Democratic Juvenile Court
JuriSt Will Seek Re-
Election.

Pointing TO his record as judge
of the juvenile court, John F. Geek
Ter, yesterday announced his can
didacy for reelection on the Demo-
cratic ticket.
Judge GeckIer reviews his admin
istratiOn thus: In the matter Of
economy the records show that the
average cost Of administration per
year for the last three years was
s38,813, as compared with $40, 759
for 1880. Business of the court in
creased approximately 40 per cent
during the current depression"
More than 1000 adult cases and
more than $500 children's cases
have been handled in the court III
the past three years, not including
informal or Riley hospital cases.
Approximately $4,000 was COL
lected for the support of dependent
children, Judge Geckler claims.
More than 1000 cases were adjust
ed satisfactorily informally by the
court and its probation officers and
Investigators, the judge says.
Critics of his administration, at
lacking his leniency, were hit by
Judge Geckler, who said that Ieni-
ency was necessary in many cases
because of hardshipS suffered by
economic deprivations.

Background of the Austrian civil
strife, which fared last week. was
sketched for members Of the Mer-
Gator Club yesterday by Dr. Martha
L. Gardner.
In Austria. the depression has
been continuous since 1920 and
most of the people now have be-

Despite their restrictions by the
government, the people seem to en-

which swirl about the ordinary city
hall.
He wants to be honest, and no
body will help him. He is threat
ened, cursed, blackmailed, framed
and then he goes to his friends
in the local Chinese colony for
help, and turns the tables.
Graft, racketeering, and gang
sterism are an old story to Chi
nese. They invented and perfected
such things before America was
discovered, and they know tricks
American politicians and gangsters
never dreamed Of.
Our mayor fights fire with fire,
opposes Chinese trickery to the
American variety, and fights the
gangsters with ingenious Chinese
tOrtures-and in the end, comes
triumphantly out on top.
It's lot of fun to read, and it's
pretty good satire. Published by
Harpers, the book sells for So.

ANNOUNCE new
TYPE ELECTRIC
REFRIGERATOR
NEW MODEL WILL BE AVAIL
ABLE SHORTLY, SAYS 3. L.
GRooMs. HEAD OF K. w.
ELECTRIC COMPANY

Revolutionary in design and
priced to appeal to millions of small
homes, a new type of electric re-
frigerator and electric range have
just been announced by General
Electric Company. The new models
viii be available shortly, accord
ing to B. L. Grooms, head of The
Key West Electric Company, deal
ers here for General Electric
Kitchen Appliances. The refrig-
orator will be priced at $77.50
at the factory. They may be
purchased separately or in com
bination, when the price win be
$142.50 at the factory.
The refrigerator will be priced at
$77.50 at the factory and the
range $1,000 at the factory. They
may be purchased separately or in
combination, when the price will
be $142.50 at the factory.
Both have been approved by
David E. LilienthaE, director of the
iva and president of the EHFA
and will be placed on sale in the
Tennessee Valley states where the
federal government is launching
its huge program to carry low
cost electrical appliances to resi-
dents. The activity there is ex-
Ipected to spread rapidly through
out he country and thus extend
the use of labor-saving electrical
home appliances. The new refrig-
orator is of the ''life top" type,
with all steel cabinet and hermetic-
ally sealed unit. 1t will hold all
of the perishable foods needed for
a family of four for three days.
Current consumption is said to be
surprisingly low. Five years
service protection is optional al
81 additional. Equally revOlu-
tionary is the new low-priced
range, which boasts many of the
advanced features of costly cleo
trie ranges. Both range and re-
frigerator are So inches high and
occupy little space.
"There are innumerable uses
for these products" says Mr..
Grooms. First, in millions of
small homes which heretofore have
felt they could not. afford electric
refrigeration and electric cookery.
and in summer cottages, camps,
recreation rooms, small apart
ments and in wayside barbecues,
doctors offices and drug stores
for the preservation of serum,
etc. We believe the low-priced
line will aid materially in making
America electric kitchen conscious
and thus further raise the stand
ard of living through the wide
spread use of these labor, health
and time-saving appliances"

S.
IF half the fun Of making Q garden
: is watching it grow, then GER
tainly the other half is showing it
on after it is fully grown and in
bloom.
But you must have light to enter
into either of these methods of en-
joying the garden, and since the
hours Of daylight are all too short
for the gardener who spends his
days in an Office or shop, the new art
of garden lighting has developed.
Light Sources Concealed
Light for the garden does not aim
to paint the lily or gid the rose.
Rather, il aims to show them after
dark in their true colors, for all to
enjoy. As FOR the lighting itself, if
it is correctly done, it will pass al
most unnoticed. for the first rule in
garden illumination is that all light
sources in the garden should be con-
cealed.
In most gardens it is not difficult
to follow this rule. Small handy
fioodlights can be concealed in a
tree-crotch or under the caves Of

Use Clear. Net Cslorsd Lights
In this connection, it is well to
mention that white or clear lamp
bulbs should be substituted for the
colored bulbs found in the Christ
mas tree string. Colored light does
strange things to objects seen under
it, while clear or white light reveals
them in their true colors. Hence.
clear or inside-froeted lamp bulbs
often the regular household types
ARE recommended for use with all

Each of the units mentioned will
keep some beauty spot from sink
ing into oblivion with the coming
of darkness. The practical gardener
will be glad to know too that each
comes complete with a waterproof
socket and several feet of heavy wa
