"It must be admitted," said Pro-
fessor Curtis in conclusion, "that if
these markings really exist, there
seems to be no escape from the con-
clusion that they were constructed
by intelligent beings; they are too
straight and too artificial to be the
result of chance. Nearly all the
I books written on the subject repre-
sent the hypothetical Martians as far
superior to us human beings."

{
CLEVELAND, 0., Nov. 11.--)-
Now comes the electric light blub
made entirely of glass.
Only the flment is metal in niw
high-wattage lamps designed by D.
K. Wright, General Electric engi-
neer, for airways, baseball parks and
movie lots.
Base of the lamp, formerly made
of metal parts to fit into the socket,
is now built of tough, pressed "piej
plate" glass.
Besides the filament, the only
metal parts are two copper tips which
slip into the socket.
Since Edison made his first incan-
descent lamp tiLe problem of leading
the electric current into the bulb, I
which had to be perfectly sealed to
prevent escape of the gases, has been
difficult.
Edison solved it by leading plati-
num wires through a glass seal. The
3xpansion of this metal and of glass
s about the same.
Modern manufacture has dictated
ise of tungsten for the lead wires.
The new method gets around the
problem by not leading the current
through the glass at all. Connection
is made inside the hollow copper tips,
closed at the ends, outside the bulb

Utility CommissliOn
Rates I vestigated
By City Of Detroit
LANSING, Mich ,Nov. 11.-
(Mins)-Charging that the Michigan,
Public Utility Commission has acted
as a "rubber stamp" for the Detroit
Edison Company, and that that com-
pany's president has dictated rate
schedules for thirty years, the City of
Detroit has filed briefs here demand-
ing immediate reduction of all rates
and an aprisa of the Edison plant
for the purpose of obtaining reliable
data for rate making.
The electric power rates which the
city's attorneys claim are regularly
set by Alex Dow, the Edison presi-
dent, and accepted by the Comiiis-
sion without exception, have been
set by him without regard for "any
of the legal methods laid down for
rate-making purposes," according to
the petition.
Testimony as to lowered operating
costs already heard by the Commis-
sion justifies, the petition holds, the
demand for downward revision of
rates.
