SAND AND GRAVEL REVENUE
 ACT OF STATE IS VALID

Little Rock, April 2O-The Su- preme court of the United States by refusing a petition of the Union Sand and Gravel Co. for a writ of certiorari in a Desha county case has decided that the sand and gravel re- venue act of the ssate of Arkansas is valid. The state last year was given Judgment in the Desha circuit court for S&9,000, and last January the Judgment was affirmed by the Arkan- sas Supreme court The company then appealed to Chief Justice Me Culloch for an appeal to the United States supreme court on the ground that 'aderal questions were involved. Judge McCulloch refused to grant the appeal, whereupon the company filed with the supreme court of the United States petition for a writ of cer tlorari. The case was br:efed by As sistant Attorney General Campbell. and last Monday the petition was dis missed, on the ground that no federal question was involved.
 The last legislature passed an act reducing the charge made for sand or gravel taken from the beds of lakes and streams from five to two and half cents per cubic yard.

 DWIGHT BLAKE. DISCHARGED FROM FIRST REGIMENT

Little Rock, April 2O.-Dwight Blake, chief musician of the First Regiment, A. N. G., was discharged yesterday from the service, because he is married. The department has made and is enforcing a rule that no enlisted man or on-commissioned of ficer will be accepted who is married or has a dependent family. There is none of this class in the First Regi- ment now. The government has been paying such men the regulation amount, and their families SEQ a month, and decided that it is too ex- pensive. Mir Blake had been in the Guard five years, and is recognized as one of the most efficient musicians in the organization. Great regret is expressed that under the memorable rules of the department he is unable to continue in the service.

During that time it did not once fail 10 oper-
ate, and kept constant supply of twenty
gallons of water at an average temperature
of 10 degrees F.
In test of ten consecutive days. duration
an accurate record was kept Of the amount
of hot water drawn, Of its temperature and
Of the gas consumption. The results showed
that five hundred and eight gallons of water,
at an average temperature of 1916 degrees F.,
had been used at an average of about fifty
gallons per day. and the total gas consumption
was 404 cubic feet The five hundred and
eight gallons of water at 1916 degrees F.,
when mixed with cold tap water, made eight
hundred and fifty gallons at the usuable tenn
perature of 125 degrees F. The thermostat
was set TO shut off the gas when the temper
ature of the water at the outlet in the side of
the boiler was about 100 degrees F., and to
open the gas valve when it had cooled to 81
degrees F. Therefore the water in the tank
was always above the latter temperature BY
moving a dial hand on the thermostat the
temperature setting can easily be changed to
suit the housekeeper.
Should the family leave the house for a
week, and so hastily as to forget to turn off
the gas cock on the heater, there is no need
to worry over the prospect of big gas bill.
Our tests proved that with no water being
drawn, the water in the tank was maintained
at the desired temperature for three and one
half days on a gas consumption of one hun
dred and fifty cubic feet. This insures at
small expense an adequate and most conven.
lent supply Of hot water when the family re-
turns.

II Looks Like a Toy, but Is a Capable
Little Radiator

TIME painful lack Of pulchritude evnced
by the ordinary steam radiator is q
problem which taxes the ingenuity of
every housekeeper who has her ideals of home
decoration. But this dwarf member of the
family, while the spit and image" of its
growu-up relatives, is so little that it is as

1t is such businesslke, uncompromising
little piece of hardware, so evidently living in

steam radiator that sizzles and clanks with

lied, because it is heated by electricity, and so
is forever dumb.

II with disconcerting frequency whether
oDe lives in a flat and maintains undiplomauc
interchanges with the janitor on the subject
of water that is never hot enough for decent
hath. not to mention washing the dishes; or
whether in a country house one wresties Win
the hot water problem at first hand.
II has been proved that the tank gas water
heater is one Of the most economical methods
Of obtaining goodly supply Of hot water; that
IS. where gas must be employed as the heating
medium. But unless the heater is kept IN
oneration continuously during the day-at con-
siderable expenditure of fuel-the water may
run from a faucet at almost any time with
that sickening lukewarmness which is so mad
dening to the housewife who wants water not
enough to do some good.
For this reason gas heaters are used chiefly
in the summer time especially in country
places, where the winter supply Of hot water
is obtained from the boiler, which stands close
TO the coal range and is heated by that steady
and reliable fire.
But with the Jarvis "Flash Action" Their
mostat installed and connected TO the tank
heater, the housewife may be sure of goodly
supply of really hot water summer and winter,
and chat without undue expense for gas. This
thermostat is reliable and economical because
it works automatically.
IL is designed to maintain tank Of water
at any desired temperature by automatically
turning gas fame full on when heat is re-
ouired and shutting it completely off when the
water is hot enough. The proper control of a
4bnN H. .,ol,. l.
quickly opened wide to insure correct ignition.
With this controller a magnet is employed to
give a sufficiently quick opening and closing
movement of the gas valve.
The magnet, gas valve and auxiliary mechan-
ism are securely incosed in a case of cast brass,
so that no shock or disturbance can reach them.
In this way the automatic mechanism remains
undisturbed.
In ordinary service the heating of the water
by the gas burner causes a brass tube to eX
pand and move an iron armature in the con-
4 troller toward the poles Of magnet, When
the armature approaches close enough the
magnet pulls it quickly down, closing the gas
valve AS the water cools or hot water is
withdrawn the brass tube contracts, tending
by means Of a strong spring to pull the arma-
ture away from the magnet When the spring
pull is sufficient the armature is jerked away
from the magnet instantly, and fully opening
the valve in this way it is operated thermo-
statically.
This controller can be attached to any make
Of tank heater and boiler that may be already
installed in the home No extra gas service
is necessary. II will work equally well under
any water pressure, and provides an auto
matte hot water system with a small pilot
light constantly burning
To reduce the loss Of heat in the boiler by
radiation it is advisable 10 cover it with an
asbestos insulating covering.
In The Tribune Institute laboratory the
Jarvis "Flash Action" Thermostat was con-
nected 10 a Holyoke Gas Tank Water Heater,
forming the installation illustrated, and was
kept in service for a period of two months.
