Berlin Lamplighters
Still Sure of Job

Berlin-(P-The picturesque sing
ing and whistling lamplighters who
trudge along the curbs at dusk and at
dawn with long poles turning the gas
lamps on and off are in no danger of
losing their jobs in Berlin for some
time.
OF 100000 street lamps 10000 are
Illuminated by gas and only TO- 900 by
electricity. The city council has just
rejected as too expensive proposal
to begin electrifyins street lighting
in residential districts.
The contract with the Lamplighters'
union fails to take into consideration
that the days are longer in summe:
than in winter. For an unknown rea-
son tie lamplighters go into action
ore hour later from Dec. 81 to June 81
than they do from June q to the fol-
lowing Dec. 81.

Budapest. Hungary, June S0.-(P)-
5atisfaction over a task well done and
I,he friendship and appreciation Of the
Hungarian people gained, is sufficient
nscompense for jeremiah Smith of

Jed Hungary's finances.

N 100000
When Count Blethen, the premier,
yesterday handed him a check for this
7um as Mr.. Smith was bidding him
3arewell, the American magnanimous-
u declined to accept 1t.
Give it to charity" said Mr.. Smith
to the premier. Your poor need it
more than I do. The only compensa-
ti1n / desire for my work is the ap-
rreciation and friendship of the Hun
garian people"
Mr.. Smith, who is not wealthy
man, said he did not feel that he could
nightly accept money for his services
from people so distressed as the
jHungarians. Not alone did he refuse
10 accept the salary proffered him, but
|hs declined to take any money for his
living expenses in Budapest for the
past two years.
Count Bethlen informed Mr.. Smith
Mat the Hungarian government by
Iseason Of his generosity would be
IGNORED to- confer upon him a high
iscoration. Even this Mr.. Smith de-
Incrred, saying; IF you do this. then
shall never forgive you. Your friend
| ship and gratitude are more precious
% me than any decoration"
So successful was Mr.. Smith s
york In rehabilitating Hungary's fl
snces that he reported to the League
i Nations early in the present month
hat they were In excellent condition.
The Hungarian government a month
40 hailed Mr.. Smith as a saviour of
