BLANES CONGRESS
 FOR SUGAR PRICES
Attorney General Palmer Declares Legislators Failed to Act-Says Wilson Urged Authority to Pur-
 chase Cuban Crop.

Washington, April %. Failure o the government to buy the Cuban sn gar crop last year at low price wa. due to the ignoring by Congress oi President Wilson's request for exten sion of the wartime legislation fol controlling is distribution. Attorney General Palmer said today before the house sugar Investigating committee
 It does not become the Congress he said. to try to -riace tho respon- sihility oa the president. when it is theirs for not acting on his request.
 Appearing to defend his own action In permitting Louisiana growers to sell their sugar at l7 and IS cents 3 pound. Palmer said he had no regret nor apology" for the attitude of the department of justice which he assert cd saved millions for the public on what would have been charged for Louisiaua sugar
 Before the department acted the attorney general said, Louisiana grow CTS had offers for their sugar without regard to price and some contracts had been made on a basis of ei and x2 cents pound.
 T would have hated myself" con. tinued NJ. Palmer. If I had deter. mined 17 cents was fair price and had kept it locked in my breast"
 Washington. April as. Acceptance of ~fair" prices by the department Of justice was defeated today by Attor- ney General Palmer before the house judiciary committee which is inyesti- gating his agreement with Louisiana sugar growers that 1T and Is cents would not be considered an unfair maximum for their products.
 NIT. Palmer declared that acceptance of fair prices was not fixing & price. but the exercising of the lawful dis creation in announcing what the gov. ernment would regard as a violation Of the law" said the attnrney general. shows a lamentable ignorance of the law
 The attorney general said that pro secutions had been brought against hundreds ard hundreds of profiteers by the department since last fall and all were on the theory that the price charged for a commodity beyond a cer. tain figure was unfair.

Andrae Salsedo, Said to Have Con fessed to Part in Bomb 0utrages. Jumps From Fourteenth Floor

New York. May s.Andrae Salsedo 90 years old, detained by the depart ment of justice as an important wit ness against a number of radicals in- yolved in bomb outrages last June, committed suicide early today by hurl- ing himself rom window on the fourteenth floor of Park Row office building where the department head quarters are located.
 Salsedo is believed to have evaded his guard by obtaining permission to 20 to the washroom. While there he leaped from the window. clad only in his underelothing.
 The department of justice declined to give any further information re- garding the prisoner. except to say that he had confessed to part in the June plottIngs and was an important witness.
 Salsedo was to have been given a further examination today by the de- partment agents. It is believed that he chose death in preference to going into court and testifying against other bomb plotters.
 The June bomb attacks include the homes of Judge Charles c. Nott. oi General Sessions court in New Yorh and Attorney General Palmer in Wash ington. Explosions took place in oth- CT cities and resulted in the death cl two nersonS-

Learn how 20 shirk efficiently,
Among electrical appliances there
are many useful aids TO efficient
shirking OF old-time- drudgery-the
electric washer, the electric iron.
which saves steps TO and from hot
stove: the vacuum cleaner the small
table appliances with which meals
may be prepared at table.
A housewife who has once used an
electric washer on washdsy does not
think of going back to the old way
OF washing. She soon perceiyes that
washboard wear shortens the life OF
the clothes more than the actual year
they receive In use, while the work
over the washboard wears out her
own strength much too soon. so In
the matter of efficient Sinking on
Monday and Tuesday. the housewife
not only saves herself but saves the
clothes.
Consider how one may shirk efficient-
ly on cleaning day with the aid OF an
electric cleaner. Cleaning day has
been reduced to cleaning hour almost.
Moreover the electric cleaner means
certified cleaning, not deal OF dust
ing, to be done over and over again

one TON OF COAL MAY
SOON DO WORK OF TWO

Consulting engineers are busy with
a proposed superpower plan proyid-
ing a means by which a present esti-
mated machine capacity OF 1900, ,00o
horse power. 10000, 900 for industrial
purposes and 1000. 900 for railroads
in q region between Boston and Wash
ington and inland from 100 to i5l
tor not exceeding l5 per cent. can be
lifted to a load factor OF greater than
80 per cent and possibly to 60 per
cent. BY this means one ton Of coal
will do the work OF two on the rail
roads within the zone. and those car
rying coal into the zonc will be re-
lieved OF Transporting one-half the
amount OF coal required for power
and lighting purposes. In short, the
value OF machine capacity from a
utilization standpoint will be in
creased three TO four-fold. and coal
resources conserved two-fold.
This means that a present plan ca
pscity OF 1900, 900 horsepower car
be replaced by one not greater than
one $500. 900 horsepower. and tina,
not less than $4,000, 900 tons OF coal
per annum can be saved, which at 81
ton will represent $4,000. 900 a
year. or special interest is the amount
of coal to be saved by the electrical
operation of the railroads. The traniC
within the zone now handled by steam
locomotives II handled electrically
would require an average output OF
less than 100000 XIV, and of pro
duccd entirely by coal burning cleo
trio power stations would reduce tho
coal requirement for transportation
purposes from twenty-one million tons
30 seven million tons annually. As a
certain proport ion OF electric power
will be produced from hydraulic
power stations. this coal requirement
will be reduced further in proportion
as advantage is taken OF hydraulic
operation.

ELECTRICAL TERMS
MYSTERY TO MANY
layman Should Learn to Know
Difference Between "Watt"
and "Ampere."

Greek to me" says many a man
who looks at the items on his elee-
trieity bill and. understanding clearly,
only the total cost figure, pays II new
ertheless without a murmur.
Many people have taken the elec-
trical man and his pattef OF terms
much As they have taken the physi-
sian and the college professor-for
granted. Electricity has remained
nice convenient mystery to the lay
man.
And yet electrical terms should not
be Greek" to the man in the, street
as electricity becomes more and more
an everyday necessity in his house
hold. IL Is quite possible for him TO
understand exactly for what he Is
paying.
He can at lean learn to distinguish
as clearly between watt and smpere
as he does between grip and pneu,
monia. and he cav Judge the size OF
his bill and the service rendered ac-
| cordingly.
1t has been a tribute TO the honesty
OF electrical concerns that SO little
| advantage has ever been taken OF the
| comparative ignorance OF the public
on the earminoiogy OF this public
commodity.
Electricity is bought and sold just
like any other good thing, for what
II will do. for quantity and quality.
And after a little study the terms are
no more complex than those OF the
butcher shop or daily market.
Electrical current flows along
wire and water flows through a pipe.
Just draw a parallel and consider the
electricity the water. The size of the
stream OF water flowing through that
pipe is indicated in amperes for cleo
tricity. The pressure of the water,
the speed with which II flows, is
measured in volts" for electricity.
The term "kilowatt hour" simply
means a kilowatt quantity OF cleo
trio current used for an hours time
| to light lamps or blow breezes or fry
an egg or sweep the floor or do any
thing else around the house that you
want IL to do.
And so. the dial OF the electric
meter in every house registers in
"kilowatt hours" and shows the
householder exactly how much cleo
tricty has been consumed.
