NEW METHOD TO
| CARRY F]3!l CURRENT !
Plan Will Reduce Cost
of Transmitting
Electricity
tBy International News Service

| by International News Service)
| WINNIPEG, Man.-Professor ]
w. Dorsey of the University of Man.
itoba, has announced, after an ex.
haustive survey of the water power
resources Of Winnepeg river, that he
has discovered a new method oil
transmitting eleotEic power which
will go to Washington, D. c., where
he has been called to lay his dis
covery before the United States
bureau of standards.
Long before the coal fields of
the world are exhausted electricity
will have supplanted coal as the uni
versal fuel in homes and the motive
power in industry" said Professor
Dorsey. by the development of
water power it is possible to do away
with the necessity for coal. If the
potential water power of Winnipeg
river were developed it would be suf-
ficient to turn every factory wheel in
Canada and heat every home and
office in Winnipeg even if the tenn
perature remained at forty degrees
below zero, all the year round. 1t
would be vastly cheaper for Winni-
peg to obtain its electric heat and
power from Winnipeg river eighty
miles than to haul coal 1400 miles
from Pennsylvania. With such an
immense supply of cheap power to
draw upon Winnipeg must inevitably
develop into one of the great manu-
featuring centers of Canada
1t is from Winnipeg river that the
municipality owned hydro-electric
system derives it's power which is
sold to industrial plants at a lower
rate than in any other city in the
world. In addition to the city's
power plant, another which will cost
$9,O00,000 is being erected on Win
nipeg river at Du Bonnet Falls.

HE COULDN'T REMEMBER
HIS SWEETHEART'S NAME
(By International News Seryice)

(By International News Service)
COALITION, .Okla.-Making errors
in his bride-to-be's first name proved
no bar to J. C. Coughlin, thirty,
obtaining the girl of his choice"
After having obtained six marriage
licenses only to find that memory
had played him a trick each time,
Coughlin wrote the name on a piece
of paper, pinned it to his coat lapel
and secured "life sentence" certifi-
cate No. 7.
The family upon which Coughlin's
affections centered-Hurst by name
included three daughters. His
trouble was that he failed to re-
member whether is was Ethel, Fan
ME or Mabel when he arrived at the

CANADIAN SCRUB
COW MAKES RECORD
No Care Taken of AMI
NAL But Wonderful
Showing is Made

(By International News Service)
LANGLEY, B. C.-John Prang
horst's COW is a plain, garden variety
OF scrub. She 10 founding of for
gotten pastures. Her father anG
mother are unknown. A homely
beast with crumpled horn and a
moon eye, this hopeless plebeian is
no longer young.
Scrub cows have no social stand
ing in British Columbia. From the
sea coast meadows of the lower
Fraser to the agricultural valleys
along the Grand Trunk Pacific rail
way, the farmers take pride in their
purebred dairy herds. The milking
champion of last year was a British
Columbia Holstein. But with all this
blue-blooded rivalry, Prang horst's
crumpled-horn scrub has made a
milking record that has won place
for her in the dairy history of the
province.
In a seven-day test recently she
produced 34S pounds of milk con-
tanning 4.6 per cent Of butter fat.
That is yield of which daughter
OF Holstein or Jersey royalty might
well be proud. If this seven-day
average were maintained thruout
the year it would mean an annual
yield of 20,O96 pounds.
Pranghorst's scrub was given no
care at all. She was fed on no stimu-
lating scientific diet. She ate only
grass and hustled for the heritage in
a forty-acre field. No'barn sheltered
her at night On her bed of pasture
turf she chewed her cud under the
stars. Under these rough condi-
lions the old cow has made record
of milk on grass that has rarely, if
ever, been equalled and has proved
that something of old Roman sturdi-
ness still remains in plebeian blood.

