New Product Introduced

The STA-WET Company of Louisville, Kentucky, has announced the introduction of the WET-BAK Instrument for positive wet bulb control. This instrument functions to automatically control the water level of the wet bulb reservoir. This assures a constant water supply of even temperature, for the wick of the wet bulb thermometer. The control is based on a positive open and a positive shut valve which tends to eliminate clogging of the valve port. This tended to occur with the "cracked" needle valve heretofore used to maintain the water level of the reservoir constant by the continuous drop by drop addition of water.

The apparatus operates by means of a special valve which responds to changes in the liquid level of the reservoir. Although this is accomplished automatically, the instrument is sufficiently sensitive as not to appreciably change the temperature of the water in the reservoir by reason of addition of new water thereto. The entire apparatus is automatic and eliminates the possibilitv of the reservoir going dry over the weekeni or at night when the kiln may be unattended. It eliminates the necessity of periodic nightly checks in the drying chamber by a lone nightwatchman, thus eliminating the possibility of his being overcome or accidently trapped.

The first installation of the WET-BAK Control was at the Tuggle Lumber Company of Louisville, Kentucky. This installation has been satisfactory in all respects.

The instrument will be marketed bv the STA-WET Company and inquiries .o,i..rrr- ing same should be addressed to this com- pany at 402 Republic Building, Louisville 2, Kentucky.

When I decided to build me a house I felt iust a little afraid

That plan and design were not quite in my line So I sought Architectural aid, And said: Show me, pray, something most recherche, For I'm weary of hanging my hat fn an early Victorian Pre-Montessorian Plain two-by-fourean flat.

The Architect puffed at his period pipe, As he sat in his Renaissance chair, And he gave me a smile in the pure Gothic style Though he spoke with a Romanesque air. Said he: If your taste is not wholly debased, The best, you are certain to find, Is the later colonial, Pseudo Baronial G. Washingtonial kind.

I thanked him politely and paid him his fee But sundry acquaintances cried, "That stuff you should shun, for it hasn't been done Since Benjamin Harrison died !" And they took me direct to a new Architect Who argued with logic compelling

For a Quasi Delsartian Post Bona Partean Wholly Beaux-Artean dwelling.

My downfall had started ; I groped in a maze Of traces, transitions and trends, And I labored anew over prints that were blue With the aid of my numerous friends. But I don't knit my brow about building plans now For all of my money is spent; And my home's an Arcadian Second-Crusadean Pink-Lemonadean Tent.

Lcrw Office Deportments

It is said that every well-equipped law office has three distinct and separate departments, as follows:

One for those who are in trouble, and trying to get out.

One for those who are out of trouble and trying to get in.

And the last for those who are out of trouble and want to stay out.

And the latter is where the big money comes from.
