D. {. To CHECK
BULB LOSSES

Major D. IA. Dawson. assistant
Engineer Commissioner of the Dis
trict OF Columbia. has sent speci.
mems of all electric light globes
used in the District of Columbia
to the Bureau OF Standards for
tests in the wind tunnel, TO de-
ternine IL possible just where the
weak spots are in the electric bulb
encasements.
Those globes used on the Key
Bridge In particular are being put
to rigid tests to determine the
cause of the enormous breakage
whenever a heavy wind storm
sweeps down the river.
SS,s00 Cost Of Wind
During the last hard blow in the
District more than SIS 500 worth of
globes, on street lights, were
broken and on the Key Bridge tile
toll of the storm was particularly
heavy.
f, G. Lyman, assistant superin.
tendent of the street lighting de-
partment. said that the globes used
on the Key Bridge cost .ll.97 cents
each and that IN every heavy blow
anywhere from 30 to 50 globes
must ne replaced.
Many methods have been tried to
cut down the hreakaae, from wrap-
ping the bottom Of the globes with
tape to placing copper hands on
that part Of the globe which rests
on the poles.
Traffic Jars Mated
A study of conditions ali over
the city has shown that those
streets on which street. ears run or
on which heavy traffic operates
during the greater part OF the day
are the heaviest sufferers.
Il Isl likely. Mr.. LYMAN said, that
some plan will have to be worked
cut for the Key Bridge lights In
view Of the fact that the wind
velocity at this point Is probably
heavier than in any other section
OF the city.
