Topeka, KaS.-GOvernOr Alfred
M. Landon in accepting the Repu-

the United States of America gave
his stand in uncompromising ter

bered by all Americans is the fol-
lowing:
II intend to approach the issue
fairly, as I see them, without ran
cor Or passion. If we are to go for
ward permantely, it must be with
a united nation-not with a people
torn by appeals to prejudice and
divided by class feeling.

ings, ia baby bands, az hot water
bottle covers, 6 canvas sheets, hem
med table cloths, hemmed 1853 tow
els, 72 binders, lap sheets. BAG

iaI the mending was kept up. Mend
ing for the Hospital is quite a seri-
Gus problem. Now that the unit is
closed we are depending on the gen.
erosity Of the people TO do the job.

NEW GENERATING PLANT
In OPERATION HERE
Equipment Includes Many New Pow
er Items; Highly Efficient

The additional generating equip
ment installed in Milford Light and
Power Plant is now in operation.
This equipment includes a 1850 kilo-
watt Westinghouse turbine-genera-
tor complete with 1900 square foot
Westinghouse surface condenser,
necessary pumps and distribution
switch board panel, purchased and
installed with the aid of PWA funds
in the amount of S27 ,369.00 being As
per cent of $60,SS22.00, the total cost
OF this improvement The city of
Milford supply 55 per cent of this
cost of $3S.45SOO.
Because, of the great progress
made during recent years in the
design Of this type Of apparatus, the
performance of the new generating
equipment is considerably higher in
efficiency than the equipment now in
service. While 1t has only been nine
years since the generator now in
service was built, the turbine gem
orator now put into service requires
at full load approximately IS per
cent less steam per kilowatt than
the older unit
In order to obtain this high de-
gree Of efficiency it was necessary
to alter, boilers to afford steam at
higher temperature. Through the
addition Of superheaters higher tenn
peratures were made possible.
Another feature that will reduce
the maintenance is the design Of the
used in conjunction with
the new turbine generator. The new
surface condenser provides distilled
water for generating steam, utilizing

But road races eventually outlawed, principally
because of the great dangers inherent the sport Deaths
and inuries-to spectators well participants

Today our highways are thronged with cars which
travel at speeds much greater than those attained in the
old road Many of these in bad mechanical
condition. with faulty brakes ttery steering glarng or
weak lights, WORKOUT tires Many of them are driven
by drivers who incompetent reckless and in some
cases. physically incapacitaed It's likely that an oldme

Until America moves aggressivey against incompetent,
