Searchlight to Pierce
, Skies Here for Miles.
From Fort Worth to Weatherford,
Decatur, Denton, in a flash. Im-
possible? Not so, for the new
500,000-candlepower searchlight in-
stalled on the Farmers and Mechan-
ics National Bank will do just that
With a radius of forty miles In
clear weather, fifteen miles on misty
or foggy nights and between one and
two miles searching range, the most
powerful light in the Southwest will
soon become a beacon to the weary
birdman seeking a place to land bis
airplane after a long journey.
The new searchlight, manufactured
by the American Gas Accumulator
Company of Elizabeth, N. J., with
its sixteen-ineh effective dimeter,
working upon a revolving and hori-
zontal axis, will give to Fort Worth
a front place in the big cities of the
nation.
Philadelphia, Cleveland, Dayton
and several other of the leading cities
have installed searchlights equal to
the one being installed on the top of
the Farmers and Mechanics National
Bank Building.
The light consists of a cylindrical
body inside of which are mounted the
Mangin mirror and electric bulb that
forces the nays to traverse forty
miles through the air. It will have
a bulb of l,50>-watt capacity pro-
ducing 500,000-candlepower rays.
Every night the F. & M. search-
light will throw its 500,000 candle
light beam into the clouds, rotating
’ and on clear nights may be
Each night the
light will spell Fort Worth to the
thousands of inhabitants and trav-
elers who enter the radius of its
rays.
Its brilliant light will speak for
the Farmers and Mechanics National
Bank its belief in the future and
greatness of Fort Worth and the de-
sire of the institution to be known
as one of the leading progressive in-
situtions of Fort Worth.—Fort Worth

mediately announces that it must
be polished before it goes in her
newly decorated dining room. Mr.
Man discovers, too, that the burner
is a bit wobbly and he decides to
have the stove expert come out the
next day and look over their faithful
old friend. For he knows that his
stove, like his fliweit, needs a
thorough cleaning before it can be
expected to give good service.
So the next morning Mr. Expert
comes out. He says to Mr. Man’s
wife, “Look here, Madam, you aren’t
going to put up this stove without
its being connected to a vent and
this old rubber • hose is worn out
and leaky. You ought to have a
metal hose. Rubber |tose is as
obsolete as a crank on a. flivver.”
Mr. Man’s wife never heard about
this but Mr. Expert begins to tell
her how dangerous rubber hose and
a ventless stove can be. And this
is what he tells her:
Many of the headaches, sore
throats, and colds .that Mr. klan,
his wife and kiddies have every
winter can be traced to the poison-
ous gasses that remain in the room
if there is no vent pipe. One of
the principal products of combustion
is carbon dioxide, andwhile it is not
poisonous, it will not support
animal life. If the burner is not
properly adjusted another gas is
given off, carbon monoxide, the.
same deadly poison that comes from
the exhaust of an automobile.
Heaters without vent pipes should
never be burned m a closed room.
Use ideal gas heater is made
with a closed combustion chamber
which is connected with a vent pipe,
but is not open* to the air of die
room. A heater of this kind can
be burned continuously without
vitiating the air in the slightest
way. Further information concern-
ing safe gas heaters may be ob-
tained by writing the State Health
Department at Austin.
Rtf -v-
Put Vent Pipes
On Gas Heaters.
With the first breath of autumn
tingling in the air, the Man of the
household wakes up some invigor-
ating morning with the discovery
that it is time to “put up the stoves.”
So that evening when he comes home
he goes to the garage, the attic, or
the basement and arouses the family
heater from its summer sleep. And
since Mr. Man is a Texan, where
gas is one of the principals fuels,
the stove is probably a gas heater.

These figures are most significant.
They illuminate and illustrate the
tw<j divergent theories of taxation
held by the Democratic and Republi-
can parties, as to upon whom taxa-
tion should fall, as to whose burden
should most be lightened.
THE DAY WILL COME.
The San Francisco Chronicle says
that the most dangerous disease
attacking America at the present
is the law-making mania of 48 state
legislature™ and the national Cong-|
ress.
No man living today knows for a
certainty that he is not breaking
some law when he goes about his
daily tasks.
New laws are enacted at the
request of every reformer who comes 1
along with the notion that he was
put on earth as his brother’s keeper.
The day will come when we will
elect men to the legislature and to Congress is the G. O. P. idea of a
Congress not to make laws, but to safe way out of a deadlock in the

A. L Zuspann has an JElberte
tree in his yard that has set a new
bearing record by producing a second
crop of nice peaches during the
year. The tree is several years old
but this is the first attempt at double
production. The second crop is small
size, but is fine flavor and has a
seed very similar to that of the
apricot.
At a regular meeting of the City
Council last week an order was
passed granting the Texas Light
and Power Co. the right to build
their lines Into Bridgeport. No
contract of any kind was entered
into, and no time has been specified
by the Company as to when it ex-
pects to invade the new territory
w|ith its wires. Permission only
has been given to build to Bridgeport
whenever it gets .reedy. But the
new system intends coming. There
is no doubt about that.
