in Illumination" says
C E. Wagner, state agent for Delco
farm lighting equipment. "A little
over thirty years ago electricity was
adopted as q means of lighting
streets and stores. Later it was ap-
piled to the home, the theater, the
church and finally to railway coaches
and steamships, and now comes its
use in suburban and rural districts
to supersede the kerosene lamp and
other means Of lighting.
Much experimental work has
been done during the last ten years
with a view to the perfection of
small power plant that would pro-
vide the numerous electrical convent
ences to farm and suburban homes
which are removed from power or
Transmission lines. After five years
the Domestic Engineering company
Of Dayton, O., has perfected the Del
60 light, power plant which is dem
onstrating itself to be very salts
factory.
"The De1co light consists of sim
