because of the greater number of chill
dren employed during school vaca-
tion. 1t is also possible that more
carelessness or inattention may have
been caused by the lassitude and Ian.
guor induced by the high temperature
of the season.
"The largest number of accidents
occurred to those sixteen years Of
age, the next smaller number tc
those eighteen and twenty-five years
of age. The average time employed
before injury was about 2.7S years
Nearly five per cent. Of the entire

tered upon service at the plants
about thirteen per cent. within a
month, about fifty-eight per cent.
within year, the balance, forty-two
per cent, occurring between one

Many of these accidents were
traceable to the carelessness of the
injured party, some naturally oc-

seen and OF which the operator was

working Girls Best wives.

''The working girl makes the best
wife in the world"
This is the firm assertion of Miss
Mary Macarthur. president of the
Women's Trade Union League of
Great Britain.
Miss Macarthur is remarkable
woman. Not yet thirty, she has been
interested in trade unionism among
women for more than ten years, and
has practically built up the English
Organization. of which she is presi-
lent, and which now numbers fully
100000 women. 1t is very big and
definite force in English labor move
ments.
And in defiance of all the doleful
masculine prognostications that girls
and women who work outside the
home are thereby untitled for the nat
ural feminine functions of wifehood
and motherhood, Miss Macarthur re-
iterates; 1T is the working women
who make the best wives and the
best mothers, too" she adds compos-
edly.-Kansas City Journal

A cypress tree near Oaxaca, Mex
leo, is believed to be the largest in
circumference of any in the world, 1t
measures 104 feet around the trunk
at height of 1870 feet, and twenty
seven people holding hands can just
reach around it.
The tree has stood for many cen
turtles, and part of its trunk has COM
menced to decay from sheer old age.
One person Of statistical turn OF
mind has estimated that the tree and
it's branches must weigh something
like 1900 tons. s.-Wide World Maga-

KISSING his Chains

Upton Sinclair, in a recent address
in New York, said pointedly:
These poor people who oppose so-
cialism remind me Of a dog once
saw,
The dogs muzzle, as the animal
passed me, dropped on am against
muzzling, and 50 / kicked the wire

But the dog resented my action

and trotted home with it in his

A PLACE FOR THE CHILDREN.

~ Z LfANI i O1s 1 III @OAAAA
A room for the children, and the
children kept in it at proper times,
is the great need of the average
American family, an English woman
writes in Good Housekeeping. Only
the very rich have nurseries in Amer
lea, she finds. Other people seem to
think that children ought to own the
whole house and scatter their toys
in every ones path. A suggestion Of
a nursery is treated as an invasion
of the children's rights, whereas, such
room, from the English standpoint,
is the first essential of freedom. In
nursery the children can amuse
themselves in their own way without
making themselves a nuisance to
their elders.-New York Tribune.

Putting Up a
 Strong Legal Fight

Judge Daniel Mcfarland is making a heroic legal fight for his client. w W Wolyerton, who was indicted for forgery. At the first trial the defend . ant wac acquitted under instructions of the court, the district attorney moving that the case be resubrnitted to the grand jury because of alleged variance between the proof and in dictmeni. Attorney Mcfarland made strenuous objection, holding that there was no variance He brought the matter up under hsbess corpus and submitted proof. After the case wae reviewed he won his point and release of his prisoner. The release was only temporary, however, for the sheriff officials served another warrant on Wolverton, growing out of the same alleged offense, and he was again incarcerated. Today Attorney Mcfarland filed 6 demurrer and will attack the new procedure on the ground of placing the prisoner in jeopardy twice for the same offense
 The matter will be heard later and the outcome watched with interest.
