GLOVE MANUFACTURE.

Fifteen Million Dollars Invested In
This Industry, Not a Century Old.
"The art Of glove-making, once fol-
lowed exclusively by women, is now
pursued largely by men," writes Frank
Fl. Vizetelly In the Woman's Home
Companion.
This Is due chiefly to the introduc-
ton Of machinery, used to-day for sew
Ing and pressing the seams, and to i'm
proved means for drafting patterns
which were formerly Of paper or wood.
Then the glover, laying his pattern on
the leather, would mark 1t in outline
with lead pencil and cut 1t out with
shears. The glove, which was sewn
by hand and the seams pounded, then
went through the process of pressing.
This was done by placing 1t between
two boards, on which the glove-maker
sat while making another pair. In the
manufacture of the modern glove the
operator, having cut the leather, folds
1t over SO that the back Is larger than
the front. Then he makes three cuts
through the doubled pieces, SO that 1t
may produce the back and front for
the four fingers. Next an ovoid hole
Is cut for the insertion of the thumb
piece. Before completing the work on
the first and fourth fingers long strips,
or gussets, are sewn on the inner side;
but In the second and third fingers gus
sets are sewn on both sides. After
ward small acknowledged pieces are
cut, fitted and sewn at the interdigital
folds or base of the fingers. The orna-
mental embroidery is then stitched ON
the back, the buttons or fasteners 1T
ted, and the wrists hemmed; then the
glove isfinished. In the sewing tooth
ed wise or clamp is used to regulate the
size of the stitches. Glove-workers are
divided into three classes: Those who
seam the fingers and put in the thumb
are called the makers; those who hem
the edges at the wrist, welters, and
those who embroider the back, point
ers. The average earnings of all classes
Is only two dollars a day. In our own
country no less than $15, 1000, 900 Is in
vested in the glove industry, which first
settled in Gloversville, New York, in
1909. At this time the skins used were
those Of deer received by traders In ex.
change for tin. Rough mittens were
the first product of this settlement, and
the first load of gloves that went to
Boston was forwarded In 1926"

Tribute From Gen. NILES.

Major General Nelson A. Miles pays a
glowing tribute to the valor of the Amer
lean soldiers in the fight at Manila.
"The American soldiers have again met
with remarkable success, just as they did
all through the late war;" he said. ''This
last conflict and its glorious results is but
another testimonial to the courage, patri-
otism and gallantry of our soldiers. They
respond nobly to call to duty and acquit
themselves with honor.
"All reports show that officers and men
distinguished themselves by their GOODNESS
and true American fortitude under fire.
Their heroism adds to the fame of our
army.
II feel quite certain that the conflict
will have salutary effect upon the in
surgents and will doubtless discourage
them from renewing hostilities."

An important decision has been made

precedent that was established in New

dangerous henceforth. A non-union
printer sued the sSs: Francisco Typo

cause he lost his job and claimed he could
get no other on account Of having no
union card. On Thursday he was award
ed $1,000. Similar cases are pending in
a number of cities and the conclusion Of
the foregoing case has been watched with
great interest on both sides.

Plains of Abraham in Danger.

The historic battlefield close to Que.

generals of the opposing forces In the
struggle for Canada, Wolf and Mont

some danger of seizure at the hands Of
that ubiquitous vandal, the speculative

eminent holds the site is nearing its
expiration, and 1t Is feared that the
actual owners, the nuns Of the Hotel

handsome proposals of Buggins, the

epochmaking, historical scene seems
incredible. The government Of the Do
minion will doubtless take immediate
steps to secure the Plains of Abraham.

HiRh-Priced Fish.

At certain season in the year-usu.
ally about the first of October-it is the
custom of the commissioners who have
charge Of the great parks In Chicago
to permit fishing in the artificial lakes
at certain hours In the morning, the
fishermen in all cases being required to
use the boats that are kept for hire.
This is to prevent the banks from being
thronged with gangs Of hoodlums.
Early one October morning the edit
or of one of the great Chicago dailies
appeared at a West Side park with q
friend, both equipped with fishing out
fits of the most approved pattern. They
secured a boat, and then the editor In
quired If there were any live minnows
on hand.
The keeper Of the boat-house inspect
ed his bait bucket and found just one,
q diminutive specimen about an inch
and half in length. He fshed this out
and handed it over. Throwing him a
silver half dollar and telling him to
KEEP the change, the editor took this
minnow, climbed into the boat, and
rowed out to the middle Of the lake,
where he fished for half an hour with
out result.
At the end of that time he hauled in
his line, looked carefully at the min
now, took a pencil and notebook from
his pocket, did little figuring, and re-
turned to the shore
"What did you get?" he was asked,
when he appeared at the Office later in
the day.
Zone fish," he replied, land it cost
me two hundred dollars a pound"
This, it is believed, is the highest
price ever paid for live fish in Chicago.
