DISPELLING FOG

ELECTRIC SOLUTIONS AT~ WEMBLY.

Electrical means for banishing the smoke pall from big cities will be seen at the British Empire Exhibition in a display to be given by the British Electrical Development Association. Smoke came into the towns with the Iron Age • Wembley wilt show it going out in the Klectnc Age. The use of steam massed workers together in large communities, but the power of electricity used in rapid transportation, will redistribute them over the land.

All the marvels of which electric power is capable will be seen at Wembley. Immense masses of machinery will be displayed showing the generating of the spark, the distribution of ■ the current,^ driving power for railways and big undertakings, the lighting of mines, searchbeams and signals, the power- behind lighthouse flashes, aircraft illumination, and cable work.

Electricity in the home will be a special feature, showing the latest devices for heating, lighting cleaning, and cooking, which save labour and increase cleanliness. Homes situated away from centres of distribution will find at Wembley all the newer means for installing self-contained energy. Street lighting will be made an interesting and attractive display, with special illuminations calculated to make our cities brighter. Shop front and trade lighting will be seen at its best, with -sky signs both stationary and mobile.

The site for these displays is in the Palace of Engineering, where the Electric Development Association will have 10,000 square feet of space. The association, with every section of the industry under its banner, will show at Wembley the forward stage which electricity ha's reached. Among those who will assist the display' are municipal undertakings, private companies supplying electrical energy to the .public, manufacturers of machinery and appliances, and wiring contractors and merchants. All have combined to make the display the greatest ever held, and to show the manner in which the energy has been harnessed into safe use for-a child's toy or the driving of a gigantic ocean liner.
