SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1920.
JOHN A. CARROLL STARTED SOME
THING TO BETTER CONDITIONS.

John A. Carroll, president of the
Hyde Park State Bank, was the real
starter of the movement which ousted
Chief Of Police Clarity and worked
the sweeping change in the police de-
partment.
Mr.. Carroll's bank had been robbed
OF $272,000 in securities. The police
bungled the matter and recovery OF
the property and arrest of the crimi-
nails seemed doubtful.
Mr.. Carroll, through his own efforts,
trailed the holdup band to a barn,
where he himself found the securities
stolen from his messenger. Edward
Royls, who was arrested, confessed
and implicated his brother, James,
George Doherty of the DreXel hotel,
and James Brennan, son of a police
man.
Then Alderman Guy Guernsey de-
clared that Chief John ]. Clarity
should clean up the police department
check the crime wave, stop profession
al gambling and vice and the illicit
sale of liquor, and make the town safe
for it's citizens, or resign his job.
He could make mighty good start
in forty-eight hours" the alderman
said.
"He could begin by dealing decisive
ly with the policemen who bungled
the capture OF the bandits who held
up the messenger of the Hyde Park
State bank, stealing $272,O0O in secur-
tiles"
What has occurred since is history
now.
Mr.. John A Carroll deserves credit.
Writing TO a friend who had written
10 him on the subject of his prompt
personal action, Mr.. Carroll said:
Il thank you very much for your
letter of November 9th, which was
one of several hundred received ex-
pressing the same sentiments.
I'VE sincerely hope that out of the
unexpected and unlimited publicity
growing out of the unfortunate affair
IL may develop a safer and better Chi
cago, which we all love so well.
"In this connection, l think that a
great deal might be said 10 the citi
Zens themselves. They are all anxious
TO help, but they don't know how, and
this is a good time while attention is
focused on the Police Department
which seems to be entirely broker
down, to do everything we can to hell
10 buid it up, not by useless criticism
and the discharge Of police officers
here and there, who may be unfor
tunately involved. but by an entire
reorganization.
IF the Chief of Police and the othel
executive heads will take this view
of il, admit it's weakness, and stop try
ing to defend it, l believe if we al
work in harmony, much good will re
suit.
This is the message which 1 an
delivering everywhere am asked TO
an opinion. / think this is the mes
sage we should all deliver"

low the heating element af an electric
grill, scramble some eggs properly In
a pan above the element, toast some

Then, best OF all, IL has been prepared

The result we want to achieve In
food preparation Is to get out OF our
foods the highest nutritiye value, the
best quality, and the most satisfaction
they are capable OF Yielding. Good
cookery depends less on knowing
many different recipes word for word
than on being familiar with the gen
eral laws in cooking different classes
or foods. such as meats, cereals ana
eggs.
The portability OF the electric grill
is an important feature. What
pleasant thing IL is nowadays to pre-
mare a meal wherever IL is wanted.
Instead OF always In a kitchen. With
an electric grill and a convenient out

oil IMPORTANT AS
DOMESTIC ASSET
Housewife Should Acquaint Her.
self With Its Use on
Many Machines.

When one understands how oil
works" in a household appliance, It's
Importance and it's effect upon the life
and satisfactory operation OF ma
chimes will be better appreciated. II
this single fact were understood by
housekeepers. the number OF repairs
and complaints would be reduced by
half.
In oiling a vacuum cleaner, for ex-
ample, one puts a few drops into a
little cup and the oil works down by
way OF wick TO the bearing. Here
the oil spreads out, just as IL does
when you drop IL upon water, and
forms a thin Aim between the two
pieces of metal. As the motor whirls
at terrific speed-many OF them run
IL 900 revolutions a minute-there is
no wear between the whirling mot or
shaft and the bearing which holds H.:
all the "wear" occurs upon this Aim
OF oil. for the two pieces of metal do
not touch.
Anyone can see at once how impor-
tant II Is to maintain the film OF oil
between the two surfaces. If the oil
eVaporates or wears out" the two
pieces of metal begin to grind against
each other and they wear out. Soon
the bearing becomes loose and the
machine rsttles and must be taken to
the electric shop for repairs. And
after beipg repaired II l.. never quite
as good as before; II IL like a person
who has had some terrible strain or
illness.
The first warning sign that a ma
chine needs oiling is a slight squeak.
At first the oil Aim wears away in a
tiny spot and the friction at this spot
makes the noise. Gradually the bare
spot grows, the squeak increases. As
the metal continues to rub IL heats
hotter and hotter. burning away the
oil rapidly until none Is left.
In case the bearing fits snugly, II
sometimes happens that the contrac-
tion of the metal when II cools will
cause the bearing to freeze" or stick.
This action is exactly what happens
when q metal tire is put on a wagon
wheel The tire Is heated red hot and
expands; then after being placed on
the wheel it Is contracted by being
plunged into cold water. The con-
traction OF the metal causes the tire
to grip the wheel so solidly that 1t
will not come off until the wood dries
and shrinks away from the tire.
A frozen" bearing on an electrical
appliance may result in damage and
expense because IL may cause the mo-
tor to "burn out" When you turn the
electric current into a motor. the mo-
| tor tries to turn and anything which
| retards the motion causes il to heat
up in its effort to do it's work. A
frozen" bearing will not allow the
motor to turn; hence the motor heats.
dries out and chars the insulation and
finally short circuits, or burns out"
The damage may be comparatively
slight or the motor may be practically
iruined--depending on how quickly the
, current Is turned off.
Probably half the mishaps and small
repairs are due to improper oiling.
Too much oil may cause trouble 8 5
well as absence of oil. A few drops -
! just enough to maintain the film be-
tween the moving metal-will gencr-
ally keep any appliance in smooth
running condition.

MEASURE ELECTRICITY
BY KILOWATT HOUR

Electricity is measured and sold by
the kilowstt-hour. A kiIowatt-hour
is equivalent to one and one-third
horsepower for a period of one hour.
The kilowatt is further divided into
watts; 1000 watts being equal to one
kilowatt. Lamps are usually rated
in watts.
A forty-watt Mazda lamp (about
thirty-two-candle power) will con-
sumo forty watt hours of electric en-
ergy in one hour.
