It is pointed out that against such a dictated peace, President Roosevelt strives to throw Amerien's great in-

ANSWERING THE DICTATORS Washington, Feb, 21. Asserting that "America now finds it necessary to answer the dictators in their own language," Mr. Curl Vinson, chairman of the Naval Affairs Committee urged the House of Representatives to approve the naval airbase Bill of nearly $54,000,000.

He declared during a heated de- bate on the proposal to establish a seaplane base at Guam that "the world might just as well know that America was not going to submit to being destroyed with the ather unprepared democracles"

Mr. Vinson continued: "Let no one) think that with the work being overrun by dictator Powers, it is not of the utmost Importance that we be for ever vigilant, looking to our de- fences."

MOTHER WILL NEVER FRAME THIS PICTURE

While mother will never frame this picture, she will never forget the happiness that it brought. Thanks to the magic of electricity, she can see in the X-Ray picture that her son's arm will heal perfectly,

But being thankful for elec- tricity is not new to modern mothers. For in their homes electrical appliances are today performing hundreds of tasks that in grandmother's day were drudgery.

Designing and building these fine electrical appliances, con- stantly searching for new ways

to make them better, has been the business of Westinghouse for more than fifty years. During this time, too, Westinghouse has built the motors, generators, transformers, meters, control and distribution apparatus that make electricity in the power station, and put it to useful work in industry and commerce,

You'll find that Westinghouse is one of the oldest names in electricity... its products long famous for quality. This name on any electrical product is therefore your guarantee of value and satisfaction.
