What The Popular Magazines Contain
OF Interest To Readers


In the October Outing Walter Camp
/ discusses the new football primarily
from the standpoint of the spectator.
The chief difficulty in following the
game from the side lines he anticipates
Will be in the case of the forward pass.
There the spectator must see whether
the man making the pass is at least
hve yards back of the scrimmage line
and the backfield-except the two ends
at least one yard back. Incidentally
ne must determine whether the ball
goes over twenty yards past the scrin-
mage line. which is the outside limit of
the forward pass. Interesting points
TO bear in mind are the prohibition of
the defensive players against interfer-
ing with offensive players who have
passed the line of scrimmage until the
forward pass has been caught. or in
case of kick until the offensive PLAY
er has advanced twenty yards into the
territory CT the defense. The man
making tackle must have at least one
foot on the ground. The runner with
the ball must not be pushed or aided in
any way by his team mates.

like fourth of the tar macadam road,
which up to the present time has been
considered the best road to stand the
wear and tear of automobile traffic.

roads are wrong, quite ninety per cent.
of the dust being due to weather in
fluences. Realizing that tar treatment
had not met with the success that had
been anticipated for it, he set about for
a solution of the difficulty on the old
macadam method.
IAN examination of new macadam
road" he said in explaining his dis
covery, "shows that the stones do not
set until they have had considerable
traffic, and as grinding is the result of
this quantity of fine dust is created,
which acts as cement. My difficulty
was to find finely divided material to
act as a cementing material without
being brittle. After trying substances
at last fell upon Trinidad Lake btu
men and found it eminently successful.
The recommendation for the new
material, which is the first of its kind
in England is that it is cheap, absolute
ly dustless and non-slippery. From

Something Wronq.

In a news story in Thursdays Journal
relative to the scarcity of Vermont APP
Piles in local markets it was said:
There must be something wrong when
a few Vermont orchard owners sell ap-
Piles at New York for SO barrel and
the average man pays five cents each
for Oregon apples.
There is someth thing wrong, radically
wrong, in the state of affairs which per-
mits such conditions. If census could
be taken of the number of apple trees
in Vermont the total would be large.
Hardly farm in the State is without
its orchard. The majority of the or
chards, however, receive very little at
tention. They are planted near the
farm buildings with little regard to soil
or other natural conditions. There is
little cultivation or fertilization, little
pruning, no spraying, and when the
cold fall days come the farmers boys
climb the trees and shake from the
branches the apples that have not al
ready fallen. Few apples escape with
out bruises and decay naturally follows.
Thousands of bushels of early apples
rot under the trees because of the lack
or the fancied lack of markets. Thou
sands of bushels of inferior fruit are
drawn to cider mills or fed to stock. 1t
is time that Vermont emerged from the
cider apple stage of fruit growing.
The apple orchard should be made to
contribute substantially to the income
of the farmer. 1t has been demonstrate
ed over and over again that old trees
may be renovated or grated and new
trees wisely chosen may be planed and
made to become an important asset,
provided the soil around them is cultivat-
ed, and enriched, the trees sprayed and
the fruit picked.
We cannot get Oregon prices for
Vermont apples until we follow Oregon
methods. There are in this State
abudant opportunities for apple plant
ations, but the most of our fruit raising
will be in orchards of 100 trees or less.
To make these profitable, however, the
fruit must be picked, carefully graded
and neatly packed. Vermonters must
learn the lesson of adapting themselves
to modern methods, if they would make
apple growing a success. The Oregon
apples that are sold in the local markets
are delight to the eye, if not to the
palate, because they are perfect
specimens, carefully picked and wrap
ped in paper. They look all that an ap-
pie should be, but the flavor of the Yer
mont fruit is better Now we can
raise apples that will look just as we'll
as the Oregon fruit plus the Vermont
flavor, and we can market those apples
more quickly and more cheaply than
can the Westerner.
There has been a gratifying manifes-
tation of interest in apple growing in
this State during the past year that
promises much for the future of Yer
mont. Ten years hence Vermont ought
to be one of the big apple producing

High Cost of livinq.

The dabsters will never get through
with their theories as to the cause of
high food prices. Secretary Wilson of
the Agricultural Bureau can hardly be
called dabster yet he is giving out
from time to time his theories on that
subject.
To show the advisability of direct
trade between the farmer and the con-
sumner the Secretary cites the farm
price and the retail price of a variety of
commodities, one of the most striking
of which is potatoes. He asserts that
city consumers paid last year from so
to rs cents bushel, and often more,
for potatoes while the farmer some
times received only 20 cents, and in
many localities where there was an
overproduction as little as 9 cents a
bushel. Mr.. Wilson says the method
he proposes has already made consider
able Roadway in Great Britain, where it
has proved entirely practicable.
Mr.. Wilson advocates cooperative
societies to buy farm products, for ex-
ample, direct from the farmer in
carload lots and addressing the con-
sumers, tells them to attend to the dis
tribution themselves. That is a very
loose statement for the Secretary to
make. 1t would take months to work
out scheme and great cost. Besides.
no cooperative scheme has been a sue
cess in this country. In England it
works well, but, here is failure. The
Secretary practically charges the mid
dleman, the merchant, with being re-
sponsible for the increased cost of liv-
ing. He gives examples as follows:
"The apple grower receives Sc per
cent of the consumers price when the
purchase is by the bushel and &C per
cent when by the barrel" says the Sec
retary." The strawberry grower gets
40 per cent of the consumers price in
purchases by the quart and rs per cent

SEWEO UP HEART.
Wound Performed by Dr.. Erd-
mann With Success.

