ELECTRIC SERVICE
h, STANDARD IS SET
New Regulation Called Forth by
Practices Of Lighting Com
panies in Some Cities.

Standards for electric service which
can be required by public service COM
missions or city officials from the cleo
trio light and power companies serving
the public have been set by the Bureau
of Standards, and a circular Is being
prepared for distribution among such
commissions. One of the clauses In the
new rules says:
Lamps furnished by utilities to GUS
toners without charge free renewals)
or at prices less than open market prices
should be of such efficiency in watts
per candle when used on utilities cir
cults of standard voltage that the cost
OF light per candlepower hour to GUS
toners will not exceed the cost per can
dlepower hour when incandescent lamps
are bought in the open market"
These regulations were called forth by
the practice of lighting companies In
some cities of giving free renewals with
carbon or gem lamps, while refusing to
give free renewals of tungsten lamps.
The bureau report holds however that
the tungsten lamp has been SO improved
in efficiency and durability that Its life
Is more than double that of other lamps
the average is less with tungsten than
with carbon lamps.
Moreover, the bureau holds that the
efficiency of tungsten lamps Is so much
higher that there is scarcely any place
where carbon or gem damps can now be
used advantageously, and that for COM
panieS to give free renewals OF these
lamps has a tendency to encourage the
use OF inefficient means of lighting.

Education commences at the moth
er's knee, and every word spoken
within the hearing OF little children
tends toward the formation OF char
acter.
The child grows. his intellect
strengthens, and ordinarily he pro-
crosses, for there is progress every
where. To the developing mind, edu-
cation comes in different phases-one,
the development Of the senses, which
is the first step in the Montessori
method: another by the precipitation
and recognition OF the faculties; sill
another. by absorption and assimi-
lation; again-by application and in
struction where results depend upon
the receptivity Of the pupil; and
wonderful education is gained from
environment and social contact; the
last may be Tor good or i'll according
10 the association.
Without social contact, we should
have no language and no need OF any
Tor we should be equally destitute Of
thoughts requiring the medium Of
words and words in which to formu-
late thoughts.
Through social contact may come
great progress, one eminent writer
says by using its five factors: lst,
biological; I'd. eugenics; Sd, euthen-
les; 4th, social evolution; 5th educa-
ton.
Men and women everywhere are
employing these methods and devei-
oping them, though they do not so
classify an dterm them, for we are all
social products. and through contact
with other minds and wits, we become
ambitious and consequently progress.
1t is absolutely true, that each one
wants to win in the game that is being
played; what is necessary Grit and
application, influenced by environ
ment and ideals.
Wise writers have told us that as
one vigorous and ambitious boy who
aims at success, wants to be like his
father or George Washington, so an
other, because of the same traits. will
want to be a pitcher OF the Red Sox--
or ring master in circus.

Madam President and Members:
OF the measures endorsed and
worked for by the Federation, the fol-
lowing came 10 a successful issue with
the last legislature:
l. A change in the inheritance law,
giving 10 the mother independently
the same share in the estate Of de-
ceased child dying unmarried as
to the father, whereas formerly the
father inherited the entire estate. This
refers to disposition OF property
where no will is made.
2 Mothers Pensions. whereby GER
tain amounts are paid to the mother
having one or more children depend
ent upon her efforts, the father hav-
ing died, or having abandoned the
family, or being incapacitated from
earning. Thees pensions are obtain
able by application to the County
Commissioners.
3. Teachers Pensions.
T. A modification OF the capital
punt shment law which almost amounts
to its abolition. through a specific
definition Of murder OF the first de-
gree" The law now provides that
murder OF the first degree" IS that
which is committed by poison, slow
torture. lying in wait, etc, conditions
which so seldom arise as to practi-
cally eliminate murder of the first
degree" All other killings are elassed
as murder Of the second degree" or
as crimes of lesser degree, and are not
punishable by by death.

Of free kindergartens by the school
trustees. in all communities where
there are % children or more OF kin
dergarten age, upon petition OF par

Nevada is the second state TO intro
duce this method OF providing kin
dergartens as an element OF the school
system. California being the first. We
hope that during the coming year,
through the activities of the club wo-
men. every community in the state
having a sufficient number of pupils
will establish a kindergarten. For
particulars in this regard, reference :

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1827-Sfmon Byrfe defeated Alex ander Mckay in 5 rounds near Glas- gow. This was one of the most widely advertised bouts ever pulled off in Scotland, and attracted wide attention. Byrne was an Irishman who had made quite reputation for himself in his fights about Glasgow, and the sports of the land O cakes were anxious to find Scot who could lower his co1ors Mckay was picked as the man for the job, but, although he fought gallant battle, he withstood the Hibernian's onslaugh for only 47 minutes. AL though vast sums were wagered on the bout, the men themselves fought for only $250 a side. In 1881 Byrne fought Jem Ward for the champion ship, but was defeated, and two years later he contested the honors with Jem Burke They fought hours and 16 minutes, when the Deaf 'Un was de- clared the victor. The game Irishman took such terrible punishment that he died a few days later, but on his death- bed he declared it was booze, and not Burke, which finished him.
