BETTER HOURS AND WAGES
Attendants in Illinois State In
situations to Demand a more
Favorable Scale and to Press
II to an Early Settle
ment.

Chicago, Aug. I'm spite of the re-
peated denials on the part of the
county officials. it is believed that
trouble is brewing between organized
labor and the county board, unless
Superintendent Podstata and the
county board make certain changes
regarding the employment of atten-
dants and nurses.
The union, which has among it's
members practically all of the at
tendants and nurses at the Dunning in
situations, has made certain demands
of the county board and employed j.
J. Sullivan, an attorney, to represent
it in the proceedings mapped out. The
union, like the Chicago school
teachers, is affiliated with the Chicago
Federation of Labor The attendants
desire more salary and shorter hours.
While they have no objection to
working longer than the day of eight
hours which they desire shall be fixed,
they demand extra money for over
time. According to the union officials
attendants are paid from $40 to $35 a
month and they want an eigh-hour day
at the rate of 171a cents an hour and
rs cents for every hour over that time
At present 20 attendants receive $35
salary a month. The annual ap-
preparation provides that So at
tendants shall be employed, five of
whom shall receive a monthly salary
of $40.
The attendants in their communica-
tion to the county board and to Presi-
dent Foreman declare that no at
tendant receives $40 a month and that
not more than SIS have been employed.
OF this number IA attendants are
assigned to the dining-room, brea1
room and dishwashing-room so th4r
Al attendants take care of the patiezts
nearly all of the time. In certain
wards, according TO the communica,
ton, two attendants watch. guard
and take care of 125 patients. while
it is said that at Elgin five and six
attendants are required to do the same
work
Another complain is that the fire.
men pay but SIS month for board.
while the attendants are required to
pay $40 for meals eaten from the same
table at the same time.
The union declares that the condi-
lions at the poorhouse are "as bad. if
not worse, than they are in the
hospital for the insane" Teonaa
asserts that several trainel d 16rses re-
ceiVe salary of $50 q month to do
the same work thS<other nurses are
required to do for - and SIS a
month.

STRAW IN EGYPTIAN BRICK.

The ancient Egyptians had a
process for making bricks which rem
dered them very hard, yet easy to
work. An American engineer, Mr..
Acheson, thinks he has discovered
their secret. The Egyptians used
straw, and by boiling straw in water
and mixing clay with it he found that
it gave hard, shapely bricks that did
not crack nor deform in baking.
Analysis proved the effect due to
tannin dissolved in water. Further
experiments showed that from one-half
to one per cent. of the tannin of com
merce added to the resistance of the
brick. The process also economies
water, and such bricks dried in the
sun are even more solid than those of
the kiln.-London Globe.

TELEGRAMS IN BRIEF.
ELECTION OF POPE.

Cardinal Agliardi is said to have
been offered the papal secretaryship
of state.
Pope Plus X was crowned in ST.
Peters church at Rome Sunday under
a canopy forty feet high.
Leo XIII. was bound by a promise
to Cardinal Gibbons that he would
create no other American cardinals.
His successor is under no such pledge
and a new member of the sacred col
lege in the United States is likely.
Cardinal Giuseppe Sarto, patriarch
of Venice, was elected pontiff by the
cardinals at Rome on the seventh bal
lot, and the title of Plus X was chosen
by him. His name was not voted On
at first, as the cardinals were split in
two parties.

IRRIGATION FROM WELLS.

Texas Farm and Ranch: Well
irrigation is destined to play an
important economic factor in south
Texas. A few years ago it was
though impractical to employ the
well and windmill as means of
irrigation, and the few who ventur-
ed the experiment were laughed at
by their neighbors. Since then,
however, the practicability of the
well as a means Of irrigation has
been thoroughly demonstrated, its
untility is regarded more seriously
and its use for irrigation purposes
is constantly increasing, and it
may be predicted that in the course
OF few years there will hardly be
a farmer or stockman in south
Texas who will not by means of
irrigation maintain garden
throughout the entire year. In not
a few instances well irrigation is
successfully employed in south
Texas in raising vegetables for
market, OF which we have on several
occasions made mention. In visit
ing Derby in Frio county the
other day we had practical illus
tration on the farm of John Bennett

MRS. ROOSEVELT STOPS
WHITE HOUSE TINKERING

Washington, D. c., May IA
Mrs. Roosevelt is not going to allow
to allow any more tinkering with
the White House. She vetoed some
of the orders of Architect McKim a
few days ago, relative to the arrange
ment of trees and shrubbery on the
White House grounds. Today she
sent for McKim and made it very
plain that the people should be
considered and that more stairways
and approaches to the East room
should be provided.
The Government has spent
thousands of dollars on the McKim
plans for rebuilding the White
House and the public has found
nothing but criticism ofthe results.
Mrs. Roosevelt appreciates the
business OF these criticisms and is
going to have the defects remedied.
