Nv OBODY ever did want noisy re.
frigerator But in the past all au-
tomato refrigerators depended upon
complicated machinery which never could
get entirely away from some noise. That
is no longer true. The Gas Refrigerator
gives you all the benefit of automatic
refrigeration, without sound. 1t has no
moving parts. Nothing to wear, to vi
brate, to make noise. 1T DOESN'T AL
TERNATELY STOP AND START, In
stead, it works all the time and so makes
cold that is constant, steady.
This refrigerator is absurdly simple. No
machinery. Nothing to bother with. Just
tiny gas fame and tiny flow Of water
They act on liquid refrigerant which
is Theoretically sealed in rigid steel. The
tiny gas fame is completely protected by
an automatic shut-off. The flame must
stay lighted, or the gas shuts of.
And with all these advantages, Electrolux
costs less to use than any other refriger-
ator-6 cents a day average for both gas
AND WATER.

CAPITOL QUEEN
PROTECTED

Two men today climbed to the
top of the statue of the Goddess
of Freedom on the Capitol dome
to adjust new platinum lightning
rods installed yesterday.
Charles Fries and Robert
Jones, Of the Capitol painting
staff, did the work. Originally
it had been planned to leave the
platinum points off the statue
last night, but when an electrical
storm seemed imminent, Fries
late yesterday insisted upon max.

today consisted of simply adjust

office in Police Court, showed

gested district and $5 in outlying

DECISION DUE.
ERE WEEK
PASSES
Opinion Expected to Determine
If "LoWest Bids" Always
Must Be Accepted by U. S.

The fate of probably 10 or
more important construction con-
tracts to be let by the Treasury
and Interior departments during
the coming six months will be
decided by Comptroller General
McCarl within the next week.
This ruling will decide whether
the legal dogma that all Federal
building contracts are to be
awarded to the "lOweSt reSpOn-
sibIe bidder" must be followed
literally.
Hospital Job Is Test
It will be made in connection
with the decision with reference
to the bidders on the construction
of the tuberculosis ward at st.
Elizabeth's Hospital, in which the
Interior. Department is joining
with organized labor in seeking
some legal method by which it
can evade awarding the building
contract to the firm which ap-
pears to be the Lowest RESPONSE
BILE bidder"
It is an open secret that the
award will not be made to the w.
P. Rose company, of North Caro-
lima, the lowest bidder, unless it
is forced to do so by the comp
troller-general, whose prospective
ruling may deprive officials of the
Interior Department of any
leeWay whatever with reference
to bids on contracts.
Other Work Affected
Upon this ruling depends the
award of three Interior Depart
ment contracts, bids for which
will soon be advertised. Several
Treasury Department contracts,
and some to be made by the
District government in the school
construction program, also will be
affected.
The passage of the Davis act
by Congress, requiring the pay
ment of the prevailing rate" of
wages in Washington by all con-
tractors on Federal or District
projects, is the factor which is
expected to modify the previous
decisions of Comptroller General
McCarl with respect to building
contract policies.

HALTED AGAIN
Times Staff Photo

Creditors of Swartzell, Rheem
and Hensey who are endeavoring
to pull the private business
affairs of Edmund D. Rheem,
executive vice president of the
bankrupt mortgage banking
house into the examination of
the company's involved tran
S ctions, have experienced
another delay.
The hearing on exceptions
taken to rulings by Fred j. Eden,
referee in bankruptcy, refusing
to allow such testimony, which
was scheduled for this morning
before Justice Bailey in the
District Supreme Court, has been
postponed until Monday. The
exceptions we're taken by At
torneys George E. Sullivan and
Marcus Borchardt, each of whom
represents clients of the bank
rupt firm.
Claiming there is a possibility
that Rheem may have prOffted
personally through the replace
ment of original first trusts with
substitutes, and that it is not pos
Sible for them to trace accurately
the use of money received when
original instruments were re-
leased the lawyers say that only
through scrutiny of Rheem's per-
sOnal activities can the entire
picture be obtained.
The bankruptcy referee has
consistently held that since Rheem
is not a personal bankrupt he is
being questioned only as an
officer of the defunct concern
and that his personal affairs are
not in issue.
