the pupils to make use Of their oppor-

Carlisle is doing for the Indians.
He says among other things: Il

BUREAUS TASK IS TO FIX STANDARD
FOR ALL SORTS OF THINGS
Not Only Weights and Measures, but About Every Detail Of Every
Public Utility Passed Upon by Federal Bureau Of Standards
Idea Is to Present Well Tested Methods Which viii
Commend Themselves to All States

stacle TO meter manufacturers. At
present . meter acceptable In San
Francisco might not do at all in New
York.
The bureau. thanks to the experts,
could furnish at this moment q set of
rules for the government of public
utilities anywhere, which. with posi-
bly, few minor alterations. could be
put into effect with marked benefit to
the community and without serious
hardship to the corporations affected.
For instance. three sets of model cleo
trio ordinances have been prepared
one for large cities. one for medium
sized cities, and one for smaller cities
and towns. Big-city requirements are
inclined to be more stringent than
those applicable to smaller communi-
ties. and to enforce these requirements
upon electric power companies in small
towns would be more or less of hard
ship. Then there is q different set of
model regulations. suitable for adop-
ton by state utilities commissions,
which strike happy medium between
the stricter regulations of the large
cities and the laxer rules applicable
to the smaller communities In formu-
lating these tables of measurements
the bureau has received support not
only from utilities commissions
throughout the country but from cleo
trio companies as well.
1t frequently happens that represen-
tatives of the bureau are asked by pub
lie utilities commissions to attend hear
ings on matters of more than usual
importance. In such case an expert
a.. is sent. and usually he supplies data
of vast benefit in enabling those in
terested to reach definite conclusion.
) Safety Codes.
One important phase of the bureaus
work is its plan to formulate and have
adopted a national gas and electric
safety code for the protection of both
workers and consumers. The idea is
to have the code uniform throughout
all states. This work, however is not
completed. Sometime this year a con-
ference will be held in Washington
to consider the bureaus national cleo
trio code. and If adopted by the con-
vention its adoption by the state leg
islatures will be urged.
The same method has been followed
in the preparation of gas safety code
for all the states.
To. investigate the telephone as a
public utility it has been necessary
to make some survey of telephone
transmitting and receiving apparatus,
as well as switchboard equipment. So
far this work has been slight, but from
now on the bureau will devote itself
more energetically to this task. In the
opinion of the bureau telephone stand
| ards are in sore need of fixing.
Public service commissions through
out the country are noting increasing
frequency. of petitions for permission
for connections between telephone sys-

whether an impairment of service

Dr. Mitchell announced she had finiyhed her work in this state and did not find any factories in this statew here high explosives were manufactured. She had been informed there were factories of that character in Stam- ford and Chester and she visited both towns. She. found that the manufac- ture in the two places had been dis continued for some time. She eaid New Jersey was the principal state in the union for the manufacture of high explosives. This was owing to the shippingJ facilities.
