At 1880 they were both at the ap.
pointed corners, each acting on the
others suggestion
Smith stood on his corner minute
thinking deeply Jones Is probably
around on that other corner waiting
for me-" he mused Then a bright
idea struck him. "Ha! III go around
to his corner and get him"
The brilliant brains OF Jones per-
ceived, too. that they had chosen OPP
poslte corners, and 1t was only neces,
sary to go around to Smiths corner to
see his partner. And, like Smith, he
started Off for the other corner.
Now, II was strictly to their disad,
vantage that great minds run in the
same channel. For Smith and Jones
made the mistake--although quite ma.
tural-of both going in the same di.
rection with relation to each other.
Smith started around the block by
going west, while Jones went around
the block easterly from his corner
When each got at the other corner. Of
course nobody was there. Then they
both concluded that each had decided
that the other, not finding anybody
there, would go back TO the appointed
place. Smith retraced his steps and
went back to his corner. and Jones did
the same thing. Just then Smith rea.
soned that he had done bad thing,
and the thing now to do was to 80 all
around the block-take in all the four
corners and thus surely include Jones.
So he reversed his course and went
around the block. Smith had walked
around the block four times without
seeing Jones, when he caught
glimpse of him Just turning the corner
down the street. Then Smith started
of on dead run. It was Just as Jones
was turning that corner that he made
up his mind that his pace was too slow
to catch Smith and he let out. Around
the block at full speed went Jones
and around the block at a great rate
went Smith. People saw man run,
ming down the street as II he were
chasing trolley car. and little while
another one came along flying In the
same direction.
At nine o'clock Smith came home,
slammed the door and sat down and
wrote.
Dear Friend Jones: When you want
to see me you will find me 1T my
house. You can come whenever you
like. Yours, Smith"
And when Smith, got home the next
night he did not know whether toe let.
ter he received from Jones was n re.
ply to his letter or not. loread:
Dear Smith: I'm not going out
nights for the next six weeks. You
know where live. Yours, Jones"
1t is expected that Smith and Jones
will meet at an early day. BLe this
explains why some inventions are re.
tarded by trifiing circumstances.

PROTECTION AND LOW WAGES
Tarlff-Aided Manufacturers Do Not
Regard implied Contract
with People.

Secretary Morrison of the American
Federation Of Labor has asked Secre-
tary Nagel to investigate conditions In
the plant CT the Pressed Steel Car
Company. Mr. Morrisons theory is
that there Is at least an implied CON
tract by which American manufactur-
ers are bound, in return for the pro
lection which they get, to pay good
wages. We quote from Mr.. Morrisons
statement.
Il would particularly direct your at.
tention to the fact that the Pressed
Steel Car Company Is especially
favored by the United States govern
menti that this company is enabled
by protective tariff to place q much
higher price upon its products than II
could If they were on the free list:
that this company because of the tar
IN enjoyed by the iron and steel in.
dustry collects a vast sum Of money
each year from the American public;
that the new tariff law has lust been
enacted: that the representatives of
the great iron and steel companies set
up the plea that il the present tariff
was continued on their products the
benefits would accrue to their EN-.
ployes. and that II the tariff was not
enacted they would be forced to re-
duce the wages OF their employees;
that because of such information be-
Ing submitted by representatives OF
the iron and steel companies, who de.
sired n still higher tariff, the present
law was adopted in good faith by the
last congress. | therefore contend
that the pablo has right to know ii
the iron and steel companies. who are
protiting on account Of the protective
tariff, are keeping faith with the gov
eminent and are paying their ON
ploycs a reasonable wage rate, n wage
rate in keeping with the protection
enjoyed by the companies"
Mr.. Morrison gives some figures
which tend TO show that the workers
are not getting their fair share OF the
protection, Recently the New York
Evening Post published certain stats
tics which seemed to prove the same
thing But our interest now is in the
theory formulated by Morrison 1t is
sound. There is contract between
the American people who give the
protection. and the American manu-
facturers who get Il. and by that con
tract the workers are entitled to
large part of the protection. And the
American people certainly have n
right TO an accounting This right has
never been insisted on by senators
and congressman who vote TO tax all
the people for the benefit of certain
Industries. On the contrary, there is
a guileless faith that the men who get
the money will, OF their own motion
and without any compulsion, divide
fairly with their employees. This is
always assumed. The men who get
the money are not required to make
a showing.
II is, we think. time to quit voting
this money in the dark. The people
from whom It comes have right to
know what is done with Il, to know
where II goes. The funds are in real.
ity trust funds Certainly they are
voted on that theory.

1t. I'll be back in a half hour" said
Smith.
In two minutes Smith knocked at
Jones door and Mrs. Jones appeared
Good evening" said Smith, us Mr.
Jones in?"
Why, he has just gone around to
your house-left two minutes ago"
oh, is that so?" said Smith. "I1l
go right back. ! want to see him. ="
Meanwhile Mrs. Smith heard a
knock at her door and found Jones
there.
rs Smith in?" he asked.
No" replied Mrs. Smith, "he went
around to your house a few minutes
since. Won't you stay till he comes
back?"
No" said Jones, III run back.
We can talk there just as well. Good
night"
Jones had hardly left when the door
opened in the way that Smith usually
opened 1t, and Smith rushed In.
Where's Jones? Mrs. Jones said
he was here"
HE was,' answered Mrs. Smith,
but told him you had gone around
to his house, and he went right back"
Well" said Smith, II suppose I'll
have to go around to his house again, ="
and off he went
Meanwhile Jones arrived at his own
front door and Mrs. Jones informed
him that Smith had hurried back to
his own house when he was informed
that Jones had gone there.
Then Ill skip back to catch him
in," said Jones. and out he rushed.
1t Is needless TO say that when
Smith arrived at Jones door and Jones
arrived at Smiths door both found
that the other had gone back to the
others house. This was actually re.
peated three times In each case, and
when Smith got home the last time he
hung up his hat and said: well, III
end this chase. Ill stay here now till
Jones comes"
Jones got tired OF the runs" too. Il
seems, and Mrs. Jones suggested that
he stay In until Smith come again.
That's a good idea," he said. Now
we'll surely meet"
So they both stayed home and wait.

showed up.

Washington, Feb. 27.-Tnrough the
Improvement in the systems OF tur-
pentining the South has taken a long
step forward in the movement for the
protection and development of Of
the country's most important natural
resources, the rich, yellow pins for
eSts which max the United States the
leading nation in h production of
rosin, turpentine, and the other pro-
ducts known as naval stores.
Improved methods Of turpentining
were irst establishedNto al apprecia-
BILE extent during the producing sea
son of 1904, when the cup n gutter
system was installed by a number of
the most enterprlslnS manufacturers
of naval stores in Georgia and Flor
ida. Since tina time there has been .
steady and satisfactory increase in he
percentage of t~urpentine and rOsin
produced by these conservative meth
DDS. The work in conserving these
vast turpentine orchards of the South

early destruction of yellow pine for

management.
Experiments conducted by the Uni
ted States Forest Service at Ocilla, Ga
and Green Cove Springs, Fla. as we'll
