Associated Gas and Electric System
In Public Service Since 1852

aver seventy-seven years ago, the
~ Ithaca Gas Light Company, the
Oldest property in the Associated Gas
and Electric System, was engaged in the
manufacture and distribution of COM
mercial gas. the use of which preceded
electricity by half century. Thirty
years later when the first central station
was established. among the earliest to
generate electric light and power was the
Johnstown Electric Light Company of
Johnstown, Pennsylvania, now part of
the Associated System.
In 1906, the Associated Gas and Electric
Company was incorporated. one of the
first FIVE public utility holding COM
panies in the United States. From 1920
to 1928, while the average increase in
kilowatt hour sales by all other COM
panies was about 1919, sales by the
Associated System increased 1870. To-
day with extensive hydro-electric prop
critics. steam generating plants. gas

plants, mains, and thousands Of miles of
electric transmission lines, the Company
controls assets valued at more than
S800,000,O0O.
Located in eighteen states. the mari
time provinces of Canada, and the
Philippine Islands, the operating prop
critics provide electric light and power,
gas, water, steam, ice or transportation
to Zoo communities with an estimated
population of over 5,300,000-Serving
one in every thirty-one wired homes and
one in every forty-two gas customers in
the United States.
The essential and varied nature of the
services rendered, the widespread
distribution of properties, and the econo-
mics made possible by unified manage
ment of inter-eonnected properties
strategieally located in highly indus
trialized sections all contribute to the
steady growth of earnings which today
approximate 100000. 900 annually.

Tells How To.Get
Rid of Dandelions
CONTINUED from page ~

only way to unbend backs of those
who spend hours in the hot sun cut
ting dandelions and other hardy in
truders on the lawn, is to spend a
little money and far less time on de-
veloping a weed proof turf immune
to the invasion of the weed hosts. In
other words, develop so thick turf
that there will be no place for the
weeds to grow.
"This may sound like nothing more
than beautiful theory, but that it
works in actual practice was demon
strated recently in q very convinc-
ing fashion on the large lawn in
front Of Purdue university agricul-
tural experiment station. Three years
ago the lawn was q sea OF bright
blossomed dandelions and hardy plan
tains; today one has to search care
fully for trace Of those interlopers." "
On the basis of four or five pounds
Of fertilizer and sulphate of ammonia
to each 1000 square feet, the treat
ment will cost from so cents to 81
for the average lawn. Lawns not
needing fertilizer can be treated only
with sulphate of ammonia, which can
be spread over the turf in the same
manner grass seed is sown, or IT
can be dissolved in water and sprln-
killed. over the earth. If the mixture
is used, it should be wet thoroughly
to remove the chemical from the
blades Of grass.
Seed experts urge that the very
best Kentucky blue grass seed be
used in sowing lawns, mixed perhaps
with a small amount of red top grass
seed and clover if that is desired.

Defense Makes No Attempt to Discredit Her Gen.
 eral Denials


 LOS ANGELES, Cal, Oct. 24.- Eunice Pringle threw a blanket of denial on the principal contra iictory testimony of defense wit nesses as she appeared the second time in the Pantages trial.
 Without faltering, she assailed the sensational version which Pan- tages had cast about her story. When she finished, the defense excused her from the witness stand without solitary attempt to smash her denials.
 She denied Nick Duneav was at her home 50 to 75 times; denied that she told Pantages he would be sorry if he failed to book her act; denied that Pantages had told her that her act was too vul- gar and suggestive and he could not use it; denied that she was in his office 10 or 12 times; denied that in his private office she pull ed his necktie, disaTanged his clothing or that she answered his questions by saying you know what I want.

No solution was forthcoming. Jo- seph A. Warren retired as police commissioner, pleading i'll health, and was succeeded by Grover A.. Whalen, New York's official well conner, who promised speedy justice for Rothstein's slayers. Warren died later, his spirit broken, &C., cording to his friends.
 Joab H. Banton, retiring Tam many prosecutor. discounted the murder as having no political sig nificance.
 A grand jury indicted George Mc- Manus, Broadway gambler, Hyman Biller and two other unnamed men on charges of first degree murder. McManus was arrested and held in jail until finally released on S50,00O bail when Banton announced he would not be tried until Biller and the two others were apprehended
 There the case rested until, un- der the heavy fire of Walkers op- ponents, Fiorello H. LaGuardia, Re- publican; Norman Thomas, socialist and Richard E. Enright, Square Deal" candidate, Banton announced he would bring McManus to trial immediately.
 The case was set for October Is before Judge Charles c. Mott, but was postponed until November F when the court announced that under no circumstances would I try this case before election day. Election is November 5,
 Thus, year and week since Rothstein was shot, McManus will face jury on a charge of first degree murder.

NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-By an in- applicable quirk of politics. the un- solved murder of gambler has be- come the principal issue, tempor- arily at least, of New York's quad riennial campaign to select mayor.
 The specter of the Rothstein case has been resurrected and planted firmly in the foreground of the po- litical horizon by the strategy Of the men ambitious to supplant James J. Walker in the mayors chair.
 Probably not since the Rosenthal case IT years ago, in which Charles Becker, police lieutenant, paid with his life for plotting murder, has killing brought such loud rever- berations in political circles.
 Arnold Rothstein's lips were seal ed in death, but it was contended he left behind an discriminating record of his dealings in little black books ana Otner recOruS whose con tents have never been revealed. Walkers opponents clamor for the truth about reports that politicians and office holders were indebted to him for loans.
 A maze of conflicting statements, rumors and charges have cloaked the case since the gambler was fatally shot in a room in the Park Central hotel November 4, 1928. He had participated in stud poker game there.
 The weeks that followed brought a mass of rumors and public clamor for justice finally aroused Mayor Walker, who demanded action.
