work several store houses and Office
buildings have been built on the
Lewiston side of the river. On the
Auburn side bunk houses and mess
halls are under construction. Both
banks and Gulf Island, mid stream,
have been cleared of timber. Two
Golfer dams are nearly completed
across the channel on the Lewiston
side of the island. Between the two
Golfer dams, the first section of the
dam will be built, on top of which
will rest the power house some fifty
feet above the present level of the
water.
Frequent blasting is going on a.
round the lodges of the island, the
material from the blasting being
dumped into the Golfer dams.
Across the channel on the Auburn
side of the river a wooden foot
bridge, suspended by heavy steel
cables. affords communication be-
tween the two banks. Power lines
for operating the construction ma
chinery have been built to the dam
and electric lights for twilight work
have been provided.
New Power House May Develop
$4,000 Horsepower
The new dam, which Is being
built by the Morton c. futile con-
struction company of Boston, for
Central Maine Power Company, will
be completed early in 1927 The
power house will be equipped with
three or four generators of 5000
horsepower each, with a maximum
capacity of generating $4,000 horse
power of hydro-electric energy. The
dam is being built less than two
miles above the Deer Rips dam and
power plant of the same company.
1t will flow back the Androscoggin
river about . miles and create a
new storage reservoir of over a bill
lion cubic feet OF water.
Before completion the Gulf Island
development will cost nearly $5,OO0,-
600. The surplus power energy pro-
vided by the new plant will be avail
able for immediate consumption for
existing and new industries attract
ed to Lewiston-Auburn. All lines
inter-connected with Central Maine
Power Company system will benefit
materially from the development.
Visitors Welcome at Site
Visitors are welcome at the dam.
The site of the development may be
reached by automobile by following
the river road north from either Au-
burn or Lewiston. For pedestrians
1t Is a two-mile walk from the ter
minal of the Main street line of'the
Androscoggin & Kennebec trolley

Connecting Radio Dry Cell
Batteries

There are several tubes on the mar
ket of different voltages, and the
novice is often perplexed Just how to
connect the dry cells to suit the tubes.
The WD-ll and IL tubes are lh-volt
tubes, and operate on one or more dry
cells, one cell being usually provided
for each tube. If two or more cells
are used for more than one tube, they
are connected in parallel, as shown in
Fig. /. No matter how many dry
cells are connected together in this
way, the total voltage always remains
~. For 3-volt tubes, as UV-l99 and
C-299. the required voltage is OBJ
tanned by connecting two dry cells in
series, rs shown in Fig. 2 With this
arrangement the positive of one cell
is connected to the negative OF the
other. When two or more 3-volt
tubes are used. it is good practice TO
use two dry cells for each tube, con-
Meeting them in series-parallel, as
shown in Fig. 3. This gives 3 volts

Washington, April 27.-This, IN
the very nature Of things, is Amer
ica's show town.
No other capital in the world is so
distinctly nothing but capital.
London, Paris, Rome, Berlin. Tokyo,
Buenos Aires-they're capitals. But
they're something else, besides.
They're industrial and commercial
centers first, and centers of gov
eminent only incidentally.
Washington is just capital. She
needs to look the part. People go
to New York, Chicago, St. Louis
towns like that-on business. They
paw no attention to the way these
towns look. They may think they
look like hades but they don't care.
They come to Washington from
north. south, west and few miles
east just to feast their eyes. Visi-
tors even come from abroad
sometimes simply to pay their re-
poets, like the Prince of Wales, and
it ought to be a point of pride with
all Americans to have them favor
ably impressed.

The Standard Oil Company Qndiana) has
been called practical idealist, because OF its
sane appreciation of the relation between sero-
ice and profits. It realizes that profit is the
only spur to attract capital, which in turn
makes the economical production of merchan-
disc possible. 49,. 49,, ..'<.
It is because the Company, by successful
management, far-sighted policies and insisting
that service is the surest guide to profit, has
been able to earn satisfactory return for
it's stockholders, that money has been avail
able always, when further expansion of the
business has been necessary
This Company realizes that profits always
follow intelligent service. Without genuine
service, honestly rendered. there can be no
sustained profit. 1t is futile, therefore, to con-
slider profits at all without first considering the
service which produces them.
What the Standard Oil Company Tndiana)
does to create an essential service to 80 million
people in 10 Middle Western States must be
considered necessarily before the reasonable
ness of what it earns" can be estimated.
The ramihcations of service as referred to
above are legion. Delivering good product IS
only one phase, and while of major importance,
it is not primary or even basic.
For service is efficient only in so far as it IS
whole-souled and enthusiastic.
The MANAGEMENT of the Standard Oil Com
pany Qndiana) lays its cornerstone of service
on the foundation of taking sincere and keen
interest in the welfare of the 27,000 men and
women who make up its organization.
For an employe to do good work-to do
Justice to himself and to his task-must have
a free and easy mind without worry for the
: future.
The Management of this Company has pro-
vided method whereby employees can accuInu'

it has provided an insurance plan for the family
of the employee 1t has provided competence
for old age OF incapacity.
The effect Of these several plans has been to
promote harmony enthusiasm gOOd-will-ln

making profits for its stockholders. is enabled
to continue making petroleum products for rs
