WINDOW HEATER
|NTERESTSN, Y,
CROWD
Warmth Is Felt Through Plate
Glass by Throng Passing
on Sidewalks.

Recently during a cold spell in
New York City it was noticed that
upon reaching a certain show win
dow each passer-by halted, looked,
stepped closer and ended in first
putting his hands on the plate
glass window and then standing
stock still with a grin on his face,
the chill wind completely forgotten.
Inside the window was the larg-
est electric radiant heater ever
made, diffusing heat rays through
the glass and warming the on-look-
ers just as might the sun itself had
it been shining.
One of the crowd, more curious
than the rest. put a question to the
man at his right, and, he, happen
ing to be an engineer, was able
to reply intelligently. THE heater"
he explained, lis generating radiant
heat which will pass through air
without heating it, but will heat
any object it strikes. 1t is thus
able to produce a warm spot out

gale blowing at the rate of forty
miles and hour"
Another curious feature of this
heater was that the window pane
was warm only where it was di-
rectly in the rays Of the heat and
cold where the rays did not strike
1t. The radiant heat passed
through the transparent window
glass as do the suns rays.

Chinese Mystified By
Movies Meant
To Entertain

American made moving pic
lures are more puzzling and
confusing to average Chinese
audiences than their famous
"shirt and collar" tickets are
to Americans. declared Trade
Commissioner Hoyt in a re-
port to the Department Of
Commerce today.
The unfamiliarity of the
average Chinese to conditions
elsewhere in the world, and the
wide divergence between ORR
entail and Occidental methods
of social and business inter-
course, make foreign movies a
puzzle to him, instead Of an
amusement.
,I'ranslators of these movies,
when able to grasp the plot Of
foreign movies themselves, are
often unable to convey their
meaning to their audiences.
Until pictures distinctly ORR
entail in every phase are pro-
duced, the great masses will
never take to movies as a
form of entertainment.

PROGRESS SEEN
IN ELECTRIC
LIGHTS
Composer Contrasts Modern
Illumination With That of
TaIIoW Candle.

It is noteworthy that the great
Haydn wrought the flickering light
of candles into his famous Fare
we'll Symphony" to depict the lack
of progress in various communities.
This opus was recently performed
by symphony orchestra in New
York.
After playing a. lively overture by
Mozart the curtains descended, the
electric lights went out, and the
audience sat in darkness until the
curtain rose to disclose the orches-
ira prepared to play by the light
OF many candles. In this dim, flick
ering light the first three move
ments were rendered as usual.
Then, in the last movement the
tempo slackened and to a reiter-
ated theme, musician after musician
ext1nguished his candle, got up and
went out, until only the conductor
and two or three violinists were
left for the last, drawn-out strains.
After a short period of complete
darkness the usual electric lights
brought the audience back to mod
ern, happy days of activity and
lifted them out of their dreams.
Electricity and inertia cannot be
mated because every person knows
that electricity has not only made
communities but has been the chief
torch along the Road of Progress.
Electric illumination has replaced
candles and other antiquated forms
Of lighting; it has dispelled dark
ness and often ignorance, and has
already proved itself indisputably
one of the greatest blessings Of
modern life.

FOR AIR
CONTEST AIDED
BY Nc Z
Assembling of Transatlantic
Flyer Increases Interest
in Competition.

The assembling Of the NC 2, the
first heavier-than-air machine to
cross the Atlantic, at the base Of
the Washington Monument, has
served to arouse added interest in
the air slogan contest conducted by
The Washington Times and The
Washington Herald, and the Aero.
marine Always.
The Aeromarine Always Com
pany is bringing fleet of eleven
passenger inclosed-cabin type sea-
planes to Washington the week Of
the convention, and will give COM
mercial flights and air tours. 1t is
the largest commercial air company
in the world, and is operating air
boats between Cuba and Florida,
Cleveland and Detroit, and Atlantic
City and New York. AS the pion-
GERS in the development of Amer
ica's commercial aviation, the Aero
marine Always Company is inter
ested in finding a slogan that will
briefly but graphically point out
Americas rightful position in the
air.
The United States has been woe
fully slack in the development OF
the Wright Brothers invention.
Although Americans were the first
to prove that heavier than air ma
chimes could sustain themselves In
the air, it remained for Europeans
to develop the principles Of flying,
and to build up large commercial
air companies. Many Europea n
governments have appropriated
enormous funds for the develop
ment of air crafts for combat pur-
poses. -,
If there is another war, 1t Will
be fought in the air, and the Eu-
ropean governments, as regards air
crafts, are many years in advance
of the United States. Tomorrow 8
mode of transportation will be In
the air. and much has to be done
in this country before we can hope
to compete with other countries in
air commerce.
Major Smith, general manager,
Aeromarine Company, believes that
Americas air slogan should come
from the National Capital, and
through the Washington Times ana
Washington Herald, his company
has arranged to give ten flights to
Mt. Vernon, Arlington, and return
for the ten best slogans submitted.
The best slogan will be adopted by
the Aeromarine Always, and other
commercial companies will be urged
to adopt it also. The Department
of Commerce is giving its 'un-
official" cooperation to the Aero
marine Anyways and other CONNER
cial air companies. Lack of appro-
priation makes it impossible for the
Department of Commerce and the
various inter-departments to make
any official experiments in the de-
velopment of air crafts.
Slogans should be addressed to
Aeromarine Editor, and must be in
his hands before Friday, June l..
Contestants may submit as many
answers as they please, and no
limit has been set on the number
OF words in each slogan, although
breVty is desired.

Household Wiring Plans.

Making your household levels fl
you instead of trying to fit your
self to your household levels is
what every good electragist urges
when he is working on a plan to
wire your home adequately Con-
venience outlets placed where they
are most practicable to attach cleo
trical appliances, light button
panels near each door and chain
switches at easy reaching distance
overhead are some of the things
advocated.
