Wotatl'S Throne Is scaled by the party later, more interesting finds may be made. This mesa is even more remote and Inaccessible than Shiva, and even the oldest of the old-timers do not claim to have reached her top. .....
 Certain 1t is that no exploration party has ever been 50 nearly iso- lated and yet so close to civiliza- ton. From the great hotels perch- cd on either rim of the canyon the thin column of smoke of their canp- fire can be plainly seen.
 And Then Fly Back
 Curious tourists charter air. planes and skim out over the can- yon from the South Rim airport, skirting the flat top of Shiva Tenn pie in the hope of seeing the ex- plorers at work. Newspapermen covering the story likewise fly from the south to the north rim, where the base camp is estab- lished, and then return by air some 50 miles to the nearest tele- graph wire. They are making Q two.way flight every day across the vast canyon to cover the news of the progress made by the ex- plorers on Shiva.
 The heavy rainStorm which shrouded the mesa after the cx- plorerS had been several days on its tpo was 6 godsend, for the problem of water is one of the most acute faced by mountain climbers ir this section.
 Usually mountain climbers find more water and snow the higher they climb. But on a trip like this, the farther you get from the base of supplies the hotter and drier 1t gets, while deep down in the can- yon, a mile below. Q great noisy river tantalizeS with It's view of abundant water.
 No Water on WOtan
 Plane pilots who have continu- ally flown over the canyon for the past l2 years believe there Is no water oil Wotans Throne, either In years of flying at all hours of the day, they have learned to spot every bit Of living water in the canyon by It's reflection of the sun.
 But Woton'S Throne has re- vealed none, and 1t is expected that If the explorers succeed in sealing this mesa, all supplies, even watre, will have to be dropped to them .in parachutes from planes. ..
 Thus 1t now seems likely that while data of strictly scientific in- tcrest may lie hidden on the tops of Shiva Temple and Wotan's Throne, you will still have to 90 to the museum to sec the triccra- tops and the dinotheriu1n.

GAS CO.'S BOOST
 HOME SERVICE
Movement, Pioneered in Connecticut, Now In.
 cludes 800 Companies

New Haven, Sept. Establish ment of nome service" departments by gas companies--a movement pioneered in Connecticut 6 decade and half ago-haS now spread throughout the country until today, according ito a recent report by Elizabeth Sweeney, chairman of the Home Service Committee of the American Gas Association, there are more than 500 companies in this country which have home service departments. These departments employ more than l,200 women in handling the ever-growing work. The New Haven Gas Light company was one of the first in the country to establish a home service depart ment, and other utilities in Con- necticut were among the earliest in the field.
 Home service departments were at first chiefly cooking schools to which customers of the company were invited gratis and at which the use of gas in cooking was de- monstrated in e special kitchen and auditorium. Lessons were given in the preparation of various dishes. For those who wished 1t, advice was given concerning maintenance of the household budget. These prac- ticeS still continue, but the work of the home service department has been considerably enlarged by the introduction of contacts with the customer in theS home. Most such departments now employ trained ex- pertS to visit the housewife in her home and there to r<>ke or have made, such adjustments ~ house. hold appliances as are found ne- cessary to make them give maxi mum service. At the same time, ad- vice from these employees, especially trained for their work, is available to the housewife on cooking heating and other subjects concerning home economics.
 Thousands and thousands of housewives in Connecticut, and throughout the country, are con- tacted annually. And not few men are found to evidence great interest in the proper adjustment and use of gas appliances and in the cooking lessons. Most of the home service departments have been in existence only ten years or less.

 For there are accident problems in every field of human endeavor from agriculture to woodworking, from meat packing to mining, and from aviation to railroading.
 Seven thousand men and women representing these and other indus tries will gather in Kansas City from all sections of the United States and several foreign countries to plan the coming years cam paign against accidents. .
 More than 100 sessions on every conceivable phase of safety and acc cident prevention will be held. at the work bench In the oil fields and every other imagin- able place that accidents occur will be taken apart by more than 400 speakers to sec what makes them tick. ''e. H.
