were differences of from 10 to %
per cent in the transmission of
radiation in new samples Of GER
tain glass selected at random
from the same shipment and
presumably from the same melt.
The mercury arc was found a
ready means for determining in
q few hours the stabilized trans

For two years the Bureau Of
Standards has been making an in
tensive study of the effect Of ultra

of the Bureau.
Another point Of interest is that
the unfiltered radiation from
artificial sources of light seemed TO
produce a somewhat greater de-

ADAMS, Mass, Dec. 26.-.
Nero had a counterpart here
when the Albert Hose Com

fire at the home of Carl Err

head of the house peacefully
playing his violin in the parlor

invasion of the firemen into
his home, even If their purpose
was to save it from burning.
He became so determined in
his protests that members of
the department became tired
of his interference and turned
him over to the police.

|PAONESSA NOT WORRIED
 BY STATE BOARD CRITICS
Progress in Sewage Disposal Inquiry Awaits Action by Hartford,
 He Says.

Criticism of New Britain action in not forging ahead with it's study into methods of sewage disposal, contained in the annual report of the state water commission. of which George T. kimball of this city is a member, has not disturbed Mayor Paonessa. who said today he does not favor large expenditures by New Britain until Hartford has taken definite steps.
 The mayor today disclosed that agents of the state department. have met him several times and made efforts to have the work rush. ed. He made it known that he put the question of what Hartford is doing, to these men, and their an- swer that the Capital City is work ing on it. was not satisfactory.
 The mayor regards Hartford aa the chief offender in stream pollu- ton and feels 1t is an injustice to the taxpayers Of this city to con- duct the experiments. at great cost. when there are municipalities doing more to contaminate the streams and spending nothing to remedy the condition.
