w^teway r Advantages of Ornamental j Street Light ins: Such as We Bate Installed: iu Our f ? Beautiful Little Gaiae cb*k City, ^umter; m ? : s. c.. - ? IX* .V... 1 The standard of illumination on our streets was-set by the" op-en type arc lamp which emitted a higher candle power than that ?given by the enclosed arc lamp lat er substituted. This* change in the type of lamp tended to decrease the standard of illumination-and it was generally lower than was custom ? Vary in the larger cities.. ' < ffiivThe lighting of our streets at night is a vital municipal issue and adequate . illumination, besides be ing a convenience is,-in addition, a protective necessity to every com munity. Good lighting is an- in dication of prosperity, and an in vestment in a well designed orna hrentaF street lighting system-pays large dividends to the taxpayers in enhanced -real estate values. - Good street lighting creates a -psycholo gical impression of thrift and pro gress, advancing civic -pride,- at tracting favorable publicity and promoting other improvements. - It assists the fire departments, face tates congested traffic and de creases crime, j ; Since the introduction of the* high 1 efficiency Mazda incandescent lamp, which has revolutionized street lifting, the ornamental cluster post of earlier days and the arc) lamp are no- bmger seriously con sidered. Modern development fa vors single light post equipped to distribute and direct the light on the plane- of illumination. The> se lection of suitable 'glassware for tRe lighting units is an important factor in the-success of an orna mental street lighting system. A visible filament introduces an ele ment of glare which is "bbSeetionk able when the ? light- source - is withicr the range of vision of-the pedestrian or vehicle driver. Dif fusing glassware-is generally desir - abT? wfVh single light posts sfndf ? should be ef such a type^ that the filament of the lamp is invisible* while the absorption of the glass 1 ware should"be low. The mayor and- commissioners - have taken all of the above facts in consideration in the1 -purchase of the system which has just been ? completed and installed, and tfhich we kjaow is second to no other city from appearance, in the country.

LIGHT ON THESUBJEGT The American Legion Explains the Occa sion of a Misun derstanding The original intention of the American Legion to observe Fri day, November 10th, instead of Saturday, November 11th as the day on which they would cele brate Armistice Day was brought! about by the fact that they Were very desirous in this their initial attempt at Conducting Armistice Day exercises, to'have their efforts supplemented by those of the school, childre?, who have in the past rendered such attractive pro grams oh this occasion. ' As mat ters now stand, the Legion feels that we should observe the lith iii order to comply with the!act of congress and the wishes of the president in this matter, and also, from a standpoint of respect to the fallen heroes. The merchants of Sumter who have always answered readily to any call made upon them by the American Legion in Sumter. heid to Friday rather than Saturday be cause we now learn that they felt in so doing they were giving heed to the wishes of the -exrservice men and the Legion feels that in justice to them that they should let the public of Sumter know that this original intention on the part of the merchants to observe: Friday was through no lack of patriotism, but that they were doing what they considered to be, falling in line with the rest of the celebration of the city!

Mr. Don M. Blandrng has sug gested to Secretary Reardon ,thiaf something be done to get Sumter merchants to list all of the "Made in Carolina"" and "MadeN in Sumter county" " commodities hat said Sumter merchants have for sale, and to advertise what they are, so i that Sumter county consumers will! know what stores or other places gf business handle these lines ?nd i what are for ?ale. This seems to be ? good idea ana* Secretary Rear don is ready to help in any way he can to put this into effect. Miss Caro? Truluck, county home) demonstration agent has sold a lot of Sumter county, made jellies and jams through the Sumter mer chants, but if the demand werej sufficient- for Sumter county made products she could gradually in crease the amounts needed and many thousands of Sumter county dollars would' be kept at home for redistribution. Mr. Pierce, the leader and the "other young men" of the Young Men's Business League booster choir have been highly compliment ed first by the ladies of Stateburg No. 10 school district calling them "young men" and secondly by be ing invited to go to Stateburg No. 3 0 school, riear Horatio on Friday evening, November 17th to sing at the hot supper at that school. Mrs. W. M. Lenoir, Jr., principal of that school has written to Sec retary Reardon of the Chamber of Commerce and requested that he "extend this invitation to these young men Who sang at Rembert, and also to invite everybody else in Sumter and Sumter county to at tend this hot supper. Mrs. Lenoir says "this will be a good time to boost Sumter in this community." Stateburg No. 10 school is going to be in the big pageant of progress parade on County School Day, November 24, and Mrs. James Simmons and Mrs. Lenoir, the teachers" think that Sumter's business men and women, and oil others should go to the hot ! supper. The young men who are invited to sing at the supper, are also in vited to notify Secretary Reardon, unless they want to reply in person or by committee to the invitation of these Stateburg ladies, but the secretary is perfectly willing to carry the acceptance of the invita tion to these charming ladies of Stat< burg township, even if they do not refer to him as a "young fel low.''

