The most successful method of removing the carbon is to disassemble the gen erators and pass the parts through a solution of saltpeter which has been made liquid by heating to a temperature of about 2.000 degrees. The generator parts, when treated in this manner, come out entirely free of carbon, and when reassembled the generator works like new. This method, of course, can only be used when the generator renewal vol ume is great enough to justify the expense.

I I Sermon to Hep-Cats in Jive Style , >s«* Horn-Tooter Hawkins Halts Swing to Lecture Bobby Soxers By JOSEPH KAHN In the NEW YORK POST "Listen, you hep-cats, hold up a minute! I’ve stopped with the horn, and I'm gonna blow off some im portant steam.” Like a bombshelFErskine Haw kins. popular Negro orchestra lead er, breaks in on his solid swing program while playing at casinos, dance halls and parties throughout the country for the teen-agers.

You can take free art courses, music, or any other subject you’d like to take up."
