Evidently this weather” had little effect on his time. tor Earle was able to breeze through a 40 in :20 while in his first year at Armour. For his efforts, Earle received a minor award. At the end of his first season with the team, i-luxhold turned over on his back and commenced to be the sprint man in the medley race. Then. to the amazement of everyone, lluxhoid kept on going one day and swam a hundred in 1:14. This was good enough for Earle to keep swimming the hun- dred. so he did. Last season he swam the hundred and also the medley. This year he did the same, and in one meet, against Mary ville, Huxhold swam in the free style relay. Huxhold can do a 1:10 hundred, and has been clocked doing the 40»yard leg of the medley in under :24.

The chart which was drawn with lines of different colors, depicted the sys— tem of transmitting power used by the Edison Co. in Chicago and outlying suburbs. it showed the exact amount of power which is produced by the various stations in the system and at what time of the day the peak in power con- sumption is reached. in the early days of operating the power systems, the output sup- plied ‘oy the Edison Co. in the Chicago area was about 28,000 kilowatts. However, since that time it has increased to 1.700.000 kilowatts. The power is used for the elevated lines, street car lines, and in industry where a large amount of power is consumed.
