NEW USES FOUND
FOR FLOOD-LIGHT
Social Fads and Artistic Tastes
Bring Latest Innovation
to Front.
Modal fa(l.i and artistic tastes are
alike responsible for the moat recent
Innovation in electric lighting. It la
an extended uie of flood-lighting,
which has for a number of yearn been
uaed effectively on public occasions.
Wealthy people are finding uses foi
the tlood-llght which will make thla
atyle of illumination more frequent
than would otherwise be the caae.
Big society weddings in New York.
Washington. Philadelphia and Boston
are adopting the flood-light with enthusiasm.
Night weddings In the ultra-faahlonable
set in any of thcae
cities are scene* for Hood-lighting effects.
The society folk are also using
small Hood-lighting projectors to
keep watch over their automobiles.
The projector is usually mounted on
the porch and trained on the automobile
as the latter stands at the curb,
allowing a close and easy wattfh to be
kept on the machine and discouraging
auto thieves successfully.
Tile illumination of the handsome
stained glass windows of churches
haa become a new field for the use of
the flood-light. The windows are declared
to appear under favorable
treatment in this manner and to have
a spiritual value.
Since the spectacular Illumination
of Bartholdis Statue of Liberty, in
New York Harbor, by -tt<? G-E floodlight
projectors, and the still more
conspicuous flood-lighting of the I apitol
at Washington during the inauguration
ceremonies of 1917, by MG-H
flood-light projectors, the adoption of
flood-lighting has been rapid.
Today there are three score of uses
for the flood-light projector. The
most spectacular among them are the
Illumination of carnivals, parades,
parks, pageants, outdoor theatricals,
Athletic grounds, monuments, race
tracks, rifle ranges, skating ponds
and rinks, theater fronts, toboggan
slides, hockey links, historic buildings.
clock towers, flags, fountains,
arid exposition grounds.
Discoveries in the research laboratories
of the General Electric Company
produced the style of Mazda Incandescent
lamp which has made pos.
*ible the flood-lighting projectors.
Until it was known that tungsten
metal could be drawn Into a tine wire.
Incandescent lamps were still in an
imperfect stage. Today tungsten
wires so line that they measure but
Four ten-thousandths of an inch?

BREAKING WATER POWER
RECORDS IN CALIFORNIA
At the Wise power plant in California
is the latest single discharge
water turbine in the world, being
ibout 2*.000 horsepower. To get some
dea of the power of such a machine,
magine a string of horses, six
abreast and six miles long; that
would be the equivalent of horsepower
vested in that one unit. However,
this record will soon be broken.
There is to he installed in the Kern
river by the California Kdison Company
a new' plant with a unit of
2.1.000 horsepower. Later on this
record will be broken for the Great
Western PoAer Cumpany at its new
Caribou plant, where a :!n.000-unlt
will be installed.
California has developed in hydroelectric
energy per capita six times
more than the rest of the Cnited
States. Miracles have been wrought
In pumping water into the vast arid
lands, where barrenness formerly
reigned supreme. Fertile fields of
barley and prolific orchards flourish
on land previously inhabited by Jack
rabbits.
PEPC0 DISSATISFIED
WITH RATE INCREASE
S. R. Bowen. vice president of the
Potomac Electric Power Company.
\esterdsy expressed regret at the
action of the Public Utilities Commission
in allowing only one hal* of
a cent Increase In the charge for electric
current to householders.
"We believe we are entitled to more
(Than cents per kilowatt hour."
said Mr. Bowen. "Of course, the Increase
granted will help I he company
to a degree, but we feel that the evidence
presented to the commission
Justified a greater Increase."
These new rates cannot become effective
on September IR. as provided
by the order, unless the District Supreme
Court either modifies or abolishes
the existing Injunction which
restrains the commission from making
any rate changes.
PROTEST OPEN TOP RULING.
Protest has been made to the Interstate
Commence Commission
against the order of the commission
prohibiting the use of open top coal
cars by wagon mines without tippling
loading devices.
Owners of the wagon mines In
western Pennsylvania, Indiana. Ohio,
and Kentucky appeared before the
commission and asked for a modification
of the order.

OMELETS TASTY WHEN
PREPARED ON GRILL
There are two kinds of omelets,
foamy omelets In which white.-*
and yolk* are beaten separately and
French omelet* in which thev are
beaten together The proportions are
the same in both kinds; for each egg
allow one tablespoon of liquid, either
water, milk.or for an orange omelet,
orange juice, one eighth teaspoon o
salt and half teaspoon of butter.
Water makes a more tender omelet
and one that will stand tip longer
than does milk or cream.
To make the foamy omelet, beat the
yokes and whites separate!* and fold
the yolk into the white. Have the
pan of electric grill warm, not hot.
Spread the mixture evenly over the
buttered pan. After cooking on top
of the Krill In the shallow pan until
tho under side of om slat is golden
brown, dry it for a fi?r moments
beneath the colls, then fold on hot
platterr Garnish with sprigs of parsley
or if it is an orange omelet, witt)
thin slices of orange.
i TELLS HOW TO COOK
OMELETTES ON GRILL
In the hotels of France the traveler
will often encounter sweet omelettes
as desserts. In the main the omelette
itself is the same as that made in
electric grill and served on the break
fast table, the sweetness being due to
1 added Ingredients or to stuffing. To
make them light, the whites of e*gs
are beaten separately, and a doion or
so of butter dice scattered through
the beaten eggs
Omelette aux apricots Wash several
times In lukewarm water about
one pint of dried apricot*. Let them
