THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH,

"WHAT IS A WATT?"

• The man who reads your elec tric meter will probably explain that a court is a unit of electrical power that 1000 of them

make a kilowatt.

He may also say that a wait is far more than this. The watts that you use are the "muscles" that drive the motors of your electric refrigerator, washer, vacuum cleaner and fan. They furnish clean, even heat for cooking and ironing. They far nish power for the wheels of in- dustry, as well as light for streets at night.

Building the equipment that makes and delivers these watts, and the electrical servants that put them to work, is the busi- ness of Westinghouse. For more than fifty years Westinghouse has been the pioneer of new and better ways to make and use electricity. Whenever new needs arise. Westinghouse research and products play an important part in satisfying them.

The name of Westinghouse on any electrical product as- sures you of the utmost in qual- ity and dependability.

BOY WHO STOLE YACHT SAYS HE WAS USED AS CATSPAW

His Midnight Date with "Mr. Thomson'

Head Boy, cricket captain and victor ludorum of Lyme Regis Grammar School when he left last term, David Agar Watton (18), son of the school's headmaster, told a remarkable story when charged at Lyme Regis recently with stealing a yacht.

In an alleged statement to the police he mentioned a "mystery man," who was stated to have used him as a catspaw to sell the stolen yacht.

Sergeant Clarke read a statement in which Wation was quoted as saying that he spoke French and became acquainted with a man who offered him a job collecting curios in France. The man gave the name of David F. Thomson.

They were to meet again on [June 16 at 10 p.m. to go to Lon- don, but Thomson sent another man to say he was sailing from Southampton to Exmouth and
