CUBA'S FIFTH AVENUE IS NOW
 WELL LIGHTED

The Reparto Miramar is one of the finest residence districts in Havana, Cuba. It is about two kilometers in length and one in width, subdivided by avenues and cross streets into blocks. The central avenue is 40 meters wide with grass and flower plots. At three points along the avenue beautiful parks and sunken gardens are under construction. The minimum cost of dwellings to be built is S4O,000, ninety per cent of the lots are already sold and the entire project should be completed within the next two years.
 Lighting this exclusive district was a problem entrusted to Mir. w. D. A. Ryan. director of a well-known il- Illuminating engineering laboratory, and a complete report was submitted and approved. For the central avenue system of lighting has been recon mended that will illuminate the street and surroundings to a fairly high in tensity for decorative and display purposes. There will be ornamental standards 20 feet in height, four te each central grass plot. The stand ard carries two fixtures, with a 1000 candle power lamp in each globe.
 Along the curbing, at the corners half way between corners is located standard 12 feet high with a similar fixture except smaller. This stand ard carries 250 candle-power lamp Circuits are so arranged that at mid night all of the large standards may

We are a thinking nation, therefore Thrift, as a crisp clear-cut Anglo Saxon word, makes a definite appeal to every grade of social life The government uses a sister-vord of Latin Conservation-which implies formality but produces the same result.
 The high cost of living and the de- creased purchasiEg power of sf.e doi- lar are the two outstanding subjects of conversation. The wage earn3r asks: How may ! earn more raon- ey?" The home maker is saying; 'liow may spend and choose more wisely7" and everyone of us is forced to consider this: "How may consume more intelligently?"
 One very intelligent home-maker re- lated how she has put her household upon a better and thriftier basis. She said: T began to study my house from the basement up. I looked for leaks in the laundry work and I found them, many of them: for example the work was dragged through the week when done by old methods. began to study various types of elec- tric washers. with the question of quality in mind.

anybody dreamed that almost every thing in the world can be run by cleo tricity- It was when the scientists got together in later years and decided to give names to what they had learned about electricity that they picked out an electrical unit of pressure and called it volt"
 One of the first things the fathers of electricity learned was that there is force from behind - pressure in electricity.
 You get an idea of what is meant by pressure when you remember the garden hose playing over the lawn. When it only half worked" and threw a stream only a little way you said it lacked pressure" As the pressure was greater the hose worked" better. This pressure was the power back behind" in the water pipe. It is always there, but cannot show itself in action until you turn on the nozzle of the hose. Then it tries to escape, the power back behind' pressing the water on and out. Electricity flows exactly the same way, except that you cannot see ! it, although you behold what it does. The second you turn on" the switch the electricity flows; the power in the | line is always there seeking to be free
 
 and at work.
 Nowadays it is very simple to meas ure this electric pressure. So if you have wire filled with electricity, in- stead of the garden hose filled witt water, and want to make an electric vacuum cleaner go you will understand that you must have an electric cur rent of enough strength or pressure tC make the little wheels turn and keeI revolving. Nearly all house current: have no volts pressure.
 A volt, then, is the pressure that i: needed to force current of electricit, of a certain quantity through a wir, of given resistance, or, to speak il scientific terms. a volt is the pressur, required to force one ampere of cur rent through conductor having on, ohm resistance. These terms will b. explained in the succeeding articles.

Volt Unit of Electrical Pressure

The term volt (v) owes it's name to Alessandro Volta. inventor of the electric. battery. Volta was born at Como, Italy, Feb. IS, 1745, in a house where the Volta family had lived for more than 300 years. From a back ward child, he became a precocious youth. He crammed into a few years life of daring and adventure, but al ways employed his mind in searching out Natures truths.
 His fame as a writer and explorer reached all over the known world In London. Berlin and Paris he was given all the honors the worlds great men received. The first consul founded the Volta prize, which was once conferred on Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone.
 Bonaparte gave Volta a sword and made him a senator of Lombardy. II is told of Bonaparte that he once visited the National Institute and found there a laurel wreath on a bronze tablet, on which were the words, "Au Grand Voitalre." The em peror erased the last three letters. thus making it read "To the Great Volta. Volta really had nothing more to dc with what is now called a volt than dozens of other men of science Volta found out lot of things electricity could do, but this was long before l be extinguished and four of the smal.

Father Works Eight Hours While Mother
 NolU Works Sixteen

Shorter hours proposed in many sec tions of the country aim to lessen the hours during which a man works. The question comes up as to where this revision downward is to cease and aft CT all, what is the true point of ef- ficiency and benefit for a working day.
 It is seldom noted that as fathers hours have gone down from ten to eight hours, mothers hours have gone up from eight to sixteen. The great est hardships from overwor1 are being heaped upon the non-wage caring mother Since everybody else is short ening hours. the burden of performing the necessary tasks of clothing, feed- ing and caring for children, of course. imposes a heavier and heavier duty upon the mother.
 Recently Henry l.. Doherty. head of a great system of electric light plants in America, was interviewed on shorter hours" MT. Doherty averaged sixty six hours per week during his early days ard now averages more than sev- enty hours per week in directing his enterprises.
 "Show me a married man with a wife and children whose wife does not have to work more than eight hours a day and I will show you either a remarkable man or a durned fool" he declared.
 T am against the evident plan of some to go from eight to seven and from seven to six and from six to five until labor becomes a joke.
 Let's try and find the point where a workers health measures up with his efficiency and his usefulness to him. self, his family and his country" ]
