THE CARPENTERS SQUARE.
History of Its invention and Manu-
facture.

Carpenters who use the common
steel square, a very necessary ad-
junct to their trade, perhaps give lit
tie thought to how, when and where
this article was first produced. While
there are millions of squares manu-
factured and used annually, all over
the world, when the nineteenth CEN
tury was born there was not one in eX-
istence.
One dull, rainy day, Siler Howes, a
poor Vermont blacksmith, who lived in
South SALISBURY, was called upon by
a peddler of tinware to shoe a horse.
These peddlers travelled up and down
the country calling at every farm
house, buying everything in the way of
barter. This one had a number of
worn out steel saws that he had picked
up at various places. Howes bargain
ed for them, shoeing the peddler'S
horse and receiving the saws in pay
ment, and each thought he had an ex-
cellent trade.
The blacksmith's idea was to polish
and weld two saws together, at right
angles thus making a rule or measure
superior to anything then in use. After
few attempts he succeeded in making
a square, marked it off into inches and
fractions of inches and found that 1t
answered every purpose that he in
tended it for
In the course of few weeks during
his spare hours he made a number of
these squares, which he sent out by
peddlers, who found every carpenter
anxious to buy one. Soon he had or
ders coming in faster than he could
supply the demand. One of his steel
squares" would sell for S.. or Sc.
which was five times as much as 1t
cost him.
He applied for and obtained a patent
on his invention so that no one else
could deprive him of the profit it gave
him. 1t was just after the war of 1912,
and money was scarce and difficult to
get. But he worked early and late,
and as he earned money he bought
iron. and hired men to help him. In
few years he was able to erect a
large factory and put in machinery for
the making of squares, which by this
time had found their way all over the
country and had made their inventor
| famous.
Such was the small beginning cf a

BOURKE COCHRAN DECLARES 1T
WILL INCREASE EFFICIENCY
or THE HOUSE.

Under Present Two Years Term,
He Saws More Time is Spent in
Looking for Reelection than in
Law Making for the Nation.
Bourke Cochran, of New York, who
has introduced a constitutional amend
ment making the term of Office of a
member of the House four years, in
stead Of two years, as at present, be-
lieves that such a change from exist
ing conditions would be all that is es-
sential to establish the predominence
Of the House over the Senate, if the
House only saw fit to exercise the
power lodged in it by the Constitu-
ton.
Discussing the subject recently, Mr.
Cochran said:
There is but one change, one
amendment, that, in my judgment,
could possibly increase the conse-
quence or capacity of the House to de-
fend itself, and that will be simply the
question of the term of a member
am perfectly willing to admit that, as
at present constituted where a men,

placed in the position that just as
soon as a member takes his seat in
Congress and begins the discharge of
his duties he is at once thrust in the
thrOes of contest for reelection.

A SCARLET FEVER CURE.
Big Success Claimed for Remedy
by DIR. Luhan.

A new treatment for scarlet fever
which, he says, has had a long series
of victories and no failures in its strug-
giles with the disease for nearly eight
years, is now offered as a free scien-
tifc contribution to the medical profes-
sion by DIR. j. L. &. Luhan, of East
Seyenty-second street, y. Y. Noticing
that most deaths from. the disease
were the result Of paralysis of the
heart, he devised a treatment for the
blood and for the kidneys which pre-
vents anaemia--or destruction of the
red blood corpuscles-and also prevents
kidney complications.
The physician in speaking Of his
treatment, said:
"As to my treatment. The germs of
scarlet fever diminish the red blood
corpuscles. Anaemia next sets in
through the poverty of the blood, and
paralysis of the heart follows. My
treatment is curative and eliminative.
In the first four days Of the disease,
prescription No. 1 increases the iron
in the red blood without impairing
the function of the kidneys. The
ingredients of No. /, and also another
substance, acts on the kidneys in such
a way as to cause the red corpuscles
which have been destroyed by the dis
ease germs to be eliminated from the
blood. Often these dead corpuscles
cause congestion in the interior mech
anism of the kidneys, which turns into
Bright's disease. The extra oxygen in
the blood prevents paralysis of the
heart, which is due to the presence in
the blood of carbon monoxide.

pressed me so much as the pride they
take in relating the achievements of
some of the bright men who have
come down from the North, to join
hands with the old native stock in de-
veloping the country.
They told me of one remarkable
man who came from New York in
1876, and proceeded to make himself a
leader in several different lines of
work, all of which are related to the
prosperity of the whole region rather
than to that of an individual or of a
single community. The story is well
worth telling. because it shows that
human resources are quite as import
ant as the material advantages which
are usually grouped under the head of
natural resources, such as climate,
soil, timber and minerals. A country
may be richly endowed with the lat
ter, but it must find the genius to use
them in the best way before it can be
great country. This fact is fully
appreciated in Georgia, which is con-
sequently proud OF the enterprising
men It has attracted into its citizen
ship from other parts of the United
States and anxious to get more Of

WHISTLES TOO NOISY.
WOMAN PHLLANTHROP OPIST WOULD
PREVENT UNNECESSARY DIS.
TURBANCE OF SICK.
Mrs. Isaac L. Rice, a Wealthy New
Yorker, States that Half of the
Vast hubbub Raised by Boat
Whistles Is Useless.

Mrs. Isaac l.. Rice Is one of the
few rich and influential women OF
New York who is constantly looking
after the needs and comfort of those
less fortunate in the awarding OF
the worlds goods than herself.
Mrs. Rice is a philanthropic woman
who has never permitted her wealth
and comfortable surroundings to
blind her to the want and suffering
around her and has recently been
making a strong effort to have at
least one nuisance abated-a nuisance
in one sense and a menace to many
lives.
This is the constant and as Mrs.
Rice declares, the unnecessary blow
ing of whistles and signals in New
York harbor. Night and day these
ear splitting whistles and sirens can
be heard for a distance of thirteen
and half miles over the city and
through careful investigation Mrs
Rice has found that hundreds of in
valids in hospitals and nervous wo-
men in homes are driven almost to
distraction.
From her palatial home in New
York's most exclusive resident section
Riverside Drive-Mrs. Rice has
gone forth to investigate this and
see if there were not some means by
which the sufferings of the poor ano
invalid people might be relieved.
She first took her case to the au.
thorities in New York who told her
any remedial measures were without
their jurisdiction and that she must
make an appeal to Washington.
Leaving her handsome home in
New York Mrs. Rice went to Washing
ton and laid sthe matter before the
Department of Commerce and Labor.
She told the officials of the depart
ment of the $4,000 sick people in
New York whose suffering was made
two fold by this unnecessary noise;
she told how nervous men and women
were unable to get sleep because of
the continual, piercing shrieks of the
river boats and she told them, too,
how river men themselves had said
that so many unnecessary signals in
duced collisions.
Mrs. Rice's fight was not against
the lawful signals but against the In
blasts that were sent out
as particular meanings to river men
and their crews. Scows coming up
the river would begin blowing two
miles down and never cease until they
reached their wharves. This was a
warning to their crews to make ready
to get out.

worked to have all but necessary sig !
