GIGANTIC ELECTRIC SWITCH

A Chicago electric switch concern has recently designed and constructed several 110, ,0OO volt switching and pro- tective equipments. These equipments consist of a disconnecting switch and fuse upon common base.
 A particular feature of this equip ment is the arrangement of the insu lating parts. They are made up of two 10000 volt universal pin insulators stacked one upon top of the other. They are held together by set of rugged clamps. To the bottom clamp of each insulator a malleable iron pin is fastened, which is cemented into the pin hole. This type of construction makes an exceedingly strong unit and is far less expensive than a pillar type insulator for the same voltage.
 The switch parts proper were made with the double blade type of con struction, spring washers being em- ployed to secure proper contracting. The switch was rated at 300 ampereS. This unit when in use is mounted in the same position as shown in the cut, that is, with the blade vertical It measures approximately 12 feet from lower end to top of lock-ring.

The water to be heated enters the first duct from the house piping Cor rubber hose, as desired) to the cylinder in the heater, and passes pro- excessively through the different ducts, from the last of which it is led to the discharge faucet of the heater. All these ducts are provided with non corrosive metal coils. These coils are connected in series with each other and the terminals of this group Of heating clements are connected by means of a snap switch to the source of the current supply; thus when the water flows through the porcelain ducts, it passes directly over the heat ing elements, from which the water is progressively heated.

ELECTRIC MILK WARMER

An electric milk warmer, which should prove a boon to all mothers. consists of a water vessel. a standard eight ounce Hygeia milk bottle with nipple, a removable immersion type heater, and a detachable connector cord. The complete outfit is well made and neatly finished. The i'm mersion heater connects with a plug and is connected to any lamp or base outlet. It will warm the eight ounces of milk in a few minutes. The con- tainer and heating element being separable makes it possible to quickly and thoroughly sterilize this appara- tus. The electric milk warmer proves one of the greatest convenienceS ever provided, especially for cold winter nights, when it is sometimes very in convenient to heat the milk by other means.

MUSICIANS CHALLENGED
ON COMMUNITY CHORUS

| Remarka BILE for its earnestncss, elo-
onence aud clear statement of the sit
uation is the plea made by Kenneth
s. Clark in the columns Of Musical
America to the musicians of this coun-
try for a better understanding Of tho
underlying purpose and the ultimate
possibilities of the community chorus.
Mr.. Clark. who is now attached to the
community service, Incorporated, il
one of the countrys most noted song
directors. whose splendid work with
the soldiers in the camps has been fol-
lowed by equally important and sue
cessfui work with civilians.
The primary purpose of community
music, Mr.. Clark asserts. is a social
one. for it is through Joining in song
In this way that people are stimulated
to unite in service for better COM
munfty and for better citizenship. Only
secondarily is the aim of the commu-
nifty chorus a musical or cultural one.
although its development along these
lines promises great things for the
future.
In explaining to the musical coterie
the type of song used by the chorus
leader. Mr. Clark shows that the first
contact in community music must be
made through the popular song---al-
though, of course. the better class pop
pose. 1t is very evident, he points out.
that in organizing the factory or de-
partment store for community music
purposes the song leader must begin
with lyrics and ballads that have
rlace in the daily lives of the people
and not with q Bach ChoraIe or four
part song, II he is to have feasible
basis for any singing at all. Gradu-
ally and tactfully the way can then
be prepared for the inevitable demand
for better and higher grade music.
Mr.. Clark deplores the fact that
many musicians have looked upon the
mass singing movement somewhat
askance, II not with open hostility.
This, he believes, is particularly to be
regretted, because, as the movement
develops and it's artistic possibilities
widen the need for the sympathy and
active participation OF the trained mu-
stefan grows in proportion. Very
often, Mr. Clark points out, the intro
duction of a chorus leads to the desire
for a community orchestra an en-
ployes' band or festival singing
group. The chorus organizer Is some
times equipped to carry on this ex-
tended work and sometimes not. At
