dust-collecting devices and blow pipe
work for factories. manufacturing
of tanks, chain guards, hoppers,
hoods, stacks, boxes, pans, chutes,
ovens, tunnels.
Repairing and replacement of
guttering, roofing, downspouts for
private residences and factories,
manufacturing of milk cans and
dairy supplies, chimney tops, smoke
and other piping and castings are
some of the activities.
Among other ideas developed by
the firm is the use of monel metal
and stainless steel kitchen wash
sinks, drainboards and cabinets to
replace old cracked enameled sinks
and split wood lined sink and drain
boards.
The use of sheet metal in the
backgrounds and window decora-
tons for display windows have been
developed. The sheets produce an
effect similar to pleated fabric
background and by the use of
bronze or silver paint unusual mod
ernistic settings have been pro-
duced.
The firm has complete staff of
employees available for all kinds of
metal work.
Because of the years of expert
ence the firm has the advantage
over many firms, in trying out vari-
Gus devices, giving them the test
of time and service.

1875 FORMULA
MAY FIX CRUDE
OIL, GAS PRICES
That's Constant, If Presi-
dent Utilities Power in
Fair Practice Code.

By Scripps-Hopdrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-What
three point-two is to beer. eighteen
point-five will be to gasoline and
crude oil-and to consumers of these
products-for ninety days, at least,
after Sept. 2.
This figure, 1875, is the constant
by which will be determined the
price of crude oil, if and after Presi-
dent Roosevelt utilities the power
granted him in the Petroleum code
OF fair practices, just approved by
MIN and NRA.
During the 90-day test period, If
the President fixes the base price of
gasoline per gallon. it will be multi
piled by 1875, to determine the price
of crude oil
Thus, if the tank car price of gas
oline were set at 2 cents per gallon,
2 cents multiplied bya185 equals 81
cents, which would be the price to
be paid for barrel of crude oil. If
gasoline were six cents a gallon,
crude oil would be Sill.
The base price of gasoline which
the President thus is empowered TO
fix, is not, of course, the filling sta
ton price. But, rather, it is the
price at the refinery, before trans
portation charges and gasoline taxes
are added.
1t is apparent, from this formula,
that in fixing the base price of gaso-
line, the President also fixes by in
direction the base price of crude oil.
The constant, 1875, by which he
accomplishes this, is described in
the code as representing the rela-
tionship between the average price
of gasoline and the average price of
crude during the period 1928-1932.
If President Roosevelt assumes
the price-fixing power, many expect
him to take only this step at first;
but under the oil code, practically
unlimited authority to fix prices
from well-mouth to filling station
pump, are granted.

Perfect Draught Brew Is
Claimed With Use of
Modern Equipment.

Perfect draught beer! That's the
slogan for the Polar Ice Company,
distributor for the Wepsco modern
service bar, now being sold to city
beer dealers.
Every glass of beer is uniform in
foam, taste and sparkle, declare
manufacturers of this new bar and
bar equipment. Waste is eliminated,
they assert, with use of the Wepsco
equipment.
The draught unit is built into a
high grade refrigerator cabinet of
steel, fabricated over a seasoned
spruce frame. 1t is heavily insulated
on all sides, top and bottom, with
three inches of the most efficient
insulation known.
Doors are sealed with cushion gas
kets. All metal joints are broken by
an insulator, which prevents heat
conductivity. Exposed metal is hot
galvanized to prevent rust. Spot
welded joints give the cabinet Stur-
dinesS and long life.
The exterior is lacquered in a
variety of color combinations, the
most popular being black and white
and brown and white. The bar tops
are available in stainless steel, or
black bakelite, with chromium inlay
around the edges, or bakelite in i'm
itation walnut.
Pressure keeps beer from going
flat. but it also creates excess foam,
which must be scraped into the
drain. Besides being annoying dur
ing busy hours, a considerable guam
tity of beer thus is wasted with the
ordinary equipment.

Removing Old Wallpaper

Wet the paper thoroughly with
water applied with sponge. Then
scrape of all the paper with a
broad scraper or putty knife. Care
should be taken to avoid injuring
the plaster walls by Scraping
through the glazed surface. After
the paper has been removed and
all the holes have been filled with
plaster of paris or crack filler, a
coat Of shellac will be found helpful
in stopping suction and making a
uniform surface for painting. After
the shellae is dry, two or three coats
of wall paint should be applied.

