C. Hungerford in police court this morning.

ALEX AUTO SUPPLY OPEN EVENINGS MOTOR TROUBLES HINDER PINEDD {Italian Flyer Prevented From Making Start Bolama, Portuguese Guinea, West Africa, Feb. 17 (UP)—Balked at the last moment by engine trouble, Col. Francesco De Pinedo and his Italian mechanics today were working over the motors of the plane that was to have carried them last night across the South Atlantic ocean to the coast of Brazil, Time after time the heavily loaded plane, with De Plnedo seated in the cockpit, struggled to lift itself from the waters of Bo- lama harbor. But the motors fail- ed to develop sufficlent power and the pilot finally ordered the plane towed back to its moorings. The trans-Atlantic flight has been indefinitely postponed, but De Pinedo was hopeful that the fault could be corrected today and the start made tonight. Although the Itallan pilot had made no attempt to court atten- tion, the entire population of this coastal town turned out to watch the start of the flight. De Pinedo, followed by his pilot and mechanie, boarded the big Savols plane which floated, like & huge white fowl, upon the waters. The Italian settled himself in the cockpit; the signal was given, the motors roared and the plane sped toward the harbor entrance. Then the cheering dled as the | plane, after a mile run, failed to leave the water. De Pinedo wheel~ ed, brought the plane back and tried again. Again it falled. It was heavily loaded with fuel. For two hours the Itallans tried to lift the plane into the alr, but repeated rushes toward the hori- zon \Were fruitless. Chagrined, De Pinedo admitted temporary defeat and ordered the plane towed back. ‘It was the opinion of engineers that the motors had failed to de- velop thelr maximum power.

PAINT GLASS ' Electricity Serves 63,100,000— Gas Serves 52,000,000 N 1925, American gas companies gained 403,000 new consumers. This brought the total of customers served on December 31, 1925, up to 10,600,000—reaching a total population of 52,000,000. On the same date American elec- tric light and power companies had nearly 18,000,000 customers —reaching a total population of 63,100,000. To appreciate the significance of these figures, remember that gas, which was formerly used almost entirely for lighting, has practically been driven from that field by electricity. Yet today almost as large a population is served by gas as by electricity. The explanation, of course, is the fact that gas is being used more and more for heating and indus trial purposes, for which electricity is not so well suited. Where gas was once used only for lighting, it is now used only 15% for that purpose and 85% for fuel. Putnam & Co. believe in securities based on the electrical industry. The comparative importance of the gas and electrical industries, shown above, shows why we also believe in securities based on the gas industry. PUTNAM & CO.
