SENIORS ENTERTAINED BY THE
JUNIORS AND SOPHOMORES

Nothing could have been more en-
joyable than the reception given to
the Seniors by the Juniors and Sopho-
mOres on Tuesday evening May 18th
at the High School Building.
The color scheme was carried out
In red and white, the High School
Colors, by crepe paper and lovely
banks OF red and white potted flow
ers.
Mock Commencement Exercises
were given in the auditorium by the
Juniors and Sophomores, each one
taking the part of Senior or one Of
the faculty. The entertainment was
something new and caused much mer-
riment on the part of the on-lookers
to see Themselves as others see them.
The Junior-Sophomore Band was
there when 1t came, to racket at
least, as the most part of the instru-
ments were loud whistles and horns.
The lunch room was a place to
play games and get acquainted with
the New Seniors.
Refreshments consisted OF pink
and white brick ice-cream and angle
food cake and coffee. A fresh white
tea-rose lay beside each plate.
1t was merry crowd that regret
fully had to break. up when the
Home Sweet Home Waltz was played
by the real orchestra which was be
hind the banks of flowers.

greater ratio than the increase in
speed. 1t therefore requires much
more effort to control and it can do
untold damage should it get beyond
the drivers control.
Excessive speed causes excessive
wear. The driving shafts are designed
to run at certain speeds below their
critical or bending speeds. Whipping
of drive shafts does not tend to in
crease gradually, but is almost instan-
taneous in its action once the critical
speed is reached. Much damage, not
only to itself, but to surrounding parts,
may be the result of shaft whipping
out of it's proper position. The engine
fiywheel and clutch parts may also be
damaged beyond repair should they
run at an excessive speed.

Must Your Folks
Get Out When You
Change a Tire?
Running Board Tool Box
May Be a Good Invest
snent for Your Comfort
and Theirs as Well

In many of the moderate priced cars
not enough attention has been paid by
makers to the question of tool-carrying
space. Some models in popular use
have tool compartments under the
front seat only and the rear seat has
been set so low that there is no room
at all underneath the rear cushions.
Therefore, when anything happens on
the road that calls for repair work
or when tire has to be changed those
who are in the front seat have to be
disturbed, while the driver gets at his
working stuff. Sometimes the space is
all under the rear seat, and there are
more to unseat.
OF course, if it is only a small mat
ter, chances are he has his pliers in
one of the front door pockets, but for
anything more ambitious he needs
/ more tools.
Another criticism that may be urged
against the judgment of automobile
makers in this respect is that tho tool
compartment isn't spacious enough 1t
does all right for tool roll and
jack and crankhandle, but when chains
and a tire pump are to be carried the
compartment is too cramped These
things are absolutely necessary and if
an automobile is to be a true touring
car it should have adequate room for
the carriage of things that are needed
IN touring.
Some of the higher priced cars have
worked out the thing in better style
In one or two makes one Of the front
door pockets is fitted out as tool
compartment that can be locked up.
When a tool is needed, unlocking this
compartment puts the entire kit where
it can be used to advantage. This
type of construction, Of course, may
not be possible in the case of cars
that cost less.
To meet the situation, many motor
lists have attached running board tool
boxes These do not disfigure the
lines Of the car and they help to make
up for the oversight of the manufac-
turer: A metal box of the fiat and
broad type is more desirable than
short and high box. Very often, indeed
to attach q tall box would mean in |
reference with the opening Of the
door on that side. This should be
guarded against. However, among the
things that arc scarce to-day may be
numbered metal tool boxes. They do
net cost great deal, when they can
be got, and the money spent, anywhere
from So up to So or $40, will be found
a good investment for comfort and
convenience, if yours is one of the
cars in which the manufacturer ap-
parenty overlooked the possibility Of
roadside repair or tire trouble.

