Answer--As painful as 1t
may be. ] must tell you that
your neiehbor is right. Both

Circuit Breakers
II am building a home and
am considering using circuit
breakers instead of fuses in
the electric system. Electro
clans whom ! consulted. seem
to be divided on the subject.
What is your opinion?" B. H.
X. wants to know.
Answer am all In favor
Of circuit breakers although
both fuses and breakers are
approved by the underwriters.
! know that the building in
spection department in some
cities will not permit fuses to
be used. Circuit breakers are
very reliable and eliminate the
nuisance Of keeping spare
fuses on hand. They also
eliminate the possible hazard
caused by people putting
diversified fuses in panels.

So far no State has qualified
for the bonus. The deadline for
application is July, 1861.
Bureau officials have adhered
rigidly to standards set forth
last year by the Commerce
Secretary. Three States, Wis
consin, Connecticut and North
Dakota, are believed to have
acceptable billboard laws. Mr..
Meyer said. however, that it
first must be determined
whether these State laws are
in conflict with other State
legislation before the States
will be certified for the bonus.
Questions Raised
He said questions raised con-
corning Maryland's law include:
l. An apparent lack of con-
troll over signs erected by prop
erty owners on their own land.
2. Whether the Maryland
Roads Commission has author
ity to control content of sign
boards as provided in the Fed
eral standard.
8. Whether Maryland can
limit the number of signs ad-
vertising land for sale to one on
each side of the highway.
4. The adequacy of control
over safety features involving
billboards.

The councils statement was

State law and the county

board budgets have been SUBJ

According to charter provi-

school funds deleted by the
manager only by a 5-to-2 vote

Manager M. L. Reese trans

posed budget intact to the
council, enabling council mem

He did manage, however, to make for the nearest tree, and in the direc- tion of the sky. He was aStraddle that tree faster than he had ever mounted horse, as was his pod ner, who dropped his camera equipment and likewise widened the space between himself and the oncoming bear.
 Thus did two Texans fare on Kodiak Isle away from their Tex as corral. As they sat treed for several hours before the bear sauntered away, they must have unused on the difference between a Kodiak bear and a Texas steer. Both may kick up their heels, but when that big hunk of fur comes flying at you, you're lucky to have tree nearby.
 Tall trees are handy then. The tall tales come later.
 Since this happened the two Texans are back in their home state, safe among their high-Step- ping steers. But they will doubt Jess long remember the bear who demonstrated in a most certain manner that. he wasn't about to. be roped or tied-not by a Texan, anyway. A bear has his pride, too!