WILL CLOTHES BE
CHEAPER II SOON?
Wholesalers and Manu-
facturers Fail to Shed
Much Light
BY international News Service

NEW YORK." Are clothes gonna
be cheaper this fall and winter?
Like Hamlet said on the "to be OF
not to be- problem-"that is the
question"
And it is a question which is not
only bothering the buying, public
but the retailer, the wholesaler and
the manufacturer as we'll.
Conditions right now are very un-
usual in many lines of merchandise
and leading wholesalers and manu-
facturers when interviewed in this
city frankly admitted that they could
make no prediction on the trend OF
prices altho some hazarded the opin-
ion that after the opening of the fall
and winter season prices in some
lines would have tendency to sag
downward, and there may be ma
terial reductions by next spring.
But no decided drop may be ex-
pected this fall wholesalers stated,
in spite of present market conditions
in woolens and silks, even tho Mr..
and Mrs. Purchaser look for an i'm
mediate reduction in prices. 90,
Take, for instance, the various
lines of women's wear, always noted
for putting such a crimp in the
family bankroll. An authority on
this line of1trade said when inter-
viewed on prices that nothing defin-
lite could be given out. 1--WE won't
know where we're at until the sea-
son opens in the fall" he stated. The
retailers have not placed orders
heavily. They have bought spar
ingly in different lines in small lots.
They are holding on for lower prices,
afraid to stock up. Whether stocks
will be thrown on the market at
lower prices, however, is the ques-
ton. a-yJ ,-,s,
That is also the exact situation in
mems clothing. Retailers are hold
ing off for lower prices, altho present
stocks we're made up Of high priced
material and with high labor cost.
Perhaps prices will be lower after a
time, but experts in the clothing line
do not look for any decided change.
OF course, lower cost Of material
brings down prices, but not to the
extent some anticipate, for the labor
cost will remain high, right at the
present scale and transportation
charges will be higher. Ar
Silks offer an interesting study.
Silk which sold at $1S was down to
Sc in the market few days ago.
Georgettes which formerly were
$3.50 are less than a dollar on the
market today. What about the re-
taller who has his shelves stocked
with silks at high price? How
much can he afford to cut? 1t IA a
very topsy-turvy condition said one
silk man and the prices Of silks will
furnish an interesting study for
some time to come.
In other lines, such as shoes and
hats, there seems no trend away
from present prices, altho it seems as
tho the peak had been reached.
But shoppers, as they, pass along
and note the prices. in the store win
dows seem to be firm in the belief
that prices are gonna come down."
and that's what they are waiting for,
many buying sparingly, just as the
retailer is now buying. It's policy
OF "watchful waiting" all along the
line at present.

keep YOUR ICE BOX
! CLEANED TO Prevent
PT0MAINE POISONING

Just about one housekeeper in ten
takes enough trouble to keep her ice
box really clean, says a Richmond
housewife
An Ice box may seem perfectly
clean, owing to frequent wiping out,
while the pipe which connects the ice
chamber with the drain below Is ut
terly neglected. This becomes coated
with thick slime which gives off
noxious gas, which communicates the
food and causes the moldy film to
form, which tells US that we must
throw the food away.
Sometimes the danger signal OF
mold Is lacking, owing to the kind OF
food, and then the food is eaten, and
the first thing we know we have the
doctor saying with a grave face.
"ptomaine poisoning.
Where to Find Il
The pipe referred to Is almost al
ways adjustable, and the only way TO
insure perfect cleanliness Is to take
1t out and boil it in good strong wash
Ing soda solution, at least once in two
weeks.
Every other Monday morning when
the ice supply is low and the boiler
out for the washing, put the pipe and
trays in and boil them for ten minutes
in soda water; the drain pan under the
box is washed with soda likewise. and
hot soda water poured down the drain,
The inside of the box is washed and
dried thoroughly; the trays and pipe
are cooled by letting cold water run
over them, so that they may not re-
tain heat and melt the ice when it is
put In, dried and put back. and the
ice box Is ready for the Ice man.
Let Box Stand Open
If 1t is possible it helps to let the
box stand open occasionally after
this treatment SO that the air may
kcirculate through it. There should be
special ice box dishes. covered IL pos
sible. People have the habit of set
ting away dish Of food Just as it
comes from the table, which is not
only unhygienic, but hard on the good
dishes, which are liable to suffer
chips from crowding in the Ice box.
If anything Is spilled it pays to take
the time to clean up at once and pre-
vent the clogging Of the pipes and,
in consequence, smelly ice box. l
always see that the ice Is washed be-
fore being put away and anyone who
has seen the travels of piece OF Ice,
even from wagon to kitchen, instantly
appreciates the reason for that.
Charcoal and unslacked lime are ex-
icellent disinfectants, and may be kept
in saucers to keep the air OF the ice
box sweet.
