ElectriGcation Plans at
Baltimore Now Certainty

Baltimore. Md, Feb. 16.-Plans for
electrifying the Pennsylvania railroad
between Philadelphia and Washington
and to this city over a special line, are
near completion. Directors of the
PENNSYLVANIA railroad discussed this
proposed improvement at length at a
meeting on Wednesday. 1t is prac-
ucally certain that the lines through
the tunnel and in the Jones Falls VAL
lay in this city will be electrified.
Rights of way have already been Sc
cured in this city.
1t is proposed to make a contract
with the Pennsylvania Power Com
pany for electric current when the
new plans shall have been worked out
and installed The power company is
now preparing to furnish 10000 addi-
tIonal units by dredging and otherwise
enlarging its reesrvoir on the Susque-
mamma. The great demands upon this
company for electric current, with
constantly increasing uses of electric
ity, have revived the talk of construct
ing dam across the SusGuehanna
river at Conowingo, for which legisla-
tive rights have already been obtained.

privilege there was no indication to-
day that their owners would follow
the example of the Dutch and Scan
dinavian lines and send their vessels
to sea. The stagnation OF American
shipping, however. is complete only
so far as the big passenger liners are
concerned. Several freighters that fly
the stars and stripes are making
preparations TO follow the few AM
erican cargo boats that already have
braved the submarine danger.
Agents of the big British steam
ship lines declared to-day that there
was no need of any congestion of
ocean cargoes at American ports
one of them pointed out that Great
Britain has about forty steamships
now at New York, ready to leave
when loaded and representing a cargo
capacty of 10000 tons. The same
authority asserted that there were in
port here to-day about $50 steam
ships of British and French, Scandi-
navian, Dutch. Spanish, Italian and
AMERICAN registry and estimated their
carrying capacity at 10000 tons
This includes vessels engaged in coast
wise trade.

Governor Expected to
Act Soon on Sproul Probe

1t is not regarded as likely that
Governor Brumbaugh will delay acting
on the resolution for the probe of gov
ernment in Pennsylvania very long
after it reaches him. 1t is expected
that it will be placed on his desk on
Tuesday morning. The impression
prevails that the Legislature may get
official information on the subject be-
fore it adtourns for the week. The
Governor to-day declined to discuss
his course of action.
The State Insurance Fund Board
will probably make its reply to the
legislative inquiry why it reinsured the
catastrophe hazard of the State Fund
in the British Lloyds when the law
makers reassemble on Monday even
ing. The members have been drafting
a report and have refused to make
any statement until they send it to the
Legislature.

The exact origin of the fire is
not known, but it was started
in the carpenter shop on the
south end of the main building.
Mr.. Verbose, the night watch
man and fireman of the plant,
happened to go to the well just
opposite the building to get a
drink of water and Immediately
saw the reflection of the fire,
which had already got an aw-
full Roadway. He rushed for the
whistle, which in an instant had
the entire city aroused with
curiosity. AS soon as the fire
boys from town could get on
the ground the plant fire hose
were unreeled and Immediately
put in action. The hose was a
trife rotten, which gave the
boys a lot of discomfort and did
not give them a chance to work
as they could have otherwise.
The bucket brigade was also
very busy, during which time
the fire engine was being broug IT
from the city hall. The fire
was under control by the time
that the engine arrived, but new
ertheless it poured water into
that burning mass at such a rate
that it was soon a thing of the
past. What Cheer can we'll be

WHAT A BOND WILL Do.

The Liberty Loan committee
announces that the money paid
for fifty dollar bond will equip
one soldier for the front; buy
sixteen shelter tents, accommo-
dating thirty-two men; buy
eight pairs Of army blankets;
one thousand rounds Of ammu-
milton, or three standard rifles.
The sum of $500 will keep
soldier at the front for a year.
These statements are unusually
interesting because now the man
who loans his money to the
government can visualize the
service which he renders:
But the liberty bond is des-
tined to serve a cause much
more important than the rails
ing of money for the war per-
iod. Investments in bonds OF
this country have for too long
been the rich mans privilege.
AS a result the wealthy were
able to invest their money in
perfect securities and at the
same time escape taxation, while
the man with a small amount OF
money could either put it in the
bank or invest it in an uncer-
tain stock company. The aver
age people of this country pos
sess more money, that is actual
cash, collectively than the some
what restricted group of mil
lionaires. The liberty loan is
1.-THE first step towards the de
mocratization of wealth" The,
idea of unselfish service for the
cause of democracy was born
in this country and it's appeal
will be answered by response
from millions of homes. Ger
tainly if the young men who
registered Tuesday are willing
/ to lay down their lives in order
that we may live in world
made safe for democracy" and
free from the terrors OF war,
then those who cannot go across
the sea ought to be willing to
loan their dollars to the govern
ment so that our soldiers may
carry on their work effectively.

Our Day Burner solves the
problem. No more trouble than
natural gas; no fuel to carry in
or ashes to carry out. Perfectly
safe and will heat the largest
steel range to a baking heat
quicker than you can with any
other fuel; no SCOT or smell. In
fact our burner is perfect in
every way.
It is easily placed in the fire
box of any stove; oil tank hangs
on the wall and I. very small
flexible copper pipe connects the
two.
The burner generates coal oil
or kerosene into gas and you
have a perfectly safe fire at
very small expense.

explain all.

ABSOLUTELY SAFE

Safer to use than any kero-
sene lamp for the oil supply is
several feet from the flame and
the oil is fed into the burner
drop by drop instantly changing
into gas, and is blown out Of
burner holes, and the next drop
then follows. It is impossible
for any flame to get inside of
the burner pipes and thus COM
municate with oil tank. 1t is
impossible for burner to explode
for burner holes are always OPP
en-. Oil supply can be shut off
completely in one second by
means of a valve.
Burner is very simply made
on scientific principles, being
built of fine iron and steeL 1t

BAKES PERFECTLY

For baking, our burner is
much better and superior in
every way for an even heat can
be had, either very hot or med
ium.
Meals can be cooked much
quicker than with the use of
coal or wood.
In summer quick hot fires
can be had at meal time and
then turned out. With coal one
must have hot stove several
hours or until coal in fire box
is consumed. In winter plenty
of heat can be had.
Our Day Burner meets with
all these features, making it the
most perfect and simplest de-
vice in the world for burning
kerosene oil and producing all
the units of heat.

RELIABILITY

Our burner is 50 constructed
that it will last the life Of the

are used, making an installa-
