ELECTRIC LIGHT
ON REFLECT|NG
POOLS
Beauty of Monument and Lin
coin Memorial to Be
Greatly Enhanced.

The smaller of the two basins in
the Washington Monument reflect
ing pools is to have an electrical
water display which, when com
pleted, bids fair to be one of the
most artistic of it's kind in the en-
tire world. Not only will a foun'
tain proper be installed in the
smaller pool but it is stated that
plans are under way which will
make it possible to flood the ice
that forms on Mirror Pool, the
rendezvous of skaters during the
Washington winter. It seems the
ice does not always freeze smoothly,
and it is thought that flooding 1t
will correct this difficulty.
A fountain will be placed at each
end Of the smaller pool and various
colored electric lights will be used
in their illumination. Though the
plans are not yet completed. the
work is being pushed to the utmost
so that demonstration of rhe
fountain may be given before the
water is turned off for the cold
season.
If this electric lighting proves as
successful and as beautiful as is
anticipated, no doubt the Shadow
Pool in front Of the Lincoln Memo
rial will be similarly illumined.

ICE SUPPLY CERTAIN BY
ELECTRIC REFRIGERATOR

What convinced me of the value
of an electric refrigerator, one
young matron was heard to remark.
was the discovery that I could CAD
about and visit the various mem
bers of my large family for days
on end and not have to worry about
food spoilage in the ice box because
the ice had melted.
Best Of all, I did not have to
trouble my next door neighbor with
the key to my kitchen so the ice
man could be let in to keep the
refrigerator replenished."
These are only two Of the many
assets that make the electric re
frigerator a unique possession and
well worth it's weight in gold tc
a medium sized family. where

food because of spoilage during
the hot summer days, on the very

American Company Buying
Many for Use in Cities All
Along Its Routes.

Almost daily. one might say, the
American Railway Express is de-
noting it's approval of the electric
truck by placing an order for this
type of transport, first in one city
and then in another. Now Okla
homa City has acquired, it seems.
twenty-seven brand new electric
trucks to solve the transportation
difficulties Of that city.
1t is worth noting that the metro
politan district of New York City,
covered by the American Express,
already boasts 564 electric trucks,
and the outlying country, approx
mately 1,400. This looks to us like
some record!
After careful computation it has
been estimated that the cost of
operating the electric truck is about
one-half that of the gas truck. The
former is apparently in the field
to stay. Drivers back the electric
trucks enthusiastically because Of
the ease Of handling and the few
repairs necessary.

Sinclair Calls Red
Russia Best Off
In Europe

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-Harry
F. Sinclair, president of the Sim
clair Consolidated Oil Corpora
ton, who just returned from
Europe, praised the work be-
ing done by the Russian Soviet
government.
"They have not solved all
their problems by any MEANS"
Sinclair declared. "But they
certainly are on the way toward
a satisfactory solution and it
cannot be doubted that they are
one of the most stable govern
ments in Europe"
Sinclair, while in Europe,
travelled extensively in Russia
and took especial note of the
vast oil resources Of that ma
ton. He also made trip into
Siberia, to the island of Sagha-
lin, for the northern half of
which he has obtained the oil
rights from the Soviet govern
ment.
"The old story that the. Rus
sian people will not work was
dispelled for me-" Sinclair said.

PROPER WIRING

DWELLINGS
Small Chance of Fire From
Use of Electricity in Homes
Is Now Possible.

In the early days Of electricity.
when even it's uses were an "uri'
known quantity" a hue and cry
was raised about the many dam
gers connected with its Harvesting
for domestic and commercial pur.
poses. AS a matter Of actual fact,
nothing is further from the real
truth than depunciations of such
nature, for electricity is by far the
safest known force Of energy for
the distribution of heat, light and
power.
Before the advent Of electricity
we had, to all intents and purposes.
to depend upon a burning fire for
supplying our light and power. No
equipment that can be called fool
proof has yet been found for the
production Of light that is evolved
from any form Of blaze or of
power that depends upon a steam
engine.
Electricity, on the other hand.
produces a flameless light. No fire
can result from this form Of lighting.
The wires that carry the electric
ity are so tiny they can be covered

When you read that fires are Of
electrical origin" you may be posi-
tive that, like the farmer who saw
his first giraffe at the circus and
exclaimed, There amt no sech
animal" rarely is a fire Of such
inception. 1t is caused either by
downright carelessness or by indif.
ferent, inefficient wiring.
The importance of having a first
class wiring job can thus readily be
understood. If skilled labor and
high grade materials are employed
in the wiring of your home, you
will not have to worry about your
electrical service.
In the kitchen, where cooking by
fuel often results disa strously, the
same cannot be said when the cook.

hold where there are youngsters

Emphasis should also be laid
upon the Importance of the use Of
switches throughout the home

An outbreak of hostilities in

of General Lu Yung Hsiang, a
wealthy and powerful Chekians war
lord, appeared to be imminent. The
local Chinese chamber Of commerce

hope that the clash may be avertei.
Lu is a new figure in Chinese
civil friction. who in the past has
attended strictly to his duties as
defense commissioner of Shanghai
and governor of Chekiang. He
seems destined to become an out
standing parsonage in Chlna's tan
gled affairs. He is a member of
the trio of war lords whose domains
form a great triangle with Chang
Tso Chang, powerful Manchurian
ruler on the north and Sun Vat Sen
on the south.
There have been rumors of the
gathering of Chilli forces prepare

The Chinese business meeting in

war will be averted.

Time was when every reputable

The chief advantage Of these OBJ
