CARPENTERS SQUARES.
Invented by a Vermont Blacksmith
Who Became a Mil
lionaire.

The large steel squares used b. car
penters are such common tool that
perhaps few know when and where
they we're first made, and how hey
came TO be used, or even give the mat
ter thought The making OF them Is
great in lustry now, but when the
last century calne In there was not one

blacksmith. Silas Howes, who lived in
South Shaftsbury.
One dull, rainy day a pedler OF tin
ware called at his shop to have the
blacksmith fasten shoe on his horse.
These pedlers travelled up and down
the country calling at every farm
house buying everything In the way
of barter. This one had a number of
wornout steel saws that he had picked
UP in various places. Howes bargained
for them. shoeing the pedler's horse
and receiving the saws In payment,
and each thought he had an excellent
trade.
His idea was to polish and weld two
saws together. at right angles. and
thus make rule or measure superior
to anything then in use After a few
attempts he succeeding IN making a
square. marked II OF into inches and
fractions OF inches and found that II
answered every purpose that he In
( tended II for.
In the course of few weeks he had
made quite number during his spare
hours. These he sent out by the ped
lers, who found every carpenter eager
to buy one Soon he found orders
coming in faster than he could supply

which was live times as much as II

He applied for and obtained a pat

else could deprive him OF the profit II
gave IL was Iuo' tiN'i hhN wa
of 1912, and money was scarce and

and late, and as he earned money he
bought iron. and hired men to hell
him. In few years he was able tc
erect a large factory and put in ma
chinery for the making OF squares
which by this time had found thei'
way all over the country aud had made
their inventor famous.
Such was the small beginning OF
large and important industry. People
came miles to see the wonderful
forges, the showers Of sparks hyinl

Silas Howes lived to be a million

with his money. Squares are still made
on the spot where the first one wa
made more than SO years ago.

WHITE SLAVERY INCREASES
Girls in British Columbia Reared
and Fattened for the
Market.

The religious people and the tenn
perance people in Canada are up In
arms over the report which has been
made public by the dominion govern
ment to the effect that in certain
parts of British Columbia there are
regular slave markets as cruel as were
ever known in darkest Africa. This
coupled with the recent exposures
about the traffic in young girls be
tween certain procurers in Canads
and the United States, has stirred uT
the authorities and vigorous action is
going to be taken Immediately to sup
press the things referred to. The do
minion government has intimated to
the government of British Columbia
that IL 1t thinks It will not be able
to suppress the horrible state of af-
fairs the national government viii
step in and see that this blot on the
fame o, Canada be wiped out imme-
diately.
The slavemasters 10 question are
the Cape Nudge Indians OF British
Columbia, who go in for regular traf
lic in supposedly white girls, but who
are In reality quarter. eighth and six
teenth breed girls. So successful have
these Cape Nudge Indians been In
this traffic and so rich have they grown
over 1t that the Rock Bay Indians, an
other tribe, are also going in for the
traffic. The story would be too wild
for belief II II were not that the ac
tion of the dominion authorities Is
taken upon formally attested com
plant of C. ]. South, the superintend
ent of the Childrens Aid society.
II was known that In British Colum
bia. the same as in all new countries
immoral relations existed between the
white men. prospectors and adventur
ers and the Indian women in many
cases with the knowledge of thei
male relatives. but 1t was not known
that the evil had assumed such hor
rible and systematic proportions.
The trade seems to have gone or
for at least two generations and will
each year the girls have becom,
whittier of skin.
The reason for that is that thei
grandmothers were sold to white mer
as they are now, that their mothers
whose skin had commenced to whiten
were sold in turn, and so on till theii
daughters and granddaughters wher
they have them and when they are
sold as slaves will hardly possess any
difference In appearance from the real
white girls.
Even now they are so white that
but for their heavy coils of dark hair
and their dark. babyike eyes, they
might be taken for white people. Some
even have light hair.
The Indians referred to live along
the northern coast of British Colum
bia and they carefully train and care
for the girls like they would a tur.
key that is being fattened for the
market till they reach the legal age
at which they can be sold for immoral
purposes.
AS long as they manage to have
girl children by the white men who
buy them they arc always sure Of
welcome back when they are cast of,
although It is understood that their
own life after that is not OF the hap.
