citizens to play happily well as TO

although not as hard as the diamond
The pure metal. which has recently been
obtained with the aid of an electric 1ur-

a long time il was thought too hard TO be

was perfected whereby the new metal

move the metal filament lamps from
doris and even from the street cars. These
lamps were either taken home for use or
sold to the saloons and dives TOR smaii
part of their original value. In many
Instances they were exchanged TOT urihhs
and cigars. -
1t is quite impossible to watch the
lamps all the while. To prevent the num-
erous thefts a lock socket was devised.
In this type of socket the lamps are nrni-
ly locked in place and it is quite impos-
sible to remove them without key.

why they are filched whenever an OPP

not averse to unscrewing a lamp or two

ordered ten thousand new Jock sockets
