HUGE GENERATOR FOR P.b. COMPANY
 NOW AT PLANT
Machine Which Will Dou- ble Capacity of Power
 house Being Installed.

The big turbog generator, which will more than double the capacity of the Pine Bluff comuany's plant, arrived here yesterday, was unloaded from the steel freight car onto skids and will be placed in position as soon as pos sible The foundation has already been erected under the direction of w. M. Crook, chief engineer of the Ar kansas Lioht and Power lompany.
 The 7S-ton machine was brought here from Lynn, Mass, in just eleven days-one day less than another piece of machinery for the plant came by express recentlv. The rapid transportation was due to J. J. Kress, who travelled with the generator, and kept it moving in the right direction Only once did he lose it. That was at Detroit. MT. Kress left the car to 20 to a restaurant. During his ab sence, the generator was hooked to a train bound fer Canada. He caught the generator at Winsdor, headed it south cnce more, and kept it coming He lost eight hours by that little twist of fate. aided by railroad men.
 The machine, which cost about $l00,- 900, with it's equipment, has capaci-
 tvof 2500 kilowatts. equivalent to 3600 horsepower. This is 25O kilo-
 watts more than the combined cap acity now at the plant.
 The huge transformers for the high power line to Stuttgart also arrived, and will be placed in position as soon as possible. These transformers in crease e',e voltage from 220 volts to 33,000, and reduce it again where it is to be used, The purpose of in creasing the voltage is to economiZe in copper as well as to provide for loss in transmission. Larger wire is required to transmit 2200 volts than 33,O0O volts, the principle being the same as applies to piping water: the greater the pressure the smaller the pipe required to handle a certain vol Omp.

 Above Bills upturned feet and about yard away stood an x ray ap- paratus. Its flesh piercing light fell on a disk of metal that an orderly held over Bills barred waist.

The best Is none too good for the wounded American soldier. That is the Red Cross idea. The minute sci- ence finds an improvement in surgery it is adopted in the Red Cross army hospitals, which are models of up-to- the-instant completeness.

In addition to serving our enlisted forces, it is assisting in the work of civil relief among our allies whose soil is being devastated by the fighting.
 Thus the Red Cross is helping to interpret the constructive spirit of our Republic which holds sacred human life and the ideals it seeks
 As time goes on the scope of the work of the Red Cross in Europe will increase in order that the organization may meet the demands that will be made upon it. It must receive the full and hearty support of the American people. It is only through such. an agency that we can be assured relief and our military force.
 E 1t is my sincere desire that adequate funds. will be secured for the work of the Red Cross.
