VICTORY?
Will the Republicans go through
to victory?
Thomas smiled. ut makes no
difference to me-for / know there
is little difference.
Roosevelt has a winning voice
and he is more adept in evading
the real issues.
THE campaign cry is, Balance
the budget And what does that
mean but cutting relief. The Rep
ublicans wouldn't balance the
budget much more than Roose-
welt, for if they would cut relief
toe much there would be riots.
Nor would the Republicans
abolish the commissions established
by Roosevelt. They couldn't. Cap
italism would disintegrate all the
more rapidly. Thus they simply
would replace Democrats with Re-
publicans on those commissions"

BY LAWRENCE CROLIUS.

What could be harder to find than a
burned out fuse? The proverbial
needle in the hay stack is easy to To-
cate compared with that missing link
in your home lighting system.
In the first place the fuse box is
generally located in some strange
hideaway making it pretty difhcult to
even look over the various fuses gath
cred there. Then, after you find the
box, you are faced with an array of
little round plugs that look exactly the
same after they have been burned out
as they did when you first put them in.
OF course, most fuses have little mica
windows in them now, but even then
you can't see much.
If you want to eliminate all this
difficulty you can now put in fuses
that will lead you right to the burned
out circuit by means of small neon
light. This neon light is located right
in the top part of the fuse and burns
brightly just as soon as the lights go
out. You will have to find your way
to the fuse box as usual, but once you
have found it you will be greeted by a
glowing neon indicator that shows you
exactly where the trouble is without
a lot of fumbling around.
BY simply twisting the head OF the

fuse you automatically renew 1t and
this can be done six times with one
fuse. It's just another Of those things
that make you wonder why it hadn't
been done before.
Some person with lethal intent has
invented porch light that electrocutes
insects in a very efficient manner.
The shock delivered by this little de-
vice isn't enough to harm human be-
ings, but 1t certainly sends our winged
annoyances to q speedy doom.
The insect killer consists Of small
cage built around a regular lamp
socket and bulb, the effect being that
of a good-looking lantern shade. A
high-tension electric current Is passed
through the small bars forming the
shade and the unknowing flies and
mosquitoes strike them as they endeavor
to get at the notwithstanding lamp.
A sudden and painless death results.
Lots of people will sit around on
Summer evenings and watch their
would-be attackers going to the
chair" in droves, but it's self-defense
after all.
Another lamp of less deadly type
enables you to have an ample supply
of light regardless Of where your chair
