Lighting is a matter that has been
carefully studied in the construction
of new American textile mills. of which
the fronts are largely of glass. In the
old mills the aim was rather to make
a window that nobody could see
through than one that would admit
lie4t. One who has compared mill
windows in three countries reports
that factories are better lighted in Ger
many than in England, and better in
England than in America. "A bad
light" Shadwell writes in his Indus
trial Efficiency" is the most conspi-
cuous defect of American factory prem
ises." In Germany he never saw an i'll
lighted work room: he found buildings
we'll spread out and observed that tex
tile mills have rarely more than three
or four stories.

Many Places There Were Thoroughly
Inspected.

tails of the plant. A number of towns
in this section of the state are furn-

the interest in the visit of DR.. Hurry
is not merely local.
While Hagerstown has not had an
epidemic of contagious diseases for
many years and the town presents
the general appearance of cleanliness
yet DR.. Thurston, the local health Off
Ger declares there were dozens of
places so offensive as to require in
slant attention.

this the president says is not true. Ir
proof of his position the president points
out the fact that athletes are most apt
to be found in fair-sized families, and he
points to the vital statistics of Massa-
chusetts showing that the average Amer
lean family has so few children that the
birth rate has fallen below the death
rate. He reiterates his belief that tie
tendency of well-to-do families to die
out means the elimination instead of the
survival of the fttest, and he declares
that our country could not continue to
exist if it paid heed to the expressed or
implied teachings Of such articles, which
furnish excuse for every unnatural pre-
~vention of child bearing, and for every
form of gross and shallow s%elfshness in
American social life.

said a well-known negro comedian.
"He was wearing the most outlandish
outfit I ever saw on a human being,

frayed and torn above his shoetops.
He wore a musk-colored wooden shirt,
a celluloid collar and a tattered sack

been trying to pull it to pieces. But
the browning effort was a new and i'm

ONE WOMAN IN FIVE A WORKER.
Some Queer Occupations Reported b.
the census Bureau.

he Census Bureau.
The census bureau has issued a 70
port showing that in the United States,
exclusive of Alaska, Hawaii and other
outlying territories, there are 1885, $50
women at work. The total number of
women 16 years of age and over in con-
tinental United States in 1900 was 3D.
4S5,559, which make one woman in ev-
cry five a b~readwinner. OF the number
reported as divorced, 55.3 per cent were
supporting themselves wholly or in part
by their own earnings. 1t has been sus-
gested that the increase of divorce Is
partly attributable to the more indepen-
dent economic position of women.
Domestic service, notwithstanding the
increased diversity of employments for
women, remains the most important of
the occupations, almost one-fourth OF
those reported as engaged in gainful pur
suits being returned as servants.
The census shows that five females
were employed as pilots; that on steam
railroads 10 were employed as baggage
men, 81 as brakemen, Z as conductors,
As as engineers and fremen and 20 AZ
switchmen, yardmen and hagmen; that
43 were carriage and hack drivers, g
ship carpenters, and 2 roofers and slat-
ers; that 1876 were returned as black
smiths and 5OS as machinists; that 8
were boilermakers, 81 were charcoal, coke
and lime burners and IL were well borers.

Bond Theft. Now 100000.

Later details of the bond robbery oil

light through the examination of Loan
Clerk Douglass confederate, Broker Den

company officials that they had paid out
$165,0OO to recover most of the bonds
which had been placed with various brok'
ers, and that the actual loss would be
$4,000, considering the $4,000 bond OF
