Lamp* of Early Dtjr» In the, earlier period, before 1783, lamps In this country were mostly of iron. They were crude saucers, In which the wick lay at an angle, either on a little support or directly on the edgi? of the vessel. Some of these, called betty lamps by collectors, were oval, or pear-shaped; had hooks to suspend them above the fireplace and were equipped with supports for,, the wicks to prevent them froai driin>Uig grease outside the lamp. . ; - Nation* Seek Monopolies ' "...

How barbarous those Asiatic countries are!/' --Atlanta Constitution. Washington, October 7 - It may seem a far cry to go back to Caesar to epitomize the current political scene but his commentary of centuries ago applies with pqual vigor today. The reaction of partisans to all tests of pre-election sentiment represents a state of mind best described by the philosophical Mr. Caesar, "What we wish we readily believe and what we think ourselves we imagine that others think also." The epidemic of straw-votes and test ballots, which has swept the country, has worried the practical party workers no. end because they realize the danger of a let-down during these crucial days. Hard-boiled campaigners feel that the contemporary methods of holding a finger to the wind to ascertain the drift of public balloting has a tendency to quench the fiery partisan spirit so essential to success at, the polls next month. The veteran party wheelhorses know full weir that straws in the wii^d provoke either feigned or real exuberance. . Anyhow the elation presents more palatable food for small talk on matters political. Yet these unofficial inquiries do not jibe with the bitter truths discovered by fretful agents making a genuine check of the real intentions of the voters. A digest of confidential reports from field workers adopting thorough methods shows the responsible chieftains that the election will not be a cut and dried affair as expected by amateur prognosticators in both camps. The active participation of former Governor A1 Smith in the campaign and his open espousal of the Landon candidacy has created an uncertain political situation not altogether anticipated by either Presidential candidate. The dopesters felt Jjjmith would attack the New Deal but never believed he would make % definite declaration for the G.O.P. ticket. The tremendous personal following that has been Smith's over a long period of years makes his part in the campaign an unknown quantity for the calculators. The speculations among leaders today is to the effect that Smith will lead many away from the Democratic standards, especially in the larger cities in the East and Middle West.

"Howdy, professor," retorted the delinquent one. ities at all opponents of the New Deal, riveted the spotlight on a propaganda feature which the politicians would like to keep hidden. Whether Smith's walk to the Republican camp weakened his hold- on his followers is a highly controversial iteni In the political grist mill. Additional evidence that the life cf partisan leaders is not all beer and skittles may^-be found .in the vexing matter of mustering votes of relief workers. Conscioifs of the Democratic high command's trouble^ with this class, the G.O.P. is taking cautious steps in wooing the discontents. ,The latest report of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration calls attention to the regulations governing relief reading as follows: "there shall be NO DISCRIMINATION because of race, religion, color, noncitizenship or POLITICAL AFFILIATION." Skeptical as to the actual application of this rule, the Republicans have, announced their intention tg^police the voting booths. They propose to watch for frauds in Voting of relief workers and. will challenge their eligibility a& registered voters. Native-born citizens resent the dominance of aliens on reilef lists. Labor shortages have intensified the demand from many regions for drastic regulations to make the able-bodied work instead of loaf. Constant exposure of tricks used to obtain a place on relief lists like the transfer o#bank accounts to out of town banks or to pft§tbl savings where they are immune from investigators irritates many communities. Relief officials knowing something of incipent mutinies in the ranks of relief workers are not so sanguine as the party scouts as to their ability to keep the beneficaries in line. The same conditions prevail with regard to the thousands of farmers who will receive crop checks within a few days-- just before the election. . When business leaders seeking profits and rehabilitation of their trade steer away from huge government contracts it is reasonable to believe things are not what they seem. The Government Contracts Act, which became effective last week is considered bait for industries which have heretofore avoided Federal regulation. The new law requires all bidders on government contracts amounting to more than $10,000 to subscribe to minimum hour and "Wage requirements which was a feature of6 the defunct NRA. Until this disputed law is handled by the courts, it ils unlikely that industries will rush to the bidding counter to sign on^the dotted line. An administrative board will be named shortly, but will be handicapped by the hostility of government purchasing agents, who feel the law will boost the cost of materials. More than usual significance will be attached to the regulations which the Social Security Board will issue for the registration of 27 million workers eligible for old age pensions. A front- |1 criticism of the Act by the G.O.P. and a strong Democratic defense have been responsible for placing this subject in the political arena. „No matter which party wins it is probable that amendments to the present statute will be offered at the next Congress. The cataloguing of eligibles will be postponed until the week following the elections.
