case of woman known to her who
could earn only rs cents a week by
shirt making. She mentioned the case
of another shirtmaker who received
only 81 cents dozen for making

Used plow on shlpbo.rd.

A common, everyday farm plow was
used in unloading the cargo of the
Ammon at San Francisco. The entire
hold was filled with 1900 tons OF inter,
which had frozen into one solid mass
and very hard. Explosives could not
be used, and picks and shovels were
too slow. As a joke bystander sug-
gested they better use, plow. The
captain. however, decided to try the
plan, and bought good-sized plow.
and by means Of block and tackle
and steam winch pulled It back and
forth the length of the hold. The
plow loosened the inter as fast as a
big gang could shovel 1t into the steel
buckets. This is probably the only In.

was discharged in this way.-Popular
