Will Install
Transformers
ST. Regis Kroft
Load Is Heavier

An explosion which a few DAYS
ago blew up one Of the high volt
age transformers at the st Regis
Kraft company's pulp plant on the
tide fats was disclosed to the
council Wednesday by Utilities
Commissioner O'Neil.
He made the statement in con-
nection with introduction of an
ordinance appropriating $4,000
from the light fund for purchase
Of three 1,500-KVA transformers.
o'Neil told the commissioners
that the installation at st. Regis
plant now uses six l .000-kVA
transformers, installed more than
10 years ago. The plants cleo
trical requirements recently have
come close to the capacity of the
present transformer installation,
he said.
I'VE intend to install three new
1,500-KVA transformers there
now. and later to install three
more" O'Neil explained. The
1,000-KVA units will be overhauled
and prepared for use in other
places where the lower capacity
can be utilized"
The commissioner said the ex-
plosion Of the one transformer had
knocked out both power lines into
the plant and had stopped plant
operations for a time.
This one unit developed what
we call a hot spot and it just
blew up" O'Neil said.

CHAPTER SEVEN

Sheila said goodbye TO Mario
Muller with mixture of reluctance
and relief. 1t had been a strain TO
understand him as well as to con-
tinue his illusion that she was a
delicate rare flower" AS she stood
by the rail waving farewell he
turned and blew kiss. The ges-
ture came naturally to him but
she was glad that neither Olive
or Jim were there to witness IL.
Some one else did see IL how
ever. Blond Madeleine Devinnet,
the American girl who was return
ing to Buenos Aires TO rejoin her
husband had had little TO say TO
anyone during the long trip. Some
times she went swimming or lay
In moody silence beside the pool.
Occasionally she had played
Switchboard but most of the time
she sat in her deck chair staring
out at sea. Never had she become
confidential as so many of the pas
sengers were inclined TO do, men,
tioning friends or family she had
left behind or the husband she was
about to meet.
Sheila was therefore surprised
when Madeleine said TO her, He's
very attractive. isn't he?
He is when he wants 10 be
agreeable" Sheila replied. I've
never seen a man who could put
out as little when he isn't inter-
ested."
Madeleine nodded.
They're like that down here.
That charm which is so fascinating
can be turned off rs quickly as it &

slider themselves superior to any

She added bitterly. II ought to

they aren't altogether TO blame.
From the time they are made to
feel that because they belong to
the masculine sex they are entitled
to special privileges.
Sheila said, But I've always
understood that foreign women are
much more contented wives than
Americans"
They are because they accept
the situation. They don't expect
anything else. But an American
girl can't stand it. The wife of a
South American is not pal and

But plenty of marriages in our
country don't work either" Sheila
reminded her. There are Just as
many men in the States who are
poor husbands. don't think it is

Madeleine shrugged.
"Okay! Let 1t 60 at that. l

No doubt she meant well, Sheila
thought watching the slight figure

didn't look like the type to be
happy with any man. She was
probably representative and pos
sessive. Sheila was sorry for her
but she suspected MADELEINE prob
