clare the system is the most econom-
ical, most efficient and artistic now
known.
It has been substituted for the old
cluster light system In Washington,
New York, Chicago and hundreds Of
other cities. 1t was accepted in Cleve-
land after the engineers Of that city
had completed weeks of investigation.
The system. however, is the only one
of its kind in this section of Indiana.
Others May Follow.
1t is believed that when the salts
factory results are shown Saturday
night, impetus will be given the petit
tions now being circulated on Main
street, Seventh street and Eighth
street for the installation of the orn-
amental lighting system on those
streets.
The system is known as the Series
Mazda-Nitrogen lamps enclosed in the
new type Of the General Electric com
pany's Novolox fixtures.
A feature of this system is that the
steel-taped cable instead of stopping
at the base Of the iron poles and
splashing onto a plain rubber-covered
wire, is carried to the top, thus elm
mating all joints and causes for trou
BILE.
BY the use Of this system, the mum
Der of globes is materially decreased
lowering the cost Of maintenance and
making the efficiency five or six times
greater than it other wise would be
The system. in short, has every ad
vantage of the old cluster light sys
tenn and many additional features.
Use Heavy Fiiaments.
The lights are 100 candle-power
| 20 ampere lights with the use OF 9
small transformer in each lamp post
giving the advantage of the use Of the
heavy filament, thereby insuring dam
age from any kind of jar or jolt.
Thirteen poles have been erected
set about 1870 feet apart and placed
staggered to permit of the uniform
| lighting of the whole length OF TIT
street. The globes are guaranteed TO-
thousand lighting hours.
| While Richmond has been back
ward in accepting this kind OF lighting
system, yet 1t has had opportunity tt
I secure the benefits of the results o
experiments. From every standpoint
the Series Mazda-Nitrogen Lights art
the cheapest to maintain, the mos
systematic and will afford the bright
est illumination.
The lights were installed by tn
Richmond Electric company, by fa
the lowest bidder for the contrac
awarded by the Board of Works. 1
has required only two weeks for tn
company to complete the work. Work
men will paint the poles from the bot
tom up for six feet with black pain

Watch Hammer Work.
In connection with the installation
of these lights, most interesting or

HERE'S TO sECY DANIELS
kalamazoo Gazette.)

kalamazoo GaZette.)
Two years ago, on the recOmmen-
dation of Sec'y of the Navy Jose
phus Daniels, congress was induced
TO pass an act providing for the ap-
pointment of Is enlisted men to the
naval academy each year.
Officers of the navy were scan
dalized. Heretofore. common per
sons had never entered the sacred
gates of Annapolis For a common
sailor to be permitted 10 aspire to
become an officer of the navy was
unheard Of. And Daniels was roast
ed.
Nevertheless. Daniels got the law
through, and the first examination,
held about six weeks after the law
was enacted, resulted in the qualify
ing and appointment Of five enlisted
men. Last year eight men qualified.
and this year, ii is announced, p
enlisted men have Just passed the
examination. Daniels has written to
the chaiTmen of the senate and
house committees on naval affairs,
requesting congress TO authorize the
appointment of al %. In the mean
time. TIE appointment Of the Is who
stood highest will be made immedi-
ately.
The increase from five men 60 %
in three years demonstrates the ef-
ficiency of the educational plan put
into effect by Secy Daniels when he
took up the duties of secretary OF
the navy For this also. he has been
harshly criticised.
notwithstanding the criticism, un-
der Daniels administration the navy
for the first time in its history has

1t may be that treating enlisted
men decently, providing educatiOna

one of the questions that has
troubled manufacturers since the
war began is that of dyes The pub
lie is told that "colors are not guar
anteed" since the supply Of German
chemicals has been exhausted; and.
sure enough, there has been a literal
fading away Of the beautiful hues
that delight the eyes.
Lessons like this carry their own
humiliation. That this big country,
with it's marvellous resources. its
magnificent wealth, its bOasted OPP

STATESMEN GREAT AND
NEAR-GREAT
BY Fred Kelly.

WASHINGTON, June 19.-Frank
Douglas scott, commonly known as
Doug" Scott, first term congress
man from a northern Michigan dis
trict, is a person of proclivities and
sOcialability. In his native Alpena
he knows every man, woman, new
born babe and canary bird by name
If humble foreign laborer were to
move into that congressional dis
trict, Scott would not sleep a wink
until he had hunted him up, learned
his name and laid the basis of a per-
manent speaking acquaintance.
When he came TO Washington to
engage in big-league statecraft Scott
found just one large. green fly in his
ointment. There were more than
three hundred thousand persons in
town whom he was unable to call by
name! This preyed on his mind not
little. To walk along the street I'M
able TO nod TO people he passed and
call them casually by name was his
I idea of being completely miserable.
AS rapidly as possible he sought to
| overcome his humiliating lack of
name knowledge. He started in with
/ the elevator boys and janitor in his
/ apartment house and learned their
Christian names, front names and
nicknames. Then he took in the
house of congress until he could call
| by name each and every one Of the
/ 436 members.
That was some little accomplish
ment, but il did not satisfy-bv no
means Doug Scott, as we have al
ready minated, is a sOciable being.
/ He likes 10 know lots and lots of his
/ fellow humans. There was one class

desired TO know we'll enough to call

quently Scott is now able 10 wave his
