We’ve never seen such an ad, either. But if other
prices had gone down with the same consistency and
at the same rate as the cost of electric lighting in your
home, such an advertisement would not be extraor
dinary today. Prices wotdd be just that low.
For since 1913, THE COST OF ELECTRIC
LIGHTING IN THE HOME HAS BEEN RE
DUCED 57 PER CENT.
If st ak of the sirloin variety, which was’selling for
an av; age of 25 cents a pound back in 1913, milk,
bread, ham and potatoes had gone down as much,
their p dees today would be just about as you see
them i sted in our imaginary advertisement.
The greatly reduced cost of lighting has been due
to twe tilings: an increase of 71.8 per cent in the
efficict y of electric lamps (we admit you can’t do
much to improve the efficiency of a sirloin steak)
and A DECREASE OF 26.3 PER CENT IN THE

USE OF SUGAR TO MAKE BUILDINGS
STRONGER FORECAST BY SCIENTISTS

‘‘Sweetened Mortar” Tests at
Mellon Institute Prove
Successful
BUILDINGS, bridges, and other
structural work, built with the aid
of common cane sugar, used as one
of the construction ingredients, which
will last longer and be far stronger
than those in existence today, are
visualized by scientists of the Mellon
Institute of Indust.ial Research.
Their findings based on research
work now in progress were revealed
in a paper presented before the Sugar
Division of the American Chemical
Society at Its meeting in New Orleans
by Drs. Gerald J. Cox and John
SERVICE.
While the cost of the commodities
displayed above, as well as the gen
eral cost of living, is still far ABOVE
the prices of 1913, the cost of electric
service is far BELOW what it was in
pre-war days, one of the very, very
few necessities of life about which
that can be said.

Institute staff.
It was found, Dr. Cox stated, that
by “sweetening” • mortar, or plaster,
it was possible to increase the tensile
strength by approximately sixty per
. cent, thus lengthening the life, of the
. structure.
Such use of sugar Dr. Cox stated,
! is not wholly new as It is believed
1 that the Romans made use of sac
’ charine materials in mortars which
> have stood the test of time. Also in
I some of the sugar growing countries,
sugar has been used in mortar.
The Mellon Institute discoveries,
. however, now make possible the gen
eral use of sugar in modern construc
tion work.

i the empirical practice of sweetening

mortar. The experiments showed
that mortar which contains sugar
equal to six per cent of the quick lime
content has a tensile strength of sixty
per cent greater than that of mortar
containing no sugar. Further tests
are planned of compression strength,
setting time, and durability as influ
enced by cane sugar.
The process of mixing the sugar
with the mortar is quite simple. The
sugar is dissolved in part of the gaug
ing water and mixed in with the sand
and lime.
With .he present low price of sugar,
the five or six pounds of sugar neces
sary for 100 pounds of lime is only a
small addition to the coat of laying
bricks or plastering a wall.
