ForbfH lost out hy a small mnrgln In
tho hammer throw, Pouter throwing tho
12 pound .weight for n iIIbIhiico of J4G

feet and 2 Inches. ClilldcrH took third
placo In thin event, Kcogglns did not

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

WANT TO BE PAID ,.
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 '
