Automatic Water System

The modern automatic electric
water system brings to the home in
the country and the home on the
fringe of the city beyond the water
mains the same convenience of run
ming water under pressure enjoyed
by city jewellers.
An electric water system is en-
hrely automatic and provides con-
slant supply Of fresh water, day and
night. The pump starts and stops
automatically. The system is auto
matically oiled and even the air sup
ply in the storage tank is automat-
ically controlled.
No attention whatever is required
by the water system except an occa-
sional'inspection to check mechanical
condition and state of fabrication.
Thus modern electric water sys-
tenn with all these automatic fea-
lures provides water supply that
is as dependable as that received
from any large municipal plant.

Veterans Can't Get Schooling

Four million servicemen who

will be deprived of the education

American communities immediate

classes for them, DR.. Paul A. Witty.
professor of education at North

DR.. Witty said that many formerly
illiterate men, proud of their edu-
cational achievement in the army.
and many of the others who did not
finish elementary school will wish
to resume their schoolwork under
the G.I. bill. However, existing
facilities for adult elementary edu-
cation are extremely limited, have
had doubtful success, and are not
geared to the needs of the vetsr-
ans.

tains four or FIVE packs of ciga-
