Some Preeautlon Needed.

Experience gained In the manufac-
ture Of these lamps shows that it is
advisable to keep the base cool, and
for this reason glass neck is put on
the lamp, closed up with mica disc
to prevent the hot gas reaching the
base. The upper part of the bulb, on
account Of the rising hot gas, is kept
at much higher temperature than
in a vacuum lamp. Should rain or
snow touch the lamp when it is
burning, the glass is very apt to
crack, and the lamps should, there
fore, when burned out doors, be in
weather proof fixtures. The fixtures,
however, should be ventilated, so as
to keep down the temperature below
the softening point of the glass.
On account of the comparatively
high wattage of these lamps, the
voltage drop from the service to tho
lamp socket Is usually much greater
than is ordinarily supposed, and in
order to get full brilliancy and eff
cheney from the lamps, care should
be taken to see that the voltage of
the lamp is no greater than that of
other lamps used. OF course it is
even better to take actual voltage
readings at the lamp sockets with the
lamps burning. There is no object
In burning these lamps under voltage
to insure good results, as the troubles
had In the past we're mechanical trou-
bles and undervoltage burning will
not correct them.
The standard sizes are 100, 200,
300, 400, 500, $50 and 1000 watts, and
the present construction permits Of
their burning in pendant position
only. One manufacturer, however, is
making the 100 watt size to burn in
any position. Special lamps can be
supplied to burn in an inverted posi-
ton by simply changing the method
of anchoring the filament, but the de-
mand for these lamps is practically
negligible.

About the Hoods.

About the Hoods.
I Ihere Is some discussion among
hood designers and lamp manufac.ur-
ers today, as to whether the refractor
should have an open or closed base,
one hood builder claiming that the
ventilation should all be in the top
OF the lamp and not through the bot
TOM or the refractor, and others
claiming that the ventilation should
De around the lamp and up through
the refractor. These two points have
been definitely settled to date as to
which Is the proper method. It is
safe to assume, by the experience of
purchasers Of lamps in the past, that
there will be more improvements as
to the efficiency, life and cost of
series lamps in the near future.
We believe that the hood construct
ed along the lines suggested above
Will last Indefinitely and can be used
IN any new type of incandescent unit
that may be designed.
There are two different kinds of
series fncandescent street lightine.
one In which the lamps are placed in
series with regulator or tub trans
former. and an automatic cut-out
takes care Of keeping the circuit
closed when the lamps burn out. The
other type is the compensation type,
in which the compensation or shunt
transformer Is connected in multiple
with the lamp so as to accomplish
the same result; also to make it pos
sible to use lamps of lower voltages
and efficiencies than with the regular
street series system.
This type of lamp has been de-
veloped for use on series alternating
current circuits, ana while they may
give good account of themselves on
direct current circuits, such as Mag
netite or Brush arc circuits, they are
for many reasons. not recommended
for such use at the present time. La
ter developments are, however, ex-
pected to change this.
Some Specific Notes.
The remainder Of this report will
be devoted to specific notes, covering
the installation of this type Of lamp
at Dubuque, Iowa, and East Dubuque,
Ill.,, eco c. p. lamps being employed in
the former city and 400 c. D. lamps on
the other side of the river; all lamps
being Of the compensation type-this
type being adopted on the advice of
engineers of the company furnishing
the installation.
We have reason to believe TIT the
company at Dubuque was the first to
adopt this kind of street lights in the
west. At any rate, the first 900 C. D.
lamp was installed IN place Of one Of
the arc lamps early in June, 1914.
The location was at the intersection
of Thirteenth and Iowa streets in

sulting from the icy winds.
If Mel WoIfgang is in shape when
the American league season opens, it
is probable he will be shot right into
the middle of the strife and given a
regular job of pitching to do in the
early days, dividing the veterans job
with Scott, Faber, and possibly Rus
sell and CicOtte. Wolfgang firted
with poison oak in Paso Robes, and
is just regaining the use of his eyes.
He had his first chance yesterday
against Sacramento and allowed
three hits in five innings. Later he
explained that they were all scratch
hits.
WoIfgang, during the latter part of
the 1914 season, proved his right to

with vengeance. He performed SO
ably that he was given the honor Of
pitching the first game in the city
series with the Cubs. He was licked,
but he didn't pitch bad ball. In adj
dition to this, WOfgang is an excel
lent fielder, and far better batter
than the majority Of pitchers.
Roth had his chance at third base
and handled three chances easily, be-
sides connecting for a hit. Jasper
helped Wolfgang with the pitching.
Sox won, 5 to 2, though they only
knocked five hits. WOlfgang got two.
Eddie Cicotte is still far from right
but he is improving. The French
man is always a slow starter, and
no fears should be felt because the
Coast league teams are pounding his
straight ball. Seconds lost to Ven
ice, II to 1.
Jimmy Johnston, the speedy Cub
outfelder, has been sold to Oakland
of the Pacific Coast league. But for
the 21-player rule Manager Bresna-
han would have retained the south
ern flash, believing that he has the
material of which good ballplayers
are made. A string is attached to
Johnston and it is probably that in
the event of injuries among the Cubs
he could be jerked back on short no
tice. Johnson was not quite strong,
enough with the bat and also was
somewhat shy on throwing.
Manager Bresnahan does not have
to worry about the remaining exhibit
ton games on the Cub schedule.
President Baum of the Southern
league has denied there is any inten-
ton on the part Of his organization
to Join with the Federal league.

