Folks who like genuine comedy
with an underlying vein of real
drama will enjoy William de Miles
"Lost-a Wife" at Dudley's today

They will like its smooth, fast
movement. They will be intrigued
by its interesting situations, its hui
man characterizations and above all,
by it's rich humor.
For a fundamental theme it has
what is always regarded as the
most sure-fire foundation for a play
or motion picture, "Love will over

In this case the obstacles begin

TO THE PUBLIC
of our COMMUNITY

Since have been the victim of no
torious publicity, 1 wish to state the
truth.
Sheriff Vanaken, accompanied by
the undersheriff and another man,
who, he said. was federal officer,
came to the home OF my sister where
she and I were residing alone, and
began searching the house. Mr. Van.
aiken and the sheriff were rough in
manner and sarcastic in speech.
They broke some Of our good dishes
and even refused to allow my sister
to communicate over the phone to a
friend after they found nothing for
which they searched Mrs. Gully.
Finally, Mr.. Vanaken picked
the lock Of my trunk which he had no
warrant to search, and found there
A copper coil which I had found in
the vacant house on the Butts place.
On my way home I had met Mr.. Keno
who offered me $500 for IT. l told
him he could have 1t when he paid
me the $500. l placed 1t in my trunk
and when Mr. Vanaken took II out he
remarked OF It's dilapidated condition
for it was broken in two pieces.

Keno had given me over a year ago

it comes from the ovens and is dis
charged onto a steel car which
takes it to the quenching station, 1t
is flaming mass.
It takes approximately one ton
of water for every ton of coke to
quench it properly. With the large
volume of yard traffic which must
be handled daily, the pressing need
for a locomotive at the Langsdale
Ave. plant was met toward the lat
ter part Of the year, when a large
engine of approved switching type
was purchased.
An interesting Improvement at the
Langsdale Ave. plant is the Cottrell
electrical tar precipitator, which by
means of electricity extracts the tar
from the gas.
Coke Handling System
Among the important construction
work which will be completed early
next year will be the new foundry
coke handling system at the Prospect
st. plant, which will be Of type
similar to that already in operation

at the other plant. Early spring win
see the major portion Of the new
plant for the production OF sulphate
of ammonia nearing completion. The
product of this plant. sulphate Of
ammonia, a material looking some
thing like sugar, has won recognition
in agriculture as one Of the most
efficient carriers of nitrogen, a
necessary plant food. And the re-
mainder Of the plant, which will cost
altogether around $4,000, will be
finished by July.
Coke ovens operate continuously
during the twenty-four hours of the
day, and there must always be a
constant supply Of coal available for
the recharging Of ovens. No risk OF
breakdown can be taken, and so chat
the gas supply. of the city may be
more fully guarded, there will be
constructed at the Prospect st. plant
about the middle of the year a new
coke handling system, an improve
ment which alone will cost approx
mately S350,000.

improvement program contemplates
the installation of additional ap-
paratus in the water gas plant,
which will cost approximately
$4,000. 1t is quite essential that all
equipment in this department be
kept in as efficient condition as
possible. for while 1t is not regularly
used it stands as safeguard to
the city's gas supply, and is even
ready to take up the burden of
supplying the city with gas in case
there should be any interruption in
the supply Of coke oven gas, or to
assume the peak of the load during
severe winter weather.
A great many other betterments
win be made in the plants, including
the construction Of additional yard
tracks. In the distribution depart
ment there also will be considerable
activity in the way of construction
of additional feeder gas mains of
larger size, which win be part Of a
system of large mains which will
eventually girdle the city. =.

 Something new in broadcasting will be offered from WTlC, Hartford. next Tuesday evening, Laurence r. southwick, who has been guest or- ganist at the station for some weeks, will play as his final number on that evening an Improvisation on tho or ignal theme or motif furnished by some fan.

 Mir southwick will not see the theme at all. It will be played on piano at the studio and he will lis- ten in with earphones at the Austin Organ studio and then will proceed to improvtse.
 A common question Of radio fans Is, What do the letters K" and "W" means in regard to broadcast Ing stations?" Persons see ths call letters WEAF or KGO and wonder why each station in the country be- gins with a "UW" or a K" The "W" is the designation letter of broadcasting stations cast of the Mississippi, while the TX" designates stations west of the Mississippi, the exceptions to this being KOP, De- | troit, and KDKA, Pittsburgh.