Our idea of nothing is to be paid off with German marks. IFAVORPLAN TO GIVE AID TOJpiANY: Moratorium Advoca ted by Experts to Help Mark?Stabil^ zation. of German! Money is View of the Committee _________ i Berlin, Nov." 8.?(By the Asso- I ciated Press).?The report of the; experts who have been investigating ! economic conditions in Germany, ,Profs. Keynes, Brand, Jenks' arid ; Casel, advocated a, two years' mo- | ratorium from reparations pay ments of cash or in kind and sta- | bilizatiori of the mark on the ba- | sis' of 3,000 to 3,500 marks to the dollar by utilizing the Reichbank's gold reserve. The report contends that the financial problem cannot be solved unless the rhark is sta bilized and' that stabilization would be impossible without a morator iurri. The moratorium rhight need to be extended and payments should notj be resumed until Germany is able to discharge them from a real bud get surplus, which the experts think Imay be attainable in two years, j Thus stabilization would depend I for' success riot on a foreign loan, j but on development of the cohdf ! tibns of production arid final- set tlement of the rep?rati?ris prob lem. "They consider their plans would be facilitated if in the meantime negotiations were started With ? [consortium of bankers to support stabilization by modest credits, and also that a foreign loan cannot be expected until the reparations prob lem is finally settled. I The experts state that Geririany j should have equal rights with oth ! er nations to impose duties On luxu- j ries and the right to demand the j iriost favored nation treatment asj regards exports. The signatories ? believe it is neither, necessary nor practicable to prohibit absolutely j I an increase in the floating debt, but I j that With the mark stabilized it^ [ would be possible to allow just enough further increase to tidb over immediate difficulties. They point out that on the basis' of 3,500 marks to the dollar the" Reichbank's gold would be about twice the value of the note Issu?, and that this is an unprecedented situation, as no other currency has fallen into- such a state, with' so great af potential support unutiliz ed; "When stabilization is fully ac complished, it is remembered a new uriit should be adopted for general convenience: The report suggests' that Ger Tnai.y should offer the following definite guarantees: First, an independent board of exchange control, constituted as-a! specie? department within the or g?ni:iafion of the Richsbanfc' andj an understanding that the Reichs-! bank would hold adequate gold j from its reserves at the disposal of! such a boardl 3 Second, so\long as any part of i such gold is unpledged paper j marks should be purchased by -the j board of exchange on demand. Third, the aggregate value of the net floating debt shall not be in-.] creased beyond a'defined figure, all] other governmental requirements ] for credit to" be covered by a fund- | ed loan.. It shall also be provided that ; the resources bf the board of ex change control shall be exempt from interference. I The report states that on con-, sent of the reparations commit tee to the foregoing measures the following steps should be adopted: I First, financial cooperation arid [the support of an international fi , nancial consortium to be invited. Second, a foreign currency re [ serve, on such a scale as may be required, to be created on a basis ; of the gold at the disposal of the board of exchange in conjunction with cities which may negotiate j I with the international consortium. Third, abolition of exchange reg I ukttions and restoration of free ! and unrestricted dealings in ex change and foreign securities. It is recommended further that ; the bank rates be raised to a i high point and dear money main- j ! tained until stabilization is quite secure.
