Modern Lamps Light Way; To Economy In 1954 Living How much electric lighting has progressed in seventy-five years, and how the widespread use of current for home, industrial and farm uses has reduced its cost, are shown in comparative figures released in connection with the celebration of Light's Diamond Jubilee scheduled for today, Oct. 21. If you were to light a room with one modern 100-watt lamp for 1,000, hours and another room to the same degree of brightness with replicas of the first incandescant lamp invented by Thomas A. Edison in 1879, the contrast would be astonishing. Suppose you paid 3V2 cents per kilowatt-hour for electric current and then endeavored to light a third room just as brilliantly with candles, replacing them as they burned down during thg 1,000 hour period -- a little more than 41% days. Your bill would be: For room number 1, with its modern lamp, $3.50; for room, number 2, with its flock of old-timers, $40.74; for, room number 3, with its battery of perishing candles, $1,500. The chances are, too, that you would have some replacement charges on the equipment in roqm nurrfber 2 ($7.57, estimate), for most of the bulbs produced in the early days of electric lamps gave up the ghost long before 1,000 hours. LIGHT COMPARISON SMALL EGGS MAY BE BETTER BUY AT LOW PRICES. You cant usually save yourself some money at the grocery store if you stop, to compare weight With price when you buy eggs at a given quality. Jim Roush, egg marketing specialist at the University of Illinois College of Agriculture, says the supply of medium and small eggs is heavy at this time of year. The larger supply has lowered the price of these eggs in relation to the price of large and extra, large eggs. - For instance, Roush points out that onel' local store is selling Giade A large eggs (24 ounce) for 59 cents a dozen, Grade A medium eggs (21 ounces) for 43 cents a dozen, and Grade A small eggs (18 ounces) for 29 cents a dozen. With one dollar, then, at this store you can buy 62 ounces of small eggs, 49 ounces of medium eggs and 41 ounces of large eggs of the same quality. A similar situation exists in most Illinois stores that sell graded eggs. You won't find this difference all year, Roush warns. As this year's pullets mature and start to, lay larger eggs, the supply of large eggs will increase and the supply of small and medium eggs will decrease until the price advantage may even swing to the large eggs. Supply and demand for various egg sizes regulate their price, Roush epiphasizes. You can use this to your advantage by comparing price with weight when you shop for eggs of a given quality. Melisso Exdell, of -the Public Seivice company, admittedly wa§ surprised to learn it would take $1,500 worth of candles to do the same job for 1,000 hours that a modern 100-watt bulb can do for about $3.50. The same experiment seventy-five years ago with Edison's first lamp would have cost nearly $50.

Joe Marsh Smitty's Not-So-Silent Partner Dropped into Smitty's gas station last week and met his new partner who turned oat to be a real talker. "What'll it be?" asked Smitty. Before I had a chance to answer I heard a strange voice "Fill her up! Fill her up!" And there was Smitty's partner --one of those parakeets perched next to the gas pump. "Took rtie a month," Smitty said, "but I fiujl; taught him to say those mapc words. It's spre paid off -- he's had a-good-Influence on my customers." • From where I sit, Smitty's bird may be good for business -- and may get him a few laughs. But when people act like parakeets, they're not so funny. For instance, those who keep insisting over and over again that their neighbors shouldn't^ have a glass of temperate beer with their sup» J per now and then.
