INTERRUPTIONS IN ELECTRICAL SERVICE WILL BE ELIMINATED WITH GONLETION OF IMPROVEMENTS Boiler Installatian’ Will, Furic? Eyest Rese se Unit Available Since Fire Last Year With Forty Per Cent Increase in Juice Demand New improvements now being completed at the plant of the Na- trona Power Company will enlarge facilities for the generation of electrical current to the extent that frequent interruptions in the serv- ice will be a matter of history within ten days or two weeks. The main unit of this addition is the installation of a new 525-horsepower CALIFORNIA TO FIGHT BAN ON WINE LIQUORS SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. fornia grape growers will seek an 9.—Cali- injunction to ment of presidential war-time prohi- bition. - prevent the enforce-, NATRONA COUNTY TRIBUNE boiler, which was delivered to the company under war conditions and will soon be ready for operation to] relieve conditions which had their in- ception in the fire of last winter. Aside from conclusions which might have been formed from inter- ruptions in the service, patrons in general are unfamiliar with the hand- icap under which the power company has been operating for the past year. With purchases of new equipment governed by war restrictions, admit- ting of interminable del: the con-- cern has only recently been able to add its equipment to the end that it could be built up to a point where it is commensurate with the de- mands of local consumption. A uniform overland of 40 per cent which the plant has carried during recent months furnishes perhaps the best evidence of the difficulties un- der which service of any kind has been maintained. Generators have been speeded up beyond their normal capacity to carry the load as indi- cated by the fact that one turbine generator which is rated at 750 kilo- watts consistenly transmits a current of 1150 kilowatts to the lines. When the city pumping plant went out of commission some two weeks ago the city appealed to the power company to carry this additional load, amount- ing to 150 horsepower, and the ma- chinery was speeded up another notch, Interruptions in the service under such conditions have been due to leaky boilers, which could not be shut down for repair without cutting off a proportionate supply of electrical! current and with the completion of the new boiler a reserve unit will be available to provide the power when other boilers are temporarily out of commission. With the plant operated at full capacity as at present much of the energy is spent in the boilers and when the fire is finally drenched by the bursting of a pipea shutdown is inevitable. With the new boiler in operation it will be possible to keep them in complete repair. Other improvements are in course of installation, such as a new switch- board. that will make the Natrona plant one of the best equipped in the west when finished. In view of the fact that the public is prone to accept “snap” judgment, it will be agreeable to learn that periodical inconvenience is to be eliminated and satisfactory Bervice will be subject only to un- avoidable accidents which border on catastrophe. FATHERLESS CHILDREN OF FRANCE ROLL NOW NUMBERS FORTY NAMES “Do your iontiatnsy shoppititr) early and get your choice of the Fatherless Children of France” is the slogan adopted by the local commit-!| tee which is working for the “hy proxy adoption” of at least 100 fatn- erless= French children by Natrona County citizens before January first. The Society for the Prevention of Useless Giving would also heartily | endorse the movement to adopt French children instead of giving so many useless and inefficient gifts that usually slip into the Christmas lists of the best of us. | It takes but $36.50 to keep one of | these children for one year at home| with its mother to enjoy the home in-| fluences, the home religion and to receive ali the benefits of home life rather than that of institutions. Ev- ery child whose father has died fight- ing for France and for her Allies, who is certified to be in need and who is under the care of mother or relatives, is eligible to the help that) America can give. About forty children have already been adopted by Casperites and the honor roll as printed last week has been increased by the following names: Charles Ertz, one; Mrs. C. E. Atarr, one; Mrs. Ralph Van Sant, one;; Joe Mansfield, two; John M. Kauss. one: ;Othon J. Cacharelio one; the Elks Lodge, one. FOOLS LOAN SALESMEN; JANITOR TAKES $900 Kansas City, Mo—*“What’s the smallest amount I can give?” asked John Boylan, a janitor at the Commerce building, of a team of Liberty loon workers. “Fifty dollar: replied the team taptain, “but we nope you will—” “See you after dinner when I talk to my wife,” Boylan replied. Three hours later, when the team returned, Boylan handed them a sack saying: “That’s all we can now.” In it was $900.

THE SEA" NEW DIVERSION FOR SOCIETY IN IRIS FILM PLAY Old Christopher Columbus was no happier when he discovered the Wes~, tern aemispiere than the millionaire society” of Bar Harbor, Me., was when it officially adopted its latest fad. The adoption all came about throughsthe arrival of more than 200 persons—mostly mermaids and sirens —who were to participate in making a sub-sea picture. At first the millionaires took only passing interest in the young women. But after the mosily-chiffon-clad beauties began posing 6n the rocks and by the sea—vwell, _—_—— | different. things were P By the end of the first week the millionaire cottagers wece vying with each other for the best vantage points on the Otter Creek cliffs.

He quoted statistics to show that in 1850 the wage earner obtain-} ed 23% cents of every dollar’s worth of value he created, but that in’ 1910 he got only 164 cents. He added: “Forme when the laborer got 23 cents in wages for each dollar of | his product, panics occurred about once. ig 20 years, as witness 1837,) 1857, 1877. Since real wages shrunk to 16 cents on the dollar, panics roll around more frequently as the record wshow. 1884, 1894, 1907, 1914. “Nothing influences our individual health more-than severe changes in our economic life. During busy pe- | riods workers are literally rushed to death. During panicky periods, the) workers and employers spend a large part of their energy fretting their lives away.

To keep health or improve health means increased power to produce.” The speaker then gave a labor pro- gram for health and safety which in- cluded the following provisions: “Continued agitation for a shorter workday to a maximum of eight hours for’ all manual toilers; demand for a higher minimum wage for aj) labor; release from work at least one full day in seven; elimination of the sweat-shop system; enforcement of rigid child labor laws; abolition of |night work by women and minors; equal pay for equal work regardless ot sex.” a page Money td Loan on chattels.
