Special to The Washington Times.

ROCKVILLE, Nd, July 1.-THE
citizens of Kensington have started

of that town and vicinity with suit
able swimming place. The idea was
suggested by the Kensington Wom'
ans Club and is understood to have
promptly aroused the enthusiastic In
terest of the people of the community
generally.
The project is being pushed by the
Kensington Home, School and Com
munity Association, and at a recent
meeting, which was attended by the
members of the executive board Of
that organization, representatives OF
the various town organizations AMI
the mayor of the town, the matter
was thoroughly discussed and plans
made for a united community effort.
The site has, II is stated, been def
nitely selected. 1t is on property on
Frederick street, owned by the town,
through which stream with an
ample flow of water passes. A dam
thrown across this stream will. II is
said, make possible at least two ex-
cellent ponds--one for the boys and
the other for the girls The location
is within easy reach of all parts OF
the town, and is said to be>susceptible
Of such Identification to add very
much to the attractiveness of the
town.
Next Saturday afternoon fifty
local citizens will don their overalls
and spend several hours clearing up
the lots and constructing the dam.
There will be five teams Of these
volunteer workmen and will be cap

workmen-a picnic supper upon the
conclusion of work. Mrs. George w.

Electrical Editor: What number
Of outlets are considered necessary
for completely wiring a seven
room house?
No exact answer can be given this
question. but the following general
facts may act as a guide: A com
plete electrical home recently built
for demonstrating purposes by an
electrical organization in the West
contained no outlets in an eleven.

maximum, and IT might even be said
that the number is excessive. III

Questions and Answers.

Electrical Editor: / have heard
that violet ray machines cure
many diseases. Can you. tell me
whether 1t is good for neuralgia?
r. T. A.
1t is always best to consult a ply,
sician in the matter of using any
therapeutic appliance. Manufactur
ers OF violet ray apparatus recon,
mend 1t specifically for rheumatlsm,
neuritis and other nerve diseases
but they are careful to stipulate that
1t Is not a cure-all and that IL does
not supersede the doctor. We are
assured that the violet ray is alb
soiutely harmless; In other words
even though II may not be used &C
cording to a physician's instructions
no harmful results can follow. New
