BALTIMORE, July 5 P).-
Maryland truckers will begir
feeling "the real effects" of the

Thomas E. Waterman, execu-
tive secretary of the Maryland

ployes in this State already have

THE RESULTS are fine
enough to bear letting other
WashingtonianS see. In a few
short pages, Tom has gotten
the feel of the city.
"Since your mother spent
some time in the United
States and some years in
Washington" he began, Il
thought you might enjoy this
scrapbook about life in the
Capital of this country. -.
Washington has a very
exciting history. 1t was de-
signed by Charles l'Enfant,
who came from your own
country. -.
In many ways, the layout
of the city resembles that of
Paris. For example, the Capt.
tol would correspond to the
Arc de Triomphe, the Mall to
the Champs ElyseeS, and the
Washington Monument to the
obelisk on the Place de la
Concorde.
Americans are extremely
proud of the beauty of their
Capital, and have gone to
great lengths to make it into
a national showpiece and a
garden city. ="

carrying electricity at a rate ano
amount never before experienced
in the company'S so years OF
producing power.
It was a new record for PepcC
in what company officials term
instantaneous peaks At thai
moment, $4,000 kilowatts were
screamed for-by countless all
conditionerS, fans, assorted light
bulbs, electrical appliances and
of course, television.
New Records on Way
Ohcials of the company die
not Jump with glee and announce
"a new record" 1t had been only
five days before that the pre-
vious record was set = 85l ,00(
kilowattS-and they expect Mon
days mark to be broken soon
The trend is now we'll estab'
lished; each summer Pepco il
being called on to produce more
power.
The chief reason. officials say
undoubtedly is air-conditioning
Since its wide spread inception
after World War II, Pepco-
like other electric companies
has been finding peak" load
registered in summer instead o.
winter.
Formerly, peak loads wer'
reached in December or Janu'
airy. Dark nights called for light
cold nights for heat. In the win
ter of 1858, for example, a peal
of 900 kilowatts was a new
record. 1t was quickly broker
that same year, however, when
in September, turbines wound III
and turned out 100000 kilowatt
at 2:30 pm.
Last years summer peak wa
reached on August when al
output of 10000 kilowattS wa
called for. In 1854 the peak wa
TAI, 900 kilowatts, set on Sep

New Uses For Power
While Pepco has enjoyed /;
steady rise in customers-327 ,00l
in 1856 compared to $4,000 il
1933-this rise has not kept pac,
with the amount of electricit!
called for. What has happened
officials point out, is that thu
customers are finding more use
! for electricity.
The home owner or apartment
dWeller has a television set o.
air conditioning, perhaps both
and other items which require
steady power over long period,
of time. But Pepco officials also
cite as reason for the tremen-
douS increase in power the fac
that more and more building,
are built with, or have turned Il
complete air-conditioning.
Must Plan Expansion
Pepco is not bursting its wire:
to deliver all this power, officials
point out. While peak loads have
fallen safely beneath an esti.
mated capacity the company
can always buy or borrow power
from neighboring power com.
panies to meet any sudden, heavy
demand And barring damaginf
summer electrical storms
Pepco officials can pretty vel
guess what the demand will bt
and be ready to supply it. They
expect, for example, heavy de-
mands later this summer wher
both political conventions will be
televised and air conditioners viii
be rumbling to keep the viewer
cool.

How does a 12-year-old boy
view his city?
The thoughts of one-Tom

FRANCHISE is 8 and lives in

never been to the United

When Toms American his

He collected postcard pic

time tranSlating Washington

Tractor Overheating?
By E. B. WILSON

IF YOUR TRACTOR boils away its
water. knocks considerably and has
loss of power, it's time to see what's
wrong, but a little steam escaping is
not sufficient cause for alarm. A hot
motor $50 to 200 degrees) is more eff
ficient, has more power and wears less
than a cool engine. So don't be too
quick to jerk out the thermestat or in
stall a new water pump.
Overflow of cooling water can occur
when the radiator is too full. About
2 inches of space should be left in the
top of the radiator for expansion.
Causes of overheating include:
1. Pulling too heavy load.
2. Using a fuel of too low anti-knock
quality.
g. Loose fan belt.
A. Faulty water pump.
5. Ignition timed too late
6. Weak ignition.
Z. Carburetor set too lean.
8. Plugged radiator fins.
9. Collapsed or deteriorated hose con-
nections.
10. Badly lined cooling system.
Light cooling system deposits can be
removed by using solution of washing
soda. Mix 8 pounds of ordinary washing
soda with 7 gallons of clean soft water.
Pour it in the radiator and run motor
till it is hot Drain, flush and fill with
clean water.
Commercial cleaners are available
for heavily lined cooling systems. Use
them as recommended by the manufac-
turer.
