SOLAR LIGHT AND POWER PLANT |S
 AR|z. INVENTION

An American scientist, Henry E. Wilsie. built some years ago a solar light and power plant on a small scale out in Arizona in the barrenness of an Arizona desert. The underlying prin- ciple of this interesting development is the drawing of the heat from the sun's rays into a moving sheet of water, which passes up and down through series of Zigzag passagewaXs under a double thickness of glass.
 Where the sun has considerable thermal power as it has in the great southwest and in tropical regions, 1t is said to raise the temperature of the water to about 150 degrees The heated water passes into a sulphur dioxide boiler and this water later returns to the glass heating tanks. The heated water at a temperature of l50 degrees or more runs off through a pipe into a storage tank, insulated with layers of dry sand This scientist claims that the water will remain hot from four to ten days when stored in this tank and that he can run his engine and dynamo at night without any storage batteries and obtain electric lights, which he actually did at his Arizona plant.
 Sulphur dioxide has a low boiling point and when it begins to boil the necessary sulphur dioxide steam is ob- tained wherewith to run the engine. So instead of using firt to make steam in the boiler, hot water is used instead, heated originally by the sun. As Mir. Wilsies electric light was obtained at night, it was actually made by the rays of the sun shining during the previous day, a seeming paradox,

FARM HOME: NON HAS ALL MODERN
 CONVE NCES

If you had asked any farm family a few years go what they needed most in their homes, the answer would have been, Electric lights and a bathroom.
 The need for electric light was sup piled when progressive manufacturers devised means to produce electric gen. erafing plants in compact form so that they could easily be installed on each farm at nominal cost. This was first accomplished three or four years ago. A complete water system came a little later to solve the bathroom problem. Today any farm family can have a bathroom, well equipped, modern and sanitary.
 The clean, white procelain tub. ready for use at any time. is surely an inn provement on the old fashioned tin or wood affair that used to be brought out on Saturday nights. And turn ing a faucet, that quickly fills the tub with steam hot water, is surely more convenient than pumping several tubs full of water by hand and heating it in the wash boiler on the kitchen stove.
 But perhaps the strongest argument for a bathroom lies in it's effect on the health of the whole family. For years the state health departments and the agricultural colleges have real ized that one Of the principal causes of illness in rural districts lay in the absence of indoor toilets and sanitary sewage disposal. They have advocated bathrooms and aseptic systems to overcome this condition.
 Today, with good aseptic systems available, and complete farm water system to furnish continuous water supply, convenient sanitary bathroom indoors not only means greater con- Yenience, but in addition affords real health protection

Natures Best Gift to Man

2O0o acres of it, has been brought under irrigation by this project and the land is ready today for the seed and success. The pipe line and the pump ing plant are installed and the water is ready and waiting for the land; and the electric power to set all in motion awaits but the closing of a switch. The soil is said to be the best of the lands in the upper Snake River Valley. With the closing of a switch or two big motors drive a combined capacity of the pumps of 5000 gallons of water per minute onto the now arid soil.
 During the last year the Idaho Falls district has progressed wonderfully. No small amount of credit for this progress is due the promoters and originators of irrigation projects simi- lar to this one on the west side of Snake river.

HOT DAYS COMING;

 COMFORT PROV|DER

No one article of household equip ment has ever been invented that brings more comfort on warm day than the electric breeze fan. Let the fan follow you about the house on hot days. Let it keep the nursery and bedroom fresh and sweet, let it breeze through the rooms refreshing the air before retiring.
 With the advent of warm weather and spring cleaning, many housewives are confronted with the problem of properly airing out" clothes closets and poorly ventilated attics and store rooms. As many of these places are not provided with windows this is a difficult matter. It may, however. be accomplished by running a small elec- tric fan in the room for , Or 10 min utes after which the air will be fresh ened as though a direct breeze had blown through it.
