AMMUNITION Is
SCARCE IN TEXAS

San Antonio. Tex, Feb. 1.-THE en-
barge placed upon ammunition shipped
from this country into Mexico has af-
fected others than those engaged in
maurauding in that country. The gun
club at Monterey was unable to hold
its weekly shoot yesterday afternoon
from the fact that ammunition was not
obtainable. The ammunition which
was expected to arrive from the Uni
ted States, by general instruction of
the Mexican Government, had been
held up at the border by the customs
officers. While the shells used at
these shoots contain only the small
est bird shot ordinarily used for clay
pigeon shooting, the sweeping order
of the Mexican government to hold
all ammunition without exception
made it imperative on the customs
officers to hold that consigned to the
Monterey and other gun clubs.

MOULOERS STRIKE
COMES To FINISH
Two of the Men Return to
Work and Three Appli-
cants for Positions.

The strike of the moulders at the
Robinson Machine company is ended.
Two of the strikers have again Sc
cured employment with the company,
while three others have applied for
positions, but owing to that fact that
the force is up to the normal number
they have not been employed. The
union has ceased picketing the shop
and practically all of the strikers are
at work in other shops in this city,
or have gone to the other cities for
employment.
The strike began in November fol-
lowing the posting of a notice by the
officials of the company that the open
shop policy was adopted and that
union and non-union men would be
employed on equal terms. The union
men. declared it was virtually lock
OUT to them, and struck Immediately.
Pickets were placed about the factory,
and trouble arose eseyeral times be-
tween them and the non-union men
and strike-breakers who chad taken
their places in the shop. Several cas-
es were taken to the police court and
all that were tried resulted unfavorab-
ly to the strikers. There are several
cases still pending, but with the set
tiement of the strike it is regarded as
very improbable that they will ever
come to issue.
At the time OF the strike, it was de-
clared by the union men that it was
fight for the existence of the local
union. They said that unless there
was one closed shop in the city a
union could not be maintained. 1t is
understood, however, that the exist
ence of the union depends upon the
membership. AS there is nothing now
to be gained by enrolment in the un.
ion since. with the opening of the
Robinson shop, every shop in Rich
mond is open, it is feared that the
membership will decrease until it is
not sufficient to justify the local I'M
ions maintenance.

How Scientific Methods Raised the

How Scientific Methods Raised the
Standard Of q Days Work.
There are now eminent consulting
engineers who are engaged by indus
trial heads to study their establish
ments from top to bottom with a view
to finding by scientific study the meth
ding labor which will improve ON the
old traditional habits. Some extraordi-
nary results have been attained. What
scientific management means is ad-
mirably illustrated by the story of
bricklaying. as told by an expert.
Ordinarily a brick mason makes
eighteen different sets Of motions In
laying a single brick. He bends over.
in the first place. to pick up one brick.
and in lifting 1t he lifts ten pounds Of
brick and about hundred pounds of
brick mason-the upper part Of his
own body. In laying 1000 bricks in n
days work he lifts 100000 pounds Of
brick. mason. This was an obvious
waste Of labor So a common laborer
was hired to put the bricks where the
masons would not have to stoops for
them. Another thing is that when a
mason picks up handmade brick
which is always a little thicker at one
side than on the other he losses the
brick up, turning 1t over until his
touch tells him which side is the top
before he puts it in place in the wall.
The cure for this was to have all the
bricks piled top up before they We're
brought to the masons. Then. further.
every one has seen the mason tap his
brick several times to settle it into the
mortar-more waste of time. The cure
was to make the mortar thinner SO
that the weight Of the brick would set.
tie it into the right position. This was
scientific management, motion study
1t raised the days work for the aver
age brick mason from 1000 up to 2.7OO
bricks day and in individual cases to
much higher figures. The mason made
only six motions where he used to
make eighteen.-American Review OF

Some Korean Superstitions.

The widest superstitions are rife
among the natives of Korea, says a
writer in the Wide World Magazine.
Everything is ascribed to the good or
evil influences Of invisible spirits,
whom they strive to propitiate by in
cessant petty sacrifices. The serpent
is revered as sacred and fed as a do
nestle pet Marriage is question of
etiquette and is arranged by the par
ents. A live goose is given as be-
trothal gift as symbol Of fidelity and
long life. Filial piety Is cultivated to
a remarkable degree, a son considering
it his duty to follow his father to pris-
on or exile. Sacrifices Of pigs, sheep
and goats are offered to the armament,
to which they pray for rain or fair
weather and the removal Of all evils.

A physician was knocked down and
robbed while on his way to see pa
tient. His pockets were ritied. aud
one Of the articles stolen was a elm
ical thermometer with which he had
earlier In the evening taken the tenn
perature of patient. He remem-
bered the temperature registered and
also that he had not shaken down the
mercury before putting the thermom-
eter in his pocket. He communicated
these facts to the police. Some time
afterward a thermometer registering
the identical temperature was discov-
cred In a pawnshop. and the police
were enabled thereby to track the doc
