One other point deserves notice. Like

investors attention is turned to the
balance sheet. He wants to know
whether the financial position has been

essential thing is the relation between
the current assets and the current la

KITCHENETTE
COOKING

Business women living in 'two
rooms and kitchenette," and the
young wife living in the small city
kitchenette apartment, can find
many delightful devices for cook
ing for two by electricity. These
range from the table stove, now
equipped with three heats which
boils, broils. fries and peaches a.
well as steama and toastn, to the
complete kitchenette electric
range, compact and shiny with
white enamel. It's controlled oven
is below the heating units; it IL
attachable TO the wall and occupies
about the same space as the fiat
top, low oven gas stove with which
such apartments used to be equip
ped. This will cost about az much
as a small range and must have
special wiring and a special meter
If cooking rate is given.
In between these two types or
electrical cooking equipment suit
able to a small space and the
hghtest of housekeeping is the
two or three burner plate with
three heats. These usually re-
quire from 1900 to 500 watts,
and since nothing over $50 watts
can be operated on the 110,voIt
circuit usually supplied for light
ing, they cannot be operated
from a lamp socket but must
have a special connection. They
do not actually require special
wiring or meter. Simple one plate
size portable ovens, somewhat In
sulated for use with electric
plates, are available for these.

cookers that may be operated

their seats with amazing quiet

FATHOMETER
AIDS SHIPS

A sounding device, known as q
"fathometer," has been developed
which tells almost instantly the
depth Of water under a ship. BY
means of the apparatus, a ship
captain can feel his way at night
and during stormy weather with
out stopping his ship. The
"fathometer" makes use of vacuum
tubes to amplify sound waves
which are sent to the bottom OF
the sea from the hull of the vessel.
1t measures the time required for
the sound to travel to the bottom
and return, and translates the time
into fathonS which are shown on
q dial in the pilot house. It Is
possible to make four soundings q
second from depth Of five
fathoms up to 1850.

NEW MOVIES
ARE CHEAP

A process has been discovered
IN France for making colored
motion pictures practical and
cheap. The secreat OF the inVen.
ton lies in the application of the
three main colors so that a ribbon
OF the film itself looks like an
ordinary piece OF celluloid. A
special treatment of celluloid puts
thousands of tiny gelatin cells
in the negative, each of which
gathers up red, violet and green
rays, and. as the powerful pro-
lection light passes through the
moving film. these rays are again
caught UP by three-color lens no
bigger than a 50-cent piece. The
result is a colored film of ex-
actly the same Intensity az he
