To ELECTR|FY HER
PUMP ING STATION
Dynamos to Replace Steam
PoWer--Light and Power
Rate Will Likely Be
Reduced
TENNESSEE VALLEY BUREAU !
THE AGE-HERALD
Florence, Ala, Feb. 20 |

The city commission Of Florer -
has placed orders for several thou
sand dollars worth of electrical
equipment to be placed at the pump
ing station to replace the present sys-
tenn of pumping water by steam. The
equipment consists CT dynamos and
pumps.
After thorough investigation it
was discovered that the installat ion
of electrical machinery would result
in a saving of fuel of more than s12,-
900 per annum. A contract has been
closed with the Sheffield company to
furnish current for the new machin-
cry t rate that is based on a slid
ing scale which will provide for
pumping al cents per thousand gal
lCns, whereas the present cost is
about cents.
In connection with the low rate to
the city it was announced by the
Sheffield company that plans are now
on foot whereby the rate for lights
and power to all consumers in Flor
ence will be reduced within the near
future. This announcement is well
coined as the power and light rate
here is considered excessive as cCm-
pared with other cities of similar size
throughout the state.
TAXABLE VALUES DECREASE
In 1922 the taxable value of land
and property in Bauderdale county
was s12,S91,591 as compared with
s15,179,073 in 1921 and s15,043,154 in
1920, according to the records in the
office of the tax collector. The de-
crease was explained as being due to
decrease in inflated value of property
here during the war, and real estate
is considered a better investment here
now thGn ever before.

Etiquette at the Dance
By HAROLD l.. HURSH
 In the F1apper.

One of the things that the danc- Ing masters have failed to instruct students in Is the proper etiquette to use on the dance floor. Therefore, we have, at great expense and very little work, consulted some of the greatest authorities on etiquette, and they have handed us the following dope:
 To flappers: If your partner says during the dance, T could die do- ing this do not say, especially If he has been walking all over your feet T do not think Ill die, but 1 be- lieve I'll be crippled for life"
 If your partner insists on trodding on your new satin pumps, do not bawl him out about 1t. Jdst say, My, what a wonderful toe dancer you are, MT. Whooisn
 If your partner is out of step dur ing the entire dance, do not ask him if he took lessons from some cor respondence school. That's not prop CT. Maybe he's deaf and can't hear the music.
 If your partner insists on racing you around the floor to double time during the .entire dance, do not ask him If he thinks you're a marathon runner. Just say, Let's take our time; we'll get there before the fire is out.'
 To flippers; If your partner fails to follow you it is proper etiquette to kick her on the right shin when you wish to turn to the right, and to kick her on the left shin when you wish to turn to the left. When you wish to make complete turn, kick her on both shins simultane ously.
 Should your fair lady partner be wearing a hat with a long feather or aigrette that constantly tickles you in the eye or ear, it is not proper etiquette to stop in the middle of the dance floor and pull her hat off and throw 1t over on one of the chairs. My, oh, nay, no. The prop CT etiquette to use in a case like this is not to let her know that the feather or whatnot tickles you. Say not word, but just draw a pair of scissors from your pocket (you should carry a pair for this pur- pose) and snip off the feather or whatnot one inch above it's root.
 It is also proper etiquette to hum in your partners ear as you dance, especially if you're a good nasal tenor. The girls all enjoy this. es- pecially if your singing is better than your dancing.
 Should you ask a girl from Bos- ton to dance with you, and should she say, "Oh. you'll have to excuse me; I'm dawnced out" Do not re- ply. "oh. T do not think you're so darn stout"
