London, June 16.-Lord Northcliffe,

"My Dear Alcock: A very hearty

Republican leaders were not i'm

against wartime prohibition here, and
said congress would not repeal the
law or exempt wine and beer. The
house committee has received distin-
guished legal advice that the president
possesses ample power to proclaim the
act non-effective and the vets are con-
fident he will do so. No prohibition

Figuring on Your Light Bills.

When you pay your electric light
bill do you ever wonder what you are
paying for? The bill says you used
so many "kilowatt hours" for each of
which you are charged certain sum.
But what are they and when did you
use them?
A kilowatt is the unit scientists use
for power. It is 1000 watts, and it
takes TAG watts to equal one horse
power, so one kilowat is the same as
about one and one-third horsepower
working for one hour. Electric cur
rent could be sold by the horsepower
just as easily, but the kilowatt hour
seems to be the choice of electricians.
It is simple matter to figure how
much it costs to "burn" any electric
light for certain length of time.
Each electric light bulb is marked,
showing how many watts it consumes.
If the lamp is marked, say, 40 watt,
it will use 1-25 of kilowatt. In other
words, Is of these lamps will burn for
an hour to consume one kilowatt hour,
or one will burn Is hours to consume
the same amount of current. IF the
price Of the current is 5 cents per
kilowatt hour, a 40 watt lamp will
burn rs hours for cents, or at the
rate of is of a. cent per hour.
The cost to burn any electric light
can be determined by dividing the wat
tage of the lamp by 1000 and multi
plying the quotient by the price of the
current per kilowatt hour.
Much Of the electricity used in the
household goes to heating irons and
for cooking. Many Of these appliances
are marked, showing the number of
watts they consume, but sorae show
the amount of amperes only. In this
case the wattage can be found by
multiplying the amperage by the vol
tage. If an electric iron used on 10
volt circuit consumes 5.3 amperes, that
will be the same as 583 watts, and at 5
cents kilowatt hour the iron can be
turned on for one hour for little less
than three cents.
No matter how the current is used
for each ,kilowatt~ hour the consumer
receives he gets an amount of heat
or energy equivalent to that produced
by the burning of about three pounds
of coal.

Another Scoundrel Convicted.

Charles F. Wyant, convicted of ac-
cepting deposit in the Hamel State
bank when he knew it to be insolvent,
has been sentenced by Judge Molly
neaux to term not to exceed 10 years
in the penitentiary. The case will
probably be appealed.
Wyant is the rascal who worked
hand in glove with Schafer to rob the
farmers by wrecking a chain of ii
banks. His sentence is not nearly Sc

say, with pair of oldtimers like this,
there was no kicking on the umpires.
Jack Glass came up from Minneap-
oils to pitch for Princeton and did his
work in good shape. The big fellow
only allowed two hits and struck out
seven Of the Saints. He also kicked
in with corking single in the big
blowup in the eighth. He brought
along his catcher this time, Moose
Anderson This hardy Norsk made a
hit with the fans with his battery
work and also won a warm spot in
their hearts when he punched out his
screaming two-bagger with the bases
full and two runs needed to win.
Come again, Moose! You look good
to us!
Captain Bob set swift pace for
his infelders and proved to be the
premier performer in the close up
work himself. He felded' his position
perfectly, pulled off a one-handed cir
Gus catch, and went to the mat with
one of the St. Cloud huskics when the
latter tried to purloin second. Bob,
the runner and the ball, all came to-
gether at once and went down in a
heap just few feet from the base.
Bob came out of the mixup with grin
and the ball gripped tightly in one
hand. If he fumbled the ball the UNI
pire never saw it, and the runner was
declared out.
Princeton pulled off one fast double
play. With runner at second the
batter smashed hot line drive down
the first base line and the runner beat
it to third. Smith went into the air,
came down with the ball and doubled
the runner off second. 1t was fast
work and helped win the game.
Next Thursday at the fair grounds
the Princetonians will clash with the
Greenbush team at the farmers picnic.

TIGHT SKIRT TO BE

Membership is open only to girls

Miss Lucille Helmuth, originator of
the club, explained:
Modern fashions are not proper

wear more conservative clothes. AS
the styles of Lady Duff-Gordon are
