IN NEW ZEALAND
Government That Cares for the Health
 of Its Working Women.

"All employed women and children were placed under strict legal protection" says Charles Edward Russell, writing of the New Zealand government in Soldiers of the Common Good.' in the November Everybody's. NO chilI could be en- ployed anywhere in any way at an earlier age than fourteen years. From fourteen to eighteen years all employed persons must be provided with a certificate of age and of having passed the fourth standard examination in the public schools. And here was something else to make our eyes bulge. No woman of any age and no boy between fourteen and eighteen years of age could work overtime in their employment except on twenty-eight days three hours in each of the twenty eight days. In order to obtain even this over time the employer must on each occasion file at the nearest office of the labor de- partment an application and secure a per init. The application must state the name and age of each person of whom over time work was desired and the amount of overtime expected These names were ordered to be kept on file in the labor offices. Before the permit could be is- sued the records must be examined. If any person in the submitted list had within twelve months worked overtime on twenty-eight occasions the application for that person must be rejected. And for

Saved Enemy's Life.

Pittsburg Special to the New York World.
 According to officials of the Carnegie hero fund the most remarkable case that has been investigated by the com mission was that of Rufus K. Combs of Midway, Ky. who was granted silver medal and $500 in cash by the commission yesterday. Combs saved the life of his bitter enemy and political rival, Richard Godson. a lawyer and inventor.
 Godson had entered vault to test d gas-making apparatus, and was overcome by the fumes.
 Friends and relatives were afraid to enter the vault. When he declared his intention of going in, Combs was pulled back and told that Godson was dead, and that he would surely lose his own life if he attempted to recover the body.
 '"rhere may be some life in him. de- clared Combs as he pulled away and entered the vault. He carried his enemy to the door of the vault and then fell unconscious Both men recovered and are now the stanchest friends.
 Asked why he had risked his life Tor his most bitter enemy, Combs replied: "Because I love a fighter who fights fair, and Godson always did that"

Materials of Receiver.

Look for a moment at the materials of the receiver as it hangs on It's hook. The most apparent part of 1t consists or three rubber nodded parts made from vulcanite, a material which recalls the story of the endeavors of Charles Good year to discover a process of hardening the raw rubber which he had been using for covering overshoes. Goodyear had learned that sulphur powder could be used as a drying agent, and, by accident one day. some sulphur-dried rubber iall- ing from his hands upon red-hot stove hardened there instead of melting as he would have expected. Forthwith the 1n- ventor had the long sought for clue ana speedily patented the process of vulcan izing. without which the telephone In dustrv might have been seriously hamp- cred these many years

The previous his tory of the hard, dark substance covering the delicate apparatus of a given receiver would be difficult to trace. Such is the subdivision of production in modern in dustry that the telephone manufacturer has no direct concern with the processes of manufacture of vulcanite or the sources of the supply of crude rubber whether it comes from the Congo State, where the negro rubber gatherer, work ing among long cable-like vines, smears his body with sap, which, drying on, is pulled off at the tax collecting station in thin sheets: or whether it arrives here from the desolate swamps of the Amazon haunted by the silent Guardanis, or from the ague-breeding woodland of Central America. All that is required of the vul- canite. which is purchased from the larg- est producer of the material in the Uni- ted States, is that 1t shall conform to

Where Instrument Installed Today Act ually Was Three Years Ago-Pres- ent Enormous Output Is an
 Index of Prosperity

New York-"There's an epitome of our present prosperity in the cross section of every telephone receiver or transmitter that goes out from this town" said tel ephone engineer the other day. Ut isn't wonderful that all sorts of factories all over the country are working overtime in the effort to keep up with their orders, for the current demand for teephonic ap- paratus is suppose q fair criterion"
 The engineer went on to call attention to recent figures of the output of nstru- ments, showing that in the first six months of 1906 the gross output of Bell telephones was nearly 1200,O00 and the net output, with the number of returned instruments deducted, more than S0,0 GOO. As telephone transmitter and receiver are accounted separate instruments, the statement means that in the first half of 1906 about 100000 telephones, as the word is ordinarily understood were added to the Bell system-a much greater number period of any other year. The output, furthermore, even during the warm months when industrial strenuousness everywhere lets up a little, has kept right on, so that long before the current year closes there must be m operation con sderably more than 100000 stations of the vast interconnected organization which was first to occupy the telephone field.
