Added Outlets Aid p
Winter Heating

With Winter rapidly approaching
and fuel at premium the Fates have
combined to emphasize the Importance
of the electric wiring in the nine mill
lion homes of the country, which en-
JOY the convenience of electric service.
Whole states will experience difficult
ty in securing adequate coallfor house
heating, and it will be imperative for
the more favored communities to con-
serve their coal supplies I'd the ut
most. No coal should be vastefully
consumed. There will be q crying
need for every pound of fuel which
can be collected from the Atlantic to
the Pacific and from Canada to Mex
leo. Frugality in coal burning will
be imposed upon all.
Heat energy will be at premium
and one excellent way of making most
effective use of the limited supply is
to employ hte electric fan, used in
the summer to temper the surplus
heat, for distributing and circulating
the warmed air from radiators and
heaters. A substantial saving in coal
consumed will result if this is done.
Then, the judicious use of electric
heaters will add greatly to the COM
fort of the home atmosphere. Judi
cious is emphasized, fol-. though every
effort will be expended to keep the
light and power companies running
full blast, these public utilities will
also have to husband their coal re-
serves.
This all means that the provisions
for the use of electricity in the home
should be promptly increased. The
outlets used in summer for electric
fans will be similarly utilized in the
winter. Accommodations for electric
heaters should be provided, for light
sockets, possibly available in summer
for other uses, will be required for
their true function during the shorter
days of winter. Additional convent
ence outlets are needed for the cleo
trio heaters and for greater utiliza-
ton of electrical conveniences, invar-
iably desired, no matter how careful
ly the home may have been wired or
iginally.

Tractor Gives
Elephants Free Time

that from now on they'll have more
time for munching hay, begging pea
nuts and contemplating the infinite

the calm of elephant row be disturbed

moved about. Electricity has done it,
Circuses are now using storage-bat-
terry tractors for handling cages OF
lions, ~tigers, leopards, and bears. The
elephants and tent-men are not the
least bit sorry, for pulling such cages
around on the soft earth under the
"big-top" is a husky job for a good
sized elephant or sixteen extra able
bodied men.
This is how it came about. When
the Ringing Brothers-B arnum & Bal
ley circus was showing in Newark. n
j., a little while ago a persevering
tractor salesman asked the general
manager to let him demonstrate what
an electric tractor would do The cir
Gus master mechanic was called in and
for the purposes of the test supplied
a cage holding twelve polar bears
whose combined weight was over four
tons. The tractor was hitched to the
cage and started for the center ring
where the bears were TO go through
their act. The trip was done SO
quickly and easily that before ''the-
biggest-show-o n-earth" had reached
its next week stand an order for a
tractor had been given. Now the 9TH
er circuses are asking how soon they
can get tractors for this job.
