GLARING STREET LIGHTS BAD
Best Results Obtained From Globes
Which Are Dense Enough to
Soften the Rays.

illuminating engineers are now
turning all their energies toward a
system for the proper distribution of
street lighting" writes Walter r. How
ell, In Good Health. "They have
unanimously agreed that the best light
Is that from a globe that is dense
enough not to reveal the form of the
actual light within. but to give the eff
feet of light streaming forth from the
globe"
The reason for this is that street
lamps are necessarily against a dark
background, and the amount of glare
upon the eyes depends to a great de-
gree upon the background against
which the light Is seen. An electric
light, unshaded, against dark velvet
wall covering, for instance, will be
found much more trying to the eyes
than would the same light with
white wall paper behind it.

One of the chief objects OF those in
charge OF the Red Cross is to keep all
the facts concerning the working OF
the organization always before the
people. A recent bulletin makes plain
the enlarged scope OF the organization
since ths Geneva Convention, which
authorized only worlin the field dur
ing times OF war. Among the powers
derived from the new charter Is the
following: ITO continue and carry
on a system of national and inter-
national relief in time OF peace. and
apply the same In mitigating the sur
ferings caused by pestilence. famine.
foods. and other great national cal
antilles. and 10 devise and carry on
measures Tor preventing the same"
To this has been added clause. known
In foreign countries as the American
Amendment. which reads; "To con-
tinue and carry on system OF national
and international relief In peace times"
This is interpreted as not being In
tended as a limitation. but used as
contrast to the: paragraphs which
