The submarine Ciro Menotti, which was launched at' Spezia on December 30, is one of a class of six laid down for Italy in 1927-28 The others are the Santarosa, Ban diera, Manara, Settembrini, and Settimo, They have a Aurface displacement of 870 tons, and sub- merged of 1,040 tons. On the surface their engines of 3,000 home-power give them a speed of 171⁄2 knots; under water they have motors of 1,400 horse-power cap-hind able of giving them a speed of nine knots. Each vessel has one 4-in. gun and eight torpedo tubes. The type is thus very similar to the "L" class which have hitherto formed the bulk of the British flotillas. Larger submarines are building in Italy, such as the Fieramosca, of 1,378 tons on the Burface, capable of 10 knots speed, and armed with one 4.7-in. gun and six tubes. This type is also .Atted to carry mines and a sen-;

IT'S ALWAYS SUMMER-TIME IN THE KITCHEN.
It's always summor-time in your Kitchen and the dangers of food contamination are present as long as it is possible for the temporaturo in your refrigerator to rise over søtty derrocs.
Physicians agree that 50 degrees is the darigur point in food preservation; above that temperature bacteria multiply alariningly, Muisture too helps them thrive. But the constant dry cold of the General Electric Refrigerator checks their growth effectively.
Faithfully, quietly, automatically-every hour of the day and night the Gonoral Electric Refrigerator gives you the perfect refrigeration that safeguards health. It makes plenty of ice cubes, operates without needing to be oiled, creates no Radio interferenco, and has an accessible frecting regulator.
♫
Important, too, is the fact that it is the only refrigerator which has an all-steel cabinet. It cannot warp-its doors cannot sag. It is the perfect cabinet for the safe'and simple mechanism which is placed on top in an hérmetically saaled steling casing.
An amazing record has been croated in that there are more tion 350,000 General Electric Refrigerators in use and no- . owner has ever spent a single cent for repairs, Consider this record.
