Whatever the work to be done the power the force of a man’s arm, there is a General Electric motor that will do it faith fully for a lifetime at a cost of a few cents an houi , whether it needs of an eleohant or The elephant is man’s most intelligent helper. But—consider this interesting comparison: An elephant is much larger than the electric motor of a “y ar d er ” or logging machine. The “ysircler” has the power of twenty elephants; it handles clusters of logs; it works dependably, twenty-four hours at a stretch, if necessary. Twenty elephants would eat daily 10,000 pounds of green food, which a corps of attendants must gather. A motor “eats” nothing but electricity, supplied at the throw of a switch. Power used in the modern industrial world is applied through electric motors—tireless “iron elephants” that are relegating antiquated ma chines to museums, along with such oldtime household articles as wash-tubs and ordinary irons—and stuffed elephants. 201-65DH GENERAL ELECTRIC GENERAL EIECTRIC C O M P A N* Y, SCHENECTADY, NEW YORK College Saturday night for a demon stration of his abilities.

The trip was made in three big busses that were hired from Temple. The men left here about five-thirty Tuesday morning and will return about seven tomorrow evening. Ain’t Nature Grand? It was a beautiful spring night. The moon hung overhead like a green cheese and poured out its golden efful- gency like a mist. The stars twinkled drowsily. In a neighboring shrub a mocking bird poured out his soul in song. There was just enough breeze to lightly stir the golden curls of the Angel at my side. And that Angel! Strolling as light as a cloud at my side with her hand resting upon my arm. The kind moonlight revealed to me her soul-piercing eyes, her appeal ing lips and the warm, soft curves of her body, and the breeze wafted to my nostrils her faint perfume. I was intoxicated by her presence. We reached the edge of the preci pice and stopped. Far below us the river rippled over the rocks and in the distance the lights of farmhouses gleamed like the jewels in a theatre.

Then I picked her up and with a terrific swing hurled her to the rocks far below. She had kissed me with her eyes open.
