The young man has had his day so
long in the United States that 1t is OF
more than passing interest to find that
a majority of the clerks in the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor who are
to go out as a result of Secretary
NageI's housekeeping are the younger
members of the stan. Some OF the old
men have lost their usefulness through
approximation. but the boys show the
greater amount OF lazin kss and gem
eral shiftlessness. The theory that a
man of Atty and more is out of the race
when once he loses his job is not
borne out by this experience in Wash
ington. The young chap is more valu-
able than the old one II he can show
an equal amount of fidelity, steadlness
and uniformity OF output. But the
distractions of life are more likely to
cause his mind to wander and to make
him an unreliable cog in the industrial
machinery. For this reason there Is
still room. even in America, for the
steady old hand who makes up fer
his lack of CELEBRITY with other quail
ties that are just as valuable to his
employer.

PALMS MOVED 500 MILES.
Interesting Survivors Of the San Fran
cisco Fire.

AAOA NASultuESs
A-dif1cult undertaking and one which
required the work OF six men for near
ly two weeks was recently accomplish
ed In California, when two thirty-foot
palms were moved from the abandoned
residence OF H. e. Huntington, on the
top of Mob Hill, San Francisco. and
transported q distance of 500 miles to
his new residence at Los Robes, near
San Gabriel, Cal.
Palm moving Is a common occurrence
in California, but 1t is not likely that
any have ever been moved SO great
distance with so much success. Each
palm when boxed weighed eighteen
tons and string OF ten horses was re-
quired in order to transport the palms
to the railway station, q distance Of
two miles, through some Of the busiest
streets in San Francisco.
The palms figured were also Of more
than ordinary interest to the citizens
of San Francisco, having stood there
for more than twenty years. In addi-
tion to this fact, they might be classed
as most interesting relics Of the earth
quake and fire of 1906, at which time
Mr.. Huntington's magnificent residence
was destroyed, along with everything
In that district.
The fire stripped the palms complete
ly of their foliage, leaving only the
bare and blackened stems. Since that
time In the course of three years fresh
growth has been made by them, now
well developed crowns have appeared
and they bid fair to become two of the
most interesting objects on the Hunt
tngton estate.

The record OF Mrs. Zapowa IL not an
unusual one among Polish women. who
accomplish stupendous feats of dance
ing at their weddings. One st. Louis
woman holds record OF having dano-
ed almost continuousiy for three days
and nights.
Mrs. zapowa's feat in expended pow
er presents results that will astonish
those. girls who think that an after

housework an exhausting accomplish

Election and possibly pride in her per-
sonal prowess to the girl who spends
two or three hours at ball and lies
In bed tin noon the next day.
BY means OF an automatic scale 1t
has been determined that q woman
Weighing 125 pounds lifts eight pounds
Of weight with every step of the waltz
Every time her foot leaves the floor
In a waltz her body lifts eight pounds.
In waltzing the feet makes three I'M

becomes heavier. That 10 she then
throws more OF her weight upon her
foot before II leaves the floor Of the
scale and she raises more pounds with
that step. But eight pounds per step

In lifting eight pounds with every
waltz step, forty to the minute, she
is actually lifting $40 pounds minute
with the combined force Of all the
muscles OF her body.
In the thirty-four hours that
the celebration of Mrs. Zapowa's
wedding consumed she danced
about twenty hours and rested
fourteen hours. In lifting eight
pounds to the step she had lifted
$4,000 pounds Of dead weight in ono
hour, and the twenty hours Of her
dancing the stupendous weight OF
$4,000 pounds. or the equal OF almost
12-horse power.
The expression that certain wo-

mon enough. but he who would say
that any woman was as strong as
twelve horses would be credited with
an exuberant fancy, to say the least.
But Mrs Zapowa has proved 1t actual

LUMBERMEN TO AID.
Yellow Pine Men VIII Help Conserve
Forests.

Yellow Pine Men VIII Help Conserve
Washington, Aug. 2f.-(special.)--
The interest being taken by practical
lumber men in the conservation of the
forests was illustrated at the semi AN
nual meeting Of the Yellow Pine Man
ufacturers' Association which was re-
Gently held in Chicago. The report of
the, committee on the conservation of
the yellow pine forests received much
attention and was adopted unanimous
ly.
Among the chief recommendations
made by the committee In its report
was for the cutting by lumbermen of
their timber by two operations with an
interval of from fifteen to twenty
years, the ripe timber being removed
during the first cutting and to leave
from $500 to 5000 feet of standing
timber on each acre. 1t was shown by
such method of numbering tffat a de-
cided advantage would accrue to the
lumbermen through the increased
growth and consequent gain in tim
Der which would be had between the
| first and second cuttings.
The Association also adopted the rec
| ommendation of the committee provid-
ing for the appointment OF q commit.
tee with power to act and to expend
funds to cooperate with the fores,
service on matters Of education. forest
| fires and taxation.

It is clear that the greater q coun-
| try's production of raw materials, the
easier 1t 10 for builders to obtain their
supplies writes Marcel Bloch, In The
Railway Age Gazette. In this matter
there Ia an enormous difference bet
ween the United States having an an
nual production of 100000 tons OF
per year, and France with only 3,0o0.-
900. It Is clear that French builders.
all other conditions being equal, are
greatly Handicapped by long delays In
the delivery Of raw materials.
In all three countries, as soon as the
craftsmen have finished their work. the
chief craftsman receives from them q
complete statement of raw material re-
auired which Is transmitted to the pur-
chasing department.
The rapidity in getting out drawings
as well as the small amount of check
ing and inspecting to which American
work is submitted. permits them to get
these material sheets out much sooner
than their European colleagues. The
purchasing department Immediately
gets in touch with makers Of material.
In Europe as In America. But the GEN.
tralization Of similar industries In the
large New York and Chicago once

pedites the transaction between build

The rapidly with which these orders
are placed is further enhanced by this
extraordinary capacity Of American
shops, which can obtain from the man
ufacturers contracts for a certain
period Of time. enabling them when
placing the order. simply to state the
amount and delivery required. The
Pratt and Letchworth Company and
the Union Steel Casting Company may
be quoted as examples. These COM
panies furnish the American Locomo.
tive Company's steel castings almost
exclusively. In Germany some of the
locomotive builders, such as HenscheI
and Borsig, are manufacturers of their
own raw material. Others obtain
theirs from the manufacturers in Ruhr
and Schleswig, and must bargain with
the latter for prices and deliveries
Is France with the exception of tho
creusot Company. no builders produce
their own materials, and 1t appears
that every order placed must be speci-
ally negotiated with the manufactur-
ers.
These different conditions naturally
have a great influence on the dates of
deliveries. As a general impression. I
should say that in the United States
the capacities of plants are designed
not for supplying the average de-
mand of the country for such products.
