tn. .'v;eiou. cire,. Of Poverty"

The ''vicious Circle of Poverty"
"Unfitness means low wages. lQW
wages mean insufficient food, and "a.
sufficient food means unftness for
work, SO that the vicious circle is COM
plete."
This is what Rountree calls the wi
cious circle Of poverty" MAY we,
not, however, say conversely" writes
Frederick Almy in the Survey, that
increased income through better wages
means better food and quarters, these
mean better strength and courage.
these mean better work and income.
and SO, instead Of an endless chain of
poverty. we may have an endless chain
Of progress.
1--WE have shown here in Buffalo
that steady. hard labor by willing but
unskilled men does not afford tolera-
BILE living: that the dollar and a half
day man, and there are thousands of
him, must see his family underfed
and in want Of decencies because his
wages are too low to buy them; that
wage is general on which safe living
is impossible"

FRICTION.
What Causes II and What Would Hap
pen Without II.


What is friction really caused by?
Why will two things in contact not
slip over each other easily: 1t Is be-
cause every substance known to science
has teeth: microscopic. 1t is true. but
still teeth. The result. then. is ob-
vious. II we shove book across a
table the teeth of the book interlock
with the teeth of the table just US cog
wheels do. and the push has to be
strong enough either to bend them
enough or to break them of for the
motion to continue.
1t has actually been observed In a
microscope that II the push is only a
slight one and moves the book only a
short distance. on the pressure of the
hand being removed the book actually
jumps back to it's former position.
This action Is a slight bending of the
two sets Of teeth. only not far enough
for them to lose their relative posi-
lions. and their elasticity on being re-
leased makes the book fly back
It has been shown that this friction
Is not SO much between different bod.
les as between bodies of the same ma
terial. One Industrial application Of
this Ia the bearings for steel axles
They are made Of brass instead Of
steel
In some things we want as much
friction as possible and in others as
little. The former Is illustrated In the
friction between an engine wheel and
the track. sand sometimes being pour
ed on the track to increase the friction
The latter case Ia illustrated in all
bearings where rotating metal Is In
contact with stationary metal. some
times ball bearings being substituted.
thus lessening the friction.
Many peculiar things would happen
II there was no friction. All screws In
wood would Immediately twist back
ward rapidly and shoot out into the
air: trains could not run save on cog.
ged rails. which would probably be
necessary above rs well as below. thus
having four rails instead Of two: build
ings would tumble down. and new ones
could not be built unless nodded In
place like Edison's or else riveted to-
gether. People would have to wear
shoes with long spikes in them and
then have to be careful. for dirt grains
would slip over one another easily and
would act like deep sand But one
great thing would happen-machines
would run at 100 per cent efficiency.
would give out as much energy as was
put into them.-Lawrence Hodges in
New York Tribune.

An amendment to the sundry civil
appropriation bill adopted by the Unit
ed States house Of representatives stip-
ulates that no part of the 100000 pro-
vided in the bill for the enforcement
Of the Sherman antitrust law can be
used in the prosecution of labor organ
izations for entering into any combi-
nation or agreement having in view
the increasing of wages. shortening the
hours or lettering the conditions Of
labor or for any act done in further
ance thereof not in itself unla wful."
In offering the amendment Mr.. Hughes
of New Jersey met the opposition Of
Republicans. who declared that except
in the Cleveland administration labor
organizations had never been prose
cuted under the Sherman antitrust
law. Mr.. Hughes retorted that be-
cause the present administration had
not entered upon such prosecution
was no reason why it might not do SO.

Patronixe the Label.

The union label gives you chance
to vote every day. Don't neglect 1t.
If union members will not utilize
their purchasing power to their own
advantage they are responsible to
themselves for all bad conditions Of
labor.
The worker who chooses to employ
nonunion help by purchasing nonunion
label goods Is supporting the enemy
and deserves no sympathy. no matter
how miserable his condition may be.

THE SPEAKERS MACE.

Ancient Emblem Used In the House
Of Representatives.
With all its dignity. its senatorial
courtesy and the forms and ceremo-
niles that always are observed. the SEN
ate Is far behind the house Of repre-
sentatives In the matter Of one anti
Quated piece Of furniture. The senate
has no mace. Now. a mace Ia not
much in the way Of furniture. 1t is
silver eagle mounted upon star
around which are bands Of silver.
This mace is always an emblem Of
the house of representatives. 1t is the
duty of one employee to look after It.
Just before a session of the house be-
gins he takes it from the Office Of the
sergeant-at-arms into the house cham
Der. and as soon as the speakers gavel
falls he inserts 1t in a socket In a
stone pillar at the right of the speak
er's chair. The mace remains there
while the house Is In session and Is
taken out and stood beside its pedes-
tai when the house is in committee of
the whole. When the house adjourns
the mace Is carried back to the Office
Of the sergeant-at-arms.
This ancient emblem has not q thing
to do with the order of business Of the
house. save as one of the old time reg
ulations that are continued. When the
house Is turbulent an officer seizes the
mace and walks through the aisles.
Only once or twice when the speaker
failed to preserve order have I seen an
officer seize the mace and walk
through the house. waving 1t back
ward and forward. Possibly the sight
of 1t brought members to their senses
and they retired to their seats. At all
events. THAI is about the only real use
for the mace that | ever have observ-
