WINTER is only matter
Of weeks away. But it doesn't matter
to Modern Washington. Thousands of
homes will be heated with gas Guton,a-
ticalEy, economically, banishing en-
tirely the troublesome. bother of
furnace tending.
There used to be an OBJ.
lection to gas heating because of
faucied high cost. But not any more.
The astonishing number of gas heating
users have clinched that argument. The
cost is Io,O. And one of these gas heat
ing units can be installed in your pres
ent furnace for less than any other
device for automatic heating.
Right nOtU, let US tell you
how little it will cost to enjoy Auto
matte Gas Heating in your home
without obligation. Join the swing to
comfort with the many others who are
making a declaration Of independence
from furnace cares.

Mother and Little Son Go Down in Tragedy
 Little Girl Saved

OLYMPIA, Wash, Aug. IT. The authorities are investigating the drownings of Mrs. Agnes M. Jen- sen, aged 24, and her one-year- -old son Bobby, in Louis Lake, seven miles from here.
 A note apparently written by Mrs Jensen and conflicting statements of the woman's thre e-year-old daughter, caused L. C. Huntamer to attempt to reconstruct the tragedy which occurred in front of the Jen- sen home.
 Screams of Ann, the little daugh- ter, who in an unexplained way escaped death, attracted her fath- CT, Harold Jensen, from the house to the lake. Ann is believed to have saved herself by struggling from the water to float on which she was found.
 The note said: Good bye, Dad dy."
 Ann, when the father reached her, said: Mama tried to save us, ,'' and then said later, Mama threw Bobby in, then me, then Mamma fell in"
 Jensen said he knew of no req son for his wife's suicide.
 Neighbors recovered the bodies oi the woman and boy.
