 What Electricity Is Doing


 Tt is not difficult for us to un- All that We need to do is to view the plant of one Of our modern pro ducing agencies. Well managed companies using the most modern and efficient appliances offer the eX- planation. Great dynamos or gen orators in one Of these plants, pie ture of which l have shown you. are turned by water turbines under the floor. Not a single drop of water is consumed. Only the energy of the falling water, the power Of gravity, is converted into electricity, The great steam turbines which turn many of our generators are equal marvels Of modern science. The steam goes into turbine hot enough to melt lead and comes out not hot enough to boil an egg in a week. The temperature of the exhaust steam is 70 degrees Fahrenheit-19 degrees cooler than the human body. Exhaust steam passages Of one Of these big turbines are big enough for six automobiles to pass through at once.
 An adept at comparisons ferroted out the interesting information that in London there are no less than sixty electric light power companies while Chicago has but one. but that one company generates and sells twice as much electricity as does London'S sixty companies at a price a little more than one-half the price in London. Here We have the cX- planation of another reason why We have cheap electricity in this coun- try. These London plants are not hooked up so that each plant may install its own reserve capacity, If you lived in London and moved a mile away where there is a differ ent kind of electricity, your lamps will only glow dimly. your toaster will not get hot and your vacuum cleaner will go only at half speed. You move agaln-all the lamps burn out with one brilliant flash. your toaster is white hot, burns the bread into charcoal in a few seconds and then goes out Of business and your vacuum cleaner gives one scream and expires. You move again in fact it is possible to move thir- ty-seven times more in an area of nineteen square miles and will find each time a different company sell you a different kind of electricity. In the United States we have one kind of electricity. Nearly all Of our power systems have standardiz- ed. One of many typical compan- ies which I have in mind has eX- tended its lines from the Great Lakes to West Virginia and every consumer on these lines is applied with 115 volts.
 Large production is possible be- cause of standardized electricity. The electrical manufacturer can make standardized motors with Conse- .quent reduction in selling prices. In 1900 electric motors of one horse power sold at an average price Of s147. Now such motors sell for S43 the result of quantity production and standardization of current. The progress in the development of the Mazda lamp is equally wonderful. Think of 1.-the ordinary candle costs one cent an hour to burn and

HUBBARD OUTLINES
 PROGRESS IN |. s.
Compares American Initiative and European MedieYalism

Bristol. Nov. 29-At the annual meeting of the Manufacturers As sociation of Connecticut held yes terday at the New Departure Manu- featuring company of Bristol, Presi- dent E. Kent Hubbard, delivering his annual address, discussed the de- yelopm ent Of public utilities lu ihs country, comparing it with the pro gress made in other nations, and cit ing numerous statistics to show 10 what great degree the progress of industry in America was due 10 the development Of the utilities here.
 Mir. Hubhard's talk was developed around q series of stereopticon slides illustrating the comparative pro sress of various nations
 Mr Hubbard said: ''In all of my previous annual reports l have aF- tempted to present to you some ln- dustrial problems which called for solution and in addition to render all account of my stewardship of the association which is yours. On tlls occasion l am going 10 give you an opportunity to look rather than 10 listen.

 We have a just right, I feel, to he proud of our accomplishments. The United States has in comparison 10 the next most favored people of the world eight times as many t"Ic- phones, thirty times as many auto mobiles. twice as many homes and there is only one-twentieth as many people living on public charity, We are orty-eight united nations. In Europe there are twenty jeai- ous and suspicious nations. We may travel or ship goods from one end Of our country 10 the other without molestation and without payment Of duties. We are not stopped If We cross a border We are not fined for having undeclared cigars in our pockets. Interstate commerce is un- interrupted and still by placing one map upon the other We can almost lose Europe in this country Of ours. We need not be timid about admit ting our greatness. We have earned our right to it for we have realized that the use of power instead Of muscle is one of the greatest factors in keeping a great nation great. When we were youngster aluminium was S7.70 per pound. Today it is 2Sc, and all because we applied the elec- trolytic process to it's manufacture, We talk of decline in Connecticut, industry.

He then averaged the value of a years out put and he found that in America it was almost three times more than in Great Britain. In commenting lat er on he says Everybody knows that American wages are almost three times British wages. High wages depend upon big horse power Possibly this is a new thought to many Of us but it is sound economies IS indicated by these figures.
 AS a matter of fact the United States uses more electricity than all the rest of the world combined. There are 21 million consumers buying electricity in the United States and only 1,S00,o00 In Eng land. This large number of our citizenship IS able to buy electricity because it is so cheap, It is the only item in our family budget which has not increased since the war. All other items have increas- cd from 45 to 126 per cent,

 "The mechanism of American business which We may visualize as a system of cog wheels has made American service what it is today. It has given us a standard of living. lt has triplcd our wage scale.

A larger output means higher wages and lower prices 10 the consumer and upon that cog wheel in turn revolyes larger purchases which turns the last or general prosperity symbol izing the enhancement of our ability to buy luXuries and certainty Of gen. eral prosperity.

 The sS,000,o00 campaign fund would be used. he said, to tell the voters of the high points of the vets arguments
 Stayton, in talking to reporters before going to the dinner, stressed the point that the dinner was not simply for republicans. However, the other speakers were all leaders in the wet wing of the republican party.
 Failing our efforts for a national referendum, we urge as an alterna- tive referendum in selected states, with an aggregate vote of 6,000,o00, representing say, 25,000.000 per sons" Stayton told reporters.
 If we are confined to obtaining a referendum piecemeal, as at pres ent. our financial requirements will be in accordance with the size of the task. We plan. If we can raise the funds for it, to send two letters 10 each of the 27,000,O0O voters in the United States. At five cents a let ter this would cost about s3,000,- o00."
 Former Senator Wadsworth sn- nounced his candidacy as New York delegate -at-large to the 1928 repub- lican national convention and he was reported to have told the diners he would press the convention for referendum plank.

opened, we presume that there was
rot a spare gun left in town. The

It has been stated by many that the

largest ever found in the Keyin4Sun-

the Sunburst sand and it was decided
to not drill the well deeper, but to
save it for its gas production.
Ten new wells were started, nips
spudded and IA completed last week
in the Kevin-Sunburst field. The

largest completion Of the week The

Queen City-Moore No. Is had 1,O0c
feet Of fluid in the hole two hour

estimated at so barrels. The Adams

the hole after it was shot with 40I