TARIFF BOARDPUT
UP TO DEMOCRATS
Senator Gore Says if His
Party Fails to Give 1t
Republicans Will.
PLEADS FOR FACTS
IN LEVYING DUTIES
Speaker at Merchants Dinner
Regrets Tendency to Lay
Imposts on Theory.

The only question Is this: Whether
the Democrats will establish a tariff
commission now or leave it for the
Republicans to establish hereafter
This excerpt from the address Of
Senator Gore, the blind statesman Of
Oklahoma, epitomizes the sentiments
he expressed yesterday at the luncheon
of the Merchants Association at the
Hotel Aston. More than one thousand
attended the luncheon.
Senator Gore pointed out the need
Of facts In the application Of economic
theory, and the difficulty a Congress
sional committee experiences in obtain
ing facts. He said: The facts which
constitute competitive conditions, and
out of which emerge those economic
laws which govern trade and commerce,
ought TO be a matter Of common knowl-
edge. For this reason ! have always
voted for a commission when our Re
publican friends were pressing such a
measure Even Democrats, with their
wonted fondness for dreams, cannot at
ford 70 be entirely Indifferent to the
Importance of facts.
"Any ones attitude toward a tariff
commission must depend on his an
swer TO two questions: % Should facts
have any influence in the determine
ton of articles TO be taxed and the
rate Of duties to be imposed? ~ Is a
tariff commission a better agency TO
ascertain facts than a Congressional
committee? He who answers these
questions in the affirmative must favor
a commission.
Few will deny that facts are the
best tombstone upon which 10 try the
value of theory. Few will insist that
taxable articles can be selected by in
tuition and duties best determined by
inspiration. The most elaborate and
most colossal works Of fiction ever pro-
duced in the United States are the
tariff hearings before the Finance Com
mittee of the Senate and the Ways and
Means Committee of the House. As
works Of fancy they are unrivalled by
The Rape of the Lock; as works OF
the Imagination they are unapproached
by Paradise Lost"
Other speakers were Henry r. Towne,
John II. Fahey. president Of the Cham
Der of Commerce of the United States,
who said the American Federation Of
Labor, agricultural, commercial and
banking interests strongly favored such
commission, and william c. Breed,
POSTMASTER.
Senator Gore suggested a tariff com
mission Of six men and said the bust
ness men of America had a right TO ask
for such a body.

NEW REAL ESTATE
BOARD DIARY OUT
1916 Book Has Many Added
Features of General Interest.

"The Diary and Manual Of the Real
Estate Board for 1916 has just been
published. While following the same
general lines of former years, the
book is much mere comprehensive and
has many added features, which will
undoubtedly increase its popularity
among lawyers, architects and real es-
tate owners and brokers.
In addition to the reports from the
more important city departments the
book contains all necessary informa-
tion regarding the labor, workmen's
conversation and tenement house
laws, the various standard rules for
valuing real estate, the established
rules Of real estate commissions and
much other information of part!cular
value to real estate and its allied lines

EXCHANGE CALLS HALT
ON TIP ADVERTISING
Notifies Members of "Legiti-
mate Business" Rule.

The New York Stock Exchange has
called halt on the practice of some
brokerage firms recommending IN
newspaper and periodical advertising
the purchase Of certain securities.
Since the war stock boom started on
the exchange the old rule governing the
advertising Of firms, which restricts
them to advertising of strictly legiti-
mate character" has been violated fire.
quently. -,
The following notice was sent TO all
members of the exchange yesterday by
George W. Ely, the secretary:
81 am instructed to call the attention
Of members of the exchange to the fol-
lowing resolution adopted by the gov
erning committee: That in future the
publication of an advertisement of
other than a strictly legitimate bust
ness character by member OF the ex-
change shall be deemed an act detri-
mental to the interests and welfare Of
the exchange"

in Scventy-nine expressions OF opin-
ion as TO the showing Of the Washing

II .269 600 bales. the lowest being TO-
100000 and the highest 1880 600.
This view seemed very closely in line
with deductions based upon the ceasus
report of Wednesday. There was some
uncertainty as 70 the exact showing OF
