Sington Doubtful Prospect.

THERE is considerable more doubt
as to whether Fred Sington, the
2l0-pound former foot ball star
from Alabama, is a big-league ball
player. Sington, who'll patrol left field
in the remaining three games, now
that Heinie Manush has been excused
for the season, is fast for big fellah,
fair fielder and hits the ball with
tremendous power-when he hits it
squarely. Whether he can do this
against ig-league hurting is a ques-
ton. He belted for 1881 with Albany,
swatted 29 homers and broke the
runs-batted-in record mark for the
International League with $50.

SIGHT METER
Home Service Bureau Provides
Accurate Check on Lights
in Individual Homes

For several years the Home
Service Bureau of the Potomac
Electric Power Company has been
giving to the women Of Washing
ton unexcelled recipes for electric
cookery.
The Home Service Bureau is
now equipped to give recipes IN
lighting. A definite amount OF
light is necessary for each see
ing task, to produce easy, comfort
able seeing without eyestrain or
fatigue.
Individual Needs
It is impossible to give a stand
ard recipe for lighting as, is done
for cooking. This is due to the
diversity found in homes In the
architecture. decorative schemes,
manners OF living, individual
family tastes, and requirements.
Each home must have its lndl-
vidual recipe.
A service has been inaugurated
by the Home Service Bureau OF
the Potomac Electric Power Com
pany giving the people OF Wash
ington an opportunity to receive
these recipes. Upon request and

goes into the homes to give TINS
service.
The sight meter is used to meas
ure the quantity of light and to
give correct amounts Of light
needed for various tasks. This
new measuring device is a small
instrument not unlike a thermom-
eter which tells the amount OF
heat or cold in a room, as it tells
the amount of light. One can
see at a glance whether or not
there is ample light for reading
normal print, writing, reading fine
print or sewing.
Suggestions Given
Suggestions are given as to how
the maximum efficiency may be
obtained from the present light

it is possible to turn wasted light
into useful light. A written rec
