THAW PIPES BY
use OF JUICE
Exclamation of How Electrical
Current May Be Used in
Common Emergency.

II works like lightning is a familiar
figure of speech. That may be taken
literally. however. i'll the case of the
method of thawing frozen water pipes
developed by Prof. II. J Dana OF the
engineering experiment station at the
State College of Washington. He says
the ideal method is to shoot current
of electricity through the pipes, and.
Presto. the ice is melted without any
bursting and flooding.
"A locality which has enjoyed years
Of snowy winters occasionally finds it.
self in the midst of a cold snap with
no snow to protect the ground from
freezing" says Prof Dana. IF water
pipes have not been uniformly located
beneath the frost line, the result viii
be an epidemic of frozen water pipes.
Unless relieved this soon results i'll
actual hardship to the people III the
affected houses, which can be relieved
only by re-establishing water service.
Frequently the pipe is frozen at
the curb cock, or where the pipe
crosses the parking strip to the street,
or perhaps il is frozen just outside
the wall where il enters the house.
In any event, TO get at the pipe to
thaw il with q torch requires more Or
less excavatins i'll frozen dirt, and
then perhaps the pipe is not frozen
where il was thought to be. This meth
cd also leads TO unnecessary exposure
of the pipe to further freezing. TAX
ing into account the hard and dis
agreeable work and the length of time
and expense incurred. the digging out
method is very unsa tisfactory.
Thaws 100 Feet IN Few Minutes.
The ideal method of thawins froz-
en- water pipes is by electricity. This
has an advantage for every disadvan-
taEe of the other methods. 1t is quick
taking but a few minutes to thaw out
hundred feet of pipe. 1t can be used
on long stretches at time and can
be used wherever the pipe is metal.
II will reach places inaccessible by
other means. It does not require the
disturbance of anything on the prem
Uses nor that the exact location Of
the frost be found. Furthermore II
is comparatively cheap where there is
any amount of thawins to be done.
In Engineering Bulletin No. just
of the college press there are dia-
grams and tables showing the actual

LARGE CROWDS ATTENDING
UNION REVIVAL SERVICES
DR.. Hill and The SCOTS, of Chatta-

The union services at the Cumber-
land Presbyterian Church began on
last Sunday morning. Both the re-
vivalist and song director were pres
ent and in the opening service made
very profound impression on the
great audience.
Brother Hill is proving himself to
be the right man to lead this union
campaign. His sermons are of the
strongest gospel presentations this
city has ever had the opportunity Of
hearing No note of sectarianism has
been sounded, and members of all de-
nominations are uniting in an effort
to further this work.
Tom Scott and wife are singing to
the entire satisfaction of all. There
are few evangelistic singers who
equal Tom Scott, and he is ably as
sisted by Mrs. Scott.
Interest is increasing, great crowds
are attending and the religious forces
of this city are happy in the belief
that we are on the eve of great re-
vival.
The meeting will continue for at
least three weeks.

Schools from all over the county were
well represented, about S5 teachers
being present. The invocation and

and Prof A. T. Barrett, of Martin,
spoke on can Ideal Course of Study
for Rural High Schools" Vocal and
instrumental music was rendered by
Misses Dora Underwood and Lou
Phillips and Mr.. J. r. Williams, Jr.,
assisted by the student body of the
ischOol. The programme was followed
by business session.
Dixie High School was one of the
first consolidated schools established
in this county, and is located about
II miles west of Union City on the
Union City and ReelfOot Lake road
At present much interest is being
shown in the question Of special tax
ing districts and the community is
discussing establishing such a taxing
district for the benefit of the school.

of the committee on the road to Rives

and interesting them in selling their

H. A. McELROY EXTENDING
SCOPE OF BUSINESS.
ENTER THE STATE OF ILLINOIS
WITH SIX NEW STORES.
The Remarkable Success Of One of
Bowling Green's Biggest Enterprises.

The H. A. McElroy Company of
this city, proprietors of chain of
five and ten cent stores, have met
with such phenomenal success and
their business has increased SO rapid
ly since they began in a small way
several years ago, that they have
been compelled to still further widen
and extend the scope Of their opera
tions. They have just completed ar
rangements for entering the State OF
Illinois and by October 1st will have
new store in operation at Paris.
They also expect to have another
opened at Centralia by the first of
the year. In addition to this they
are securing leases on buildings in
four additional Illinois towns and ex-
pect at an early date to have them in
operation. They have had their COM
pany domesticated at Springfield, ILL.,,
this being necessary before they
could do business in that State. The
store at Centralia will make the
eighteenth of their chain and they
expect by the beginning Of the new
year to have twenty stores in full
operation in the States of Kentucky,
Tennessee and Illinois.
The company has a capitalization
of a half million dollars and they
have some stock on the market which
is selling satisfactorily. They have
had several propositions from differ
ent sources to take all the available
outstanding stock, but declined them,
preferring to have greater number
of stockholders covering a wider
stretch of territory. Their entire
chain of stores is doing a splendid
business and largely increasing the
volume each year. While this has
been the dull season their stores have
done from 80 to 40 per cent more
business this summer than last.
President McElroy thinks the pros
poets are exceedingly bright for a
largely increased business this fall
and winter, and ample arrangements
are being made to meet all the de-
mands that will be made upon the
different stores. Few people, even
here in Bowling Green, at the gen
eral headquarters of the enterprise,
have an adequate idea of what an
immense business concern it is The
success which has consistently at
tended the operation of these stores is
little less than marvellous. This is due
in large measure to the efficient and
intelligent manner in which the bus
mess has been managed by the Off
cials of the corporation. If they have
ever made any mistakes it does not
show in the least in the general re-
suits obtained and under their guild
ance the business has prospered be-
yond even the most sanguine eXpecta-

SOUTH FULTON HIGH
BLANKS UNION CITY HIGH

The 1922 football season opened at
the High School on last Friday, when
the local team played the strong
South Fulton High School at Fulton
The game ended in a victory for Full
ton. The entire game was featured
by the ragged playing of the locals.
Fumbles were made at every stage
of the game and most of the scoring
of the opposing team was due to the
misplays of the locals.
This years team has plenty of
weight but very little speed, and in
addition is made up to large ex-
tent of very green material. Some
of the men had never played a game
of football before, and this made the
coach's task a more difficult one.
Coach HOFFMAN will put in week of
strenuous work trying to work. out
the many defects that were so ap-
parent in the Fulton game. The
team will play Newbern High School
on Friday, Oct. 6, at the baseball
park. Newbern is reported to have
a strong eleven and hopes to get re-
venge for last years defeat at the
hands of the locals.
The schedule arranged for this |
year is one of the most attractive and
difficult ever attempted by a local !
school. The big home games will be
with Dyersburg, Covington and Carr
Institute. The big game away from
home will be with McFerrin at Mar
in on Thanksgiving day. A banner
