Highway Lighted With Novalux U.its. ous Illumination of the road, and have been considered a factor in making night travel safer wherever they have been installed. Where They Are in Use Early installations were made on the Paradise road, at Swampscott, Mass., and In the village of Colonie, N. Y., on the highway between Al bany and Schenectady. Detroit has installed them upon many of the highways leading into the city through the suburbs and the surrounding country. The Lincoln Highway Association has adopted them for lighting the ideal section of the famous national turnpike, this sec tion now being built in Lake County, Indiana, and a South American me tropolis, Santiago, capital of Chile, has placed an order for 150 of the units for lighting the suburban roads approaching a park. In Florida, a much-traveled pleas ure highway, the causeway between Miami and Miami Beach, is to be lighted with a large number of these units. Most interesting of any installations yet made, however, Is the plan of the town of Amherst, N. Y., near Buffalo, to light every mile of roadway within its limits with Novalux highway units. This will require between 1,000 and 1,500 of the units, and the work will not be completed for a year or two. A total of 100 miles of roadway will be illuminated. This will make Am herst undoubtedly the best lighted township in the United States. Two hundred of the units are already be ing put in, along the ma}n motor turn pike that runs through the town, and i the rest will be supplied a* called • for. et, for information of the sort men tioned means money if it can be promptly received. The experiments made by WGY, the big radio broadcasting station of the General Electric Company at Schemeo tady, N. Y., in sending out reports on markets, beginning with stock mar ket quotations, and broadening to in clude other markets, have been find ing a favorable reception. As time goes on the demand will doubtless increase. And the service to be giv en will be further broadened to meet the call fqr It The radio will give the farmer what ho has not previously been able to obtain—a semblance of a dally news paper. .

Imagine a hired man who would work for a cent an hour, require no board or lodging and think noithing of putting In from ten to fifteen or even twenty hour* a day, if desired? Most farmers would doubt their own ears If they heard about such a human marvel. Yet there is a marvel of that sort, that will do all the above — only it isn’t human. Some might say it’s more than human, which it really Is. ft’s a fairly familiar object, this super-hired man. It’s a typical elec tric motor of one-eighth horsepower, which is the equivalent of one-man power. Until farmers in various sections of the United States began adopting electrical methods, few realized how valuable electricity can be to those who follow agriculture as an occu pation. A motor of the size mention- Motor Running a Grain Thresher at Nignt. ed, which costs S4O to purchase and uses energy at the rate of less than one cent an hour, has been compared to a horse, which might cost any where from $l5O to $250, and would be an expense equivalent to 10 cents an hour after being purchased. The motor under consideration, of course, would only do one-eighth as much work as the horse, but motors come in various sizes. They can be secur ed in sizes that will do fully as much work as a horse; others will perform • much more work than a horse could do. A five horsepower motor has been found busily operating a wood saw and a feed grinder. A one-half horse power motor has given great satisfac tion In running a farm pump. The End of Water Lugging On many farms the installation of an electric light and power system would make possible some really eity conveniences, such as mest telk would associate with trolley cars, street lights, telegraph service and other metropolitan elements.

But Possible at Low Cost With Electrtic Lights. Lighting Engineers Say Any Home Will Improve Under Light Edison Invented. Electrical trade men see Indications that the subject of lighting the home is coming into its own. Much more attention is now being given this question, illuminating engineers say, than was ever before the case. Just as it is now a foregone conclu sion that a goodly percentage of new homes built during the ensuing dec ade will be of the all-electrical type, so it is also believed the lighting of those neTg homes will produce aston ishing and artistic results, in the country as well as in the city. Meanwhile, experts are pointing out with new vigor the importance of adequate lighting, the delight of artis tic lighting, and the ease with which both may be obtained in these days •f highly efficient electric lamps. A common belief of the public, that to properly light a house by electricity ■ if very expensive. Is shattered by an analysis of the matter.

Many farmers secure elec- | trie power solely, for the sake of the lights, although it must be said that they do not often stop with the lights. Other electrical Improvements follow.! Old-Time Lamps and Candles Go The time-honored kerosene lamp,; the tallow dip, with its ever-present; Jlre peril, even the almost inevitable lantern, are all apt to vanish and never return when the electric lights arrive. Those who have lived on, farms, especially folk of the present generation who were brought up on farms, whose youthful period 0* curred at a time when electric lights were as yet unknown aywhere, can recall the monotony of taking care of the kerosene lamps. Every few days they had to be re filled; ahd almost as frequently the glass chimneys had to be washed, j This latter required care, for lamp chimneys are fragile, and are apt to be slippery after coming out of warm, soapy water. Aad every night tho same laborious operation was neces sary to “light up." It would take two or three minutes sometimes to light one lamp. But times have changed mightily on some American farms —so much so that the men and women who woro boys and girls oa the old farm aad slnco have gone forth to city lift would find a fasciaatiag comparison possible If they should now return. They would find the old folks spemd lug tholr years as comfortably as oity dwellers. None of tho old routine of lighting the lamps would b* observed. Instead of that, "Pa" and "Ma” would complacently step over to the wall, twitch a switch—and the rooms would instantly shine with light! Electric Ught! When "Tom" Edison invented the first of these electric lights, many years ago, at Monlo Park, N. J., and .when W. D. Coolidge lnereased tho brilliancy of tho electric light by hi* experiments at the research labor* tery of tho General Electric Company, at Sckemeetady, N. Y., a bright possfc. bility for tho farm folk of tho United State*, as well as for tho oily folk, at once biased forth. Today the oloo trifying of tho farm, although it re quires an outlay of capital to start with, is considered worth all it oost* by those who have already accom plished it oa their own farms. their own homes can both Install and maintain an ideal lighting system for 19 cents a day—less than the pride of a cigar or the cost of an ice cream j delicacy. Moreover, there exists the ab'seaee J of that momentary but recurrent lrri< i tation that comes from a poorly placed light or a dull light. It is recog- j nized with growing appreciation that the modem brilliant electric lights make life smoother and happier tq live. Result es Edison's Genius Until 1879, when Edison produced the first practical electric lamp, such transforming possibilities remained unknown. And Edison’s work wasj supplemented by discoveries made in j the research laboratories of the Gen- 1 eral Electro Company, from came tungsten and the gas-filled lamp* These are man’s friends after night fall everywhere.
