WASHINGTON, April 5.—With clashing claims of “Nordic supremacy” and denials of “Latin inferiority,” the house was launched today upon its bitterly disputed consideration of the Johnson immigration bill.

With this thought in mind the merchandise department of the power company in co-operation with thelr engineers developed an economical lighting system which is claimed should rightfuly be termed daylight light- ing. The effect of a demonstration in an eastern city of a similar sys- tem may be realized, by quoting figures. from a power company of Mansfield, Ohio, which shows that more than 1,100 fixtures were in- stalled immediately following the demonstration in that city. The pow- er company, although planning to exhibit a number of interesting elec- trical products, has expressed a wish to have other dealers in elec- trical equipment and supplies place their products on display and say they may enter more products after the loca! dealers havé made their selection of displayr at the exposi- tion.
