It can hardly be expected that three days of unusual spending brought about by the adoption of this plan will prove to be the solution to all present business difficulties, but it will at least "start the ball rolling" and do much to allay the fear that now grips at the hearts of many salaried people.

Although effective as displays, these lights are expensive because of the high voltages necessary to start them glowing. Last week Raymond R. Machlett, 30, Manhattan electrical engineer who, when he was 26, was one of the first to develop a commercially satisfactory Neon tube, announced that by altering the construction slightly, he had been able to light a neon lamp with a 220-volt current, the ordinary household voltage...
