RACE OF THE METERS
Striking Contrast in Economy of
Two Incandescent Lamps Attracts
Public Attention.

An interesting and novel window
display is now being made by the
Oregon Power company at its office
on Court street, in the form Of a
practical demonstration of the eff
lieiency of one form Of incandeseent
as compared with another Of ap-
parenty the same equivalent. Side
by side the two lamps are kept
burning day and night. One is a
"earbon" and the other is "Maz-
da." The former consumes so watts
of electricity while the latter uses
40. although both are 80 candle
power and give off practically the
saEle light. Over each and connect
ed with the feed wire is an ordin-
ary electric light meter which shows
the exact number Of watts that has
been used by the lamp to which it
is attached.
The purpose Of the exhibit is to
afford the public a graphic object
lesson in the economy Of using the
new "Mazda" lamps instead Of the
old kind. As shown plainly by the
silently but ceaselessly revolving
discs in the telltale meters, the
Mazda" produces the same power
Of light at just half the expense
Of current.