New York, Dec. 10. Ten stitches
were made in mans heart in an unus-
ual operation performed recently by DR..
John F. Erdmann of this city, to close a
stab wound, of which there is an ac-
count in the current number of the Med
ical Record.
The patient, man of twenty-one,
had been stabbed in the chest with a
knife three-quarters of an inch wide
and seven inches long. The surgeon
cut away a portion of the patient s
breast bone and raised flap of bone
and cartilage, which enabled him to
reach the heart. He found hole in the
right ventrice large enough to admit
his rubber gloved index finger.
DR.. Erdmann sewed up the cavity,
with ten stitches, closed the cavity,
after provision had been made for a
drainage, and replaced the breast bone.
This took half an hour in all.
There were five days of anxiety, for
the patient caught pneumonia, but he
was soon on the mend and was discharg-
ed in fourteen days, having been kept
in the hospital longer than he really
cared to remain because it was feared
he might, if permitted to go, injure
himself by undue exercise.

er buys peck of onions at a time the
farmer receives 20 per cent of the re-
tail price; when he buys a barrel the
farmer receives SO per cent. So in the
case of oranges when the purchase is by
the dozen the grower receives 20 per
cent of the consumers price, where
as when the purchase is by the
box the grower gets SO per cent.
The rule seems to be, the smaller the
retail quantity the smaller the farmers
share of the consumers price"
There may be an excess of profit I'M
der present conditions at times. But
competition usually regulates the price,
The retailer as a rule has not the mower
to increase prices to any extent. His
competitor would cut him out unless a
combination were formed. But that is
difficult to do among the retailers. The
increase in the number of retailers
might have some effect upon cost, but
not much. Where then does the in
creased cost of living come from? From
the tariff and the trusts in our opinion.
The farmer, scattered all over the
country, the retail merchant in similar
case, have no power to make a general
increase in prices. The protection of
the high tariff, the combination of great
interests give practically absolute power
to control most of the necessaries of
life. The Beef Trust makes its own
prices; the Oil Trust controls oil; the
Coal Trust makes its own prices; the
Railroads have the power to name their
own prices, and so it goes where there
is power there we must look for rob-

The window display was ruined, but
when the big truck was hauled out of
the window it was found it was not
damaged beyond few scratches.
Samuel Glass, chauffeur for the de-
partment store, was going south in the
avenue, and when near 165th street
turned out of the car track to permit a
car to pass from behind. The back
wheels of the auto skidded and the back
of the truck crashed into an IL" pillar
Glass found he could not control the
steering gear. The auto was headed
for the curb, and Glass shouted to a
pushcart man and a sidewalk news
dealer to get out of the way. They ran
to safety.
The chauffeur and his helper jumped
from the truck, and the big vehicle hit
the pushcart, wrecking it. Then the
newsstand went to pieces, and Margaret
Jackson, 10 years old, of No. 493 East
166th street, and Juanita Fischer, 8, of
No. 438 East 166th street, were thrown
to the sidewalk. Several men caught
up the children, fearing the truck would
rebound, but it hit the window of the
furniture store and stuck there.
The girls were stunned. They were
carried to a drug store, and DR.. Gross
man of Lebanon Hospital treated them
and took them to their homes. They
were suffering from shock and bruises,
but otherwise were not injured.
The pavement in front of the furni-
ture store was strewn with broken glass
and furniture, and it took almost an
hour to drag the truck out of the win
dow. After Glass tested the mechan-
ism he found it in working order and
went on his way. No arrests were
made. New York Press.

A HUGE WRECklNG JOB.
The Clearing Away Of the Quebec
Bridge in the ST. Lawrence,

One of the most tangled masses of
steel wreckage that was ever seen lay
In the st. Lawrence river few miles
west of Quebec last January when
h. p. Borden and his engineers and
workmen tackled the job of removing
it. All remember the collapse of the
half-built cantilever August 20, 1907.
Over 10, 900 tons of twisted steel Law in
the river few minutes after the spans
began to dip. Every bit of steel hung
to its neighbor and only dynamite and
Oxyacetylene flame could part them.
Mr.. Boyden, in telling about how it was
done, in the Engineering News, says:
THE magnitude and difficulties of the
job cannot be appreciated unless one
has personally visited the wreck and
seen this enormous tangle of huge steel
members piled high and in utter confu-
sion, yet with no loose ends. Every
ton of metal moved, whether eyebar,
chord or post, must first be cut loose
from its neighbor and subdivided into
many pieces before it can be handled.
The various members are twisted and
bent almost beyond recognition, yet
they are still firmly bound one to
another, only one broken eyebar has
been found in the whole wreck. Before
IheSe eyeDdIS can De removed they
must be broken or cut in two or three
pieces. All the members radiating
from panel point still have their con-
nections intact at that point. A chord
weighing so or rs tons must be broken
or cut at either side of this panel point
and then cut into six or eight similar
sections, to bring it within the capacity
of the derricks. Most of the pieces
removed in this way will still have to
be broken up into even smaller sections
before they have marketable size as
scrap.
"When the tenders were called for
for the removal of this wreck, contrac-
tors as rule, were entirely at sea as
regards the best way of cutting the
material or as to the probable cost of
such an operation. Both dynamite and
the oxyacetylene flame had been used
on work of a similar nature, but for
work of such enormorous proportions
there was absolutely no precedent.
The work for the first month or two
was, therefore, almost entirely expert
mental. Various grades and strengths
of dynamite were tried, as we'll as gelig-
mite. but it has been found that at 60
