THE Marquis of Worcester didn't
l. own an Electrolux. He happened
to die in l667-so this isn't a testi.
monial. He is famous chiefly because
of his attempt to build a perpetual
motion machine.
The good Marquis would have been
astounded at Electrolux, not only be-
cause it makes ice-but especially be-.
cause it is as nea to perpetual motion
as man has yet arrived. Electrolux
has no machinery. You light a tiny,
silent, gas flame, and E%lectrolux goes
on forever. No wonder it costs less
to run!
Perhaps the noiselessness Of Electro
lux will appeal to you. Without wheels
to whir and cogs to buzz it just can't
make any noise.
In their place is just a small quanti-
ty of water and a tiny gas flame which
supplies enough heat to set up a physi.
cal action in a chilling liquid and pro-
duce intense, steady cold at all times.
The chilling action is continuous. 1t
goes on and on in an endless cycle with
out attention from you. You will al
ways have plenty of ice cubes and con-
slant low food temperature. But you
won't have a minutes worry, or bother.
And you'll find the operating cost sur.
prisingly low. Less than under any
other system of refrigeration.

proved by women's institutes, scientific

LONDON, July % (I.N.s.l.
A denial that mobilization to
war footing has been ordered
by the Chinese or the Soviets
was made by Marshal Chang
Hsueh Liang, Manchurian war
lord, on his arrival at Mukden
today from the Manchurian
frontier, according to a Muk-
den dispatch to the London
Times.
Marshal Chspg reported every
thing placid on the frontier, and
stated that the situation has been
greatly exaggerated" the dis
patch declared.
A message to the Daily Herald
states that all Russians over 3
years or age on the Chinese. side of
the horder have been arrested and
held as prisoners or war.
Earlier Report Alarming
An earlier dispatch said Chang
Hsueh.Liang had reported to the
Chinese government at Nanking an
attack by Soviet troops in the vi
cinity Of Suifenho, town on the
Manchurian border, also known by
the Russian name OF Pogranichan-
ava.
According to this report the Chi.
nese troops took the offensive, and
the Soviet troops were equipped
with all modern instruments of war,
including poison gas. There were
no details Of casualties.
1T also reiterated that Soviet
planes have been active over Pogran-
ichanaya, throwing the population
into panic.
Word of the reported attack
caused CONSERVATION in diplomatic
circles here, as 1t apparently was
being made just at the time both
China and Russia were giving guar
antees that neither would institute
hostilities against the. other because
Of the pledges undertaken when they
signed the Kellogg pact for renunci-
alton of war.

The British government was CO.
operating to the fullest extent of
its ability today with the United
States in an effort to bring about
peace in the Far East.
Through Sir Esme Howard, British
ambassador In Washington, Prime
Minister Macdonald has signified his
full approval of invoking the Kellogg
pact as a means of preventing re-
course to arms, but in view OF the
present dangerous situation on the
Manchurian border. 1t is difficult to
say what effect this Intervention
will have.
According to a daily express dis.
patch from Chang Chung, 5000 Rus.
sian Red guards are assembled be-
fore Pogranichnaya, while Soviet
planes make daily reconnaissance
flights into Chinese territory, where
a force estimated at 1900 is posted.
The Chinese guards are being rein

S. This law enters into force at the
moment of its proclamation.
Said to Be Inopportune.
In government circles the Nationalist
move is declared to be highly inoppor-
tune and embarrassing For, If the
plebiscite bill fails-which is regarded
as foregone conclusion-it permits
Germany's former foes to infer that the
German people do not wish the war
guilt stain to be removed. 1t is con-
tended that nothing could be farther
from the truth, but it is sheer folly, it
is declared in these quarters, to threaten
the governments accredited representa-
tives with prosecution for high treason
for accepting the Young plan and
Herewith the liberation of the Rhine
land as an important step in forward
direction.
AS for the practical side of the issue,
the fate of the Nationalist bill hinges
on the improbable contingency that
one-third of the Reichstag, 1854 of 4el
members, can be found to vote for
shelving the enforcement of the Young
plan. Even then 100000 signatures Of
electors would be needed to hold a
plebiscite, while 100000 signatures
would be needed if the necessary one
third vote in the Reichstag should be
unobtainable.
But when it came to the plebiscite
itself no one here imagines that a.
100000 Germans, one-half of the cleo
torate, could be induced to register their
assent to the Nationalist demand.

The law, which is called a bill fol

The bill is as follows:
