Officials View Marvellous Device For Safeguarding
 State Highways

Al the golden glow Of suraset Wednesday evening eignalIed the end Of natural illumination for the day an experimental installation of electric illumination at the Marl- borough -four ccrnersv on the Hart ford-New London highway was automatically switched on, batll- ing the intersection in Q manner rivaliing tho suns rays and marking . most important epoch in the pro- motion Of greater security and safe- ty on Connecticut's highways for vehicular and foot traffic.
 State Highway Commissioner John 4. Macdonald, Motor Vehicle Com- missioner Michael 4. Connor and State Police Commissioner Anthony Sunderland and the members of the State Traffic Commission were iI1- terested spectators of this event. No human hand played . part in this unofficial initiation of the Marl- borough experimental illumination setup. As the state officials, and an absorbed group of motorists, waited for the sun to set the fad- ing natural light decreased to such Q point that c photo-eicctriC cell, registering the intensity of natural light, sprung c switch and the lrl- tersectscn instantly was illuminated to c daylight degree, evoking from tho audience a chorus Of apprecia- tive exclamations.
 The illumination comes from Twelve 10000 lumen sodium high. way lamps slnilar to those being placed on . number of the coun- try's mainline highways for night safety.
 One Color
 "sodium light is monochromatic in character is, 1t giows in but one color, whereas daylight is made up of oil colors," according to c technical explanation of the inc stalIation of Dudley M. Diggs of the General Electric company. "Iilumin- ateG objects are not rendered In their natural colors, therefore; but in highway lighting this is no dis- advantage as it would be. In most interior lighting where color dis. criminatoin is important. On the contrary, the golden light appears, soft and pleasing to motorists eyes, eliminating tho impressions of dis. comforting glare often associated with other highway lights. In addi. ton, the light of the sodium arc falls in Q region of the color spec trum near that point where niaxi- mum eye sensitivity is experi- enced".
 The sodium lamp is . new kind of highway light which has marked the first radical departure in more than 90 years of conventional arc and incandesccnt lamps. It made Us American premier along q half-mile of the Balltown road, near ScheFi- ectady, N. Y., in June, 1883, after years of research by General Elec- tric physicists and engineers as well as thorough studies of similar development abroad.
 High Efficiency

FEDERAL TAXES

only S3.44 on each 500 in 1888,
Treasury figures showed today.
This was the largest proportion OF
Federal taxes on income paid by
Americans since 1923, when the
average tax was S4.62 for each 500
of net income.
The 1888, $50 Federal income tax
payers last year paid total income
taxes of s506, 48l, 123 on an aggre-

In 1888 the 1928, 558 taxpayers paid
taxes of 1912 ,967.76l on a total net
income of S10,845, 653 ,532.
The 1884 figures showed a rever-
sal of the trend toward a lesser bur-

payer. Last year total incomes of
$4,000 or less amounted to S7,485,-
100000 or 5000 per cent of the in

PORKER PRICES
STEADY TO 10
CENTS LOWER
Cattle Market Unchanged;
Veals Sharply Lower
at S12 Down.

Porker prices continued to display
weak undertone in the initial ses-
sion of the new year today at the
indianapolis Union Stockyards The
market was steady to generally 10
cents lower than Tuesdays best av-
erage
Increased receipts combined with
slightly weaker demand we're con-
strued as the two depressing factors
in today's session. The supply was
estimated at 5000, compared with
5000 in the two preceding sessions
this week. Several traders now,
however, expect a definite trading
range since passing of the holiday
season. HoldoverS carried over from
Tuesday numbered 119.
The general bulk of 100 to 235
pounds, brought $3.50 to $3.50, while
medium grades, scaling from 235 to
275 pounds, ranged from 1925 to
$3.50. Heavies, weighing 275 pounds
and upward, cashed in at $3.50 to
500 Light kinds, from 100 to 14O
pounds, were salable at $3.50 to
1925. Packing sows ranged from
SITS to 1925. Few better classes
held at $3.50.
Trading developed slow in the
cattle market, with early steer sales
steady. Although the early bulk
price was not established, indica-
tions were around $40 for the ma
jority of classes. Best heifers were
slow and inactive, with most cows
steady. Beef cows sold from $3.50
to $625. Bulls brought $3.50 to Sc.
Receipts numbered 1900.
With liberal supply on hand,
the veal market moved sharply so

$11.50 to $12. Receipts numbered
800. Lamb trading was undeveloped
with few native grades weak to

S10.75 down. Few held at Sill.
Slaughter sheep sold at $3.50 down.
Receipts were $500.

BETTER YEAR
V|S|ONED FOR
COTTON TRADE
Government Abandonment
of Price king Venture
Feature of 1885.
By United Press

By United Press
NEW YORK, Jan. Cotton fu-
lures were depressed sharply early
in the year, but recovered and the
spot position closed 1885 not far be-
low a year ago. Cotton traders
looked ahead to 1896 more cheer
fully because of the change for the
better in fundamental conditions.
Abandonment by the government
of its price-fixing venture and re-
capture subsequently of American
foreign markets were features of
the year.
The Ethiopian war and
general business improvement COM
bined to aid the cotton market once
it had overcome the difficulties of
change in the government loan plan.
Before those changes the market
was gloomy. Exports fell, as did
world consumption, of the Ameri-
can staple, while foreign growths
were stepped up.
Bounty System Adopted
With start of the 1935-36 season
the AAA abandoned it's price fixing
program and substitu- cd a bounty
system designed to allow American
cotton to compete abroad and at the
same time to check the rising trend
of government ACCUMULATED loan
staple.
1t guaranteed an average return
OF II cents pound to cooperating
farmers by payments to equal such
difference between IL cents and the
average price of middling in the 10
designated spot markets.
1t fixed the loan basis at 10 cents
so that if prices fell below that
mark, farmers could turn staple into
the pool until the price was bettered.
The immediate result was a price
break. Later, however, prices made
progressive improvement.
Shipments to Britain TripIed
cAPOi 10 WCIC dCCtlcl dGcu. Culp-
ments to Great Britain tripled.
They rose some so per cent to the
continent, but dropped about IS per
cent to the Orient. The total move
ment from Aug. to the end of the
year rose nearly 100000 bales over
1884.
World consumption of American
cotton, now relatively cheap against
foreign growths, increased to an in
dictated seasonal rate of better than
12,500,G00 bales-with the October
pace the highest since 1929.
The 1885 crop also was bullish,
totaling 10,734,000 bales, a large per-
centage of which was low in grade
and staple, compared with earlier
indications of 10000 900 bales.
In view of the producers pool
holdings of some 100000 bales Of
spot and 100000 of futures
scarcity of American cotton por-
tended, since carryover at the end
of the 1934-35 season, including
pool stock, aggregated only 10000
bales.
Uncertainty regarding disposal Of
The pool cotton and sporadic sales
of this staple retarded price recov-
cry.
