eventual treaty or Tefraining altogether
from signing If the contents are found
entirely unacceptable.
1t was said that japan has no in
tention Of denouncing the London naval

not push their plan for including naval
agreements in a general Geneva arms
treaty.

Washington that the canal be
widened from an average of 80

Studies of the project have
been under way for 10 months.
The work of reconstructing the
waterway would be the largest
single project ever attempted
on the entire Delmarva East
ern Shore and would require
the employment of hundreds of
men for several years.
Tonnage of vessels using the
canal has been increasing con-

With the Fair but a few days

most thrilling spectacles at
night.
Three hundred and fifty flood
and protector lamps battle the
orange, yellow, red, silver and

gold tower is the focal point of
attention, rearing it's LIT foot
height conspicuously into the
many-hued heaven created by
the genius of Joseph Urban,
supervisor of color and light
ing for the Century of Pro-
gress.
Exterior lighting of the Gen
eral Motors Building alone
consumes enough electricity
per night to pump water for q
city of $4,000 inhabitants, or to
provide home and street light
ing for a city of $500 inhabit-
ants. An average OF two mil
lion, three hundred thousand
watts of electricity a day is
used. Monthly consumption
mounts to sixty-nine million
watts. This is equal to $4,000
horsepower a month.
