CHICAGO SCHOOLS
TO TEACH TRADES
The |. T. US Plan For a travelling
System of Education.

Chicago. Dec. l6.-(Special Core

trial education as part of the public
school system of the United States has
just received new impetus as result
of the decision of the board of educa-
ton TO establish a group of trade
schools in this city. This information
comes on the heels of the announce
ment of the International Typograph-
ical Union. which was in conference
here last week. that the union is plan
ming to establish correspondence and
technical schools in the large cities
and travelling school of lectures,
charts and diagrams to make the
rounds of the smaller locals. This will
be the first OF similar schools to be or
ganized by other unions. In this work
of advocating greater facilities for in
dustrial education the unions have
found an unexpected ally in the shape
of the National Manufacturers Asso-
citation, the bitter foe of organized
labor. Alarmed at the growing compe-
tftion of Germany, where technical
schools are directly supported by the
government, the manufacturers and
labor leaders have agreed to lay aside
their hostility for the moment and
unite in the common cause. The Chi
cago school board has collected sta
tistics OF conditions in Germany,
showing the striking results of the
governments policy in that country.

The great sonw-storm of January.

proving the most remarkable storm

city of Chicago. II will go down in
history as the most protracted snow
storm in any latitude. as the city's
emergency payrolls' bear witness. To
clear up the streets then about 100
men were set at work with shovels
and most of them have, by the rec
ords. been shovelling ever since-some
of them are still at it. Each month
the emergency pavrolls were ap-
proved during Mayor DUNES
regime, and only recently part of the
snow-crew was laid off. In the mean
time the shovelers pegged away stead
lily, ii appears, whether at the drifts
of the dogdays or at labor day snow
banks. and now new onslaught of
winter has come. Again the cry is
heard. "A blizzard from Medicine Hat
is responsible for this" and the thread
bare tradition, as veracious as the
emergency payrolls," is tired out
again. As a matter of fact Medicine
Hat is lusty town up in Alberta,
Canada, where billiards are unknown.

Pacific, and where the chinook ticks

BABIES MUST BUY BALLS.
Government Shuts Down on Home
taking Rubber Band Habit.

Rubber balls-the kind the babies like to
play with-have been more numerous in
Washington during the last fifteen or
twenty years than in any other city in

made. A few thousand little rubber bands
the kind the government uses-twisted
together. around and around, one way
and the other, bring the little bouncing
things into the shape of a sphere.
Half the government clerks who have
had young relatives in their families have
made Il Il practice for years to provide
the little ones with these balls. But there
are TO be no more homemade rubber
playthings for the children. Uncle Sam
has had his eyes opened 10 the fact that
millions of his useful bands were being
utilized to amuse the younger generation.
Consequently, an order has gone out to
keep all rubbers where every one cannot
get at them.
AS a result, there has been much rub
ber-neclSing' lately for rubber bands
