PROPOSE LIGHT HOUSES
- TO GUIDE NIGHT filters

Aviators have long felt the neces-
sity for light to guide them on
their way. just as mariners have had
provided for them.
1t has been suggested that the light
houses along the coast should be
equipped so as to throw their rays
perpendicularly through the air as
well as out to sea. Following the
lines of this suggestion, and in order
to make the North American con-
tinent safe for night flying. ii is now
suggested that light houses be erect
ed in all large cities or wherever
aerodromes are erected, whose lights
shall be projected into the sky, these
lights to be varied in color or in
frequency. some would be stationary,
some would be rotated, and the avia
tor would recognize by the color OF
the light, frequency of its fash. or its
rotative motion. just where he was.
The aerodromes would all be indi-
Gated by colored light to differen-
tiate them from cities.
Powerful electric searchlights will
be used for the purpose.

Not like a bull in a
china shop--,-

No, indeed. That is not the way our wire
men will go at your home when they wire it for
electricity.
But, instead, they will come quietly with drop
cloths to cover your furniture and carpets-to
catch any little dirt which may fall. They will
r "fish'' the wires under the floors, up thru the
walls, without smashing the plaster in the parlor
or tearing the paper in the front hall.
And the work which is out of sight, under
the floors inside the partitions, will be just as
good as that which you and the inspectors.can
see.
We employ our wiremen because of their
thorough knowledge of their trade. They can
be trusted to treat kindly the finest residence.
You see we have built our business and repu-
tation to last-on doing only the best work and
on giving full dollars worth of value for every
dollar received.

ELECTRIC DRIVE SHOWS
MOTIVE POWER ECONOMY

A comparison of performance of
the motive power of the New Mexico
with that of other bsttleships. shows
marked economy in favor of the cleo
trio drive. Thus at twelve knots
sped the consumption in tons of oil
per day was for the New Mexico (elec-
trio drive) seventy-five tons as COM
pared with the Arizona for her cruis-
ing turbines 100 tons and main tur-
bines 10, and for the Mississippi for
her cruising turbines ninety-Sine
tons. and for her main turbines lis
tons OF on per day.
At nineteen knots. the consumption
of the New Mexico was 263 tons, OF
the Mississippi main turbines 305 tons.
and Of the Idaho main turbines, $40
tons per day.

PHONOCRAPH MUSIC BY

One OF the most unusual electrical
devices to be placed on the mark ct
recently is the photograph turntable

This modern continuance consists
OF small electric lamp, mounted on
a base. in which are combined a

accessory Is intended TO be attached
to the inside of a talking mac he

MANY new USES FOR
X-RAY ARE DISCOVERED

New uses for the Xray are describ-
ed in recent issue of the Journal
of Electricity. The N-ray~ has been
found very useful in the examination
of timber up to eighteen inches thick.
Internal knots. resin, pockets, cracks,
and grub holes can be easily detected
an invaluable aid in airplane con-
struction.
Another important use of the X-ray
is in ascertaining abe purity of in
sulating materials for electrical use.
Small metallic specks in fiber or mica,
for instance, can be detected in

girls can run 500 sacks an hour
through the ironer, making a cost OF
s.0O66 per sack for current. There
are thiQy-four ironers in operation
at the present time or on order, and
by another season this number Will
be greatly increased.
The packing houses OF California
open up a large field for the use of
electricity as every branch OF the in
dustry has the problem OF sterilizing
lug boxes, containers against fungi
and the many different insects that
prey upon fruit and orchids. The cod

TAKES 1856 RUBS
FOR WEEKLY WASH
Patient Salesman for Electric
Laundry Machine Holds
Counter on Laundress.

There Is a young man associated
with one of Cleyeland's electric
stores who deserves a medal for pa
thence. We will not tell who this
young man is, nor where he works
but We will say that he Is a smiling
aggressive chap, and that his par
tioulsr specially is electric washing
machines.
A few weeks ago a lady who was
examining one OF this salesman
washers asked him, How much rub
bling do clothes get on an ordinary
washing board?"
That sounds like o simple enough
question, but as "A matter OF fact' no
body. so far as could be learned hsd
ever stood by and kept an exact rec
ord OF tho rub-rub-rub of the washer

of course that the old-fashioned
method OF making clothes clean con-
sists in an abundance OF elbow
grease" applied to zinc-coVereo
corrugated board, but just how much
energy or how many rubs, NOBODY
knowsl
Takes Count of Rubs.
So this patient, smiling salesman
took the next Monday on, ana WIZ
