LOW COST ELECTRICITY

Electric moguls have something 10 think about in regard to the re- ported invention of a low-cost hy- draulic plant which it is said, man. ufactures electricity for next to nothing"
 IL costs 370,ooo a year for the electric bills at the Maryland pen Itentiary. The two convicts there who have invented and patented the hydraulic power plant show that the current for the penitentiary with their system can be generated at cost of $l,ooo year, If such q system were to become universal electricity everywhere would be procurable at 1-7oth of the present cost.
 Frank l.. Alters and Raymond R.. Scott are the men who have pro- curcb the patents. Alters was a member of the Norris gang of cut throats: Scott is serving eight years for highway robbery.
 Here are two men with g natural gift toward mechanics. Why. one is constrained to ask. did they not FrI1 Lri i.,F1 they entered the penitentiary, rath- TT than after they became inmates? :? And the query that naturally fol- lows is: Are there many others like these two men. doing something perhaps cyil-Nhen they might be serving society by giving it the best that is in them?
 This hydraulic power plant idea may not amount 10 much; or again, it may. The description sounds | plausible, and here is nutshell paragraph which shows how it works:
 The working plan of the 1 Allcrs- Scott hydraulic plant
 calls for the forcing of water
 into an air chamber by its
 own pressure. Compressed air
 forces the water into turbine
 and the fluid is returned 10 its 1 original container and used
 again The device has been
 tested and found to be practice able"
 The foregoing, from the dcscrip- ton in the New York Times, indi. cates sort Of perpetual motion appliance. with water and gravity and compressed air the constituent elements
 IL would be a ehastly Joke upor the power interests if such a sys. tenn were found universally prac. tiCable.

DEATH DISCl0SES
MAN ISA WOMAN
HOLLYWOOD Poseur Was Married
Had Acted on Stage

Oakland, Cal, May . R-Death
in a hospital here yesterday betray-
ed Peter stratford's long guard=j
secret. Stratford before dying of
tuberculosis revealed that he" was
q woman.
The former Hollywood actor and
government employe in Washington
was married for nearly ten years.
An ambulance brought Stratfori
here last night from Nil 3 where
"he" had lived with Mrs. STRAIT
ford for the last 2 years. Strait
ford had been employed as bools-
keeper by 4 nursery there he told
hospital attendants. He" had been
unable to worl~ for nearly a month.
When stewards were removing
the patient from the ambulance
they heard ''him" murmur:
Don't put me in the mems ward
lin a woman"
Physicians found this was true.
Before dying. the patient told
how "he and his wife" had worked
as a theatrical team in Hollywood.
They came to Niles where they liv-
ed for two years. Heavy work As
a freight mover in the government
supply depot at Washington during
the war broke down ''his' health
and Mrs. stratford" came west
with her husband" to nurse "him.' -
the patient said.
The coroner learned that Mrs.
Stratford" had left her mate two
months ago.
