Foater, of Dayton High School -wjih roHjionIhle for the defeat of the local hoy, taking first place In both events In which Mtd ford had entrants. ForbfH lost out hy a small mnrgln In tho hammer throw, Pouter throwing tho 12 pound .weight for n iIIbIhiico of J4G feet 9 InohcH. Tho Dayton boy repeated his victory In tho shot put, hurling n twelve poii iid. ball for it dlalanco of 40 feet and 2 Inches. ClilldcrH took third placo In thin event, Kcogglns did not place In tho dlstnnco throw. No reason can bo Heen for tho defeat of tho local nthelctc except of the fact that n muddy field might liavo hindered them an they net far better markn In pi-nc tlce., TIib hammer throwing wok noticeable on account of a new Intcr-scholastlc rec ord being not, tho former mark helng 131 foot and tho new mark being UG-9 feet.

FOR THEIR LABOR LONDON, May 13 Membors of tho Association of Hecond Division ClerkH of tho IJrltlsh Civil Service as dlssatls flod. Not long ago tlmy sent u commu ulcatlou to parllument explaining why mul asking the lawmakers to grant them relief, TIiuh far, however, parliament has not paid much attention to thum. Nor Is It likely to do so unless tho clerks succeed In breaking Into tho newspa pers on a large scale and stirring up u big scandal, What thu clerks complain of Is that they, do all tho work In tho various do. piirtments of tho government while aris tocratic officials In puroly ornamental positions at tho head of these sumo de partments get nearly all tho pay. Nat urally, parliament does not earn to alter this arrangement. Tho members of par liament are of tho aristocratic class themselves and their friends and rela tives of tho people who get big salaries In tlio civil service In return for hav ing ,tltu second division clerks do their work for them, Of course, tho labor members of tho house would like to In stitute,, reforms. Bo would a very few advanced-rnllcals In tho liberal party. Hut they are In a hopeless minority. It Is about 60 years sluco Pronilor niadstono put through a schome which he expected tu terminate thu "patron ngu" system In tho inattor of salaried appointments to tho publlo service. Un der tho Gladstone plan these appoint ments were toigoto tho most successful contestants In periodical competitive ex aminations. In theory this Is all right, but In practice It doosn't work very well.'. Tho, aristocrats have found ways of monopolizing nil the positions that me worth having ns effectually as If the Clludntono scheme hnf never been thought of. "Tho administrative posts." as tho see. mid division glurk complaint to par liament expressed it, "are almost wholly filled either by patronage or from the first division, whluh is room I tod from an uxamlntlou on the Hues or examin ations ut Oxford and Cambridge." That's the way the nrlstoemts have managed It. They have competitive ex aminations as provided under the Mind stonu scheme, lint tho examinations for the first division, which Is much better paid than tho second, are of iv kind which no one can pass but the son of a mnu who, could afford to send that sou to Ox ford or Cambridge. Alii Oxford and Cam bridge arc very expensive places. As the clerks In tlio first division do not like to do much work, however, tbeiu Is tho second vision for the n-al workers, with a different kind of examinations.

MAKING CITIES BEAUTIFY , BY NIGHT Obviously light Is tho ono Important factor In making a city attractive and beautiful at night, yet how many cities lire there wlilch nro dark and 'fearnomo Just as soon us tho sun sinks behind tho western hills. How ninny cities whoro n few feeble lights, strung nt long intervals In nn Irregular, wavering lino, try In vnln to dispel the darkness, Tho best lighted city Is always tho mnit attractive city; It Is also tho best advertised city and usually one of the, mnsi progressive ciiies, a urllllnntly lighted thoroughfare Is ?,lways crowd ed In tho evening; the merchants do a rushing business while tho dark streets lire infested with such characters n detest tho light? A well lighted city Is tne sarest city because It has been prov en time and again that light In the best policeman. Crooks, highwaymen, rob bers and other desporntu characters nly their nefarious craft best In tho subtle and disguising shadows of night. Tho first step towards beautifying tho city or town Is to Increase the number and brllllanney of the street lamps and to see that they are till uniform In slr.e and color and hung In regular lines, There nro many different colors of street lamps, varying from the orange-kellow to tho old Incandescent lamps to the green light from the mercury are lamp. Tho old typo of open nro lamp gives a blue light and thu best luminous arc lamp given a white light and Nome of tho flaring arc lamps give a yellowish red I Ik lit, Any number of cities nro still using the anthiuo forms of ate and Incandes cent lamps which were installed ten and fifteen yearH ago. True enough, they arm as good as ever and will last 'for vears. but they never were very efflel out and beautiful, anyway, ami sluro they were bought.tho lamp situation has Improved almost beyond belief. Today wc cttu get three times the light from liiciindoscent lamps for tho same con sumption of current than wo could a few years ago, and a light that Is white, like sunlight, and not a sickly yellow. Are lamps have been Improved during the past yenr or so until they rival the very sun, giving ten times tho amount of cau dle power of the old ares for the same cost of current. It Is a distinct economy for any elty or town to throw awny nuelt old lamps and buy tho new. The old horse oars are Just as good today as Ihey ever wore, but no city would think of maintaining n horse car Hue In these days of addVHUdeed eloetrleltv. A "horse car" system of street lighting Is lust as much out of date. No lonner nr the street lumps In stalled by tho "hit or miss' method. A eompeteut Illuminating engineer lays out Ihw system nnd designates where every lamp should go ty gel the hcHt results. They aro placed so tnere are no dark spots nnd hung high onotiRh to give an even distribution of IIhIiI. In this way the city may Ih brilliantly lighted for the so mi amount of current formerly WHBtcd In making some streets light and ucci'iittiMtlng the darkness of others. Aslilo from the noSHry street htmps nearly all the lmHirtnt cities of this on n try nro Installing ornamental sys tems of street lighting In the business districts In Hume eases the city does this work. In others the business men hear the entire burden and now and then they share the cost. Thus oinn mental lights sre usually Ineandescents, either supjMirted on UaniUome Iron poles, from thrwe to flv lumps to the pole, or strung In giuoeful nrvhta high above tin treats. Itlwtrtc signs play no mall part In thu Illumination wnd no ut (float hm of u elty, It Is here that the variously col ored lamps route Into thslr own and lend unrlVNlsd harmony and beauty to ih nightly Illumination of a city. The design and unlqu features of thtoh elec tric signs sre limited only by tho Imng Inatlon and they vary all the way from a tiny lllumlnnttHl name plate to great dlKtis depleting nil kludu of figures many feet in sl Itd. green, kollow, white, orange, blue and various tinted and shaded lampi are used In Illuminated sign work- Aside from the immense ad vertising value of tli ww signs .tinny play no small part In Illuminating the city streets. Store window lighting U another often Doglcoted problem or making the street attractive. Ueyond doubt the window Is tho best salesman If properly dressed and lighted, and this light, flooding out Into the street makes tne buslnessi sec tion doubly lltlriu live Automnllc switches turn off theso window llgl ' n iini d sired tim wleii tin jmcipu w glu to leave the utrecu for Home- FIRST.
