the beauty Of the scenery and the

Smoke and CRIME, however. have
been eliminated on electrified lines
by the substitution of electric serv-
ice for steam locomotives. There
are no cinders to blind the traveller

EDISoN'S GREATEST WORK
TO BE cOMMEMOR GRATED

While friends Of Thomas A. Edi-
son are still congratulating him on
the accession of his seventy-fifth an
siversary, his associates In the cleo
trical industry are planning add
tionai honors for later in tho year,
for 1922 is not only tho seventy
fifth anniversary Of Mr.. Edison's
birth, but 1t is the fortfieth anni-
versary Of the completion by him
Of the beginning of New York's
present electrical system.
On September I. 1882. New
York's first central station and un.
derground system Of distribution
were completed and placed In oper.
alton according to plans conceived
and executed by Mr.. Edison. BY
many. this Is considered Mr.. Edi-
sons greatest contribution to man.
kind, and the principles that were
laid down in the construction of
that station formed the basis Of
similar stations all over the world.
Indeed there has been but little
deviation from them in all the years
that have passed.

The modern kitchen, of course, con-
tains an electric range and an cleo
trio refrigerating machine. In most
cities the range and the refrigerat-
ing machine should be on meters in
dependent from everything else in
the house, as rates are usually Of
fered for service for these purposes
less than lighting rates q
IL. The pantry should be provided
with not less than two convenience
outlets for:
Small cooking appliances. plate
warmer, percolator, fan.
Sometimes the arrangement Of the
kitchen and pantry make 1t advis-
able that the refrigeratlng machine
be located in the pantry.
AS an item of further information,
II is best to explain probably that
electric convenience outlets are what
are sometimes called wall, Dashboard
or floor receptacles. Usually II is
advisable to have these outlets in
the Dashboard, or on the wall. ac-
cording to the kind Of appliance or
appliances that will be attached. OF
course, 1t Is not necessary TO have
a separate convenience outlet for
each appliance. As in the above
suggestions 1t will be noted that one
or two convenience receptacles will
suffice for a number of appliances.
1t is necessary, however, that each
part of the house be provided with
a sufficient amount SO that nppli-
ances that might be used at the same
time can be attached. and. further,
so that the appliances will be con-
venient to the part Of the room
where 1t Is expected they will be
used. ELECTRICAL EDITOR.

COOKING WITH
ELECTRICITY IS

No Watching Nor Cautious

Modern Equipment.

Do you remember the story Of the
colored "mammie" who kept all the
burners on her new gas range burn
ing all the day to make the new
tangled stove" as like as possible to
her old coal range? And have you
ever watched a good housekeeper
use q vacuum cleaner for the first
time? Notice how she rushes the
cleaner over the rug with short
pushy, broomlike motion. 1t takes
her a day or two two to learn that
the less effort she makes, the better
the work Of the cleaner.
Learning to use the electric labor
savers is largely a problem of learn
ing what not to do. For instance
the principles Of cooking on an cleo
tric' range are the same as on any
stove, but with electricity one must
acquire the knack Of handling the
current economically, OF mot doing
Most of the customary attention to
the cooking is not only unnecessary

Housewife Should Remember
To Turn of Current

Electrical Editor: Will you please
give me a few hints on economical
use Of current on an electric range?

The simplest, and most important
thing, of course. Is always to re-

minute you are through with It..
This is a point which people fire.
quently neglect.
Plan to use the oven Of the
range as much as possible, and
the fireless cooker compartment II
you have one. Being heavily in
sulated, these conserve heat. Cook
as many different things in the
oven at one time as you can, util-
izing the heat to the fullest ex-
tent. Do not open the oven door
TO see how things are getting along,
for this is unnecessary on the cleo
trio range and 1t would cause con-
siderable loss Of heat.
On the surface burners" It is
a good plan to use the sectional
cooking pans when possible. 50
that two Of more foods may be
cooked on one heating element at
the same time. Use the current at
you can. After liquids come to a
boil 1t will not take a great deal of
current to keep them at that point.
Remember that after water has
begun to boil. 1t will not get any
hotter. but the heat will pass off
in the form Of steam. Aluminium
vessels are advisable because they
absorb the heat more readily and
retain II longer than other kinds.
The operation of an electric range
is simple, and the amount of cur
rent II consumes is surprisingly
little, when reasonable care is used.

Wyo. Mrs. Whitney intends to spend
two years on the work. which she hopes
will be her masterpiece. She regards

been in Italy in the interests OF H. II.
Frasee. Nine. Duse retired just be-
fore the war, but was compelled recently
to resume her profession by the poverty
brought by the war. Mr.. Williams said
he spent three weeks in inducing the
actress to come to this country. She has
agreed to play in "The Lady from the

A spirit of optimism matching that
of Judge Ebert II. Gary was radiated
by Mr.. Samuel Mather a director in
the United States Steel Corporation, on
his return on the France. Mr.. Mather,
who is Cleveland man. and close
student of midwest Industrial condi-
tions, said:
Judge Gary is right There Is good
ground for optimism. Good business
conditions throughout the country will
not be restored with a rush, but things
are looking up.
There is no better indication Of the
reviving Of industry than the recent
freighters for the Great Lakes. for
traffic on the Great Lakes Is a baro-
meter of the nations business. These
boats carry coal and oil and general
merchandise. BY the time the four are
completed business will have reached

Also on board the France were two
other American business men, Mr.. Alva
Bradley, director of the c. & B. Nav

between Buffalo and Cleveland. and
director In the Nickel Plate Railroad.
Both said the United States must take
part in administrative parleys and
make use of firm hand in cases
where 1t was needed. IL Europe Is to be
