ing Generally.

here next week under the auspices
of the Washington Advertising Club,
was termed the biggest event ever
staged here toward creating a better
understanding between the adver-
tisers and tho public, at luncheon
meeting held in the City Club yesterday
afternoon. Joseph D. Kaufman said
that every merchant of Washington
is indebted to the club for this un-
dertaking.
Frank II. Kimme1. chairman of the
committee having Better Advertising
week in charge, said that the COM
mittee had worked hard and dill
gently to put it over, but deplored
what he termed the lack of interest
on the part of merchants. He said
that the newspapers had given more
the merchants. Every advertiser
should be interested in public opinion
on his advertisements.

The meeting yesterday was staged by
Morris Kafka and his team, and was
one of the largest attended meetings
of the club in months. Music was
furnished by Macias' L'Aiglon Cafe

radio meeting, and several radio
prizes were awarded, and represen-
tatives of the radio broadcasting
stations were present. William

FAVORSU. S. SALE
Of WATER POWER
Norris Wants Federal De-
, veIopment at Shoals and
Boulder Dam.

Chairman Norris of the Senate
agriculture committee. which will de-
eide next Tuesday whether TO hold
public hearings on the Ford Muscle
Shoals bid, hopes TO make Muscle
Shoals n vehicle for the declaration
of a general policy on the part of the
federal government in water power de-
Velopment.
Favors United States Operation.
Both the Boulder canyon dam
project on the Colorado river and the
Muscle Shoals problem, in the opinion
of Chairman Norris, require the
adoption OF a policy of federal owner
ship and operation.
There are several controlling
factors presented in the two projects
which, in my opinion, require the
federal government not only to COM
plete both. but to operate them" said
Senator Norris today. We should
not turn over either to private ex-
ploitation. Muscle Shoals is neces-
Sarily national enterprise because
of its relations to our wartime activi-
ties. and Boulder dam is, in my
opinion, of such vast importance to
the protection of Imperial valley,
Calf, and the development of the
lar southwest, as to make it neceS-
Sary for the federal government to
construct the dam and control the irri-
cation resources ii will develop, as
we'll as the electric power.
Wants Power for Public.
AT both Muscle Shoals and Boulder
Dam, | would have the government
committed to the sale of the electric
power to municipalities and public
utility corporations. We already have
assurances that all the power we can
develop at Boulder Dam would be
contracted for in advance by Los
Angeles and nearby cities and towns,
while in my opinion there would be
no difficulty in finding such a mark t
Tor surplus electric power developed
at Muscle Shoals
Senator Norris said he was op-
posed to the recommendations of the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States recently submitted to him,
urging the development of govern

Inasmuch as the Senate bill does

is consistent with Japans treaty
rights, Matsui informed newspaper

the fact she cannot look to the United
States to assist in solution of the
overpopulation problem, and regards
the labor immigration question as a
closed issue. Primary interests, he
asserted, now centers in efforts to in

Cheap and Sanitary Device

Modern methods of sanitation, re.

perfect method Of collecting garb.
age fresh and hurrying it away
in sanitary vehicles will never be

the spot. in the home, wherever it
is created, will all Sanger and
trouble be averted.
A device, which does this very
thing, simply, thoroughly and eco
nomically. has been invented by a
New York man. It is in the form
Of a garbage crematory. which can
be conveniently installed in either
new or old buildings, residences,
apartments, hospitals, hotels, ETC.,
at the place where waste originates,
and which destroys by incineras

table, before it has a chance to
menace the health of the house.

A householder whose residence lie
equipped with this incinerator is

The machine generates about
1900 degrees, Of heat. but is SO
constructed, being lined with as
bestos with an air space between
the, outer and inner walls, thereby
giving a constant circulation of air,
that the radiation is reduced to a
minimum.
The cost of operation is very
slight, cents worth Of gas being
sufficient to destroy a busheI of
garbage, which requires from three
quarters Of an hour to one hour TO
burn, depending upon its nature.
The residue is only very small
quantity of sterile ash. which may
be dumped back In the hopper door
on top of the following days ac-
cumulations, and burned over and
over for several weeks, thereby
saving the trouble of taking the
ash out of the house each time
