Gumbo has a tend: ency to yield and when a bulldink rests upon it alone there is possibil- ity of cracking. For this reason the builders went below the gumbo to find a solid base foF the structure. ‘The Natrona County high school’s equipment 1s the most nodern obtainable. It consists of 600 fixtures. There are sixty bells in connection with an automatic pro- xram system. These bells ring sim- u:taneously {n ail rooms of the bulld- ing and are controlled by an electric clock . There also is an {nter-com: municating telephone systern with sixty telephones in the various rooms and connected to a main switchboard in the « ffice of the su- perintendent. Both these systems were Instatled by t..c Electric Sup- ply and Construction company of Casper. The lgh:ing fixtures, which ure remarkable for thelr beauty also were installed by this concern, The lighting has been installed witlr the Idea of giving the greatest effictency white at the same time saving the eyes of those who must work by elec tric light. The designs are such as to harmonize with the general tn terlor of the building.

HEATING PLANT OF NEW AlGh Ia ULTRA-MODERN Efficiency, Economy and Comfort Secured by Fine System. The C. A. Diinham company of Chicago which supplied the Dunham heating syste: for the high school has expert service men and engi. neers in this vicinity and an experi- encea neating engineer in the state. This arrangement makes it possible for the company to give quick and efficlent servfve at all times, besides expert counsel. The firm has a branch sales office at Cheyenne. A. S. Meyring is man- ager of that office. Mr. Meyring looks after the company’s business In Wyoming, where the Dunham service is widely used. There are many points te the Dun- ham system which make it ideal for such a@ building as the Natrona Coun- ty high school. In the first place it ntfers heating comfort. It alro 1s simple in operation with no complex parts to go wrong. It is quick to re- spond to various demands placed up: on it, and 1s absolutely noiseless There is no tapping or other anno: ance. The Dunham system also gives a long service, which together with the fact that it offers maximum heat for the fuel used, makes it mort economical, The Dunham system was selected for the Natrona county high school In view of ‘all the demands to which a high school heating system is put. An inspection of the system Install. ed here is of educational value. To heat such a large structure from one plant and to arrive at uniformity is no small tark but {t has been accom- plished by the Dunham system. genie Ie elias English women are showing great Interest in flying and are poining the new light ueroplane clubs in considerable numbers.
