A portion of the steam supplied for this service Is exhaust steam taken from the steam turbines used for electrical generation. The steam distribution system comprises over six miles of steam mains, ranging in size front one inch to sixteen inches in diameter, carried both on overhead supporting frames and underground in specially constructed subways.

The steam pipes are care fully insulated to prevent loss of heat through radiation, as would be the case if the pipes were bare. The steam mains are also equipped with suitable drains, drips, expansion Joints, valves, etc. THE average reader is no doubt somewhat familiar with the Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation's activities in selling gas, electricity, cokt and Bengas, but he is probably not so familiar with the fact that the Company sells steam for industrial and heating purposes. About four teen years ago the Company started to sell steam for industrial and heating purposes on a small scale, and since that time this phase of the bust ness has grown until today there are over one hundred steam customers, requiring over six miles of steam piping and using about 650,000,003 pounds of steam yearly.

"Boxinj nowadays doesn't put much premium en cleverness or ring generalship," said "Gentleman" Jim.

According to Corbett, the ltetroit boxer needs only a little more experience before taking on the first flight of heavyweights. ter has two sets of backfield men and it has bene Coach Sullivan's plan since the middle of the season to develop each principally for a different attack. This one hundred or one hundred and ninety pounds per square Inch, directly from the boilers, The most common applications are for-heating dry rooms, kilns and ovens and for heating water used for general purposes about the factories and of fices.

It Is also used extensively in the manufacture of optical goods, photographic supplies, shoes, shoe polishes, paper and pasteboard boxes, leather tanning, candy and confections, food products, etc. The demand for this class of service is continuous throughout the year. The heating steam service is supplied only during the colder period of the year, from the latter part of September to the first of June. For this service steam Is used at low pressure, varying from approximately one to five pounds per square inch for used in heating systems and where all the steam used is returned in condensed form for metering. In cases where it is impossible to measure alt of the stea.n by means of the condensation meter, because a portion or all of it Is used in certain manufacturing processes, the steam flow meter is used.

This meter is more complicated and measures the flow of the steam as it enters the consumer'! heating system. The Company maintains a staff of experts who consult with and advise the steam customers relative to their steam piping layout and the most economical method of using the steam.

The convention rejected a proposed amendment to the constitution providing for abolition of the individual registration fee of ".5 cents and discontinuance of the annual regulation requirement. Approval was given to another proposed amendment providing that organisations desiriilg athletes for competition must negotiate with the clubs with which the athlete is affiliated and not with the individual, as now authorized, The amendment also compels an athlete to secure a permit showing the dates and places where he will compete, such permit to be filed wtih the Registration Committee of the local district in which the competition is held.
