vanced with the invention of new

Zone of the factors that dis

from those Of the past lies in the
fact that people today are not DC

he has learned how to transmit cleo

Power Of Future.
DR.. Steinmetz limited again at his
belief that, in some not far distant
future period. power for the worlds
needs will be obtained from some
giant form Of radio waves. In this
realm of speculation he had al
most ceased to engage in mere
questioning and had practically in
clined towards positive prophecy.
He suggested that the world will
get it's future driving power from
great power sheets, betting the globe
on waves that will be measured IN
millions of kilowatts, and that will
be sent forth from one tremendous
central power station. He pointed
out, however. that before such
colossal situation could ever be at.
tanned, science must first discover
the super-electro-m magnetic wave that
will make such power transmission
possible.

LEAGUE LIGHTS
COMMUNITY
TREE
Electric Organization Has Full
Charge Of Work on Civic
Celebration.

Taking it's place among other
civic organizations of the city, the
Electric League of Washington has
arranged the important details OIL
lighting the community Christmas
tree of the President which is ma.
tional in interest.
A committee of the Electric
League, headed by T. L. Townsend,
chairman, and G. B. Colbeck, vice
chairman, has secured nearly 5000
lights to go on the tree. These
lights will be coloredy and placed
by the most competent electrical
workers available in the city. BY
coincidence, the construction or the
tree lighting will be supervised by
the electrical engineers, members OF
the Electric League, who directed
the famous illumination Of Pennsyl-
vania avenue during the Shrine con-
vention.
In addition to the illumination OF
the tree, the Electric League also
arranged for the transportation OF
the tree from the station to the
point at which it is erected. This
transportation was done electrically
on a Decentralization truck oper-
ated by the Potomac Electric Power
Company, under direction Of Fl. A.
Brooks and c. M. Marsh, members
of the Electric League.
The Electric League also erected
the tree after the same manner OF
pole line construction, pole being
driven into the ground with a-few
feet above surface, to which the
tree was securely dashed.

FIRST TELEPHONE IN N. Y.
ONLY as YEARS AGO

Forty-five years ago there was
not single telephone in New York
City-the telephone capital Of the
world-whose record today is the
installation of four hundred tele-
phones a day.
Worse than that, there was not
much faith in the fragile scientific
toy which Alexander Graham Bell
had placed on demonstration in Bcs-
ton-except for the unbounded, in
spring faith of Charles A. Cheever,
the founder of New York's first tele-
phone company.

New Type Apartment
Is Offering Many
COnveniences

NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-Com-
bining the independence of
housekeeping with the best fea-
lures of hotel life, a new type
of apartment house is about
to be opened in this city. 1t
will contain 313 apartments,
arranged in suites of two, three
and four rooms. Yet, if de-
sired, tenants can live exactly
as if in a hotel, their house
keeping being done by the
house staff, and their meals
being obtained in a commodi-
Gus public dining room.
Housekeepers who wish the
happy medium of housekeeping
during part of the day and
having the homework done for
them the rest of the day can
make arrangements to this ef-
feet. Members of the house
staff will do these duties,
cooking, housekeeping, mind
ing children or washing floors.
The entire building is sup
piled with electrical service and
facilities, which makes possible
housekeeping by tenants at lit
tie trouble and the hotel serv-
ice which is one of the fea-
lures. Each of the apartments
has an electric refrigerator and
an electric range, while in the
basement is a modern laundry
for families which do their own
washing.

RAINBOW ROUTE
IMPROVE MENTS

Rotarians listened with interest on
Monday to talk on the Rainbow
Route from H. T. Reno, resident high
way engineer, who for two years
made headquarters at Sapinero. Mr..
Reno is not only engineer for state
roads In this county, but looks after
Hinsdale and parts Of Delta and Mont
rose.
Mr.. Reno told of the prospects for
the 10000 project west from Sapi-
nero, including the Lake Fork
bridge, which will make scenic high
point on the auto trip west. This
bridge is to be 1875 feet above the riv-
er, and the central span is $50 feet
long. The view up and down the Lake
Fork canon will be magnificent.
In company with G. II. Wise Of Sap
linefo, he rnnde d trip over the Blue

snow shoes. From Sapinero west, the
snow is two feet deep, but unusually
soft and should break quickly under
the April skies. At Windy point there
are some drifts, but the snow fences
built last fall have helped q good deal
and this portion of the trail is in better
condition than hoped for. Road Su-

This last II per cent, or $685., O93. %,
to be exact, takes in the items that
the Code bills endeavored to reach. Al
the out set one may see that we are
trying to cut out our taxes ut the
point where they are the smallest part
of the cost of state government.
Under this head of costs for admins
tration, we have four divisions:
/. The State Executive Depart
ments, which, of course, include the
Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney
General, ETC., cost approximately
S270,O00 per year.
2. The Legislation, which costs APP
proximately 5000, 900 every two years
because under the laws of Colorado
the legislature meets but once in
every two years.)
3. Our Judicial Department costs
approximately $173,50O per year.
4. The various other departments,
such as Bank Commissioner, State
Land Board, Stock Inspection Board,
Industrial Relation Commission, Civil
Service Commission, Tax Commission,
Utilities Commission, ETC., takes up
the balance of the IA per cent.
In considering this, let US remem-
Der that from the Banking Commits
sion the state derives over $4,000 q
year; from the Secretary Of States Of

per year; the Insurance Department
