81, 600, 900 BUILDING
PROGRAM IN 81. LOUIS
Fifty-Four Larger Buildings Under
Construetion-13.00o Men '
Employed.

By United Press.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 24.-Fifty-four
buildings Of major Importance, with q
total estimated cost of $4,000, 900, are
under construction in St. Louis and sub
urDs today, a city-wide canvass reveal.
A practical return to normal in the
building industry is shown by the inves-
tigation. The number Of projects is
about the average for normal times, IS
well as the number Of workers employed.
Statistics show that the cost Of build
ing now is about 80 per cent higher than
it was in 1918, and Is per cent above
the 1916 figure. The peak was reached
in 1920. when the cost was lis per cent
above that of l9l3-l4.
Builders and labor representatives
agree that about 1900 skilled crafts
men are at work on outside" jobs in
St. Louis. This is approximately nor.
NAL, compared with former years, in
GLIDING the peak Of several years ago.

William Stanley
and the Alternating Current Transformer

There is nothing that compares with cleo
tricity for the economical transmission of power.
As matter of fact, energy in any other form can
be economically transmitted only for the shortest
distances If power need develops. and its
location is more than few hundred yards from
the power house, the engineer at once turns to
the electrical method for cheap and reliable
transmission.
To the thousands who are living their lives in
the earlier days of the Electrical Age it probably
seems that this situation must have always
existed. But actually, there is many man with
no gray in his hair can recall the days when
electric light and power were literally unknown.
The tremendous electrical transmission sys-
TENS that have been developed during the past
thirty years owe their existence to the fact that
they are practically, as well as technically,
right. They provide cheaper power than would
otherwise be possible; and production, and the
creation of real values, always requires COM
paratively low-priced power for its highest
development. And the history of low-cust
power transmission is the history of Alternating
Current, and especially of the Alternating Cur
rent Transformer. For one of the great factors
in the cost of electrical systems is the cost of con-
ductors-wires the big thing about alter
mating current is that it makes possible the use of
conductors which are within the cost-limits which
competitive and economic conditions impose.

There is no room to discuss all the varied as
poets Of this question: but it may he said that
one of the great fundamentals that has led to the
use of alternating current transmission for about
$50 of the electrical systems now in use has been
its great economy, as compared to other systems,
in the transmission of power. And the trans
former, itself, is the heart of the alternating
current system
1t permits a small current. at high voltage, to
be transformed to large current at low voltage,
or vice versa. through the use of simple, immobile
apparatus, and thus supplies the essential factor
in electrical transmission
William Stanley is remembered because it was
he who commercially developed transformers of
high efficiency and satisfactory regulating quail
ties. He brought out the first system in which
the transformers were connected in parallel,
across a constant-potential system, instead of
the series operation used by Gaulard and Gibbs
The system embodying this principle was put
into operation at Great Darlington, Mass, on
March l6, 1886, and has been the standard
method ever since.
Thus briefly is recorded the history of an
other contribution Of the Westinghouse enpi-
neering organization to the electrical art: since
all the transformers which are made TODAY are
built upon the same general principles as those
first constructed I'd embody William Stanley's
inventions.

count.
In a prelim the Catholic Univer-
sity Freshmen defeated Gonzaga
High School by a score Of 33 to 20.
George Washington drew the
short end Of a 34-to-32 count in its
game with Bucknell. What the con-
test lacked in team play was more
than made up for in exciting indi-
vidual brilliancy.
The Hatchetites found Bucknell
rather listless in the first half and
were ahead by 20 to Is at half time.
The Main Liners woke up at the
start Of the second half and the
count stood at 22-all. Bucknell
forged ahead to a comfortable lead
when the Hatchetites came to life
and on clever shots by Daily and
Hughes tied up at 32-all two minutes
