BARRED. THE OVERHEAD SIGN
Authorities Of City OF London Pro
. hIbited the Projecting Nuisance,
in Eighteenth Century. g

Many things to which we are now
so thoroughly accustomed that they
seem natural and obvious took the
world long time to think of, observes
Everyday Science. Numbering the
houses or shops in street as means
of Identifying them seems very sim
pie device, but nobody thought Of it
until well on in the Eighteenth century.
Until then they got on as well as
they could with no numbers, and in
London streets, like Cheapside, every
shopkeeper tried to Guido his rivals
in-t the size and grandeur. Of his sign
board They projected over, the street,
and every now and then fell down and
killed somebody. They creaked and
groaned terribly whenever the wind
blew, and it shows what nuisance
they were that within q year Of house
numbering being introduced signboards
which projected from the walls were
prohibited.
The first London street to be num-
tered in March, 1764, was New Bur-
lington street, and the next Linceln's
Inn Fields. q,

LEAVES NOTHING TO CHANCE

Uncle Sam hasa perfectly equipped
miniature flour mill and. bakery in
Washington which. despite its small
size, draws its grist from all over the
world. The mill and bakery is part
of the equipment Of the bureau of
markets, United States Department of

supply information which is Of use in
the preparation and. revision Of fed.
eral grain standards. y%a
Hundreds Of samples representing
various grades, conditions and vari-
eties Of wheat are sent in to the little
mill and each of these, samples is
cleaned, secured, tempered, ground.
bolted and baked in an electric oven.
After baking, the specialists can study
the weight, volume, color, and texture
of the bread and record Of results OBJ
tanned from the sample Of wheat that
was used. There is no chance Tor 1er-
ror in making these comparisons, as
all the samples are treated exactly
alike; the milling operations are care
fully duplicated and the same recipe
is used in mixing the bread and >bak-
ing it. ... .----- --........->.
The volume test is made by plac-
ing the baked loaf in q vessel OF
known cubical content. Flaxseed,
which, finds its way into every crew
ice and does not cling to the loaf, is
poured in around the Loaf until the
vessel is full. The quantity Of fax:
seed used is then measured, and the
difference in volume of the vessel and
the volume Of the fiaxseed needed to
fill the ocrevices between the. sides Of
the loaf and the wall Of the receptacle
represents the volume of1the loaf. 1t
is surprising to note the difference in
volume of two loaves made from Diff
ferent varieties Of wheat.

Another instance OF the secrecy
which attend the meetings OF the
Directors Of Public Safety came TO
light today. when It was learned
that the chauneurs FOR the fire mar
shal's car has been named. This
information was learned from
sources outside the department and
both drivers are now on duty.
The new chauffeurs are Charles
Barnes and Edward Papa.
When orders were issued several
DAYS ago for tho men TO appear be-
for the directors az a conference, 10
was said they were TO be named
chaufeurs. At that time other ap-
plicants for the positions felt that
il the positions were to be filled.
also the applicants should have been
interviewed
Just how much salary is 10 be
paid the chauneurs has not been
announced. II was reported this
morning. however, that the secre-
tary to the fire marshal would be
named today. This position, like
the others in the fire department, is
being sought for by a number Of
men. 1t is understood, however"
that the position is to be given a
young man who has not yet reach
ed the age OF twenty-one.