AMERICAN WASHER MAKE
BIG HIT in MITYLENE,

The American washing machine
has penetrated the ancient Greek
Island Of Mitylene in the Aegean Sea.
Its advent has electrified the good
wives of that locality. who for cen
turtles have washed clothes without
soap and by peculiar process OF
their own. After threshing the
clothes on the seaside rocks they
pla ced them in a wicker basket. ever
which was placed a cloth sprinklei
with ashes. Hot water was then
poured over the ashes, producing a
I've which seepcd through the cover
ing cloth and bleached the clothes.
It took many women to complete
this primitive method of laundering.
A Nebraska Red Cross woman re-
Gently exhibited the working of the
modern American washing machine
at the Red Cross warehouse before
a crowd of interested women. They
saw her put soiled garments into a
tub with cake of soap and some
water. then clamp down a top and
start turning a crank. In ten min
utes she announced the clothes were
clean. Several In the crowd smoker
ed. But when the clothes were taken
out white and clean, there was .
babel of Greek amazement, and the
women fought to exami ne the ma =
chine and TO turn the crank at the
second demonstration. Yet American
women, who enjoy the convenience
OF an electric washer. sometimes say:

and hang them on the line"

PEPCOCUTS INSTALLATION
COST In new CONCESSION
Extends Free Extensions of Over
head and Underground Lines.
Meets Protests.

Installation OF electric lighting and
power systems In houses and business
places will be encouraged by new
concession announced by William r.
Ham, president OF the Potomac Flee
trio Light and Power Company. at a
hearing before the Public Utilities
Commission.
Where wiring is being installed in
building. the company hereafter
will extend it's overhead lines $50
feet without charge 10 the patron.
Underground work will be extended
- feet without charges. The pre-
Yious concession was 125 feet free for
overhead and 10 feet for underground
work.
The new arrangement reduces the
cost OF installation about $50 for
either underground or overhead con-
struction, as the cost, based on actual
experience Of the company, is 1928 a
foot underground and 40 cents foot
overhead. This price. set by the com
mission, is figured as the cost OF labor
and material. AS new subscribers
come into the ncighborhood so as TO
get advantage OF the extension, the
deposit will be refunded TO the origi-
nal subscriber.
The Public Utilities hearing was
held to discuss complaints by con-
sumers that the deposits required by
the company for extensions were ex-
brilliant.

ELECTRIC CONTROLS FOR
MILITARY SEARCHLICHTS

1t has been found by experience that
an observer operating a military
searchlight finds IT difficult to train
the searchlight on the target when he
is stationed close to the searchlight
itself. The reason for this is that
the observer at the lamp is handicap
ped by the dazzling effect of the
bright beams on the eye.
On account OF this feature of
scarchlight operation, remote control
schemes have been devised whereby
the observer is stationd at a distance
OF some 5000 feet from the search
light itself and there trains the lamp
upon the target by means OF electrical
control.

Not one person In ten realizes that
the science OF illumination Is one OF
the rare arts OF the present day ana
that industrial efficiency depends In
a great measure on skill In the pro-
duction and proper utilization OF
artificial light.
As a Safeguard against accidents,
good light ranks far ahead OF an

spect Is not generally recognized by
industrial executives. Thousands OF
accidents actually due TO poor illumi-
nation are attributed to carelessness
on the part of the workmen, but
there are any number OF cases on
record of accidents caused by poorly
lighted machines: falls due TO bad
lighting in passageways; accidents
from falling material. molten metal
watts. etc, which might have been
avoided by adequate illumination.
An investigation made in 1910 by a
large insurance company covering
OIL 900 accidents indicates that over.

about IS per cent OF industrial acct

even with this progress, IT Is est

men is lost in this country each year,

resulting from poor light.

Quality in electrical material
cannot be too high

There are few places where quality counts for
so much as in electrical work. The failure of a
tiny spring in wall switch may throw your
tire lighting system out of order But the better
manufacturers realize the Importance of quality
apd result their electrical material is built
to last and does last
The better class of electrical contractors,
knowing that their regulations depend on the
material which they use find it pays to buy only
the best.
But of course there are cheaper grades to be
had because there short-sighted contractors to
buy this cheaper material 1t goes into the
cheap jobs, too.
And sometimes it's pretty hard to tell the diff
ference at first. But time is great seeker-out
of poor material and poor Workmanship.
After all, there is little argument, is there?
If you want good electrical work and good ma
terial you will go to reliable, established con-
