RECORDS BROKEN
FOR CONSTRUCTION
26 Per Cent Increase in May
Reported by Contractors,
With Prices Same.

All existing records for volume of
construction work under way in the
United States during a single month
were shattered in May, according to
statistics compiled by the Associated
General Contractors of America. The
May volume was 26 per cent greater
than that of April, rejecting the great
volume of contracts awarded during
the two preceding months. The
amount of construction activity in the
first five months of the year is being
taken as an indication that 1925 will
set a new 12-month record.
The cost of construction in the prin-
cipal centers of the United States re-
manned stationary during May, being
exactly double that of 1913. The fact
that costs have not increased as a re-
suit of the heavy volume of contracts
awarded in March is being viewed as
a marked assurance of the present
stability of the construction industry.
The volume of building contracts
during April was the greatest for any
month in any year on record, exceed
ing the previous high mark set in the
preceding month by II per cent. Con
tracts awarded during the first four
months of 1925 exceed the volume of
those awarded during the correspond
ing period of 1924 by per cent.

An alluring little rose trellis is a
fascinating adjunct to any country or
suburban home. Even the amateur
carpenter can easily construct one,
since it is little more than an arch
over a seat. The arch is made of lat
tice work, so that the climbing vine
may find a hold for it's tendrils. A
back of open woodwork for the seat
is in keeping with the airy nature of
the trellis. The whole should be paint
ed either white or green; but white is
the more effective as a background
for the greenery of the vines and the
bright color of the pink or red roses. A
comparatively small yard will have
space for this charming bower

The fleetness Of q human xrey-
hound" recently failed to beat an
automobile In a 100-yard dash from .
standing start ut the Los Angeles
Coliseum.
A half dozen four-cylinder cars Of
different makes had been given &C.
celeration tests in 100-yard dashes.
The best time was made by q Chew
rolet. Each car ran eight spirits
over the distance and the results
were averaged. The average time
made by the Chevrolet was 1913 Sec
onds.
The other averages were: Ills Sec
onds; 11.19 seconds; 11.28 seconds;
11.5S seconds and 1884 seconds. The
cars which ran 4 second and third
were considerably higher in price
than the Chevrolet.
After the tests, the question arose
as to the relative pickup" Of the
automobile and the human Splinter.
A contest was arranged ia the Coli
scum between a Chevrolet and Keith
Lloyd, cousin of Harold Lloyd. Keith
Lloyd Is the champion sprinter of the
University of Southern California.
The Chevrolet was driven by Dick
Champion, former Bucknell Univer-
sity track star. The stop watch was
held by Dean Cromwell, Lloyd's
coach.
AT the starting gun Lloyd leaped
ahead of the car. He was in full
stride before Champion had changed
to second gear. The rapidly acceler-
ating car roared after him, however,
and caught him at the tape. Coach
Cromwell clicked car and sprinfer in
a dead heat of 1913 seconds. On
comparative figures had Lloyd
sprinted against any Of the other Ave
cars he would have won without ex-
tending himself. The speed of the
Chevrolet car at the finish was 80
miles per hour.

Do You Want a
"B" or &C" Lamp?

BY Erwin Greer. President Greer
College of Automotive Engineering,
Chicago.
Haven't bought lamps ever since
Edison invented them? Don't /
know? Did have to tell them every
time bought house lamp whether
IT was for the cellar or library?
Bunk!
But is It?
There is nothing in buying a
home lamp that can serve as a
guide for the purchase of a motor
car lamp. Lamps for home lighting
are stocked for certain station volt
age that are uniform in given COM
munities. So you can be reasonably
sure of getting the right lamp what
ever you ask for.
, But with motor car bulbs II is
Fentirely different. Every car manu-
facturer builds into his car a mini
allure central station Of his own
choosing; 1t may be six-volt plant.
Or the manufacturer may connect
each lamp socket to two separate
wires. In this case the lamp will
have to have a double contact base;
or he may use the frame Of the car
for return, thus necessitating only
lamp must have a single contact
base. Now, let's see If the salesman
who sells you the lamp knows his
business. II he does he will ask you
these questions:
What Is the voltage of your bat
terry?
Double or single contact?
Candlepower?
Do you want a B or C lamp?
The Mazda B lamp is the older
form in which the filament burns in
a vacuum. The C lamp produces a
whittier light and is filed with nit
rogen gas. The latter has not yet
been generally adopted by/ manu-
facturers, but it's use is increasing
rapidly. So. in making your re-
newal you should insist on this C
lamp because it burns less current
and gives a better and whittier light.
What's the number of cells in
your battery?" the dealer asks.
six" you reply. "Righto," says the
dealer, six cells is twelve volts"
And he hands YOU a twelve-volt
lamp. The light you get has all the
illuminating qualities of a glow
worm, but not the brilliant food of
light you desired.
Why? You have a twelve-volt
battery all right but the twelve-volt
current Is only used for the starting
motor, the lighting current using
only three cells. or six.volts. Con-
sequently the resistance of the fila
ment In the twelve-volt lamp is too
great and the lamp cannot give the
light It would IL it was attached to
the proper voltage.
Brush UP on lamp lore that you
may not get caught in jam some
dark night.
