7 Ohm w. CURRELL dips the end
/ of two steel rods into a pan Of
] liquid oxygen.
A moment later he withdraw


the rods, nicely welded together
Steel can be welded only at ap-
proXimately its melting point, 500
degrees above zero c. The tempera-
ture of liquid oxygen is approximately
1875 degrees below zero c.
Mr.. Currell gave demonstration Of
his paradoxical art in the laboratory
of the Southern Oxygen Co. near the
Washington Airport yesterday.
First, it must be explained. Mr..
Currell wraps the end of his two rods
in steel wool and sets it afire with a
match. The steel wool glows red hot.
Then he plunges the rods, burning
wool and all, into the oxygen.
The hot steel wool causes the cold
oxygen in immediate contact with it
to boil. Thus the two rod ends are
surrounded with a thin film of oxygen
steam. This catches fire and burns

Twin City Creamery
KENNEWICK

It was Ralph Waldo Emerson,
that illustrious exponent Of Ameri-
can philosophy, who is credited
with that gem Of thought wherein
he says that If Man, writes q
better book, breaches better SER
mon or makes q better mousetrap
than his neighbor, though he build
his house in the woods the world
will make a beaten path to his door.
And this is a verify that may be
accepted quite literally in any line
Of endeavOr.
I think Paul Spreen must have
read that little epic Of Mr.. Emer-
sons, for he has certainly adhered to
the tenets of its teachings in his
own business and II he did 1t was
surely with profitable results, for
there is well-defined and marked
path to the door of The Twin City
Creamery, and the hinges Of that
door will never grow rusty. They
are kept swinging to the tune Of sat
isfied customers.
This modern and attractive plant
was established In 1921. They man
ufacture Twin City Butter, Twin
City Ice Cream and handle eggs. all
Of these products being sold at
wholesale only to firms as far as
Walla Walla, Spokane, Pendleton
and Yakima.

The Appliance Shop
PASCO

Everything electrical. An oft-used
and much abused term. These col
umns do not give credence to the
claims that cannot be substantiated
and it is anything but our desire to
stretch the truth so that vivid i'm
agination, becomes requisite to a
proper understanding Of the person
about whom we write.
When We speak of The Appliance
as a place handling Everything
Electrical we mean just that and
nothing else. We mean that their
line of appliances and fixtures is so
complete and varied; that their rep
utation as electrical contractors,
prepared to install anything from
ordinary house wiring to dynamos.
is of such nature that they are
justified in using the term Every
thing Electrical.
Perhaps those with tendencies,
skeptical, may question these as
sertions and we do not deny them
that privilege. If so then exercise
your own rights and see for your
self.
Call on G. E. Prince or v. S.
CLANCY and ask for electrical serv-
ice Of any kind. We know you'll get
it. Phone 160.

cause Of Mr.. Reese's reliability it

tanks. This business is devoted to
the manufacture. wholesaling and
retailing of concrete pipes and
building blocks. employing from four
to six local people.

It owed debt Of gratitude to the

take q real interest in all move
ments that may promote the public
wealth; always ready and anxious
to aid In the expansion and growth
