MATCH WON'T BLOW OUT.
Lighter lgnites 1t When 1t Is Inside
the Lamp

Persons who have nsnu up a score
of matches tyring to light a lamp out
doors on a windy day will appreciate
the value of the invention of a resi-
dent of the Windy city. This is a lamp
with a lighter attachment which ig
mites a friction match after it is in
side the lamp, thus precluding the
danger of having the match blown
out The lighter attachment consists
of a tube entering the lamp from one
end and reaching the wick. AL the
lower end of this tube are little prongs
which engage the head of the match
as it is pushed through them and set
it ablaze. The match is placed in a
smaller cylinder which fits into the
tube. Automobiles, bicyclists and all
persons who have had their tempers
ruffled by trying to light a lamp In
a gale will hail this little invention
with joy. Though it has been de-
signed in connection with a certain
style lamp, it will probably be adapt
ed for use in other types.

to reduce child mortality in the con-

Commissioner Bingham which pro-

number of children killed by trucks
and automobiles has increased so
rapidly recently that in several Sec

traffic while the children are at play
in the streets.
Several aldermen believe the plan
to be a good one and have asked the
police to test it on East Side streets.
