LAUDs TREAsURY's SPEED
IN PROVIDING FOR VETS

In a statement issued last night
by Frank J. Irwin, national re.
Mobilization chairman of the Dis
abled American Veterans, speed
and economy in the. work of. the
Treasury Department in providing
beds for MANNED former service
men was highly praised. He said
in part:
THE results of the Treasury De-
partment through the office of Col.
Edward Clifford, assistant secre-
tary. in constructing approximately
$500 beds olf@ of an appropriation
of SIS, 100000 in a period of two
years will probably cause the Vet
Grams Bureau to speed up its work
to complete this permanent hospital
building program for which it has
received a total appropriation of
$22, 7S1 900.
1.-THE criticism leVeled at the
Treasury Department is mostly un-
founded. 1t built these hospitals in
record time, using principally the
purchase and hire system. phe
supervising architect of the Treas
ury Department under this plan
sends a practical, experienced
building contractor to the proposed
location of hospital and he then
purchases his supplies and material
and hires the labor to construct
There is no long wait for speci
fications, or for letting contracts.
This whole construction program
of hospitals. was considered as an
emergency; speed was the watch,

ELECTRIC STOVE
HELD SAFEST
of ALL Z:
- $500. ~ bb@@
Housewives Rapidly Becoming
Educated to Use and Sim
pIicity of Ranges.

One of the first recommendations
of an electric range. is its absolute
safety. There is some danger at
tached to other methods of cook
ing. not only to the food being
cooked but to the one who is,
cooking it.
This danger arises from careless
ness; but how many cooks are not
careless? 80: -
The danger Of carelessness in a.
housewife, who has many duties be-.
sides those in her kitchen; is more
evident than in "a cook who. has
only one line of duty in the
house to perform. Such a dis
tracted housewife, with little chill
dren to mind, will find an electric
range the greatest of aids in her
daily life; for with such a. serv-
ant she may give, the maximum of
her attention to her children and
her other duties which are her
pleasures. =. - 81
Every housewife who, likes to.
cook, no doubt dreams of an cleo.
trical kitchen in which this almost
human servant-an electric range
lis the center. Her vision is of
one of the standard makes, with Ia
row of snap switches along the
front. a thermostat. time and heat
gauge along the side and a glass
doored oven through which cooking
food may be clearly. seen, at every
stage of it's process. When she
wishes to bake or roast something
it is a simple matter, requiring
very few steps, to prepare it in
the proper utensil, place it in the
stove, set 1.-The thermostat for the
minute it is to automatically turn
the heat on or off and snap on the
unit or units required to do the
cooking.
There is no fire to constantly
watch, no coal or wood to fetch in,
no. ashes and Goals to carry OUT;
no dust, no fumes, no oyerheated,
kitchen, no scorching of food from
ill regulated. or practically uncon-
trolled heat. There is absolutely
no danger of the heat stopping sud
denly, no danger of explosion. The
| heating units are SO perfectly pro.
tected that there could be no shock
or. burn to one accidentally falling
against the$ stove. AS an example
| of perfect safety in cooking. the
electric range stands in the lead.
| 1t is small wonder that house,
wives are so rapidly becoming edu-
Gated to the use and simplicity of

and complicated mass of cooking
rules to use on an electric. stove
has almost vanished. from our.
midst. These opinions of the dark
ages, like those of the farmer who
once believed that the automobile
would never have part in revolu.
tionizing business and farm life,
have been only the. forerunner of
Ia change of mind; that promises to
revolutionize that most, important

But unless we have parties which

that the country Is actually taking

But later, Mr.. Charles Nagel. who
was in Tafts Cabinet. told the real
truth He asserted that there is no
immediate prospect OF new party,
mainly because no new issue. so far,
commands national support
This Is really the word with the

support. and IN view Of the fact that
the old issues between the major
parties have dwindled down to Tweed
