are necessary to fit into some pnru-
cular kind or size of machine or re-
ceptacle which perhaps later on be-
comes obsolete.
Everyone uses dry batteries for
some purpose. either to ring a door
bell. furnish ignition for a gasoline
engine. or as a source of illumination
in flashlights @gvaimilnr devices. In
the latter field particularly a. great
variety of devices exists. PllmnliKHIS

that a. large number of sizes of butter.
ies must be used to fit the dimerent
sizes and styles of cases. There is no
reason. however, why standardized
batteries should not be used. the cases
being made to fit them. ,
With the purpose of standardizing.
so far as possible. specifications for:
and the sizes of commercial dry cells. I
the Bureau of Standards recently call- ‘
ed a conference at which the majority}
or the manufacturers of‘ such batter-
ies. together with a large number of
users. were represented. The work was
not altogether new to the Bureau as
considerable progress had been made
along the line ot’ dry cell standardiza-
tion during the war in cooperation
with the War Industries Board. Kt
this conference 17 sizes of the larger
dry cells were considered and 7 of
these were recommended as standard,
30 different sizes and kinds of flash-
_ light batteries were considered and 8
of these adopted as standard sizes 2
sizes of batteries for use with radio ap—
paratus were also recommended as
standards for use. with wireless outfits.
It is expected that the elimination
of many sizes for which there is but
little demand and which will no longer
be considered as standard will result
in a. considerable saving in the cost
or manufacture. and. consequently.
added economy and convenience to
the public. When it is considered
that on an average 150,000,000 dry
cells are sold each year. this is a. mat-
ter of considerable consequence. Be—
side the elimination of useless sizes.
specifications were adopted for the
performance of dry cells which. it is
believed. will swat in the securing of
a. more uniform product. Beside the
important work accomplished by this
conference. it is of interest as showing
:the hearty cooperation which is being
furnished the Department inits stand-
ardization work.

The girdle is made solidly of small
gold beads, with great mock topazes
set in for trimming.
The same small gold beads are
used on the skirt, a delightful effect
being produced by using them in ra~

made in three pointed tiers. It is
