INDUSTRIES ARE REVIVING.
Workers of All Kinds Are Reported
in Great Demand.

Business throughout the United
States. both commercial and indus
trial, is reviving,~ according to Ter
ence V. Powderly, chief Of the divi-
sion of information, bureau of immi-
grafton. The division of information
was created by Congress as an agency
to divert immigration from the larger
cities, and find places for the unem-
ployed alien. The functions of the
division have been enlarged, inasmuch
as Chief Powderly is ~endeavoring to
provide work for Americans as well
as aliens.
From July 1 last until early in Oc-
tober 100000 requests were made upon
Chief Powderly to supply various
forms of labor for factory, railroad,
farm and industrial enterprises of all
descriptions. About the middle Of
October, when the financial disturb
ances became acute, many of these
applications were Cancelled, CORE
spondents stating that instead Of need
ing labor they were putting off men,
and that everything pointed to a pro-
longed period of depression.
Recently there has been a renewal
Of the demand for labor. Chief Pow
DERBY says that this demand comes
from every section Of the country ;
that it calls for mechanics, mill oper-
a~tives, factory hands, railroad buillers,
and farm laborers. From the agricul-
tural States have come notice that in
the spring hundreds of thousands Of
farm hands will be needed, and that
every effort should be made by the gov
eminent at this time to see to it that
an adequate supply of labor is provided
in the regions where it will be urgently
required.
Al investigation has developed"
said Mr.. Powderly, that, while the
unusually large exodus Of foreigners
during the past few months was the di-
rect result of disturbed financial con-
ditions, it was not due to the closing
of mills or factories or cessation in the
progress Of public works. The great
majority of those who returned to Eu-
rope We're not turned out Of employ
ment. They were alarmed by the out
look and decided to go back. The tide
will begin to turn early in the spring,
and I have noHdoubt that the increas-
ing demand for labor that our reports
indicate is at hand will be fully met
by h supply in this country amplifed
by an enlarged immigration"

only Fire Engine Disabled.

To make matters worse, the one fire
engine in Boyertown is disabled, and
there was no near of fighting the fire.
1t, is almost cerSain that all of the
bodies of the victims were cremated,
and the hopes of identifying any Of
them are destroyed. Fire engines were
sent to the scene from Reading and
Pottstown, but they arrived too late
to be of any service further than II
save surrounding property.
Requests for assistance We're quick
ly sent to Pottstown and Reading, and
special trains bearing surgeons and
nurses we're hurried there. These sur
geons, assisted by local physicians, inn
provised hospitals in nearby residences
and stores, ard gave what aid was pos
sible TO the injured.
AT the foot of the narrow stairway,
which was jammed full of dead and
dying, scores of victims could be seen
from the street. Dozens of men tried
to reach them, and succeeded in carry
ing a few of them out, but the heat
of the fire soon drove them back. Thea
as the flames ate their way down the
stairway and reached them, the bodies
were cremated in the very sight Of
those who would have carried them
out,

there could be no such thing at present

of the good faith and, friendship of this

why Moro BOY BnLie. Die.

ENTGD
DR.. Francis Warner, senior physician
Ut the London hospital, has drawn atten-
ton to a curious sex problem. Taking
the births of 1905, he showed that 81 per
cent were boys, vet the death rate of
boys was so much higher than that of
girls that of 5-year-old children only 43
per cent were boys. Further statistics
showed that 81 per cent Of boys, MS COM
pared with only % per cent of girls, died
in the first year. Dir. Warner attributed
the preponderance of females in England.
despite the more numerous birth of boys,
to the fact that a much larger proportion
Of males had the same physical defect. A
minute examination of thousands of chill
dren showed that 3 per cent of boys were
physically detective, as compared with Z
per cent of girls, but taking the childrcn's
medical wards, where practically all were
physically defective, the mortality of de
fective girls was higher than that Of the
boys. Hence he deduced that while the
female sex apparently approaches closer
to normality than the male, yet when
nornlalities are found equally in both, the
girls have less vitality, a fact which
causes a more rapid breakdown under an
added strain. 1t was also noted that
while the male sex supplied a great ma
jority of criminals, yet in murders COM

With only seven cases of bubonic

Bishop Fallows, who was born in
England in 1885, has led an active and
militant career. He came to this coun-
try in 1S4S, settling in Wisconsin. and
in 1851 was ordained in the Methodist
Episcopal Church. During the Civil
war he served as a colonel and was
brevetted brigadier general. He served
three terms as State superintendent of
public instruction in Wisconsin and in
1875 united with the Reformed Episco-
pal Church, being consecrated bishop
the following year. Since 1875 he has
been rector of st. Paul's Church, Chi
cago. The bishop has other theories
besides healing through Christian psy-
chology. He believes that Christianity
is a good deal a matter of the kind of
food we eat. IF every child was

no moral baseness, no mental deprav-
ity and no spiritual ignorance" His
system of Christian healing will be

Young man, go west, and incident

you are anxious to take unto yourself
a partner for life. This is the invita-
ton which c. Herbert Moore, reform
mayor of Spokane, has issued unto the
forlorn of the land and which is being
accepted with surprising alacrity. SO
far he has been successful in finding
husbands in the Spokane country for
girls in Chicago, Indianapolis, Mem
phis and Philadelphia, and he has Sc
cured wives for r%anchers. mining oper-
ators and fruit growers in various
parts of the inland empire of the Pa
cific northwest.
The mayor has engaged an assistant
secretary whose duty it is to carry out
the chief executives suggestions and
to bring the inquirers and inquired for
together. Mayor Moore did not seek
the appointment to this peculiar posi-
ton but rather was it thrust upon him
by maids and men. widows and wild
overs who knew his kind heart and be-
lief in the married state as the only
happy one. He receives scores of LET
ters every day, from timid women
looking for men whom they may Took
up to-" from big. unafraid women who
want quiet. docile husbands who of a
certainty will look up to them, from ro-
mantle youths who wish beauty and
from farmers who banker after Drawn.
There is no sort of husband or wife
which his hopor does not agree to fur
nish upon application and as a result
he is the most popular man in the
west.
