Let “Ole Man Sun” Do It. Scientists hope to utilize the sun's rays in power plants in time. It has been estimated that enough sunshine falls on a house roof to supply the power needs of an average family; that solar radiation is' equal to 7,000 horse- power an acre. At present it is possible to draw electrical energy from solar ra- diation, but it is expensive to do so on a large scale. Many scientists, though, look to the sun's rays to supply the world's future power plants. LANSBURGH'S Z 7th, 8th and E Sts.—NAtional 9800 No Connection With Any Other Washington Store NEW!
