Again the President is lending his name to the fight against infantile paralysis. This year last January 30 the Presidents birthday the dance floors of the nation the battle will be against the dreaded disease hundreds of thousands take part in the Presidents Birthday ball.
 More than two million dollars raised at the 1884 and 1885 birthday balls the money in large measure going to the Warm Springs Foundation through which the infantile paralysis is waged The President himself stricken with the disease in the prime of live and successfully conquered it and it is but natural that his heart goes out to those similarly af fcted and his efforts to that they given the best treatment especially the children.
 The Chief Executive has approved the suggestion that seventy per cent of the proceeds of the birthday balls this year be retained in the respective ties to be dsbursed to local adjacent orthopedic hospitals for treatment of local nfantile paraysis crpples as each community decides The other thirty percent goes to the Foundation.
 The whole humanitarian program is worthy the wholehearted support of every community Last year in Juneau $350 was raised. That mark should be surpassed possibly doubled this January 30.

B. D. Stewart has been identified as the Good Samaritan who gave c. c. Miller his handkerchief to shield the gale from the face and the heavy woolen mittens to pro- tect his hands. Miller was walking along Willoughby Avenue in the thick of the storm when he was suddenly stopped by stranger who said, Your face is nearly frozen; Here, rub it with snow," and suit ing action to the word, the un- known rubbed MT. Miller's face until the frost disappeared. The unknown then handed MT. Miller handkerchief to wrap his face in also gave him the woolen mittens, and went his way.
 Mir Miller took the articles into The Empire office that afternoon and a story, slugged Real Sama- tin Has Been Found" appeared in that evenings Empire. MT. Stew are read the paper and came to the office to claim his property. He secured the handkerchief, but one of the reporters had, for the time being, appropriated the mittens.
 Old Sol peeked out for a little while and shone down upon suf- fering Juneau, just evidently as a sign of friendly encouragement, since almost immediately afterwarc he ducked out of sight. There was no prediction when the cold might break. It might be only few days or again it might continue for forty Residents are warned to watch theil fires and be most careful. The Bremen will do all in mortal power possible if called but none of them are hankering after the calling In many home the kitchen has become the dining room and gen. eral living room and in few cases beds have been moved at night and placed near the kitchen stove Many families closed their homes and hied them to the hotels, where heat could be had for little exer- ton.
 One complaint came to The Em- pire from lady who thought her paper ought to have been delivered to the back door instead of to the front. Otherwise, the subscribers were cheerful enough. All but one of the loyal carriers showed up and about two-thirds of the papers were delivered, the business manager himself carrying some of the more difficult routes. Facing the possi- bility of indefinite storm, The Elm pire assured it's subscribers it would continue to appear unless Mount Juneau falls on the office, l, a prospect which, considering what had already happened in the way of natural manifestation, seemed not altogether unlikely.

the fountains on the lagoon turn

fire, the buildings cleaning in all
the hues of the rainbow, while
powerful searchlights created a
veritable aurora borealis upon the
clouds.
VX7HITE light constituted a
W greater miracle to the visi-
tors to the Columbian Exposition.
For the exposition represented the
first large-scale, spectacular DEM

with the new incandescent cleo
trio lamps.
Behind Westinghouse triumph
at Chicago was typical Westing-
house story, a story of iron de-
termination, hard work, and cour-
ageouS fighting such as marked
his initial success with the air
brake.
When George westinghouse be-
came interested in electric light
ing, shortly after 1880, Thomas A.
Edison was the chief figure in the
field. Mr.. Edison was an expo
nent of the use of direct current
and had pretty well imposed his
notions upon the industry.
Mr.. Westinghouse soon came to
the conclusion that the use of al
ternating current was superior.
Thus began the famous battle of
the currents" :
AS every high school pupil
knows, direct current flows in one
direction only, while in alternat-
ing current the direction of flow
alternates many times second,
go times second in the installa-
lions most popular in this coun-
try today.
In 1888, the London journal,
Engineering, carried accounts of a
transformer invented by Lucien
Gaulard and John Dixon Gibbs.
Direct current must be generated,
distributed and used at the same
pressure or voltage. The trans
former made it possible to change

A Strenuous Objection

A ND objected even more strenueusly when in
n the familiar manner of the comic Mr. Hoover
undertook to top his best gag line with an additional
snapper. They should be sure it is horse" he
SAID Then he waited for his laugh and added, my
belief is that it is white rabbit"
am not among those who think that all criticism
should be dignified. would not even exempt the
President of the United States from sharp written
or verbal criticism and yet think there are things
Which offend taste. Just think Of the howl which
would have arisen if any radical speaker had said
anything remotely approaching that
Herbert Hoover was once Chief Executive and
think it is little less than fitting for him to refer
to Roosevelt-or any American President, for that
matter-as white rabbit. Moreover these are not
the most suitable words to be employed by that par
ticuIar ex-President who, in fit of panic, called
out the Army of the United States to attack an en-
campment OF hungry war veterans.
Again. how we'll does the white rabbit iape square
with other portions of Herbert Hoovers monologue?
we have for four years listened to continuous
defamation of everything that has gone before" he
said in Philadelphia. Honest achievement of men
has been bettled; things embedded in our patriotism
have been smeared with contempt"
have no recollection of Mr.. Roosevelt or any of
his associates coming within hailing distance of
white rabbit in any criticism of Mr.. Hoover. After
all, who's smearing now?

alternating current from one volt
age to another.
Mr.. Westinghouse had learned,
while establishing the natural gas
industry in Pittsburgh, the value
of distributing gas at high pres
sure and having it used at low
pressure. He saw at once that a
successful long-distance distribu-
ton of electricity was possible
only at much higher voltages
than those at which the con-
sumner would use it. This meant
the use of alternating current.
1.-TWO years later, in 1885, West
l. inghouse imported some of
the Gaulard-G Gibbs transformers.
They were inefficient and William
Stanley, his chief electrical aid,
set about at once to improve them.
In 1886, Mr.. Stanley installed a
dozen of them in Great Barring
ton, Mass, and lighted several of
the village stores by alternating
current.
This was the first installation of
an alternating current system, the
system now standard throughout
the world.
The Importance of the Gaulard-
Gibbs patents was apparent to
Mr.. Westinghouse and he sent
Franklin L. Pope, his patent at
torney, and Guido Panteleoni, one
of his engineers, to Europe TO buy
them.
How much are we to pay for
the rights?" Mr.. Panteleoni asked
Mr.. Westinghouse.
They'll tell you their price;
close the bargain, and I'll send
the money by cable to YOU"
The deal was closed for $50, 900.
That same year, 1886, Mr.. West
inghouse organized the Westing-
house Electric Co., now known as
the Westinghouse Electric and
Manufacturing Co.
