CONSERVATION
PLANNED FOR
FUEL SUPPLY
“Water power development is an-'
other important subject that will be
considered. Franklin T. Griffith of
Portland, Ore., is the chairman of the
committee having it in charge. This |
subject is of great interest to the '
general consuming public, large and
small, and our researches will deal
with the manner in which water power
may he utilized to meet the needed
development for the support of new
manufacturing enterprises, and also
for fuel conservation.
“S. M. Kennedy 't Los Angeles
heads the committee on service, which
will deal with matters pertaining to
service and efficiency. If a city or
concern, for instance, is using what
have been proved to be uneconomical
methods in obtaining light and power,
due to certain local conditions, the
committee wrill be able to rectify such
troubles and recommend equally ef-j
ficient but less expensive systems. Lee
H. Newbert of San Francisco has ac
cepted the chairmanship of the com
mittee on co-operation in industry, and
M. S. Sloan of Brooklyn heads the
committee on electrical resources of
the nation, an analytical and reference
body.
"‘We purpose taking the public and
the state regulatory authorities into
our confidence and demonstrating that
we are sincere in our plans to obtain
for the consumer the maximum of elec
tric light and power at the lowest pos
sible rate consistent with good serv
ice. It is because of this fact that the
industry is divided into so many com
panies, with so many differing condi
tions, that I believe the idea of co
operation and publicity will work for
increased efficiency and economy.
■i do not mean by this that inef
ficiency or waste is general in the elec
tric industry. There are isolated in
stances where plants are being run
uneconomically. But the industry is j
changing, and what might be good
practice today may be obsolete five
years hence. It will simply be our pur
pose to keep pace with the develop
ment of the business and help every
one to benefit by improved methods as
they arise.”
Other prominent men in the electric
industry who are interested in the
project and who compose the public
policy committee of the national asso
ciation are: John A. Britton, San
Francisco; Nicholas F. Brady, Henry
L. Doherty, John W. Lieb, Thomas E.
Murray, S. Z. Mitchell, M. R. Bump
and Frank W. Smith. New York; H.
G. Bradlee, Boston; Joseph B. McCall
and Walter H. Johnson, Philadelphia;
H. A. Wagner, Baltimore, and Martin
J. Insull, Chicago.
ARCTIC EXPLORERS
ARE HEADED FOR NOME
Martin Killin and Adelbert Gumaer,
the last two members of Vilhjalmur
"Stefansson’s Canadian Arctic expedi
tion to leave the Arctic, are reported
aboard the trading schooner Anna
Olga, which is working its way toward
Nome along the northeren coast of
Alaska.
Killin and Gumaer were not mem
bers of Stefansson’s original party.
They were members of a party Stor
ker Storkerson, Stefansson's lieuten
ant, led onto an ice floe last year in
the hope that the Arctic drifts would
carry the floe westward to Siberia.
After spending eight months on the
ice, the men found themselves about
fifty miles from their starting point.
They all came ashore and Storkerson
and one other member headed over
land for the outside world. Killin and
Gumaer boarded the Oiga and started
for Nome.
Storkerson’s trip outside was his
first in eleven years. He has been an
explorer, trader and trapper along the
northern rim of the continent ever
since 1908. He expects to associate
himself with Stefansson in handling
the Canadian government’s proposal
to stock the northern tundra plains
•with reindeer.

Cutting the Nation’* Tire Bill.
“Forty mnkes of motor tires were
,submitted to the bureau of standards
by the office of tlie quartermaster gen
eral,” writes Thomas H. Uzzell In Ev
erybody's. “They were given labora
tory ‘durability runs,’ after which they
were nutopsied by the rubber special
ists. Their carcasses’ were cut up and
the pieces boiled, roasted, stretched.
The results were discouraging. Even
the best of them seemed to suffer
from improper ‘toughening.’
“So into their little rubber-mill went
the experts, with notes furnished them
by tlie tire manufacturers, and pro
ceeded to make up some tire rubber
which had the proper degree of tough
ness. They succeeded. They passed
out the word: ‘The trouble is that you
makers are not sifting your zinc oxid
before mixing it with the rubber com
pound.’
“The inakers began to sift. Better
tires resulted. Some $30,000,000 were
saved to the government. And today
you are enjoying a cut in your tire bill
bjr getting better tires—a result of
that experiment with zinc oxid.”
Successful Woman Trapper.
Trapping predatory animals Is
scarcely the kind of occupation In
which a woman might be expected to
distinguish herself, even with the great
extension of the range of feminine ac
tivities to which we have been accus
tomed lately. Mrs. Ada Tingley of Ida
ho, is reported, however, by the North
western division of the United States
biological survey, to be so successful
in this employment that her male ri
vals are finding it hard to keep up with
tier records. Her victims are mainly
coyotes, hob-cuts, wolves, lynxes and
mountain lions. At 8:30 every morn
ing Mrs, TU'gle.v mounts her cftvuse
and rides oft to her traps, of which
she runs six lines, 6t 50 each. She us
es a fish bait prepared by a secret
formula. On occasion she can use a
.32 caliber rifle with almost perfect
accuracy.

I iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin m pjE unprecedented amount
§1 CONCERNING I r e *1 1 • •
j§ OUR I of family washing coming
I Matrons into our laundry recently,
| iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiF being unusual for this time of
year, naturally excited our curi
osity as to where it all came
from, so we investigated.
In going down the names of
more than six hundred of our
regular customers, we found
| that the most progressive and
1 up-to-date women are among
our patrons. We do not mean
| that only the well-to-do women
are our customers, but we mean
the women who live in well
kept homes, wTho know how to
maintain them economically,
iBiiiiiiiiiiiiip and at the same time, how to re
! SEND IT lieve themselves of tasks in Volv
ic TO JONES . 11 ■ i» , i*
ing drudgery or tending to dis
turb the equilibrium of the fam
ily home life.
We found them to be women
who have time to take an inter
est in things outside of their
homes without neglecting them,
and who employ themselves at
home in ways that are more
profitable and pleasing.
Brainy women who think out
their household problems, who
look to the future—as business
men do in their important busi
| ■■■—i.- ness affairs-women who have
I modern done and could do a home wash
| ^a0unneDsRY ing as good as any housewife,
| phqneT and women with plenty of
| iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii strength and energy, too.
• But above all, women who
have reasoned out that in the
long run washing done at home
or by inexperienced persons un
der unsanitary conditions, find
that the losses are more than the 1
• • ^
gains—in money, time, comfort,
health and the attention to their
.V
families which is the right of
every family to expect and the
joy of every right - thinking
woman to give. . -- ^ i |
You can appreciate the feel
ing of pride and satisfaction that |
was ours in making such a dis
covery, yet we found, too, that
there were still a few names
that should be there, but are not.
The only excuse we could make
for them is that they have not
yet learned the advantages to
be derived in the long run by
sending the washing to an es
tablishment of over fifteen
years’ experience, that washes
and handles clothes by the most
modern, scientific and sanitary
methods — handled mostly by
strong, clean and healthy em
ployes, who are an asset to the
community—also that it is bet
ter to pay a few cents more for
the satisfaction that would be
theirs, the money they would
save by longer wear of clothes.
Begin now. Let us show that
we can do for you what we are
doing for hundreds of others.
