Cathedral Crumbles

ton of the famous Cologne cathedral
has been placed on the vibrations

by modern industry. 1t is estimated
that millions of marks will have to be
spent to conserve this unique monu-
ment of Gothic architecture.
The cathedral, built Of soft sand
stone, was considered so solid that II
would last for centuries. With Co

center and the completion of the huge
railroad bridge spanning the Rhine
near. the cathedral, experts said, the
crumbling Of foundations and walls
of the structure began.
Most of the damage, it is believed,
was done during the war when army
trains passed necessarily over the
bridge to and from the west front.
While normally 400 trains cross the
bridge daily, an average Of 1000 rum
bled across during the war. A pop
ular subscription is being taken up
for the restoration Of the edifice and
the Prussian government has voted
10000 marks for this purpose.

81 PEAKS IN US.
+. RISE $4,000 FEET
Colorado Has AZ, California
Is and Washing-
ton /.

San Francisco-The recent renam-
ing Of numerous high peaks by the
United States geographic board has
disclosed that there are siXty-one
peaks in this country more than 1000
feet high. OF these forty-seven are
in Colorado, thirteen in California and
one in Washington.
The Sierra club, a nationally known
organization, recommended some fifty
names and additions
high places in the country's noun
tains, and many of these have been
accepted as official.
The data compiled by the Sierra
club has brought out some interesting
facts: X e. ..r....
California, which has the highest
peak, Mount Whitney, 14,501 feet, also
has the lowest place, Death valley,
$50 feet below sea level.
In California there are more than
sixty unnamed peaks rising above
1900 feet, according to the United
States geological survey. There are
also fifty named peaks towering more
than 1900 feet.
California Peaks More Rugged
The mountains of Colorado are more
rounded in conformation and much
easier to climb than those of Cali
fornia, which are spirelike and con-
tain more perpetual small glaciers.
The state of Washington's one peak
Of extreme height-Mount Rainier,
14,4O8 feet-is claimed by mountain
GERS to be the most dominating and
beautiful of all. ~ ....
The United States geological survey
and the United States coast and geo.
detic survey give the ten highest
SUBMITS of the United States, exclu-
sive of Alaska, with their attitudes as
follows: Mount Whitney, California,

Blanca peak Colorado, 14,363; Gray's
peak, Colorado, 14,341; Torrey's peak,
Colorado, 1896, and La Plata peak.
Colorado, 1882.
Many Remain to Be Conquered
The height Of these mountains does
not mean that they are the most diff
ficult of ascent, for there are some in
California of much lower altitude that
have not been conquered. Only a
year ago Norman Clyde, an intrepid
climber of the Sierra club reached
the SUBMITS of two peaks more than
1900 feet high to the south of Mount
Whitney. His suggestion was accept
ed by the government that they be
named Mount Mallory and Mount Ir-
vine in honor Of the two members OF
the last Mount Everest expedition,
who lost their lives in June, 1924.
Most of the mountain peaks in this
country have been named for survey
ors, army engineers and scientists. A
distinguished group in the Sierra Ne
vada range, in Evolution basin, bear
the celebrated names Of Darwin, Hux-
ley, Spencer, Wallace, Haeckel and
Fisk.

Electricity for Light and
Power on Farm Practical
Delco-Light Co. Have Eliminated
Storage Batteries by Adding
New Features

An electric light and power plant
for the farm, which operates without
storage batteries, automatically sup
plies light and power instantly and
sells at a price that places it within
reach of every farm owner in the
United States is being announced this
week by the Delco-Light Company,
Dayton, Ohio. The Delco-Light Com
pany is a subsidiary of the General
Motors Corporation, second largest in
dustrial corporation in the world.
In presenting the new Model $50
Automatic Delco-Light, the company
has eliminated the use of storage bat
teries and added new features to the
generator which greatly simplify it's
operation. The result is plant which
can be installed for several hundred
dollars less than the battery equipped
model of approximately the same ca
pacity.
With installation of this new
model, electric light and power is
available at the turn of switch.
The generating unit is started auto
matically whenever a light or power
! switch is turned on and continues to
operate until the switch is turned off,
when the plant stops. The general
ing unit furnishes the current direct
to the lights Or motor equipment.
When the last light is turned off,
the plant stops automatically. The
plant of course, is self cranking, cur
rent for starting being supplied by. a
small acknowledging battery.
For use with automatic motor
equipment, such as Frigidaire, Delco-
Light Water Systems, etc., the out
fit is ideal. Opening the faucet at the
kitchen sink, or any place where wat
er is required, will start the plant
Just as soon as the pump switch cuts
in, the plant is started. AS long as
water is being used the plant con-
tinues to operate. When the faucet
is closed, the plant stops. The oper-
alton with the Frigidaire electric re-
frigerator motor is just the same.
When the current is required, the
plant operates. When it is no long
er needed, it stops.
The new Model $50 Automatic Del
co-Light plant has an output of $50
watts, sufficient to handle two one
fourth horse power motors at the
same time, with a reserve of 200
watts for lights, if they are needed.
"On account of the amazingly low
price Of this new plant, we feel that
we have at last placed electric light
and power within reach of every
farm owner in the United States" de-
clared E. G. Biechler, president of
the Delco-Light Company, when the
Model $50 was exhibited for the first
time at convention of Delco-Light
dealers last week.
'Here is plant that is absolutely
the last word in engineering and at
the same time is so simple in principle
and design that any housewife can
take care of it. And it is being Of
fered at most attractive price 2"
