Blame the Weather
Man When Electric
Light Bills Are Heavy

An eclipse of the sun, such as
caused cities in the path of its to-
tally to light up last Saturday, is
not the only occasion for turning on
lighting current in the day time.
The weather man is most to blame
when electric light bills vary from
month to month or year to year. A
few extra cloudy days will make a
big difference according to a state
ment issued yesterday by the Central
Maine Power Company.
OF course the sun is responsible
for heavier lighting expense i'll win
ter than In summer. The number
of hours of artificial lighting per day
in each month varies from two hours
and - minutes average in May to
six hours and 81 minutes average a
day in December. And these are
only days when the sun shines
brightly.
On cloudy days it is dark earlier
at night and stays dark later in the
morning. Often it is SO dark that
people burn lights during the day
in their homes and offices. If the
weather man regularly distributed
his cloudy weather over the year it
would be an easy matter to deter
mine the approximate size of the
light bill for each month in advance.
But he is the only Fone who knows
anything about what weather will be
the vogue next month, and he won't
tell.
Figures taken from actual condi-
lions show that the weather in 1921
w. and 1923 was as tickle as a
Woman's temperament. The differ
ence in percentages of clear and
cloudy weather for the same month
IN the three years varies from 26.4
per cent in August TO 10 per cent in
September. The averages of per
centages for the whole year vary
10 per cent.
While weather variation is the
most tangible reason for differences
IN lighting bills between the current
month and the previous month, or
the corresponding month a year ago.
the use OF more appliances connect
ed to lighting sockets or outlets or
the lighting circuit also varies the
meter readings.

grew significantly in popularity. This
popularity Rabbi Wise turned to ac-
count in his agitation for Jewish
institution of higher learning. The
first result Of his effort was Zion Col
lege, the forerunner OF the Hebrew
Union College, which was opened in
the Fall Of 1855 with fourteen stu
dents-two of whom were Christians
and three paid teachers in addition
To Rabbi Lilicnihal aud Rabbi Wise
Federal and local dignitaries helped
to celebrate the opening, but through
out Jewry there was concerted oppo-
siton to the college-the same oppo-
ston that had blocked all of the
great reformer's work for his people.
Yet while Zion College itself did not
survive. Isaac NJ. Wise lived to see
the fruition of his labors in the He
brew Union College, which after the
founding he directed until his death
in 1900.
Another great dream of his, that
of an organization of all rabbis for
the promulgation of ritual and an
accepted creed for all American Is
rael, was also realized. after many
heartbreaking years. Through him
the "Minhag America" came into be-
ing-the first published set of pray
ers for Reform service Out of this
early coming together of Rabbis
which brought into being the Central
Conference of American Rabbis, grew
the Union of American Hebrew Con
gregations-that other great achieve
ment of Isaac NJ. Wise, an American
institution of recognized prestige and
influence, which is also celebrating its
half century existence.
All of these today are the living
monument of Isaac NJ. Wise, all of
these, and the very aspirations and
direction of twentieth century Jewish
life in America. For in whatever
American Jewry does today run the
principles that this great teacher
fought for to the establishment Of
which his whole life was given. We
are trying to be the kind Of Jews and
the kind of Americans that Isaac
Wise dreamed that we would be.