Is a company operating under a pro-
posed code which does not include all en-

not have to be observed, but should

ELECTRIC RANCE
BUSINESS CAIN
is ANNOUNCED
Washing Machines and
Vacuum Cleaner Trade
Also Is on Upgrade.

By Times Specfai
NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-Increasing
sales Of vacuum cleaners. washing
machines, and electric ranges are
cited as a definite sign of improved
consumer buying over the last few
months, according to statements
made at the Westinghouse sales
meeting in the Pennsylvania hotel,
here.
Our washing machine business
for the first six months of this year
was 80 per cent, better than that OF
the entire year of 1892" said Lloyd
Shawber, division manager Of the
merchandising department, West
inghouse Electric and Manufactur-
ing Company.
Vacuum sweeper business was
even better, it being less than 80 per
cent better to date than our orders
for all last year. Daily, the volume
of orders now being received is
equal to three days production at
our factory, thus providing us with
a substantial backlog of business.
These orders are being received
from every section of the country.
Expect Greater Increase
Business is not falling off, even
in this period, which normally is one
of a seasonal letdown, so that our
predictions for the future are based
upon an even greater increase next
year"
The increase in washing machine
sales is a strong indication that peo-
pie are washing more clothes. APP
parently the increased wages, at
tributed to the MIRA activity. is en-
abilng the average wage-eerner TO
lay in a stock of shirts and other
cotton goods before prices advance.
Reese Mills, manager of the range
and water heater division of the
Westinghouse Electric and Manu-
featuring Company. emphasized the
fact that practically the entire mar
ket for electric ranges was a virgin
one.
Following the peak in refrigera-
tor safes, 1 believe that the next
trend in public buying will be in
electric ranges" stated Mills. About
10000 900 ranges of all classical
tions, which are not modern, are be-
ing used. A large proportion of this
total is ready for replacement by
modern cooking units.
MOdernizatiOn Is Forecast
ut is my opinion that large per-
centage of these requirements will
be with up-to-date, automatic cleo
trio ranges, which, because Of their
many features of control. which
electricity makes possible. have in
creased the efficiency of the kitchen
greatly.
There undoubtedly is strong
public trend toward electric kitch-
ems. Through these, the interested,
thinking housewife is seeing the
necessity for modern cooking equip
ment.
The replacement market have
mentioned and the public interest
in electric kitchens will provide the
electric manufacturer with a large
market which will be increasing
steadily during the next few years"

TIGER BEER GRAB
Holds Up Measure in
Fight for Spells

ALBANY, March 30.-The Tam
many governor, Herbert H. Lehman,
adopted the methods of the Tammany
president, Franklin D. Roosevelt, to-
day when he appeared before a joint
session of the legislature today and
insisted upon swift passage Of his beer
control bill.
Tammany is getting nervous about
the delay, because 1t wants to go
ahead full blast using state power to
get its greedy claws upon the beer
business before April It'll. Lehman
confessed as much when he insisted
upon immediate approval Of his bill
ito prevent uncontrolled distribution
of the beverage which will become le-
galized after April 7th."
Wants Centralized Control
Lehman Historically shouted that
he was opposed to "decentralized con-
troll" and said the state should con-
troll the whole works. There are strong
groups throughout the state who are
fighting for their lives against what
they regard as the certain threat Of
determination by the Tammany gang
sters who will be given a free hand
in using the leyalized beer racket to
strengthen the Tammany machine,
just as t',e boot'syging. dope peddling
and vice racket are Tammany con-
trolled.

NEGRO WITNESSES IN SCOTTSBORO
TRIAL TELL OF JURY EXCLUSION

that Negroes were excluded from jury
service. At this point the judge once
more prevented defense counsel from
showing the tremendous difficulties
involved in Negroes voting in Nor
gan County.
Challenges Judges 10 Question
In addition to Banks, DR.. n. r..
Cashin and L. r. Womach, both Ne
groes and the latter q. Decatur
preacher presented an additional list
of Negroes qualified for jury service,
but all declared that they never knew
Of a single Negro who has served.
After defense attorney Liebowitz
had revealed by questioning that
Banks was fully eligible to serve on a
jury and had never been called al
though voter. he asked that Judge
Horton himself examine the witness
to determine, if possible, Why he was
excluded from jury service. The Judge,
however, refused to do this.
An indication of the great support
for the Scottsboro boys among the
Negroes of the section is seen in the
fact that many local Negroes are vol
unfairly presenting to the defense
names Of Negroes eligible for jury
duty who would willingly appear in
court to testify.
