THE BATTALION
So it passes, and only an excess
of street rubbish, a few dismal
drooping banners of soggy bunting,
a faint trace of “pop” lingering in
the deserted air, and a profusion of
blistered feet jand aching bunions,
remain to remind us of the glories
of a sweltering but exotic and color
ful yesterday.
Truly it was a yesterday of many
bands, much music, gorgeous Prin
cesses and loud talki but on the other
hand the prosperity of our great im
perial state is assured. Never has
there been a greater spectacle, or
magnanamous illustration -of Pros-
prity and Prohibition. Everything
was hot and exceeding, but not hap
pily, dry. Do not mistake the tone
in which I spiel my part; I am for
such gregarious occasions, where all
meet and mingle, pound shoulders,
perspire, are bored and secretly wish
themselves at home again with their
shoes off and in grateful relaxation
partaking of the fruits of the ice
box, which may or may not be home
concocted. Yes,' certainly it; imakes
for better homes, and fe,wex cafes.
I swallowed considerable smoke at
the Pageant but it was worthwhile,
tho wearing, The court was a magni
ficent setting and deserves a favor
able comment. And as for that: but
why should I talk—it didn’t cost
anything from the spectators point
of view, however high or low on the
stands that might have been.
For some tirhe I kept getting
bands and cops mixed up but after
while I got it straight: The bands
were here to make music and bring
happiness and joy to all; the cops—.
I did see one talking to a motorist
very rudely; one might say, uncon
genial. Now was that nice? A big
bruising intellectual cop trying to
show his authority by demanding
ELECTRICITY
•r: ■
the modern prospector
' '‘-T:
A STOUT heart; a burro laden with pick, shovel,
and the bare necessities of life; and the pros
pector was ready for the gold rush—Sutter’s Mill,
the Pike’s Peak country, Cripple Creek, Klondyke.
A scattered trail of half-worked claims marked
his sacrifices.
To-day mining is a business, with electricity
replacing wasteful brawn in mine and mill.
The deep mine, with electric lights, hoists, and
locomotives; the surface mine with r huge electric
shovels scooping up tons of ore in a single bite; r
the concentrating mill with its batteries of elec
trically driven machines; the steel mill with its con
stant electric heat—here are but a few of elec
tricity’s contributions to the mineral industries.
So in every industry, electricity increases produc
tion and cuts costs. It is the modern prospector,
leading the way into wider fields and tapping
undeveloped resources—that we may enjoy a finer
civilization and a richer, fuller life.
You will find this mono-'
gram on powerful motors
that drive heavy mining
machinery and on tiny
motors that drive sewing
machines. Both in industry
and in the home it is the
mark of an. organization
that;-is-, dedicated to elec
trical progress. -
