Camp Director Greets Scouts

George G.. Watson, whom all the
Scouts remember as having directed
activities in the camp last summer,
writes from New York City TO the
effect that he is attending Columbia
University, but that Camp Turner is
calling him and that he will try to
be with us next summer. He sails;
Remember me kindly To all the
Scouts. Tell them if | happen to be
in their camp next summer that
shall expect them TO work on tests
this winter, so they can make q
number one record in the next camp
You certainly have seine mighty
fine Scouts tell them not to forget
the good old pep stuff-there il
nothing like il, The New York Scouts
have nothing on the Oklahoma
Scouts"
That's fine. OF course we know
eastern scouts can't hold candle to
our Ardmore Scouts when it comes
to real genuine scouting, but all the
same we like to hear someone else

NEW LAMP SHADES ARE
MADE OF OSTRICH PLUMES

Many women make their own lamp
shades Of silk, or of chiffon drares
or other light material, but a clever
woman designer In New York has
gone q step further and has made
exquisite lamp shades out of ostrich
plumes.
A certain display man wanted
new lamp shades to adorn two dis.
play windows on Fifth avenue. The
color scheme of each window was
orange and black, the objects Of dis.
play were orange-coiored evening
wraps and handsome black hats.
Two floor lamps illuminate the dis
play, each lamp having a shade made
OF orange-colored plumes tipped with
black. The frame used has four sides
and IL smaller Mt the bottom than at
the top. The plumes stand urrigh. and
are fitted In closely around the bottom
of the frame which Is covered with
orange maline. The tips OF the plumes
droop over slightly on the outside.

ELECTRIC TEA KETTLES
HANDY AND CONVENIENT

With the coming OF chill winter
afternoons, the hostess naturally
plans frequent cozy afternoon teas.
For tea service wakes more and more
popular in this country, even though
we have hardly attained to such
fondness for 1t as our cousins across
the water.
From the days when DIR. johnson
made the eighteenth century record
Of sixteen cups at a sitting-though
they do say the cups were very
small-the cheerful, uninebriating
drink has steadily grown In favor,
both here and abroad. It's popularity
influenced furniture makers, who
produced dainty. light tables which
might easily be carried to an APP
propriate place before the open fire.
And then they devised the table tops
which fold up out of the way against
the wall when not in use. Dainty
china and silver sets next appeared
to grace the festivities, and trays OF
beautiful design, followed by smart
tea carts, to convey all the trappings
to and from the kitchen on wheels.
Latest of the refinements in tea
equipage is the electrical tea kettle,
which, with its companion, the cleo
trio samovar, has simplified the

an extent formerly undreamed Of.

number Of volts-the volt Is the unit
Of electrical pressure-and the num-
Der of amperes, an ampere being the
quantity Of electricity which will flow
through wire or other conductor
having a resistance Of one ohm, ut a
pressure of one volt. A watthour
therefore represents the work done by
one watt of electrical energy expended

Perhaps 1t would make the electrical

hour more readily understood by

to express 1t in horse power. A kilo.
watt-hour Ia practically equivalent to
one and one-third horse power hours,
since 746 watts equal one horse power.
Therefore the rs XVIII. indicated in
the bill mentioned were equivalent to
approximately 35 horse power hours.
Thus the householder to whom the
bill was rendered had had the equiva-
lent of 35 horse power for one hour,
or one horse power for 35 hours.
