home to increase prOdu
THERE are 100000 homes
i within reach of electricity
waiting to be wired. The use Of
electricity for washing, ironing,
sweeping and cooking has hardly
more than begun.
Nearly every electric light
and power company knows that
it must expand tremendously in
the next four years if it is to
keep up with the demand. Fig
ures taken from Electrical World
Indicate that the equipment Of
these companies will have to be
nearly doubled; and that means
an additional Investment not of
millions, but of approximately
/ BILLIONS of dollars.
We Can Speak Frankly About
This, Having No Axe to Grind
ELECTRICAL WORLD is not
AZ owned by the electric light
and power companies. It is an in
dependent property, one of the
eleven journals of service pub
lished by the McGraW-Hill Com
pany, Inc., New York. 1t is in a
position to speak frankly both
TOits industry and FOR it's in
dustry.
1t HAS spoken frankly to
the electric light companies for
years. 1t has said: "Give service;
give better and better service:
take the public into your conf
dence all along the line"
And what the electric light
companies have done is hardly
short of miraculous. You seldom
stop to think of it. You touch a
button and the light goes on, or
the motor starts a light that
has been made constantly better
and cheaper in the past twenty

was costing SO much more; a
motor that does the work of a
hundred or five hundred men.
The miracle of that light or
motor has become a common
place part Of your life; but it IS
miracle none the less.
The electric light companies
have a right to be proud of it;
and Electrical World can boast of
it, even though the companies do
not.

ture in behalf OF the visitors. with the
formal opening OF the clubhouse at
the tourist camp grounds. the Motor
club got busy and had the regular
weekly band concer staged at the
grounds instead OF the city park.
Under this arrangement over 600
Casper cars. averaging more than five
persons to a car. visited the grounds
last night. The traffic vas so heavy
at the grounds that 1t necessitated
the attention Of a squad OF policemen
as well as officers OF the club TO prop
erly handle traffic in the enclosure.
Casper residents had little knowl-
edge of the facilities h a been
placed at the disposal OF tourists
through the agency OF the clubhouse
and camp grounds arranged for by
the Casper Motor club until the joint
affair was staged last night.
A thoroughly modern camp building.
with all the requirements OF n modern
home. on a large scale. was one of
the first surprises. For the tourist
who visits the grounds there is ample
arrangement for comfort. A screened.

food that can be prepared In the mod

tickies his fancy. Then there is a
large livingroom equipped with writ

To the rear are the laundry and toilet.
rooms. The toiletrooms are equipped
with tubs and showers and the laun-
dryroom with tubs. electric washer.
ironing board and all other require
ments.
Mrs. Larsh, a capable matron. is in
charge of the camp. 1t is her duty
to meet the tourists and inform them
about conditions in town, look after
their needs and impress them with
the fact that Casper welcomes them
so that they will spread the gospel
along the road.
The success Of the tourist camp is
due TO h effort OF the Casper Motor
club. but primarily. credit should be
given to j. S. Mechling. president and
Charles b. Stafford. secretary and
manager. through whose untiring eff.
forts this club is possible at this
time. 1t is part of their duties to
visit the camp grounds at some time
during the day and meet personally
the heads of every party camped on
the grounds.

dividends it is already declaring in
favorable advertising to Casper and
in the actual money that is being

over sixty cars were parked at the
camp grounds last night. The average
tourist stays here less than two whole
days, is favorably impressed with his
welcome and does not begrudge the
money he has spent.
Detailed records from the camp
grounds have been kept since July 2
In hat time 1874 cars have stopped

WASHINGTON. July IA letter
from Premier Lloyd George to Presi-
dent Wilson dated August S. 1920.
dealing with a proposal for cancella-
ton of ~interallied war debts was
placed in the record of h senate
finance committee today by treasury
officials during hearings on the I'D
minIstration's allied loan refunding
bill.
A cablegram on the same subject
from the British chancellor OF h ex-
chequer TO r. c. Lindsay. represent
ing the British treasury in this coun-
try. which was transmitted to then
Assistant Secretary L~effingwell OF the
treasury department, also was pre-
sented.
Both communications were read to
the COMMITTEE by Assistant Secretary
wadsworth on request of Senator La
Toilette. Republican, Wisconsin.
Premier Lloyd George IN his letter
called attention to the insistence Of
France on strict exaction from Ger.
many of te fullest amount OF repara-
ton the German people could pay
and added:
you viii remember that Great Brit
ain borrowed from the United States
about half as much as its total loans
to the allies and eftcr Americas en-
try into the war IL lent the allies
almost exactly the same amount as 1t
borrowed from the United States. Ac.
cordingly. the British government has
informed the French government that
II Will agree to any equitable arrange
ment for the reduction or cancella-
ton of the interallicd Indebtedness,
but that such arrangement must be
one that applies all around"
Lloyd George added that he should
like to make it plain" that there was
no reluctance on the part of Great
Britain 70 agree to the funding OF her
debt to the United States. but that
Great Britain 'cannot ii herself to
arrangement which would prejudice
the working Of any in~terallied arrange
ments which may be reached in the
future"
The British chancellor of the ex-
chequer. in his cablegram. said: I'VE
should welcome a general cancellation
of the intergovernmenral war debts
as the existence OF these information,
al debts detrs neutrals from giving
assistance. checks private cerdits, and
will, 1 fear, prove a disturbing factor
in future international relations"
Whether any response was made
either by President Wilson or the
treasury department to these pro
posals was not disclosed.
Senator Reed, Democrat, Missouri,
asked Secretary Mellon who was be.
fore the committee as to the attitude
OF the treasury toward cancellation
MIR. Mellon said 10 such suggestion
had been made to him since he as
stunned office and that it would not be
considered If made in the future.
The finance committee voted to ask
the judiciary committee for volumi
nous treasury department records SEN
the latter during its inquiry into the
foreign loans.

IS MYSTERY To
OIL OFFICIALS
May Not Srike in Same Spot But
Location Is Too Near for
Comfort; Big Tank Still
Burning

Officials OF the Midwest Refininr
company are unable &c lind a scien
tinc reason for the lightning which
has caused several serious losses al
the Midwest tank farm during IN,
past month. II is a coincidence thai
the lightning which struck the hug,
tank which is still burning struck ir
the next row OF tanks to the lane OF
seven reservoirs which recently went
up in smoke after a disastrous fire.
This weeks fire was caused By &
lightning bolt which zane out of al
most n clear sky. At tho time tn,
tank was ignited the sun was shin
ing in a greater part OF Casper.
A flash of light which last night
made daylight vision possible in Cas-
per was due to the agitation OF the
burning oil when a portion OF this
huge steel tank collapsed.
Just how much OF tho oil has beea
salvaged from the burning tank Il,
unknown. II is believed hat between
40. 900 and 10000 barrels of the so.
900 in storage In the tank will be
saved from the Games. The oil was
new Salt Creek crude which Is thought
to be the most infiammable Of all
crudcs produced in this vicinity.
