DAYLIGHT INITIATED
BY ELECTRIC LAMPS

Having been fairly used to day
hight, as it has been in general use
q little over ten million years, as
far as scientists can figure out,
these scientists have decided that
II is probably the best light for
the human eye after all. and are
all agreed that though it's quality
cannot be improved upon, it's effect
can be made more gentle by proper
shading.
They have made artificial light to
shine as night, as much like day
light as possible. It's direction and
shading is the important question,
and it is this more than any other
attributes that converts electric light
into the many different brands used
In streets, i'm industrial and, home
lighting, and in public buildings.

TEST |NONY
Former U. s. Employs Says
He Did Not Verify Pay
ment Vouchers.

The outstanding feature today at
the Morse conspiracy trial in Grim.
inal Court was the statement of
Henry George Barstars, former Dis
trict auditor for the Shipping Board
Emergency Fleet Corporation, that
he did not audit or verify any
vouchers for payments on account
of contracts submitted to him by
the Virginia Shipbuilding Corpora
ton. He declared he signed them
on certification of Rupert Much,
vice treasurer of the concern.
Mr.. Barstars, testifying for the
Government, qualified this state
ment bv saying that he did not
audit or verify the vouchers be-
cause he was at the time In the
midst of reorganizing the Baltimore
offices of the Emergency Fleet Cor
poration and that he bad no one to
go to Alexandria to make an audit.
The voucher in question was dated
February 18. 1918. and bore the
initials "R," indicating that the
money to be paid on account of it
was to be entered under Impressed
funds" meaning that they were
payable out of ship construction
funds.
Being asked by Attorney Rock
wood what his duties We're in con-
nection with his office at Baltimore.

care of the cash disbursements on
various ship contracts between the

MUSIC GOOD. MEDICINE
AND HOSPITAL USES IT

NEW YORK, June S.--A sixty
day test with monograph in the
wards of the New York Nursery
and Child's Hospital showed that
the waltz is good medicine and
soothing. Well-chosen music will
now form part of the treatment
Of patients in that institution.
"The test was tried" explained
Or. Harold C. Cox, resident physis
clan, mainly with the mothers in
the maternity wards, but also with
the babies and sick children.
Whether it was the appeal of
Fhythm. we do not know, but the
tests have amply demonstrated that
music has a marked therapeutic
effect on the spirits and general
morale of hospital patients. Incl
dentally, the music is highly popular
with the nurses"

TEA ROOM USED
FOR ELECTRIC
SALES
Southern Woman Develops
New Idea to Explain Value
Of Appliances.

There is a woman in the South
who has conceived the novel idea
of a shop where the sale OF teas,
dainties, candies and other sweets
shall be the stage setting" as 1t
were, for the selling of electrical
appliances.
The proprietor had long felt that
food cooked electrically and electric
appliances we're, in more senses
than one, kindred merchandise and
could not only be displayed to ad
vantage cheek by jowl,' but could
logically be sold under the same
roof.
II could not see" she said, why,
after woman had eaten a dainty
luncheon. which she knew was
cooked electrically she would not
be interested in those articles which
had made the luncheon possible.
In a word, she would be much
more receptive" toward an cleo
Uric grill, toaster, and so on,
after she had partaken of food COOK.
cd on said grill and toaster.
So / arranged my shop attractive
ly, with ferns, cretonnes and easy
chairs and took care to display
the larger, as well as the smaller
appliances in this waiting ro0nl.
Having eaten, a woman natural
ly wants to rest few moments; that
is the time when it is practicable
to get in a demonstration OF an
electric appliance and her interest
can then be enlisted to the point
where it develops into a sale.
Not only has this store created
quite a sensation in its native
town, but it is significant that one
of the fair sex has undertaken this
combination line, believing that q
woman who herself knows and sue.
cessfully uses things electrical
ought to be best able to prove their
worth to other women.
This will undoubtedly be the be,
ginning of women adventuring into
a new, profitable and heretofore
untried field.

ELECTRIC VENTlLATORS
HUNG OVER WINDOWS

Electric suction fans az ventilators
hung on painted white panels are
for sale in electric shops. They
have hooks at the back of the
panels so that they can be hung
over the window casing and when
set in motion from the current are
capable of handling a volume OF
air Of about 1900 cubic feet. They
are opearted through a speed motor
with a threespeed control attach
ment.
These ventilators are but ten
inches in diameter, but may be
bought on panels of different sizes.

interest in Electricity.

A survey of activity in the pro-
motion of electrical home demon
strations shows that during 1892 a
TOTAL OF sixty such homes were ex.
hlbited In as many cities, with an
attendance ranging from $500 to
o''ooo persons per ecah home dem
onstrated' or an average of 10000
persons. This undeniably proves
the interest taken by the ordinary
human in electrical equipment of

TOO HOT, IRON SHUTS
OFF ITS OWN CURRENT

There is an iron which automatl-
cally cuts off the current when the
highest temperature safe for iron
ing is reached. just under the
handle of the iron at the front,
convenient to the thumb of the
ironing hand, there is a switch
slight push Of which will restore
the current.
Another iron seen in the shops
had a double.deck stand whose
lower floor never becomes over
heated; thus it can be moved about
on the ironing board without fear
Of blistered fingers.
