HOUSE WIRING
SHOULD RECEIVE
CLOSE ATTENTION

Electric wiring IS 6 small port OF
the total expense e. home build
ing, but It is q mighty important
part.
Wiring has to be done before the
lathing and plaSterinE is applied.
Because the wires must be con-
cealed within the walls and llooes,
wiring may be a most serious men
ace to the home for fire may
easily be started if the work IS not
well done. Fires from electric wiz
ing came through short circuits
Whenever hot" or charged wires
that are not insulated touch each
other. or any other uulnsulated ma
terial, short circuit Is form ed
The heat thus set up IN the wires
Is supposed TO melt The fuse IN the
fusebox. thus automatically cutting
eft the current.
But. sometimes this fuse does ne
melt ana in consequence the lns'u-
alton burns off ana very possibly
a fire IS started from the sparks
thrown down and in the partitions
or floors. Wires must be thorou gh-
" insulated and they must not
touch-either now or later-any-
thing that is not itself insulated.
Be sure to anticipate all the out
lets that you will want for both
lighting and "cCnYeniences' Ii !
this way you avoid the chance that !
some circuit may Be overloaded, 4 /

the fusebox to group Of outlets (

or course, there will be number +

Adding outlets to a circuit after the
wiring is in place has the objection ;
that the circuit may be overload

The last race yesterday afternoon

Del Welles and Doubt Me pounded

standing that this house will cost something more
since it is necessary to increase somewhat the over
all size of the house. The additional expense will
not be of much consequence
In each of these houses there is excellent v
ing room, two bedrooms, dining room and kitchen,
with, of course the bath. Five bungalows of
this type probably the most popular Of al houses
that built They are generally inexpensive. They
afford fine accommodation and they get all the
floor, which to many people is highly
desirable quality.
One Of the minor details of these plans, which
may seem important to small home builders, is that
the front bedroom has direct access from the vcs-
bule It thus be used a room to be rented and
in that way provide income during ct least the
early years Of housekeeping while the home is being
paid for If desired, this door may be omitted.
This design has been formed thinking OF the
4uirements of small home builders who must not
spend excessive sums their homes. At the
time it is not poverty stricken. The forms pleas

distinct element Of beauty which, after all has its

FOKKER TRACKED , U. s. AND ALLIES

London.-(JP)-How Anthony Fokker tricked the allies is re- vealed in a book entitled Flying Dutchman," which has just been written by Fokker.
 one of the Armistice agree ments was that all airplanes of the D-7 type. a machine designed by him, were to be handed over to the allies by Germany. This. says Fox ker, was a great blow to Germany; 1t meant the destruction of five years day and night work. The only way to avoid this disaster was to smuggle the planes out of the country, so he hid more than 22O airplanes and 400 engines in out of-the-way barns and disused eel lars at Schwerin, where the fac tory was situated and from there removed all the material over the frontier into Holland.
 But that was not all. Fokker also smuggled his whole fortune m foreign currencies out of the coun- try. He had the money packed into suit-cases and bags. These were placed on his yacht, which was anchored in a German port The bags made it appear as though he was going for @ week end cruise. Instead he proceeded to Holland.

 Well" said Hammer, suppose make an affidavit to that effect, and then you can make another backing me up, and then We can make a formal demand on the British government for the return of the machine"
 At first Edison demurred, but finally agreed.
 Hammer secured an appointment with Sir Esme Howard, the Brit ish ambassador in Washington. At the conclusion of their conference Sir Esme said that he could under stand English officials not being willing to let go of the remarkable machine. But, he added, in view of Edison's affidavit, he felt the ma- chine should be returned to Amer ica Sir Esme said also that he would like to bring the machine in person to Edison, whom he had never met, but whom he admired intensely.
 Subsequently,, the ambassador sent word to the Edison laboratory at Orange that he had the phono- graph. Edison's secretary went at once to Washington. Sir Esme said that official business made it im- possible for him to go to Orange and suggested that the secretary take the machine with him.
 The photograph is now one of Mrs Edison's prize possessions. Mention has been made of two Edison laboratories - the one at Menlo Park and the other at Or ange, N. J.
 Tn fact, Edison had seven. The first was in his mothers cellar at Milan, Erie County, 0. His second was in the baggage car of the train that ran between Detroit and Port Huron, when he was a lad of 12. He set up his third in Newark following his receipt of $40,000 for his stock ticker. His fourth and greatest was at Menlo Park; his , fifth at West Orange. His sixth was in the shop of Bergman and com pany in New York and his last at Fort Myers, Fla.

It finally become so im- perative that he go south when the first attack of winter weather be- gan, that Edison had to abandon his attendance at the dinner given annually to him by the Edison Pioneers Society This dinner was always rendered him on his birth day, February II. However, though confined in Florida in his last days for the winter, he always sent the Edison Pioneers the heart- fest greetings. The first president of this commemorative organiza- tion was Francis R. Upton, whom 1t has been stated was Edison's s ablest scientific assistant.
 The Edison laboratory at West Orange was undoubtedly the best equipped of all his laboratories. Up to his very last days Edison rare- ly missed day of work. He hard ly ever took q vacation. In these last days the impairment of his health caused him to take auto- mobile rides. He is said to have re- marked on one of these rides that, while the scenery was beautiful, he had ESQ much to do."

Whittlesey, vice-presi- dent of the club, and acting chair man in the absence of the presi- dent, Mrs Maud Nathan, announced the winner of the twenty-five dollar prize offered by the club to the store in Morris presenting the best general appearance. The judges were Oswald Garrison Willard, edi- tor of The Nation, of Watertown; Miss Gertrude Lansing of Litch- field. and George Pearsons of Woodbury. Two judges concurred in the following statement:
 As one of the judges of the store contest at Morris I herewith tender my findings. The stores presenting the best appearance both inside and outside, maintain ing the best degree of order and cleanliness both inside and outside are, in my opinion. as follows:
 First prize-Skilton's store at Morris Center.
 Honorable mention - Slaiby's store at Lakeside.
 Commendation-Coe store at East Morris.
 Tt Is very surprising to me to see the civic pride displayed in the contest and the fine spirit displayed among the contestants. I am sure that If the stores will maintain their present appearance 1t will tend to increase business and be a
