The Sewing Machine,

The invention Of the sewing ma

evolutionary romances in the history
Of human progress. Stone, Henderson
and Greenough had experimental ex,

above. Heilmann used a double point
ed needle, with the eye in the center,
and Thimmonier and Ferrand had in
vented a chain stitch machine. In
1884 Walter Hunt originated the ex-
tension arm idea with a needle similar
to the one now in general use, but be-
fore he applied for his patent in 1854
he had been forestalled by Elias Howe.

Hunt had not been so great a laggard
he might have won fame as an in

all great inventions, however, the sew

Uniform Laws Would
Improve Conditions.

By RALPH NJ EAsLEx Chairman # h Execuuv. Council Of National
Civic Federation.
HERE is more than mere business involved in the question
of uniform laws. There is moral side to it.. What is good
for BUSINESS INTERESTS AFFECTS EVERYBODY,
AS TT AFFECTS EVERYBODY'S POCKET-the man
who works for wages as we'll as the man who runs the shop. But
above all that is the consideration of what is right. In the difference
between the laws of different states there is a great deal that is not
right, and an adjustment of the differences would be profitable to
every state and an injury to none of them.
1T is ONLY A FEW YEARS SINCE THE PUBLIC BECAME Ac.
ouAINTED WITH THE NECESSITY FOR THE REGULATION OF
RAILROADS FOR ITS OWN PROTECTION, AND SINCE WE GOT A
NATIONAL LAW THE RAILROADS HAVE DISCOVERED THAT, ON
THE WHOLE, 1T is BEST FOR THEM, TOO, BUT ALL PEOPLE
KNOW HOW DIFFICULT IT is FOR THE INTERSTATE COMMERCE
COMMISSION TO BE THOROUGHLY EFFECTIVE BECAUSE OF
STATE LAWS THAT ARE NOT IN CONFORMITY WITH THE UNITED
STATES STATUTORY LAWS.
The pure food law has to be backed up by all the states in order
TO STOP COMMERCIAL CHAOS. It DEGREES that one thing
shall contain not less than a certain per cent of one ingredient, and
one state follows the provision of that law, while another state raises
the percentage and declares that any lower percentage will not do
for sale of the article in that state. This shuts out the goods of the
state that follows the national law. There is no end to this kind of
confusion, BUT WITH THE UNIFORM LAW THIS A
NOYANCE AND HAMPER TO TRADE WILL BE REMOVED.

WILL RENEW FIGHT On TIE FEE

Once more will the fight be re-

the incoming legislature. A bill
Is being drawn up by Representa-
tive McMichael attacking the pres
ent system and placing the
solicitor-generals on salaries. This
question has been up before the
Legislature several times in recent
years, but change has always
been defeated. The enemies of the
present system argue that it is
pernicious in that it gives 30 many
solicitors in the larger counties
compensation far beyond figures
reasonably commensurate with
their services. They say that the
system has already been discarded
as Anticipated in many of Georgia

NEGROES GOING NORTH.

A Danville IVA. dispatch to the
Baltimore Sun states that during
the past few weeks negro laborers
in large numbers have been leav-
ing that port of Virginia for vari-
GUS points in the Northern States.
The dispatch says further:
"If the present rate at which
they are being imported to the
Northern factories continues an
alarming situation promises to de-
velep in the rural districts. Rep
resentatives of brick factories at
Newburg and other places In New
York State have been at work for
some time in and around Danvllle
and have taken away in the neigh
borhood of a thousand laborers.
Tickets for the negroes are pur-
chased from the railway in blocks
of from 100 TO 200 and special
trains provided for their transport
tation.
"By far the larger percentage of
the blacks who have left here re-
Gently were secured from the rural
districts and consist of the best
class of colored labor in this Sec
ton. At the present season of the
year labor is badly needed on the
farms, and many of the farmers
are complaining of their hands
leaving them without notice and
their inability to secure help. Sew
eral years ago the city council of
Danville, in an effort to stem the
tide of the expectation of labor,
placed high tax on labor agents.
The courts in testing the law, how
ever, ruled that any one securing
labor for himself or concern with
which he is identified does not
come under the head of labor
agent.
"Reports from other Southern
points indicate similar condition
of affairs, which promise to create
a universal scarcity of labor in the
South"

FIVE MILLION CANARIES.

A consular report Gala atten-
tion to the fact that the exports
of canaries from Germany to the
United States were valued at $780,
600 in 1908, as against $136, 900 in
1907. It is estimated that there
are now in this country fully s.
600, 600 birds in cages, and as the
ordinary house canary will eat in
a year twenty-five pounds of seed !,
costing 81 so, there is expended on
the pet gatherings 81, 100000 an
nually for food alone. What other
expenses for general care and med.
zeal attention may attach to the
keeping of captive songsters can
not be estimated readily.

In Russia there are ninety-one
legal holidays during the run of q
year, counting the Sabbath. That
means, practically, that two ont
of every seven days are holidays,
on which no work may be done.
The Council of the Empire has
taken steps to reduce the number
of these holidays. The excess of
them, it is estimated, is costing
the empire not less than $1,000
600, 900 year. The council pro-
poses that twenty eight of the hol-
idays be eliminated, leaving the
number sixty-three, including Sun
days. France has fifty-six holt
days and Germany sixty, Sundays
