As an insulation engineer, Mr.. Skinner has
always faced the necessity of utilizing a great
array Of materials which are inferior in mechan-
cal to those of the rest of the struc
ture, such papers. 6bers cottons. fabrics, mica
varnishes. asphaltums, oils. and various other un-
mechanical materials. Such materials are prac-
tically all affected, or destroyed. by undue heat
Many Of them are easily penetrated by moisture,
the arch enemy Of insulation Practically none OF
these materials Individually is ideal for the pur
pose desired, nor are they perfect in combination.
Consequently. the history of insulation is story
Of struggle. Of frequent disappointment, and Oft
times mysterious failure.
II is now fully realized that the insulation
engineer is vital and constructive factor in tn.
development of the electrical art. With the
great advances in recent years his high position
in the art is becoming more and more rccoa-
nized, as the difficulties of his problems are
better realized. II may be said truly, that the
high position Of the Westinghouse Company is
due, to a large extent, to the far. reaching ac-
comPiisbments of its insulation engineers. Of
whom Mr.. Skinner is the leading exponent.

five similar opinions necessary under
Mexican practice to establish q ques-
tion Of constitutionality. The retro
activity of article a. involves the
ownership Of oil and other properties
held in Mexico by Americans, and the
Washington government has contend
ed that 1t could not recognize nation

MAY O. K. CAR TRACKS
ON GEORGETOWN BRIDGE
Utilities Commission to Take Ac-
ton at Meeting This Afternoon.
Other Proposals.

The Public Utilities Commission, at a
meeting this afternoon, probably will
approve the application of the Capital
Traction Company to extend its tracks
across the new Georgetown bridge and
to collect an additional fare of half q
cent from passengers going to the Vir-
ginia side.
Members Of the commission feel that
1t would put the people to a great In
convenience to deprive them Of trans
portation facilities to Virginia, in view
OF the fact that the Washington and Old
Dominion Is not planning to exercise its
privilege Of putting tracks on the new
bridge.
AS to the half-cent bridge fare, this
will not benefit the company, since the
law requires that the corporation must
pay to the federal government tax of
half a cent on each passenger carried
over the bridge.
The question Of whether the CAPITAL
Traction Company should be directed to
construct underground electric conduits
for It's tracks on Connecticut avenue
from Calvert to Newark streets also
will be considered this afternoon, but a
decision on this case may be deferred,
If the underground system is not or
dered,- it is believed likely the Commits
sion will authorize the company to move
its trolley poles from the center of the
tracks to the curbs to make the avenue
safer for vehicular traffic.

Capt. Stoll and Detective Kuehling
learned that the so-called safety tor
pedo' was on sale on numerous stands
along Washington-Baltim boule-
ward beyond the District line, as well
as In many Maryland stores, and the
several dealers questioned by the cap
tain said they sold all their Fourth of

Persons who handled the torpedoes
said they were about one inch long

police about the affair. It was about
4:30 o'clock Monday afternoon, they
said, when an automobile in which
three men were seated stopped near
the Dant home. One of the men in

have time to warn George before he
bit it."
AS soon as George BIT the torpedo,
the boys stated. there was a loud re-
port. George said the men in the car
drove a short distance away, laughed,
and asked IL he wanted another piece.
and he said he told them NO"
The car came from the direction of
Maryland and continued in the direc-
tion of this city. Joseph Werres said
he felt positive he could identify the
young man who gave his companion
the torpedo.
Maj. Daniel Sullivan, superintendent
of police, and George S. Watson, chief
of the fire department. expressed the
belief that the sale of torpedoes in
this city constitutes a violation of the
police regulations. Both officials
agreed that every effort SHOULD be
made to capture the man who is al
legged to have told the Dant boy the
explosive was peppermint candy, and
said they thought punishment for
such an offense should be severe.
