LOCATING POEM.

(Fron, Mrs. A. M. Y, Washington.
On July 6, Mr.. J. A. O., jr.,
Washington, asked RCH II any one
could furnish the words and author
Of THE Face on the Barroom
Floor" I have it but is too long
for me to write it as 1t has 60 lines.
1t was written by H. darcy and 1t
is one Of the 81 poems in a book
by Pat O'Malley, 349 West 47th st.,
New York City, N. Y. price, IS
cents. I have had this book about
80 years. 1t is called THE Most
Wonderful Collection Of Famous
Recitations Ever Written" 1t is
nice to have as 1t has all the old
poems such as THE Blue Velvet
Band" by John r. Leonard, and
why Should the Spirit of Mortal
Be Proud?", favorite poem of
Lincoln.

PRIVACY: FIREWORKS.

(From Mrs. M. Z. F.. Washington. J
In answer to Miss E. c. McF.
Alexandra, who wrote about chill
dren being all over her place all day.
I would Just like to say If her priv
acy Is not her own, 1t is strictly her
own fault. I say this because of
four little words in her reply OF July
II namely: without offending any
one" I'm speaking strictly from q
mothers view point. I have three
lovely children, front and back
porch and the average amount Of
lawn and know what 1t is to have
children around all day long. I sx-
pect and encourage . certain amount
Of visiting from tho children in the
neighborhood, but this business OF
staying only on our porches all day
Is getting me down and I'm letting
1t be known to every one. Don't be
afraid Of hurting any ones feelings.
I've come to the conclusion that Is
the only way to have peace.
Even though 1t will be . year be-
fore we celebrate Independence Day
I must give this warning to every
one. I purchased the safe" fire
works from a store right here in the
District. Among the varieties was
the pearl bouquet with the following
instructions: Hold in hand away
from body and light fuse" I fol-
lowed the instructions, tina fuse end
started to burn and suddenly a ter
rible blast of fire came out of the
handle end and I received second
degree burns all over my left hand.
I'm still under the doctors care and
it will be some time before my hand
Is well again.
I'm 80 thankful that I, m adult,
received these burns and not one Of
the seven children who were at my
home at the time. A child's cloth
ing could catch on IRE from such
a blast and goodness knows what
else could happen. There are no such
things as safe fireworks. Nearly every
community has lovely displays which
are free and that should be enough
AS for myself I not only spent 90
for fireworks, but bought myself a
good doctors bill.

VOLTAGE IN TURKEY.

VOLTAGE IN TURKEY.
From c. r. B., Washington.)
In answer to your request for
voltage and current supplies in
Central Turkey, I presume that
Ankara is the place you refer to. The
voltage in Ankara Is 220 volts and
the current Is 80 cycles alternating
current).
For Instanbu, there are two dH-
ferent sections as far as electricity
is concerned, one section has 220
volts, 30 cycles, and the other has
10 volts, 30 cycles.
You will need stsp-down trans
formers, which will step the voltage
down from 220 volts to 10 volts.
If you intend to bring o radio
phone with you, suggest that you
have your phone motor converted
to 50-cycle operation or your rec
ords will run considerably slower.
