improved Liahtina System

The advantages of electric lamps
that can be moved about from one
place to another may now be consld-
cred in installing the lighting system
in the home or elsewhere. The new
system requires no cord connection,
but a novel type Of plug, to be used
with a special outlet, gives portabil-
ity not only to the lamp bulb, but
to the entire fixture. The outlets are
located In the parts Of the room or es-
tablishment where occasional as we'll
as; permanent lighting may be desir-
able. The plug has curved blades in
stead Of the ordinary straight ones,
and is easily attached to any fixture.
The outlet has two parallel slots in
a rounded triangular center. As the
plug Is inserted with the curved blades
pointing upward, electrical and me-
chanical connection are formed, and
the heaviest household fixture is safe
ly supported. The outlet will also re-
ceive the standard parallel-blade plug
used with cord connections. To change
a lamp from its regular one it is
simply necessary to lift the fixture
from its old location and plug it into
the desired outlet.

mos That Hinder Suscesa. 20
Don't be hampered at the start Of
life's race by the thought that per-
haps there is something about you
that hinders success.
Don't run yourself out. Take a
gait that you can hold. Don't en-
danger your health or sacrifice your
happiness by overeffort. The man
who runs too fast at the start lags at
the finish unless he has extraordinary
staying powers.
One morning. over In France, there
was n call to 90 over the top. The
officer in addressing the men told them
what was to be accomplished and who
was to lead them, 1t was desperate
task that was being undertaken, and
a pale-faced young fellow was the
man upon whom the great burden had
heen put.
"Why did you choose Jones to lead
that expedition" the commanding Off
GER was asked, after the attack had
proved successful.
BECAUSE" said he, "once he gets
started ali hell can't stop him."
That's & great reputation for a
man to have on the field or the farm,

Train yourself so that once you get
started nothing on earth can keep you
from making a finish credltable' to

NEW YORK RAID =.
BRINGS SEIZURES

New York, March 29.-Equors
valued at $SOo,O00 were seized by
prohibition agents here today in
what was described by them as the
biggest raid here since the Volstead
enforcement act went into effect.
The largest resulted in the Bowery
warehouse of the Menorah Wine
company, where $500 cases each
containing three gallons and sou
barrels of wine, each containing 52
gallons, were confscated.
Ernest S. Langley, chief prohibi-
ton enforcement agent, who con-
Quoted the raid, assisted by three
members of his staff, estimated the
present value Of this liquor at $780,
600. Earlier in the day the same
agents visited five other places,
where they confscated wines and
whiskies valued at $4,000.
The Menorah company's ware
house is a four story brick building
next door to the site of the notorl-
Gus resort conducted years ago by
Steve Brodie. In the cellar the
agents found two vats> with a
capacity of 1000 gallons each. Most
of the liquor taken was stored on
the main floor. The upper floors
were used for bottling and casing
wines.
The Menorah company, prohibi-
ton agents said, was originally the
Continental Wine company, and
later became the Garrett company,
taking its present name only re-
Gently. It was said the present COM
pany has no permit to store oG sell
liquor. f -
